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...

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.

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...

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?? ...

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...
