    Why reloading is satisfying (sometimes)

    A rifle my Grandad made for my mom from things he had lying about. It is a Remington Model 722 that had been a 222. My Grandad rebored it and rechambered to 7x57, a popular "girl's gun" at the time. Since it has chamber length limitations he use the improved chamber to make up for the shorter...

    30-06 M2 Ball loads with Ramshot Hunter?

    My dad thought the 03-a3 was plenty strong for modern loads. His dad reamed one to 338 Win Mag and my Dad happily hunted Elk with it for a long time. Currently I shoot full power loads in a 1928 Springfield. Have heard certain older ones needed some extra investigation due to heat treatment of...

    Love my Chargemaster Link. Always on the money for a few hundred rounds, then needs a quick cleaning and back in business. It's made reloading much more fun.

    Good bye

    This is sad. I remember when my Church's missionary came back from the USSR in the 70's when Putin was KGB. They maimed Christians as a matter of policy. My Dad had friends killed on his airfield in Korea by communists flying Russian MiGs. I visited East Berlin when the wall was up, went thru...
