Very nice rifle. I used to shoot those .22 Magnums back in the days. It's a .22 on steroids. You should have some fun with it. Gives you the power edge over those little .22's.

You aren't alone, a few times I had forgotten to bring a pen that I would type in the readings on my phone.

Welcome aboard. You will like it here, lots of knowledgeable folks on here and great wealth of information.

Jim, you are spot on. I do it the same way. Also using the correct cutter angle helps according to shoulder angle.

Garmin Xero took me 30 seconds to set it up compared to my old P-35 Oehler which average about 10-15 mins to set up and line up with the barrel to the target. Garmin Xero is definitely worth it without the hassle.

Nice rifle, I had one exactly like that rig with original Rem 700 action, but in 7 STW before I converted it to 300 Win Mag

I have stopped using Redding neck bushing sizing dies long ago for this reason and I'm strictly a full size bushing guy.

Very nice wood. I like it.

After swapping from 140 Berger Hybrids to 140 Nosler Ballistic Tips on my 6.5 Creed, I noticed a " donut feel " when seating the Ballistic Tips past the neck / shoulder junction with my Redding Type S bushing full size die. The Hybrids and 120 Ballistic Tips just stops short of that junction so...

I'm curious about this too. I have Quickload on the Windows 10 version, and Windows 10 is nearly at the end of its demise.

It's pretty cool that they invented those steel cases to give the extra velocity, but I'll stick with what I'm using which is brass cases. I would not know what is needed to load steel cases, steel cases do not stretch like brass. I have read that there are more issues reloading steel cases. If...

Great idea swapping from .45 large primer to small without swapping over the heads on the Dillion. I load for .38 Super on my 550, it uses small primers. I still have some large primer .45 Starline brass, I just need to shoot pistols more often.

Neat rigs and sure looks like fun.

44 Special snub nose are neat, and overlooked. It's a man stopper at close range, similar to a .45. I'm also curious on your groups and data at the range. I have tested Power Pistol powder in my .45 and .38 Super, and velocity was great and a bit of flash. I like fireballs at the end of my...

Lack of expansion due to low velocity on the 220 round nose. I'm curious on its expansion if pushed at max velocity. 130 TTSX is not bad at all, despite it losing all its petals. How fast were you pushing the 130 TTSX?

That will do. Good shooting.

Taxidermist called to come pick up my bull nilgai mount, just hung it up.

Finally got the mount and hung.

LOL, I had to pack up and head home to get the bolt, grab another cup of coffee and head back to the range. Learned my lesson. ;)
