Got out to the range today to test some more loads and things seem to be coming along pretty good. Two loads broke 3/4" using the Hornady 100gr BTSP and H4831. The larger group was 52.5grs and the next one is 53grs.

Got out to the range to test some loads in my Vanguard. Looking promising. Hornady 95gr SST H4831 CCI200

Got my eye on a nice Mk V Safari and was wondering what a good powder would be for 350-400gr bullets. Alliant powders seem to be almost impossible to find these days, so RL22 might not be possible.

Would anyone have access to an old Nosler manual that lists H870 with the 125 PT in the .264 Win?

Just picked up some 120gr A-Frames to try in my .264 and was wondering if anyone had access to Swift data? If they perform well, I will buy the manual lol

Just recently picked up a M70 SG in this chambering and was able to find some Retumbo along with 125gr PT. Seems like a good combination to start with. Has anyone used this load and what was your starting charge? I’m kinda limited for bullet selection due to the 1-9” twist. But also have some...

Just curious if anyone is concerned about false copper signs on their patches using standard brass jags? Specifically using Patch Out or Wipe Out .

Can anyone ID this model? It shows 14 on the underside of the base, but doesn’t look like a model 14. More like a 1400 but the cutter is one piece with the shaft.

I just acquired a Carl Gustav 3000 and it uses a Sauer 80 action. Since it is rear locking, is FL sizing the best method. Or could neck sizing be used?

What powders are folks using with 50-55gr bullets? Seems Varget is popular along with H4895.

Could someone please run powder comparison in QL for the following? Thank you! 22-250 50gr VMax 50gr BT 222 Rem 52gr SMK

Good evening I’m looking for scope suggestions for my new to me Marlin XT-22.

Just picked up a nice old BSA CF2 in 222 and the last time I loaded for the triple deuce was close to 40yrs ago. My load was the Sierra 52gr MK over BL-C(2). Thinking of trying it again, but hear H322 is a better choice. What do you think?

Is there such a thing as a control load for the 270? I’m thinking a 130gr bullet over H4831? The question is, what bullet to start with. The BT is always a favourite in just about any cartridge.

Looking for die set. No Lee please. I’m in Canada :)

Has anyone purchased one of these? If so, what’s your opinion of it?

Just picked this beauty up. This will be my fourth big 8 and the nicest looking one yet.

This might be a strange question but thought I’d ask. Just picked up an older Ohaus 10-10 scale and it stinks of cigarette smoke. What would be a good way to clean it? I think even the plastic cover has turned a darker colour from the smoke.

Has anyone tried 180gr BT in the big 8? Just wondering what powders you used. Was thinking RL22 or RL25.

What is everyone using for dies? Thinking of Forster or Hornady, but open to suggestions. Not competitive shooting, just paper punching and hunting.
