Look for a tool that goes in your press that will slightly flair the mouth of the case. I think Lee makes them. A great investment if you plan on doing much with lead.

I modified some 223 brass by enlarging the primer hole then loaded with a couple grains of Unique. I then used a .22 pellet from a pellet gun. I was able to get acceptable accuracy to hunt rabbits...

Brent you are right on the money for weight of a moose leg. The rear legs of a fully mature bull typically run around 155 pounds give or take a few either way. A friend of mine shot one and the...

I found this gem of a website tonight when I was trying to work up a range card for a bullet that I didn't have any published data on.

I input the data...

Thanks for the replies. This intrigued me because logically you would expect a slower bullet to impact lower, not higher.

Hello all, today I was working up a load for an upcoming moose hunt. I'm using a Mihec 375-275 purchased from a group buy about two years ago. With my lead the bullets weigh in at 273gr including...

I have a Skinner on my Marlin 336 30-30 and I love it. I shot a dandy Sitka blacktail this year with it and I have a friend who ordered one for a 300 Savage he will use in February on a muskox hunt....

153313 This is a RD 165g shot from a Marlin 336 with a hardness of about 15. Velocity was just under 2100 fps and the powder 36g of 4350. It hit a Sitka Blacktail that was facing me at 50 yards. ...

How about boolits that show good examples of mushrooming/expansion.

As was already mentioned you should draw when you first see or hear the bear. When to shoot is a decision you need to make based upon your experience and your proficiency. Sometimes due to brush...

My preference is a Remington 870 fully loaded with Brenneke slugs only because it is a gun I have used and hunted with since I was a youngster and trained with as an adult. I have DLP'd (defense of...

I have a Skinner sight on my 336 and love it. When I get another 336 it will also be topped with a Skinner.

Guys, thanks for your ideas. This will give me a good start for some research. Yes Bill, it is an '09 action.

Hello all, I have a question for the forum. I have an Argentine Mauser action that I want to put a barrel on and I am looking for a good cartridge that I can shoot cast boolits. I would prefer it...

You don't loose your woman, you just loose your place in line.

I agree, I also think it encourages the weird "end of the road" types of people to come up here to escape their self induced circumstances in life. They come up here to escape their troubles and...

Thanks C.W.
I was looking at the RCBS 170FN for a meat getter.

Ok all, I have a question for all you 32 Special casters/shooters. I inherited an early 40s vintage Winchester in .32 Special and would like to know what would be a good mold to use? Looking at...

I've been up here 25 years and just love it. Some people think it is like the African savannah with game everywhere but it is not, the land is more "sterile" than other northern states with much...

This post is right on time, I will be in Mesa 3 weeks from now and would love to chase quail. Thanks fcvan for the link.

Mooseman, that is the same way I was taught to age venison. We left the skin on in the cool garage until the chest cavity turned green. We would wipe out the chest cavity with vinegar just before...

What caused him to have a gimp leg?

I have the 7-30 Waters in a TC Contender Carbine. Love that rifle, really fun to shoot. If things work out I may have a chance to use it on black bear over bait this coming spring. It should be...

They will be easy to kill for the first five minutes but once they learn they are no longer protected it will be an entirely different story. The wolves up here are incredibly wary. If they come...

Thanks for the info in this thread. I had a Lee .375 mold that I would not cast a good boolit but after following your advice I poured some really nice ones. Tomorrow I get to see how they shoot. ...
