The turkey hunting has been pretty bad here in my little corner of Kentucky for about the last 5 years or so. You would go out and sit for several hours in the morning and be lucky to even hear a gobble, much less see one. The last bird I killed was in 2017. Well, maybe we've turned a corner on...

Don't know if y'all have watched his videos on YouTube for bullet testing, but I've seen a number of them over the years. Very down to earth, no fluff, just the facts. He announced a while ago that he was battling pancreatic cancer, and things don't look good for him. If you know who I'm...

Question for the group: I've got an older RCBS Chargemaster that I bought used (thank you, FOTIS!) a few years ago. It works fine, at far as I am concerned. Today I got the latest catalog from Natchez, and they have the FA Intellidropper on sale for $180. So I got to wondering, would it be...

A fellow I know is trying to sign up for the forum, and seems to be having issues with the process. If there's anyone here who can help him out, please PM me and I'll provide his info. Thanks! Brian

And this is exactly why I haven't been an NRA member for the last 25 years. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna135842

Question for the group: My son reloads for his 7 mag. His main powder is RL22, but the Alliant powders seem to be unobtainium these days, and I was told by one place that they are shipping very little, if any, to the consumer market. He has worked up a couple loads with some of the IMR powders...

I've used my ProChrono unit for years to do my load development, but I've often thought about upgrading to something better. There are times when the weather or light conditions just make things tough on an optical unit. I know lots of folks use the Mangetospeed, but that one never caught my...

So, I thought I would pop back in here to report my results from using my new .360BH and my reloads for deer season this fall. As some may remember, I had settled on the 180gr Speer JSP as my bullet of choice, using Accurate 1680 powder, at about 2300fps. To cut straight to the chase, the...

God's paintbrush doing work this morning here in the Bluegrass. No filters, this is real life. Makes me grateful to be able to enjoy life again. It's the little things. Brian

It's been months since I've seen them available anywhere. CCI, Federal, Winchester... scarce as hens' teeth.

Anyone using one? What's the word on them? I've heard good things, for the average guy reloader. Not benchrest precision, but plenty good enough for the rest of us. What have your experiences been?

After some consideration, my wife and I decided that our empty nest was entirely too quiet, so we decided to adopt a 4yo boy. Say hello to Duke. 🙂 He's only been here 2 days, and he's already got this "work from home" stuff figured out. Looking forward to happy trails and happy tails. Brian

We all know that there is little rhyme or reason between the data from one source to another. But assuming that you are loading for a modern lever action, how high have you personally pushed this combo safely? And is that the load that you settled on? I was testing some loads in my Henry this...

Ever since buying my first Henry 45-70 several years ago, I've been bitten by the bug. I'm now up to 5: two 45-70's, two 45 Colts, and a pump 22. I thought I was done...until today. That's when I found out that Henry and Remington are releasing a new cartridge and rifle, called the 360...

My son and I each have a Lanber 2532 12ga semiautomatic with 28" barrel. For insurance purposes, I need to have an estimate of their value. These aren't produced anymore, so there's not much out there to base that estimate on. Do any of you happen to have a recent edition of the Blue Book that...

I've been loading and shooting 45-70 in my Henry levers for a few years now, but I've always just used the RCBS seater die to crimp. For those who have used the Lee FCD in this caliber, what are your thoughts? I know it will lessen the need to be as exacting on trim length, but is there an...

If so, what have your results been? What bullet(s) are you using? What velocity and accuracy? Cheers, Brian

So, I have a Browning X-Bolt Medallion in 6.5CM. My intention for it is mostly just to punch targets, but I'd like to work up a good deer load for it, just in case I ever want/need to use it for that. I've got 2 bullet options available: the 130gr Sierra Game Changer and the 140gr Speer Gold...

I know we have a good collection of excellent hunters and shooters here, so I want to throw out a completely subjective question for discussion. I'm curious to see what everyone has to say. In your mind, and with your shooting skills, what qualifies as an "accurate rifle" vs. an "average rifle"...
