Ok, I'm new to pistol reloading but have extensive experience in rifle precision reloading. I recently bought a Citadel Levtac 92 chambered in 45 colt. I've always liked lever guns but have never owned one until now. I have a Texas Hog hunt coming up this summer and that was the push I needed...
Got lucky and snagged a few bags of seconds off of shooters pro shop. Now that they're actually producing these, hopefully my backorder of firsts will ship soon. I'm excited to get these loaded up in my 338 Lapua!

I'm headed to Kansas at the end of December for whitetail and working up a load for the trip. Tested two different overall lengths and 3 charge weights. It's getting close....

Anyone got any insider info on BC for this new bullet? Or when it'll be available? I need to do some loading for my 338 Lapua and really want to give this bullet a go!

I've got an awesome opportunity to go shoot some whitetails in Kansas with a buddy who's from there. Never been hunting out East before....I'm from Oregon. I hear that the whitetail are pretty big out there.
Looking for advise on gun and bullet choice. I'm leaning towards taking my 260 loaded...
Got a 300 blackout awhile ago and finally getting out to shoot it a little. Got a few rounds of factory through it and decided I'd do some hand loads for it.
Playing with the 110gr bullets at the moment. Loaded some 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullets over 19.4 grains of Lil Gun. I have high hopes for...
I'm a second generation State Trooper and also work within our firearms program. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity when several of these old S&W 66-2's were recently discovered to privately purchase two of them. Long ago my Dad was issued a gun of this generation. I'm planning on...
Well this will be a first for me. I've done plenty of elk hunting but almost all of it has been on private ranch ground. This year I'm hunting in the wilderness....
I'm camped at the trailhead. Ran into a couple of other guys that hunt this area every year and have it pretty dialed in. They...
Anyone know when these are supposed to get released? And anyone have any load data available? Trying to figure out if the increased speed with this bullet is going to be enough to overcome the decreased BC over the Berger hybrid I'm shooting from my Lapua out to the ranges I shoot....

Last day of archery season here in Oregon. My 7 year old daughter had been begging to go hunting with me so I told her she could go today. She was so excited she could barely sleep last night and came in and woke me up early this morning saying she was ready to go! In fact she also got her doll...
Ok, a friend and I and possibly my Dad are looking at planning a Wyoming antelope hunt in the future. I know nothing about Wyoming....never been there. Looking for any advice on hunt units at this point that you all might suggest as areas with good numbers of animals. Also any idea on how...
Got out today with a good friend to verify a load for my AR15 and then verify some drop data.
Load for my AR is R-P brass, cci 400 primers, 22.9gr AR-COMP and the 73gr eld-m. Velocity avg on the chronograph was 2701fps, ES 14, SD 6, and printed about a half inch group. I'm pretty happy with...
Can someone run a quickload for me for a 5.56 using Hornady 73gr ELD-M, 18" barrel with Alliant 2000-MR and AR-Comp?
Just got my scope all mounted up and ready to start doing some load development. I have Varget, IMR4895, CFE223 and the above mentioned to test out initially.
Thanks,
Tim
Ok so I'm fairly inexperienced with working on this platform. I'm an experienced "user" but we aren't allowed to do anything past basic maintenance on our work guns.
So I built my first personal AR to gain some more understanding. That being said here is a quick rundown on major components...
I've completed my build and have been debating what Optics to top it with....rifle is designed to be a 700 yard and in gun that will end up filling quite a few different roles but will primarily be a medium range capable varmint rifle. Working on load development but will likely be shooting the...
Just got done building my first personal AR-15. Have used them for work a lot but never owned one not issued to me and subsequently never reloaded for one.
Purpose built to be a precision medium range rifle with an 18" barrel 1:8 twist.
Just loaded up some 68gr hornady bthp match in once...
My old man decided he needed this to go along with his new custom rifle. It arrived today. I'll try and post a review when I get a chance to play with it. I think if it does what it says it will it's going to be a very valuable piece of equipment!
Stay tuned.....

Got out with my dad to go shoot the new gun smell off his custom rifle.
Loads were as follows:
Nosler brass
Federal 215 primer
RL33
Berger 195gr
COAL 3.69"
Started at 87.6 grains and worked up to 88.5 grains.
Gun shoots like a dream....Nathan's beast brake works awesome and recoil is...
My dad just received his first custom rifle. He didn't spare any expenses and in my opinion it turned out awesome!
Can't wait to get out and help him with load testing!
Specs are:
-Defiance Deviant Hunter action
-Bartlein rem varmint barrel 1:8 twist with 6 flutes finished at 26", threaded...
