    What five said. Be aware that a little goes a long way and you need to measure carefully! With typical rifle powders and amounts half a grain doesn't mean a lot. With Bullseye half a grain too...

    For thin skinned animals like deer all you need is a cup and core bullet. Serria, Speer, Remington, Winchester, etc. all make them. If I'm going to take a chance on a bear I'd look at better...

    223 wssm

    A friend has asked me to load for his 223 WSSM. I do have my FFL 06 and know the law. I have no experience loading any .22 caliber, much less a WSSM. He's shooting it out of a Browning A-Bolt, and...

    9mm brass primer pockets

    I got a bunch of 9mm brass to cut down to 9x18Mak. This is the first time I've fooled with the 9mm brass. I have a couple of S&B cases with very tight primer pockets. So tight that I can't revolve...

    Daniel, where you are I would want something that would put down anything that I need to. I don't think I would want a single shot, either. Your 'truck gun' is, by definition, not your hunting...

    You also have to be very aware of the action you are using. If it's 98 Mauser that's one thing. A Turk Mauser like I have based on the '95 is another, a weaker action. Most of these are...

    Go over to the Castboolits site. Several of the guys over there are shooting the 9.3 in various lengths. If you don't want to cast go to the bottom of the page over there and click on the Bullshop...

    It would help if you told us the caliber you are loading. I do believe that bullet was designed for the 8mm Mag and is overly strong for lesser cartridges, unless you want to shoot a solid!

    Chileano Mauser

    Thought I start this off with my Chileano Mauser 7x57 original. Always wanted a 7 Mauser, so I bought it even though it had been slightly bubbaed - stock redo. This gave me the opening to do a real...

    8mmx06 loads

    Buckshot, others

    I'm guessing that dropping the 30-06 data a touch is slightly better than increasing the 8x57 data, correct? Or should I go with the 8x57 data, since the bullets are heavier than...

    stick it in a bag and run it through the washing machine after each use. Then no worry about what you carry from one use to the next.

    I have but one piece of advice given the complexity of what you're trying. Take it one or two rifles/calibers at a time and keep good records. You are gonna need the records to know what...

    Frankly, at least in the East, there's nothing that can't be killed with the 30-30, cast bullet @ 1500 or so. That's mostly true in the West, but more range is desired. (Remember, everything there...
