Guess I've tried full and neck sizing and everything in between and maybe I've just been lucky in getting accuracy. I can't tell any difference in accuracy either way. You may get a few more shots...

It's doubtful you'll ever need to defend yourself against either a coyote or a cougar as both are pretty scared of people. If you do shoot either of them with a bullet like you're talking about...
All good thoughts, Lloyd. One problem with the 60 gr. loads in a .223 is that not all .223's will stabilize them. In fact, few with the twist in sporters will. I've got an older friend who has...
I must second Versifiers opinion on this one. I've been hunting for just over 52 years now. I'm retired from U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. And I quit counting deer killed, either in the line of...
Thanks for the info. Sounds like it'd last a long time at that rate.
How many rounds do you think you can load with that 500cc container of Pufflon?
Yup, my locker is starting to bulge at the seams with a variety of H&R's, Buffalo Classics, and Contenders. Are they an addiction? Me thinks maybe!
A Timney from Midway will make your Howie sing a sweet tune and they're good triggers that are more economical than a Canjar.
Many years ago I believe I read somewhere in P.O. Ackley's writings that he'd run a test on this subject and if I remember correctly he found the Arisika to be the strongest. But this is all a moot...
The using of fillers is a huge controversy with many heated opinions on both sides. Pufflon is a product you can buy and use as a filler. From what I've read it seems like good stuff but is very...
Jammer Six... I hope you were kidding when you said shiny brass shot better. That' definately not true. It just looks better. I've been reloading for 39 years and have finally come to think that...
I'll try to get this right for you. You may ship a rifle for repair to someone with a FFL through the P.O. or shippers like UPS as long as you declare you are shipping a firearm. If it's your arm...
I'd be really surprised if your Howie doesn't shoot well. I've seen a bunch of them shot and all were good. I have a .223 and it's absolutely amazing. Their lock time is a bit slow but if you hold...
Never shot a .480 rifle before. Did try one in a Ruger Super Redhawk and loved it. I think it'll kill anything if'n you put one in the right spot. I have a .44 mag rifle and it doesn't kick bad,...
Just a quick suggestion, corporal. Powder burning rate was mentioned I believe. I think Hodgdon H335 and Accurate Arms 2230 were designed specifically for the "black gun"... military 5.56's. I've...
Stangrips... I guess you'll have to use black powder or one of those substitutes if you want the smoke and all that goes with it. Personally, I hate anything other than good old smokeless powder. I...
Dealing with most of the big gun makers, and even some of the small ones, can be problematic. It's not just Winchester. I've had problems with Winchester, Remington, and Ruger. Shoddy workmanship...
Wish I'd not read this post. My conscience got to bothering me because it's been a while since I cleaned up my selection of reloading dies. So I got them out and started cleaning. Didn't have any...
Depends on where you live, how much humidity is in your house, etc. Where I live it's so dry I really don't get too concerned about rust. Any kind of oil will work. As for the ram on my press... I...
I've heard that some nail polish remover has other ingredients in it so you might want to check that out and see what they are. Some things we don't want in our bores. Acetone isn't expensive. A...
Yeah, Happy Birthday! Sometimes we get apprehensive about the count but, hey, it's better than the alternative. As you can see by one of my recent posts, b...days can be real good. Hope you have...
Got some bad news, fellas. That Marlin is on it's way back to the factory. It had rust in the bbl. and TERRIBLE fouling. I think it'll take a new bbl. to fix it. I'm about to find out what kind...
In my own home experimenting I've found Barnes to be slightly faster and stronger than Sweet's. Better yet is the new one... Montana Extreme 50 BMG solvent. It's really smelly but very fast. All...
BS jr.--- tell us about the ATV crash. Did you try running over a moose instead of shooting him? I could have told you that wouldn't work. Folks are always trying that with cars and it seldom...
I didn't know where else to put this, so will put it here for all the world to see.
My birthday was on Jan. 26th. I was 59 yrs. young. And the Webmaster sent me a nice "Happy Birthday" notice. ...
