Suggest you get a copy of Lee's 2nd Reloading manual. It has some good data if you are looking for rifle that can be used for comparisons to jacketed data.

There is a lot of joy out of wringing out loads for a single shot. Have 3 #l Rugers, and one #3. In addition have a Sav. Bolt single. Have hornet, k-hornet, 22-250, 375 H&H, and 45-70, and all are...
I shoot a #1 Ruger in 45-70, and it seems to digest every thing I put thru it quite well from collar buttons and round ball(s) thru the big 500 plus lobbers. I shoot mostly 2400, but for strictly...
Just food for thought, but location of a "truck gun" is a big factor, depending on where you are. If it is a behind the seat and takes 3-4 min to get out, it might be sufficient. If it is in a rack...
My oldest is a CH C that is over 40 years old. If I had room on my bench would probably have a couple of old Herters. Had an early Hollywood that I traded off a number of years ago. Also have an...
Wonder why no threads on this subject in a month? Don't know about others, but I have a thing about #1 Rugers. Have #1's in 375H&H, 45-70, and 22-250, and would love to find one in 7x57 that I...
Like Airborne, I have been fortunate enough live in and hunt a number of states, and found something to shoot in all of them. Have also been fortunate enough to hunt Africa (Numibia), and Tiawan. ...
I have never trimmed a 38S,357, 44S, or 44Mag. However I check my 444's and 45-70's very closely, and trim to recommended minimums.

It is supply and demand pure and simple. That said, like gas, when things do calm down and supply exceeds demand, I expect price to go down, but now down to where it was befor the Obama factor crept...
Now if only the Dog had time to work on HP for some of his molds. Know he is considering the 457. Would sure like an HP in 429, and 359. Maybe in time!

Agree w/Chris 112, took my 77 Rug in 7x57 to Africa, took 10 heads with it out to over 400 yds. That said, I hunt deer in central Ne. and shots can be to infinity (or so it seems) Little to no...
Versifier, Shot 20 of them yesterday in my K-31 7.5x55 sized .310 over 20 gr. of 2400. Seated into the lands, and they are a bit deep, but not a bad looking load.
Shot into under 2" at 100....
Colt 357! Old 4" BBl, handy and reliable!

Agree with D O K on neck sizing 303. Saves a lot of grief!

Bullshop Jr. I loaded 06 for my hunting companion when we hunted Kodiak out of Port Hyden. He shot a Mod 70 Win, and I loaded 200 grain Speer with IMR 4350, with what was a max load listed in the...
Bama, Try 20-22 gr of 2400 behind that blt with either Lee Mule snot or LARS red.
Mine shoots best at 20.5 out of a fairly new Stevens 308. I size to .310.

Big Bore!
Ain't it the truth!

My #1 Ruger 45-70 likes a 385 or 405 gr. plain base cast med hard, about 15 or so BH, over 22 gr. of 2400. I agree with whoever said shoot 5 shot groups to tell you what the load is capable of. I...
Can't remember the last time I fired a center fire factory rifle or hand gun load. Shoot a lot of cast, and truely enjoy reloading. There is a great deal of satisfaction out of loading and...
Only two kind of snakes I don't like: Dead ones and Live ones! Snappers make good eating, and fairly small ones 5-6" shell make good pouches for buckskinners and Iroquois Rattles. I like shot...
243 works great for p-dogs, only problem with it is that due to recoil you seldom see the kill in the scope like you do with smaller cals like hornet,bee,222,223,etc.
Part of the fun of shooting...
The last two boo I took was about 15 mile out of Port Hyden, back in the 70's. Love boo sausage. Took them with 375H&H as I was hunting bear. 223 should be fine and so would the Swiss. Good luck...
I was lucky enough to get a limited edition Rem 700 in 300 Sav. like new. Went to my Grandaughter. Shot her first deer at 11 and first turkey (10 inch beard) at 12. It is a shame that she had to...
This has to be a farce in my less than humble opinion. Even if you could compress spice into small pellets, they would have very little weight. Might work in theory if the range was but a few...
Have gone to lee collet neck sizing dies for most of my non milsurp rifles, and have no complaints. Saves time, saves lube process, and it just plain works.
For years I just neck sized if you wish...
