When I use tumble lube, I size before lubing. When I powder coat, I size and install a gas check before adding PC. Found the cas check's were hard to get started if I powder coated first .

When I use tumble lube, I size before lubing. When I powder coat, I size and install a gas check before adding PC. Found the cas check's were hard to get started if I powder coated first .
Maybe this is where I got that idea. Really works good I think.

That hold over needed is a good example of why to use MPBR sight in. I have only one rifle I shoot cast in, 308. Have it sighted in with an, well don't remember the target size but suspect 4". At 75...

How accurate can you guy's get your group's? I've got the 30-06 with Red Dot down under 1 1/2" at 50 yds, the 308 with Varget does about as well. I'm gonna get out with the 308 this year for deer and...

I've never liked Sierra for hunting bullet's, were always to soft. But I do like match kings for varmint bullet's. I also like Hornady V-Max for varmint bullet's, bot very accurate. I used to really...

If he powder coats them will they still lead? I have shot some PC bullet's in 9mm and 30, never a problem with lead. I've also tumble lubed and have lubed with Lyman 450 with 32 and 38 bullet's and...

I have never slugged a barrel. Shooting cast bullet's in handguns for over 40yrs, haven't learned a thing! I had to go check the dia of my 9mm bullet's. The one I checked were powder coated then...

Year's before I ever saw a tumbler I cleaned brass with 0000 steel wool. I used STP as a lube back then and found I could return each piece to be brighter than new. I used a pretty worn out cleaning...

Ya sure it wasn't dead? I shot a black tail deer years ago. Hit it through the back of the skull, about 200yd shot. When I got there, there was still a bit of movement but nothing was in it's head,...

Marking test load, I write the load on the side of each case with a felt tip pen.

If I had both, I would not convert the 9mm luger brass. I'd find some other brass to use or maybe the right brass to use. I used to have a 308 and 243 that I took LC brass and sized down to 243. My...

I have used Red Dot in my 30-06 with cast loads. Can't see any reason to drill out the flash holes.

Is 25-06 brass that expensive that you need to make them? I have done it, I also size down 280 Rem for 6.5-06. I do that because I have a 30-06 and ton's of brass but don't want to take a chance on...

If you stop and think about it, if you could drive a round steel bearing out of a wheel hub bearing fast enough and put it in the right spot, ya got a dead deer.

Dabbler here too. Been doing 38 cal bullet's pushing 50yrs; haven't learned a thing other than they let me shoot about all I want! Now doing a 308 and a 30-06 and couldn't believe how light the...

Little known secret to hunting bullet's. Any bullet of any type that will penetrate to the vitals and damage them enough will kill the largest animal's on earth! They could be made out of balsa wood....

Only one way to known for sure. Load a few and try them! Do a min number of rounds just to see where your at. They all fire fine, your good to go from there for sure. When I'm loading jacketed...

Go to the 2nd hand store and buy the 30-06 you can afford. Take it home and check the bedding. A dollar bill around the barrel should go to the action without bumping on anything or stopping. Check...

In the past I've had a 222 Rem, 223 Rem and now a 308 Win. I took that factory paint off all of them and didn't have any with walnut! Some kind of a light color hardwood but don't know what it is. My...
I've always been a fan for low power scopes on hunting rifle's. My 308 and 30-06 are turned on to cast bullet's only now and I have discovered that I don't want to shoot them that far, thinking...
I am thankful I was able to supply such useless info! :-) The stuff I got was all LC too. The best brass I ever used in 308 was LC national match.
I been thinking about it and maybe it was that lock ring that screwed it up. My other handgun dies have a hex nut drilled through the side of the die and I have then set there, never re-adjust them....
