I found the .338/300 win mag in 2002. Very easy to "improve" the .338wm chamber to take that necked up .300win mag case. Incrediblly versatille and allmost the equal of the .340wby.

I decided...

Still consider myself lucky to have ordered .480ruger brass from PowderValley on Sat and then get the email that they mailed my flat rate box on Tues.
Got any idea of how backed up all the big mail...

Have to say the .270win was a great ctg for learning to handload. Would probably select a .280rem AI if was still in TX, but I'm not!

I got no use for the .17 or .20 cals, other than .177 pellet...

Is drilling-out, enlarging, flash holes "dangerous"?

I dunno... but since I have owned the RCBS broach tool for about 25yrs; I use it.
Seems like a lot of trouble to drill flash holes larger;...

Another uncle of mine bought a 38/44 S&W in the late 60s. Not really a gun-guy, I wondered "who would buy a 38 on 44 frame instead of a .357mag?". This was back in the day of the Polar Bear on...

Not first time, but still Very Memorable... We were up at another uncle's ranch in E. Tx; I was about 4. My uncle took me one night to the barn to shoot rats that were in the hay he had stored...

Any updates or new info to report? I have a Lyman 335 and Lee 250 grain mold and use WW alloy wq'd. Ruger AK guide gun w/20" barrel. The Lyman chambers nicely at magazine length for a dummy...

At about age 3 or 4, my uncle and dad drove us out to the Addicks dam spillway, way out Westheimer rd in Hou, Tx. About 10mi past the city limits in those days. I got to fire a .22 Woodsman from...

Hope you didn't blow-up a nice gun...

My son (10-11 then) was shooting our 10-22 at the range with a 500pk of Federal .22lr cheap stuff. A bullet stuck in the barrel and he kept firing thinking...

Ever been to realguns.com?

Joe, over there, has put out a great volume of very interesting rifle and handgun information over the years. I read his .45 Super articles and found it very sound and...

Think a USRAC serial # matters?

They're great rifles! Not terribly collectible, unless done in a rare chambering, like the push-feed 6.5x55 XTR. Lots more CRF swedes than PFs... But who really...

Have owned a couple .35whelens and an AI'd whelen, and own a .30-06 7600.

If you're not shooting 250gr bullets from your whelen, why own it? .30-06 will do more and have more variety of...

Cheap Ammo???
Cheap Rifles??????

WTH, isn't this a Handloaders Forum anymore?

The typical barrel twist of most factory sporters is 1:14(rem) or 1:12.... Great for 40gr woodchuck bullets, but...

I would reconsider and look at the .375 Ruger. Same case, but you have bullet weights from 235gr to 350gr. Flatter shooting, bullets are cheaper....

If you want a real performer, ditch the .416...

Hornady and Speer were selling their SWC 200s long before I began loading in 8th grade. Any of their books will have info. I always used Unique for non-magnum handgun loads. Just less worrisome...

Always thought the .218 Bee was a great choice for handloader looking for .22 win mag (rimfire) results on economical terms. 2200 loads per lb and a cast boolit under 40gr... Cheaper than shooting...

Have you tried polishing the metal powder chute?

RCBS does sell the anvil that sits inside the hopper; called a Powder Baffle. $7

I got better consistency from my Uniflow measure than Redding...

Used to really enjoy Gun World, Jack Lewis and Dean Grennell were wild men who had fun with guns. Had subscription to 70s era Shooting Times and Guns & Ammo. As a kid, found the motherload when a...

Best tool I ever bought for shooting support was my Bushnell 74-3333 boresighter/collimator. Has a 160x160 moa grid and 3 adjustable arbors. The grid enables scope testing and diagnosis of...

The Lyman 55 and D series scale with the lift rod in the base are excellent powder handling gear. The measure had a great following with the benchrest crowd for its accuracy and consistency. The...

My vote goes to the Redding Ultra Mag. Might be overkill for most ctgs, but if you are working with large magnums or doing substantial case alterations, not to mention its ability to accept 50bmg...

Bought the gun used?

Didja ever really clean the hell out of it? Might take you a weekend and a new bottle of Barnes CR10 but I would start there.

Of course, you may have a damaged...

Where are them "beater" Remington 40x's at anyways? Always heard about some guy found a crate of 40x's in his uncle's barn; next to the new in the crate Korean era Jeep CJ....

Unlikely to find...

If you have ANY Brains you will buy her a nice rifle and scope!

Tikka T3 is nice; but consider....They also make that 8 twist .223..... That is a more versatile rifle due to the heavy bullet...

This still IS a casters forum, eh?

If only 1 Caliber, the obvious choice is .45 Caliber.... Now some of you boys confuse your nomenclature. Caliber means bore diameter, not cartridge name or...
