    Fiochi small rifle primers?

    Anyone here try them? Thoughts? I have been using cci 450m and don’t have any complaints except availability and price.

    Worst brass?

    What's the worst you've seen? Best? Options are very limited still right now so we use what we can get. Winchester is the worst I've seen/used personally. I've had some good Winchester, but the last two batches of Winchester were pretty bad. Best I've used is Lapua, but I haven't had the chance...

    Arken sale...fyi

    I watched a lot of you tube reviews and decided to give one a shot. 6-24x50 FFP with zero stops for $325 shipped...with rings, throw lever and scope level! If the quality matches what I've seen reviewed...that's a heck of a deal IMO. Just thought I'd let someone know about this sale if they're...

    Annealing brass

    I've been reloading for quite a few years and I never bothered with annealing. I never saw the need, but I decided to try it out. I tried some 5.56 LC brass and I just used a propane torch with a deep well socket on a 1/4" extension chucked in a 1/2" drill. I did 6 seconds with the flame on the...

    Hornady vax mandate....

    I just saw this on YouTube. I'm not going to get political here, but there was comment after comment from people saying they're going to boycott Hornady over this. It's really awful that Joe Biden is putting this country through this. I can't with a clear concious buy product from a company...

    Boyd's pro varmint....sorry Boyd

    They are great stocks for the money. I never liked the sharp tang area though. Decided to make it a little more McMillan A3/A5 ish. I might take it down a bit more than this but I'm gonna give this some time first. I can always take more off, pretty hard to put material back on....

    What scope am I looking for?

    I can't quite seem to find exactly what I want. 4-6 on the low magnification and 18-24 on the high end, exposed target turrets with zero stop on the elevation, no illumination, ffp, moa turret adjustments, 30mm tube preferred but 1" will do. $800 max? Athlon Midas tac 6-24 is really close, just...

    StaBall 6.5

    I just found out about this new powder. Supposed to be a temp stable ball powder. Anybody get there hands on this stuff yet to give it a try? Hodgdon has online data for it. Looks pretty good in 7mm-08, I may have to give it a try.

    Throating long...

    I've done this once when I had a new barrel put on my 7mm rem mag and I can't say I've experimented enough with it to form a solid conclusion. I do think it let me push the velocity a bit higher without seeing pressure signs though. In this case, I'm wondering what (If any) gains could be...

    Thinking about a new "Mountain" type hunting rifle...

    I have a M70 featherweight in 7mm-08 and my other rifles are heavy 12lb long range setups. This would be a 400yd gun. Tikka t3x has caught my attention and I'm struggling between another 7mm-08, maybe have it throated long to take advantage of the long Tikka action? Probably won't gain too much...

    Obscure QL request...

    Hi all. I'm considering getting a 14" 6mm 30-30 Ackley Improved for a TC Contender G2 pistol. I believe it is the same as 6mm Bullberry Improved? I can't seem to find much if any load data for this cartridge. I'm curious if I this cartridge has higher performance than a more normal 6x45 which I...

    Burris Fullfield E1 4.5-14x42 vs Bushnell Trophy X30 4-16x44

    Need to scope my Remington 783 Tactical in .223. I've narrowed it down to these two as I don't want to spend very much money on this scope. I've never owned a Burris but I have several Bushnells and none have had any issues. Please share your thoughts...

    New project .223

    I didn't need another loading project, but why should a guy let that stand in the way? I picked up a Rem 783 Tactical with 24" barrel in .223. I have some load data to work from but some Quickload data would be useful too if someone wouldn't mind helping me out? I always come back to these...

    6x45 quickload

    22" barrel, 2.500" coal, 105gr Hornady hpbt with IMR 3031. I'd like to see what the pressure curve looks like with this combo. Also, just an over-all view of the different powders using a 55gr Nosler LFBT at the same 2.500 coal? I'd appreciate it, thanks!

    Please expand the E-tip line Nosler!

    I would love to see a .243" in 55gr and .284" in 100gr and 120gr! 55gr .243 would be good for coyotes with minimal pelt damage and the lighter 7mm's take the 7mm-08 to a new level for most hunting inside 300yds. They should scream in the bigger 7mm's too! Just saying....PLEASE :?:

    Winchester brought back the M70 featherweight SS!

    I noticed that they are offering this model again. I was wanting one in 7mm-08 for years and when I was finally able to afford one it was discontinued and I settled for the standard blues version. For some reason they aren't clambering the new stainless models in 7mm-08 though which seems crazy...

    20 Creedmoor

    Just sitting here on my day off and pondering ideas. Anyone care to guess what a 20 Creedmoor might be capable of other than torching barrels? Lol

    .223 with 40gr bullets and RL7

    So there's a thread on 24hour campfire where a couple guys are talking about this and it has me wondering what this would look like in Quickload. Noslers 40gr data shows 23.5gr max of RL7. They were starting there and went up to 27gr. Stating 4000fps, which I'm inclined to believe. My question...

    Cartridge "Ogive length"?

    I'm not sure what the correct term is but base to ogive length on a loaded cartridge. I was going through my notes and I noticed something that got me thinking. The ogive length to lands for a cartridge was different from one bullet to another. Shouldn't they be the same? I rechecked the longer...
