Loaded some 223 grain cast bullets for the 30-06. 25 grains Reloder 7. Seated to the lands. 100 yards with some wind. Everything the same except the brass.
Top of photo old military brass I found at the range. Foreign stuff with a 1969 date.
Bottom same load but with RP brass. I stopped...
Rumor has it that IMR4227 is rebranded H4227 (which isn't on the current Hodgdon burn chart). I see some nice heavy loads for 38 special using H4227 and I have a couple of pounds of IMR 4227. Okay to use IMR for H data?
Came across these in my Dad's stuff. Thought I had found everything of his that seemed unique.
He took 30-40 brass and shortened and milled down the rim to fit 44 mag. Looks like #7 1/2 shot with a cardboard wad held in place by water glass.
This is a map of the national public lands in 11 western states that could be sold under the Senate version of the BBB.
It's a huge amount of land. Much include important watersheds for city and agriculture. You can check and see if it is places you hunt or get your water, travel thru etc...
Opened a bottle of titegroup today to try some subsonic loads in 308 as a replacement for TrailBoss. Took 12 rounds out to the range and it shot well at 50 yards.
Came back in to load some more and found the powder stuck to the sides of the clear plastic hopper on my RCBS measure. Even dawn...
Found where to hold the reticle in relation to the scope set for deer load. (lower left shots) It ends up to be holding the lower thick part of the duplex reticle on the bull.
Then shot three, 3 shot groups at 50 yards. They all hit in the same spot about the size of a grouse's head. Very...
After getting some very fast loads compared to book velocities, I cleaned my rifle very deeply including iosso with brushes and then wipeout overnight.
Velocity dropped 200 fps with the next rounds.
After some searches I find some shooters saying the Reloder 16 I was using lays down carbon...
Trying out some 75 grain Hornady hollow point in the 25-270. Reloder 16
Looks like I am going to have to drop down another grain. This load was 1 grain under max.
All of a sudden I noticed all shots going over the top of the paper. Apparently the front sight had fallen off! Couldn't find the sight or the roll pin. I see a HiViz sight offered. I went ahead an ordered it.
What would be a good replacement?
Is a fiber optic sight durable and a step up?
Other...
Looks like we are in for another oil price drop (with drop in gas prices and increase in natural gas prices likely) like the last two time Popus was in office. The downside is like the last times, we are losing drill rigs and refineries in the US because the price of oil is too low to make a...
SR4759 Loved for cast and jacketed light rifle loads, discontinued
5744- worked okay but was expensive, haven't seen it for years

Red Dot, Gone
Bullseye, Gone
IMR Green, works great for cast subsonic in 308 and 375 ruger, discontinued
Trailboss, good in...

No response.
No one has had this brass in stock for years.
I see plenty of 9mm ammo. The local store has a limit of 5000 rounds per purchase at 18 cents a round. How come it's not worth it to make just rifle brass at close to $2...
