I have a Henry Big Boy X (funny looking thing with a Kings Gate) in 44 mag that will regularly fails to eject spent cases (factory and reload). Cases stay in the action or dribble off the side regardless of how hard the lever is cycled. I'm not finding much info on the net for troubleshooting...

Hi Guys, I'm seeing a good amount of new to me Sierra Game Changers on the Sierra website - 2 new weights in 30 cal, 2 new weights in 7mm, 1 new weight in 6.5mm etc. But I'm not seeing a press release, expected market date, reports of field tests or other data on them. Has anyone heard or...

Hi guys, As I've waded into pistol loading, I recently purchased the automatic primer feed system for my roughly 18 year old Dillon 550B. I've not run any primers through the primer system - so this more of a please educate me request rather than a specific cry for help... Dillon customer...

Howdy, I'm finally getting into reloading pistol cartridges this winter. I'm planning on starting with a moderate 44 mag load to begin with - groundhog / low recoil child load for use in a 20" suppressed single shot rifle. I'm looking to start loading on my RCBS Rock-Chucker, but I've had...

Hi, I just acquired a set of 20 moa Talley rings for a Sauer 100 rifle which uses Rem 700 rings. When changing over from 0 moa to the 20 moa rings, I had to move the crosshairs down. I was expecting to move the crosshairs up, due to the scope being angled down -...

I have a Sauer 100 inbound in 6.5 Creedmoor and a 20" barrel. It will be used with a 9" suppressor, which might add some velocity to the loads; but I don't think it would make the slower powders suitable... I am totally new to the 6.5 Creedmoor and picked-up a box of the 130 grain Sierra Game...

Hi guys, I have a 280 AI load with RL-22 that I'm considering trying with a spare pound of RL-23. I'm not sold on using RL-23 here, I have a pound of it and thought it might make sense to try it as the RL-22 load is a bit temperature sensitive. Existing 280 AI load was chronographed around...

Hi guys, I'm looking at a Sauer 100 Ceratech (synthetic stock) and I have a few questions that internet searches & manuals haven't provided answers for. If anyone has any insight, I would love to hear it. I have emailed Sauer USA but haven't heard back from them. 1. How in the world does the...

Is anyone running their 280 Ackley with the 150 grain Scirocco? If you are, please let me know what powder and charge weight you are using. I'm having trouble finding load data I trust for the combo. Hodgdon lists data, and I've talked to Swift which referred me back to Hodgdon... However, I...

I have a Kimber 84L in 280 AI inbound and was wondering about the advisability of using IMR 4831 and Sierra 120 or Speer 160 grain bullets to fire form some Hornady 280 Rem brass? My gut says that IMR 4831 is too slow for optimum fire forming, but I hate to miss an opportunity to use some old...

I'm sorry to keep bugging you guys regarding load data and development. A family friend just joined the Elk hunt I'm going on this fall and he has a dilemma. He purchased a couple boxes of Barnes 200 grain LRX bullets to use in his 300 Weatherby and he has relied on and trusts H1000 powder. I'm...

Hi, I'm running into what I think is good correlation between my loads and a Quickload prediction, but my brass H20 capacity is larger than what was run through QL. My question is that I don't know what difference my larger H20 capacity makes and or how to account for it. My gut says that the...

Hi, I have a Voere 2165 (Mauser 98 variant with a tang safety and also stamped with Parker-Ballard) chambered in 30-06 with a cracked stock. The stock is not repairable by the local smith and I am unable to come up with a replacement stock. Center of the action screws is about 7.8", receiver...

Hi, I’m getting back into reloading after a 10 year hiatus and I have a bushel of questions regarding load recipes with the newer IMR Enduron powders. I think I’m looking for a reality check and general guidance at this point, rather than Quick Load data which would need to be correlated to my...
