Well I messed up LOL. I put in my seating die and went to relaod, or so I thought. I was tired or something but all I looked for was the decapping pin and when it wasnt there I thought ok. Well it was the sizeing die. I always throw a case in the press and check alignment before charging the...

So I bought 4 boxes of Nosler brass for my .340 Wby Mag. Very nice looking brass, very impressed. I know it says the brass is ready to load. I am just curious though if most of you would run the brass in a sizeing die first or just take their word for it? I was thinking sort by weight and load...

I cant remember where your located TD?? Reason I ask is we have had some real problems with RL22 being temp sensitive here in WY. In my STW it would go from being a good very accurate load and not overly hot to still being accurate but would blow the primer pocket's and stick the cases. I backed...

Does anyone know if the CT is using the BT hunting bullet or the regular BT bullet? When I tried the BST around 2002 in my STW I was blowing the jackets right off of them.

I posted this as a follow up over at the Weatherby Nation and thought I would here as well. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Ok I will be more specific on my cleaning. Yes I have a one piece coated Dewey rod. Unfortunately I have a brass jag right now but will be looking for a new one. I...

So I have been cleaning my, new to me......340 Weatherby Mag Alaskan. It has a nickel coated stainless bbl. Anyways I disassembled the gun to clean it. The bolt and inside the stock everything was very very clean. I don't think the gun was ever hunted. The problem is, I have been working on...

Heck, that is great news. I got a fresh can of H414 sitting in the cabinet right now.

What does it show for a charge of the 760 if you dont mind?

I already have the 185's. My thought is a lighter faster load to try first and then I will move to something bigger, say 225-250gr. I am a bit nervous to go from my lightning fast 7STW shooting 127gr bullets (3850 fps) to say the .340 with 250gr pills going much much slower. Mental thing, baby...

I am trying to figure out loads for my new .340 Weatherby. I found a box of the 185gr TSX bullets I was going to try first. It looks like from most manuals info I can find (which is very little for the .340) that for this weight I need a faster powder than Reloader 19 to achieve max...

Ok, now that makes a little more sense. If you like a pronounced reticle then you might want to consider something in a first focal plane scope. As you know the higher you turn up the power it zooms in on the reticle as well. So you have a bit of a trade off. In low light, low power is best...

Have you looked recently with Nikon's huge promo they have going now? This may well be the best prices and bang for your buck that I have seen for several years. I am ordering one in the morning!

I have to add, looking back at the OP's posts. First he is talking up Minox scopes, then questions Zeiss and reconsiders, then has used Zeiss on an antelope hunt but wasn't happy. Doesnt want to spend over 1K and now is going to save for a Swaro?....What gives?? Also, just because one...

Having used Zeiss and been a Optic reviewer for a few years now...I find this statement to be wholey untrue. Between all the major high end brands, comparing simular sized scopes, the difference in shooting time only differed by 3-4 minutes. The Conquest scopes were right there with the best. I...

Simply beautiful!!! That .416 is a serious power house too! Jealous.....yes, that's me!

You guys kill me. A standard .270 over the mighty Roy? You have to be kidding me!! The single shot would stay home, ....actually, I would sell it as I refuse to own one and go buy a Elk rifle. The .257 was Roy Weatherby's go to round for North American hunting for a reason and I have watched...

I was going to order me some Nosler brass today. I thought I would ask first though if there are any promo codes out there to use to get some help with buying some of this FINE brass!?

Wow, thanks for the great info guys. I hope the rifle will be here this week. It got delayed on shipping a few days because I was stuck at work and missed giving them the final go ahead. I cant wait for it to get here!! I really want to get after some of those GSC bullets and some of the...

So 7828 seams to be the powder of choice. I was really expecting to see RL22,25,33 and Retumbo come up as well. So would 7828 still be a good choice for the lighter weights like the 180's (or the GSC 180 which acts more like a 165) or would I want to go to something faster? I thought I knew...

They did! I called them and talked to them about a few different rifles they had. Out of all I was interested in, they threw me the best deal on that Alaskan you showed me. So good, i don't want to say how much but lets just say it was significant! I had them bore scope it and they said it was...
