I can tell you the 460 S&W is very nice. Recoil with full loads is impressive, not for those that have issues with the shock... Accuracy at distance can be impressive too. Be aware there are...

I too like siamese in 4570.. 2" groups at 100y with just about anything U can feed & see with Iron sights... More comfortable than Marlins by far....
I too like the heft of the Para/Rem/Rock-Ilse double stacks, finally got a RI3.10. Helps my big hands. Used a Pachymar wrap for decades, comfy. Another is the Real Avid clamshell, has a add on rail...

Traded for a Dillon 400 decades ago, got the 550 upgrade parts. It all works. Had lee, RCBS, Lyman, CH. Now have settled on: Dillon for high volume, not too many adjustments & tweaking to change...

I do agree with the 45 kinda guys. Try the Lee 300g gc at about 1000-1200. My hits with 45 have been whap/crash, No step
Course this option won't work with most semi-autos. For that I suggest the...
Couple years ago I got 3 bx of Hornady 300BO ammo. Things went well at range for a while, but soon I noticed many splits in the case shoulder/necks. This could be dangerous besides the fact it...
Cheap WallyWorld fishnet + ring of copper tubing + net potato sack + couple wire ties + wood base large enough to set ammo can on.

There seems a lot of chat @ single shots; I REALLY like the Contender Super 14, or the carbine of 16" or longer. My early S14 bbl was factory hand lapped & is startling at 100yd. So good I have a...

I really agree about the Mennonite seasoning. Great flavor in correct measure, plus it's Really fresh & full flavor. For some variety ask for some of their rubbed sage, add about a half teaspoon to...

Hope this is the correct venue. I've about 300 surplus 3006 FMJ from a recent trade I don't need. It is all circa '40s & '50s. (pre 52) It has been well stored with little or no turning of the brass....

I don't like the reamers, too easy to over do it. Use the old Herters plug & the RCBS, but I can see the Dillon or F/A could be a better tool. Way more expensive for a one time job on primer pockets....

Gotta have a 223, way more accurate than the ar. Then there is 35 Remington, good for anything out to about 150y. Just remember to pad your elbow on the bench!!(OOW) Of course the 45...

Guys I made a stand up brass catcher from a cheap fishnet, a hoop of copper tubing, 2 wireties, empty tater sack & a block of 4x4. Sits on the bench right next to the rest & catches everything once...

HL & CL,
Years ago I welded a stainless case knife handle on a custom 03 Springfield bolt. Wrapped the body in a wet rag for a heat sink, used a high nickel rod for the weld & air cooled after. It...
I like big bore. Kinda evolved into a 45 kinda guy. Got started with the convertable Ruger, then to 45-70, then 45 WM. (a deer Hammer) From there the Governor found a home.
I really like the S&W 460...
