I was given a box of old 160 grain Speer Boat Tails and loaded them up with Magpro. A good group was the result with a zero within 3/4 of an inch of my Bergers. I though the result to be interesting and bought a couple boxes of 165's for a 30-06. I got another group less than an inch using a...

I have been giving Sig time to work the bugs out of the 365 before drinking the Kool Aid. I picked one up just before church tonight and shot about 3 magazines of reloads into a cardboard box after getting home just before dark. The front sight is very easy to pick up in low light. The pistol...

I tried this powder as a low cost .308 powder and if really delivers the goods from my PSA-10. Mid-range loads with 150's and 168's really deliver the goods in this very picky rifle. 1.5 moa is a great day for this gun, and this combo does it. It meters great. Pressure signs show up faster than...

I have spent about a month using the Chargemaster Lite for my rifle reloading. The results have been very satisfactory. When using ball powder, it has yet to miss a throw with about 200 loaded at .308/.270 levels. When loading long extruded powder such as IMR 4064 and 4895 for service rifle and...

I recently picked up a couple pounds of Accurate Magpro to load under Bergers in .243 and 7mm mag. It is a spherical powder, and it meters like water thru both my RCBS and Redding powder measures. The impacts were about the same or slightly higher than with IMR 4350, but Magpro is extremely easy...

Trying to get into some casting for historical style rifles, and am practicing with wheel weight alloy which may never melt at the present rate, or could be zinc contaminated. At this point the idea is to work on technique and procedures for open flame smelting to get some pistol bullets. Better...

Attention Garand Gurus: Please share your Garand pet loads safe for a standard gas plug that have given you great accuracy. I think IMR 4895 has changed since the old NRA data was published, and was wondering how hard I can safely push it. Currently I am running IMR 4064 at 46.7 grains under a 150.

Some of the more obvious defects to look out for. These dangerous flaws can be found in range brass as well as your own used brass. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and there are less obvious variations on these conditions that do not show up well in my amateur photographs. Here is...

One of the best little rounds out there is shunned by many shooters due to the high cost of loaded ammunition. Those of us inclined to roll our own know that this little powerhouse can be shot for the price of .308; after all it is just a modified .308 case necked down and loaded with a .284...

Signed up to go to one and wanted to hear from others. I am planning on using my Marlin model 60.

There has been much discussion of calibers, hunting, and suppression on various forums as of late, as well as will caliber .xxxx do_______. There is one rifle caliber that will cleanly take out a moose, or shoot subsonic gallery loads using the same weight bullets, primers, and cases. All the...

Looking for thoughts on a new micro pistol for summer carry. I like the Keltec for it's size and weight, but it has feeding problems with anything other than round nose. The Kahr trigger was a no-go for me. My Walther shoots like a dream, but weighs more than my truck. With the restoration of...
