Top buck was shot with my 280 Rem, 57.5 grs of IMR7828 and a 154 gr SST. Range was 80yds. The way you see this laying is the way I found him. Second buck was shot with my 7-08. 42.5 grs of Varget with a 140 gr Sierra Gameking. Range was 50 yds

I use Winchester primers exclusively due to having thousands and thousands of them. They were bought for about 30-35 dollars per thousand. Only once in my reloading years have I found that primers make that much of a difference for me. I will qualify that by saying, I only load to hunt and even...

Magnum vs Standard strength primers, it will never hurt to experiment. I've tried Magnum primers in some of my loads for kicks and giggles and only once did a load shoot better, and that was a 7-08, most loads shot the same while using the magnum primer. I did have a load one time that shot...

. With the unobtainability of any Alliant powders I got off that wagon several years ago. Before the Chinademic I found a place that was getting out of the reloading business. I bought all the IMR-7828 they had at 14 per pound which turned out to be 10 lbs. Also bought all the H414, and Big...

Well done and congrats. Ive got a friend that has lost 105 lbs in the past 15 months.

Good looking bear. Congrats

Ive always used Varget when loading for the 308, but I never used any bullet bigger than 165 gr.

Even though I live near Clemson, I've never been a fan. Always been a Carolina fan. On another note, I saw some hybrid bass schooling activity this morning as I crossed the bridge on the Keowee River, right there at the nuclear plant. Ive caught some good fish in that spot over the years.

Ive been using Sweet's 7.62 and JB paste for years. Works great. There's no sense in changing horses mid-stream for me.

Welcome to camp my friend. I'm from SC as well, however we are miles apart Im from the Upstate. About 10 miles from Clemson University. I love the Lowcountry of SC and cherish every chance I get to hunt down there. Again, welcome!

Your problem is not "what was done prior". Your issue is what was not done before you tried seating those bullets. As already noted by others, using the bullet to expand the case necks is not the way to properly seat bullets. NEVER assume anything. If you'll notice the first three letters of...

TAC, is real close to Varget. It would be one of my choices if I didn't have plenty of Big Game and Varget.

What RL338 said. From my understanding they test each lot and those that have the tightest tolerances are segregated and labeled "Match" and they use the "most experienced" primer makers to achieve this.

Doesn't look a Accubond to me. E-Tip..

Big Game is doing really well for me with the 139 gr SST.

You should be set then. Lol I dont have 40k but I have enough.

At this stage of game and imo, if you can find primers around 85 dollars per 1000, and you are in need, you had better buy them.

Im right there with ya. I started buying primers during Trump's first admin. I laid back thousands. Glad I did as well. These "shortages", come about every now and again, so it's always wise to "plan" for the next one, because there's always a next one.

If you'll pay attention to some of the "reloading supply websites" you can catch "no hazmat fee" from time to time. That only leaves standard shipping fee. That's the time to buy powder and primers.

Glad you found some. Ive been finding primers in stock at my local Academy in SC as well. While I didn't need any LRP's I did pick up some Winchester Magnum primers that I ran across Hopefully, primers will become readily available again rather than one of those "would you look at what I...
