Any 221 Fireball fans?

These Moose trophys :grin: were taken with my 25-06 Rem (Ruger #1V) and 243 Win (CZ550 Full Stock) on the 100 yard range in Spring Valley Ohio. The handloads for the 25-06 were Nosler 100 grain Ballistic Tip bullets. The 243 was Remington factory ammo 100 grain Core Lock bullets. You can see... -

What's your best reloading tip?
Picked this up from another forum. Run the flat portion of the shaft of an electric toothbrush (minus the brush) up and down the side of the cartridge case to settle the powder for compressed loads. It allows you to get more powder in the case. -

Just saying Hey!
New to this board but not new to reloading. I reload several cartridges - 300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, 45-70, 25-06, and 243 Win. Looking forward to participating in the banter.
