    M77 Tanger

    I stopped into the local gun/small engine repair shop looking for primers a few days ago and happened to notice an older red pad M77 in the rack that looked pretty clean. I glanced at the tag and it looked like it said 495, but I never picked it up or looked too hard, I was struggling to stay on...

    30-06 scope

    I'm looking at putting a hunting scope on my 30-06. Will be medium range, looking at keeping the weight down. I've pretty much narrowed it down between a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 with BDC reticle and a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 with ballistic firedot reticle. Both are relatively the same price...

    Sako 180gr Super Hammerhead

    Ordered some Sako Super Hammerhead in 30-06 to test out and see if it would work for elk and moose. I've only shot half a box so far and am still evaluating everything, but it seems to be decent ammo. I mainly reload, but in the last year or so I've learned that some times it's not bad to have...

    New rifle build

    I'm starting to plan this year's build and think I want to go wild. Wildcat that is. Not anything overly radical but niche to say the least. I love the 6.8 SPC round and would like something similar to it but with a bit more punch. After talking with another member, I think I've decided to...

    Frankford Arsenal press

    I like how they took all the upgrades to the Forster Co-Ax and integrated them into the first iteration of presses, but it's a huge swing and a miss on how the dies go into the press. I looked up the prices on the blocks your die goes into, 16 bucks for 3. What's everyone's thoughts on this...

    Ruger American

    So after watching Whittakers for about three weeks and getting the blessing from my best half, I pulled the trigger and ordered a Ruger American 22-250. It is the special they had Ruger do with the 8 twist stainless barrel, and were on sale for $283 shipped. I wanted a beater coyote rifle that...

    Inconsistent concentricity

    I'm finding it hard to get consistent concentricity on some 22-250 AI ammo I am loading. Just looking for some tips and tricks I suppose as they're are a few new tricks I'm using with this set up. Rifle is a savage 12 with a new X-Caliber 22-250 AI 40° chamber. Brass is Sig Brass which I've...

    Shooters World Precision

    Received my few pounds of SW Precision powder this week, got to go out and test some in my 338-06 so far. Using Varget data for a reference I tried out four loads with a 200gr Interlock FB. Conditions were far from ideal, a heavy mist was coming and going, kept moving the rifle to my truck and...

    6x45 80gr TTSX

    Looking to see if someone would run some numbers for me. 6x45mm, 22" barrel 29.9gr H2O 80gr TTSX COAL 2.335" 25.5gr cfe223 gave me 2690fps. Looking for what powder theoretically will give me the best velocity. Thanks in advance! SHM Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    80gr TTSX 6x45

    Took the 6x45 out with some 80gr TTSX and shot them into some jugs today. Luckily I lined up 5 milk jugs, because I found it in the last jug. Test was at 100 yards, 2690 fps at the muzzle measured with the mag speed, which was attached for the test. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    6x45 data

    Hey there, Just got my 6x45 R700 together, was wondering if anyone has any information on it they would like to share. I'm thinking about giving Power Pro Varmint a try. I have been using H335 and AA2200 for barrel break in. I'm wondering what folks are using with the 70gr Nosler By. I've...

    204 Ruger

    What's everyone using in their 204's? I'm loading for my FIL's No1, I believe it's a shorter barrel, I've only shot it a few times. I have 32/34 grain bullets on hand, he liked 25.0gr Rx10 with the Varmint Nightmares, but it didn't have as much velocity but drop as 32gr vmax and 28.0gr H335...

    Trophy bonded tips

    Has anyone loaded these yet? I just did a quick work up to try and get some data before I start accuracy testing. I started with 64.0 gr RL23 and went up to 65.2 and stopping, all in .2gr increments. Data is as follows: 64.0 - 3110 64.2 - 3099 64.4 - 3100 64.6 - 3123 64.8 - 3116 65.0 - 3121...

    Redding powder measure

    Hey there, So many years ago, I purchased a reloading lot of items on eBay and it came with a Redding powder measure. I got the entire lot for less then a new powder measure and used it to drop what seemed like a ton of powder. Fast forward many years, it wasn't even mounted on my bench...

    200gr Nosler Ballistic Tip

    Went shooting today to finalize my load in my 338-06. H380 powder for 2778, four shot SD of 2.2, exceptional accuracy. It was about 45 at best, by far one of the warmer days we've had so I figured it's close to hunting season temps, figured I'd give it a go. Berm was frozen, found this sitting...

    6.5mm barrel blank

    So I picked up a 1 in 7" twist 6.5 barrel blank from X-Caliber, wondering what I should do with it. I have over 18 pounds of H1000 and no H4350, so I was hoping to stay in that wheel house. I'm leaning towards one of the 6.5 SAUM type rounds, probably would do prefit. I'm just trying to plan...

    Winchester model 88

    So my father gave me my grandfather's Winchester 88 in 308 for Christmas this year. My grandfather passed last year, and it means a lot to me. My father said he would probably take it out and shoot it once or twice a year but knew I would take it out hunting so it was a no brainier. My great...

    69 gr SMK 22-250

    So my Cabela's special 12 FV has been a real copper mine. Shoots great and puts every bullet to almost the exact POI at 100 yards, so I'm not going to rebarrel until I abuse it at least next summer, maybe further if it keeps shooting. Anyway, I had some David Tubb final finish in 224 dia, and...
