I have a 36 and I really like the rifle. I would not hesitate hunting deer with it. But I would limit my shots to 50 yards.
There really is no comparison between the 50 and the 36 caliber. They...

My new TVM rifle showed up today. Now I need to get out on the front porch and do some shooting.
Overall I think it looks pretty good. Only time will tell when it starts paying for itself in...

I have been thinking about buying one to be able to hunt ground hogs out to about 150 yards. I think it would be a great hunting rifle?? Tom.

Is the Marlin 1894 in 218 Bee capable of 2" accuracy at 150 yards with a decent scope?? Thanks, Tom.

I am working up a Gallery Load for my 30-06 Encore. Somewhere around 3.5 grains of Red Dot. This will be used for porch plinking out to 50 yards at the 2-1/2" gong for off hand practice. And also...

Well I decided on the Lee Classic Turret Press. I think it will do exactly what I want to do. Which is to speed up my 30-06 cast bullet loading, yet still give me good control of each step. I...

I am getting ready to put in an order for some reloading equipment. I am going to start loading some RCBS 180 grain FP bullets in a 30-06. What is the best seating die to use for the cast bullet?? ...

I do not understand what you are trying to say. I am talking about Carnuba Red and BAC which are both products of White Label Lube or Lar45?? I thought they were forum sponsors?? I do not...

Believe it or not but I fully agree with you. If you notice the beginning of this post you read where I have single stage presses plus a Hornady full progressive.
I have actually been fully happy...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I thought about that. But would I definitely need to set up the sizer heater in order to use the Carnuba Red??
And a second question. Could I just use the Carnuba Red for my 45 Colt and 45-70...

If you were going to order a sizing die(Lyman Sizer) for a 0-06 factory Encore barrel. And you could not slug th barrel. What would be your best guess if you had to order the sizing die tonight?? ...

I am interested in putting together a pretty good load for my 30-06 Encore rifle.

It looks like I will be able to get one of those group buy molds. So that is a good thing, thanks for the recommendation.

Anybody casting bullets for the 22 Hornet?? I just picked up a 10" Contender barrel in 22 Hornet with open sights. I am thinking about a light load for the Hornet, and thinking about casting for...
It is really not fair to compare the recoil unless you are comparing loads that have the same velocity. In a Super 14 you should be able to considerably reduce your load and match the velocity of a...
