American Reloading has a good deal on pulled down Primed Sig 300 Win Mag brass.I bought some earlier this year and the quality looks really good.I just lubed the outside of the case and raised the decapping pin on my Lee die or just remove the pin if your die has a removable pin and run them...

I was looking for a CUP to PSI calculator and I ran across this site.Much of the time when looking at load data,it shows CUP pressures and not PSI.This site has conversions for that and much more.I thought I'd share it with the group. https://calculator.academy/cup-to-psi-calculator/

I killed this Red Stag with a 308 Norma Magnum using a 180gr Accubond.I guess you could say this was a good test for the Accubond and shows the importance of using a stout bullet when shooting larger elk type game animals.Hitting heavy bones can happen and really do a number on a bullet.I shot...

Loading the various 338 cartridges video by the Real Gunsmith Randy Selby.He has some interesting videos based of his over fifty years of rifle building.

Quickload request using Magpro powder in the 30-06.Magpro is a spherical double based powder that has a burnrate just a little faster than H-1000.It's a heavy powder by volume,so you can put a lot of powder in the case,much like Reloader-26.Since this powder is more available as well as cheaper...

Finally got to take my Ruger tang safety with a new 26" Shaw barrel 308 Norma Magnum to the range for a few test loads to see where it's at.I was quite impressed with the velocities.Groups where OK at 3/4",but a little load adjustment I think it will do better.I was expecting about 100fps less...

I used the 180gr Ballistic Tip out of my 300 Win Mag to kill this red stag.My load was 73.5grs of Hunter,mv a little over 3100fps.Shot the stag in the onside shoulder,bullet left a silver dollar size exit hole just behind the offside shoulder.Judging it's performance,I have great confidence in...

I got an email from Western Powders that certain lots of Accurate 4064,2495 and 4350 are being recalled.It just so happens I have some of those on the recall list and have taken pictures of the container lot numbers and sent them to the company.Here is the link. http://www.accuratepowder.com/

Ran my loads over the chronograph today.Used WLRM primer on all,with Winchester cases.The 46.5 Accurate 4064 load is slightly compressed.I shot two groups with TAC and one four shot group with the CFE223.This was all the ammo I loaded for this test.Velocities were fairly close,just a tad over...

I was looking at the bullet lengths the other day.I seem to always have a little better accuracy with 168gr Ballistic Tips over the 165gr Ballistic Tips in most of my rifles.I just find the 168gr just easier to get to shoot better.You would think there wouldn't be that must difference in just...

Sent one of my 30-06 rifles to JES and had it rebored to a 338-06.I ran some test loads and this is one of my three shot groups at 100yds using 59.0grs of Ramshot Big Game and a 200gr Nosler Ballistic Silvertip.I think I'll try that one again.Gotta love those Nosler bullets.2800+ fps with a...

Just bought a 1982 Remington 700 BDL 30-06.I bought it because I was thinking I would take the Leupold scope it had on it and put it on my .22 magnum,rebarrel the action with a match grade barrel and probably just sell the stock.I took it out and shot it just to see if the scope was good and...

Took my Remington 700 Long Range stainless steel 7mag out today to do a little three shot group test load and velocity checks.Was shooting only 100yds today.150gr bullets were Nosler Ballistic Tip seconds.The 160gr was Nosler Accubond seconds.Powders were Accurate-4350 and Reloader-26.

I got my 10 dollar Ebay China special today.I hooked it up to my laptop and ran an inspection.I'm quite impressed with it so far.I checked one of my rifles that showed some copper fouling.Couldn't really see the detail that well until I did this.I made a slightly loose plug out of a paper...

I got my Frankford Arsenal Trim and Prep Center today,I tell you what,that machine is impressive.I wish I would have bought one a long time ago.It is very easy to set up,the trim lengths are consistent too.Trim,chamfer,deburr and clean primer pockets takes about 10-20 seconds for each...

I don't think 165gr Nosler BT's are good for coyotes if you want to save the pelts,but they sure can kill them quickly.I shot this one with a 30-06 at 125yds, loaded with 58.5grs of AA-4350,WLRM primer,MV @ 2940fps.If you look close at the top of the wound cavity,you can see the little green tip.

DRT performance @3150fps.

Has anybody loaded any Ramshot Hunter powder?That stuff meters so well out of my Redding,dropping charges right on the money.I tried some in my 30-06 the other day,59.0grs got 5/8" groups with 165gr Interbonds @ 2800fps out of a 22" barrel.Gotta try it in some of my other rifles.Think I'll see...
