    .30-30 case capacity differences

    Oh, I always do those things. My issue here is, the reduced case capacity makes it impossible to get the maximum potential from the round, per the published load data.

    .30-30 case capacity differences

    I'm currently creating some brass for my 360 Buckhammer by using resized 30-30 brass. And what I'm finding is that there is a significant difference in case capacity between Remington and Winchester cases. For example, using 3 Remington cases that were resized and trimmed, the average weight is...

    New Hornady Power Trimmer

    Anything to make that process easier is a good thing. I've got the Frankford Arsenal case prep center and it makes things much easier than the old lathe type, even with using a drill to power it. I've even got some adapters to use for my straight-wall cases in 45-70, 45 Colt, and 360 BH.

    Scope for a young lady!

    Fotis, I have a Simmons 8 Point 4-12x40 and a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40 which may fit the bill. PM me if interested.

    Do you need loads?

    It's not the same guy, but the data is very similar. The Reloading Assistant is basically a compilation of the published data from the powder manufacturers. I'm not sure if it also has info from the bullet manufacturers or not. I'll have to check that out. Always good to have plenty of data.

    Do you need loads?

    I'm checking to see, but I think it's the same guy who created the Reloading Assistant phone app.

    Forgive me, Father

    Not quite. It's a Hi Power clone.

    Forgive me, Father

    Agreed. Easy enough to fix. Even some gloss tung oil on those ones would make a big difference.

    Forgive me, Father

    For I have committed the sin of lust. Anyone know how many Hail Mary's this is worth? Probably a lot.

    What did you use to kill your first deer?

    12ga single shot with deer slug, or "punkin' balls" as they were called. I was about 15 or 16, and it was a nice doe.

    So Glad That I Tried Different Rifle Cartridges & Loads!

    I saw this quote the other day and thought it very profound. My sentiments exactly.

    Help me decide on a new rifle caliber

    My friend moved to KY from Colorado. He had a 300 WSM that he bought for mulies and elk out there. After using it on deer around here, in the woods, he put it away and went back to his old 35 Rem. It was just too much gun, tore them up too much. Now, maybe if you were hunting over an open field...

    Universal reloading manual

    Who buys manuals anymore? Hodgdon has all their data (Hodgdon, IMR, Winchester, Accurate, Ramshot) online for free. With the Hornady app, you can buy the whole manual, or just the calibers you load for. Nosler has their data online for free, as does Speer. Sierra data is a little harder, but it...

    I prefer to "celebrate diversity" when it comes to my hunting and shooting platforms, lol.

    Ramshot Hunter in .243 Win?

    I had never thought about using Hunter in the .243, but after looking at the data it seems to be a good fit. Interested to see what results you get. What rifle are you loading for? In my Marlin XS7 .243, I have mostly used IMR 4064 and, when it was available, IMR 4166, with bullets from...

    Dehumidifiers for gunsafes?

    Golden Rod or similar, plus a couple of the "rechargeable" dehumidifier packs. Also, it's a good idea to have a hygrometer in the safe, so you know what the humidity level is. Anything below 60% is usually fine.
