    35 Whelen or 35 Whelen AI

    I'm thinking about a rifle build in 35 Whelen or 35 Whelen Ackley Improved. The donor rifle is a Ruger #1AB in 30-06 that has never been fired. The 1AB is equipped with a 22" barrel. If I have it rebored is it worth doing the AI in a 22" barrel. My son's Remington 760 in 35 Whelen performs well...

    30-30 Brass

    I just received a product notification from Midway. They are listing Nosler 30-30 brass as available at $105.99/100, not including the tax and shipping . As much as I like Nosler brass I refuse to pay that! I for one will start buying other vendors brass. I really don't think my 336 Marlin is...

    3 vs 2 screw Model 70

    I got two post-64 model 70s that are both three screw with two piece bottom metal. I read an article about upgrading to two screw one piece bottom metal. I know in theory that it may be an improvement but would like to hear from someone who has actually gone though the process. This doesn't come...

    Remington Model 600 Torque

    I recently purchased a Model 600 Magnum in 6.5mm Rem Mag. My question is, with their plastic trigger guard what should the guard screw torque setting be? I want to check it and don't want to over torque and possible crack it.

    Model 600 Remington

    I have a chance to pick up a Remington model 600 in 6.5 Remington Magnum. If I purchase it I would like to put it in to a Mannlicher stock. Now the big question, remove the vent rib and rib mounts, leave the rib, or rebarrel to get rid of the rib.

    Favorite Powder for .358 Win

    I have a Savage 99C that I had JES re-bore to .358 Win a few years ago. I've been playing around with TAC and Hornady 200 gr soft points but am not getting the accuracy that I'm looking for. I want to stick with 200 gr but is there a better powder choice?

    Stripped Screw Head

    Anyone Forming 225 Winchester Brass

    The supplies of used 225 Winchester brass have dried up. Winchester has made special runs of it on occasion but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen soon. There are some custom companies offering it new but at $5+ per case, which is just too expensive! Does anyone have any experience in...

    BLC-(2), Who uses it?

    With the powder shortages these days I find myself with 3#s of BLC-(2) on the shelf. I know that it can be a versatile meat and potatoes kind of powder but is there any cartridge and load where it really shines?

    The One You Didn't Buy

    I think we've all seen a rifle on a shelf and kick ourselves for not pulling the trigger and buying it. Mine was an early Ruger 77 in 6.5X55 (excellent condition, tang safety, red butt pad). Since that day I've been to many gun shows and in hundreds of gun shops and have not run across another...

    Opinion on Nickeled Brass

    I personally don't like working with nickeled rifle brass as I find neck tension to be on the extreme side. Normally I end up inside neck turning or use an expansion die with a turning mandrel to get the tension that I want. But even then my loads never seen to shoot as well as with plain brass...

    .17 Caliber 30 Grain bullets

    I'm currently shooting Chan Nagel's NT000 30 grain bullets in my .17 Remington for Coyotes. Chan is ceasing to make bullets for the time being and I am starting to run low. I want to stick with 30 grainers as they produce clean kills out to 350 yards and are very fur-friendly. I used 30 grain...

    How did you get started reloading?

    I was a junior member of a rifle and pistol club that was affiliated with the Department of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM). Through the DCM we would get surplus military and .22 Rimfire ammunition. We would take military ammunition and pull the bullets, neck size, and seat soft point bullets of the...
