Ramshot TAC and Accurate 2495 act very much like H4895, both are available at Powder Valley. At current prices, TAC is a bargain.

I have a bunch of Marlin's, most have not been shot very much, typical box of factory rounds every two or three years. Many have long headspace, protruding primers from light loads show the excess,...

I've got Woolrich, ll Bean and Filson Wool in the closet, heavy and medium coats, wool shirts. Over the years I have started wearing wool with a windproof layer and carefully chosen synthetics. I...

45 Auto, 200 SWC is easy, the .40 S&W and is surprisingly easy to load, IF you just go for moderate/easy shooting loads, lots of cheap brass. 45 ACP has advantage of large or small primers if you...

I have used a Marlin .444 (1980) to hunt elk. I have worked loads using the Speer UniCor(?) 300 grain and the Hornady 265 FlatNose. Using H322 accuracy was outstanding with either bullet. Recoil...

15meter has the right items from NOE for neck expanding, NOE carries 'M' style expanders, .316x.312, .318x.314, .319x.315 (step and expander diameter) plus a bunch more. I have quite a few and they...

NOE makes a push thru sizing die with many, many bushings. He does stock .314, .315, .316, .317.....

I had some .43 Egyptian brass from the Connecticut Cartridge Company. It was 1965/66 or so. They dropped the specialty brass when they got a contract for .30 Carbine ammunition due to Vietnam(my...

I have had excellent results with the many Burris scopes I have. Over the years I have had 3 Leupold(failed adjustment), 2 Weaver(loose lens), 4 Bushnell(adjustment failures), Tasco(broken...

Lived in Conifer CO for twenty years or so twenty years ago, expected snow Labor Day through Memorial Day, sometimes in June and August, got into snow in July on occasion in the West Elks and the...

I have used bullets from BullShop, Matt's Bullets, Oregon Bullets with excellent results for 30, 32 and 35 cal. For handgun, Missouri Bullets, Blue Bullets for PC work but have not tried farther...

A Mauser 98 in 8x57 works as well as an ought six on any game. Excellent with cast bullets, I have used plain base commercial .324 cast boolits made for the 32-40/32 special for light plinking...

I checked the Decapper/Expander in my Lee 303 Savage Sizing Die, it is .3066. That diameter, .3065 or so is very common for .30 cal expanders for jacketed bullets. Keeping in mind that the 303...

After I got brutalized by a 12GA 1 1/4 oz load in a light double when I was 12 years old, I bought a 16ga Stevens 58 bolt action from my Uncle Herv for $35,making paymentsof $4 a week, my newspaper...

If is unlikely that Savage ever made an 1899 Savage in 303 with anything but a .308 bore. I have a couple or four and all shoot well with 'standard' .30 cal bullets. I have used several .308...

I use both the Lyman 'M' and the NOE expanders. IF the Lyman 'M' die expander IS the CORRECT diameter, I find the Lyman to be a bit easier and smoother to use. I have had more 'crumpled' necks...

Wyoming, Montana, Idaho ? Lions, wolves and bears, even grizz but you can CHOOT EM! if they're chewing on you.

Doesn't unpleasant muzzle blast and unpleasant recoil make you a tough guy? Those mild loads, soft recoil pads and pleasant, high round count practice are just for us sissies.

I use the RCBS 45-300 FN with gas check in a Marlin 1895. Slow it down to 1200fps for better than 44 mag results, I speed it up to 2100fps for elk. THE heavier the bullet the more recoil at the...

SamsClub has the salted caramls too. I celebrate the Marshmallow Peeps, made in Bethlehem, PA, where I lived, went to school as a kid.

From geometry, to get a 6 pointed star you take a compass, draw a circle and take that compass, without changing its measurement and mark points on the circle, connect the points and you get a six...

I too like the LEE 358-105-SWC. Very, very accurate in a Browning 1971 .380.

I like the RCBS 30-180-FN, I size at .310 for my Marlin 336 Microgroove and Ballard rifled leverguns, also works well in my Savage 99 .303's, .308's, and 300 Savage's. Usually use 5744 but have used...

I use a LEE Factory Crimp Die(FCD) for my Marlin 1894. With the Lee FCD you can crimp a cast bullet where you want, no need for a crimp groove. I have used the Lyman 225415 for boolits in the 218.

I use .323 sized boolits, I have an RCBS 32-170 Flat Nose Gas Check mold. I am currently shooting a 185 grain .323 Flat Nose(FN) Gas Check(GC) from Matts's Bullets. I also have used 200 grain LBT...
