Wow thanks a bunch all, great information. We'll definitely am leaning towards the little Howa in 6.5. I'm limited to Barnes pretty here and have had some great success with those in my 260. Forget the weight but remember ttsx. Thanks again all I really appreciate all the input

Good afternoon. I will be going on a pig hunt here pretty soon and can't make up my mind on which rifle to bring. I have an AR Performance 6.8 or a Howa mini action 6.5 Grendel. Everything I've searched pretty came back to their the same out to 3 to 400 yds then the grendel takes over. I'm...

Hey guys sorry if I get off topic. I have just recently bought some MBC coated 200gr 45's. Thing is I have well over a thou of various other non coated bullets. I was thinking of maybe just coating what I have. Is that feesable? When you cast your own bullets are they sized after coating? If so...

I've never really thought much about it. I have always used PP in pistols and RP in rifle. That's how most load data is written but I don't see an issue swapping as long as you maybe back off a tad. I bought a box of Remington SRP and was told not to use them in 223. The guy at the store said...

I'm getting ready to load up some rounds to break in my Vanguard. I purchased some Barnes 225 TTSX rounds. The only data I found using this Bullet is shows a range of 63 to 71 of H4831sc. I believe I have some H4350 but the data on Barnes shows IMR4350. Anyway I was thinking of starting out at...

For sure get the Classic. It works well but needs a little finesse. Make sure you get extra ratchet nuts for it. Its a little plastic nut that indexes the press, super cheap and nice to have a few extra. You can also take the nut out and run it like a single stage. I bought extra tool heads and...

My buddy can't find Barnes ammo anywhere. I figured he could buy some 140gr 270wsm ammo and I could pull the bullets and substitute a Barnes 140tsx. Has anyone had luck with this? I can measure each bullet to seat at the same case depth, ogive, or OAL. I'm sure if it takes up the same case space...

Sounds about right to me. You'll love it, one of my favorites.

I like shooting my 44 eagle but hate that I have to use expensive jacketed bullets. Has anyone ever pushed coated bullets in the power range to still cycle the action without issue?

I have just purchased a Weatherby Vanguard 338. I plan on using this for big game, Elk or Bear. I have ordered the rifle, brass and dies. Can anyone share some insight on bullet choice or powder. I have been reloading for several calibers for about 10 years or so. Most my shooting has been on...

A good friend of mine at work is looking for a upper for plinking and just general fun range use. The upper in question is an A3 carbine 16" complete with BCG and charge handle. The price is right around $500. The ammo is cheap and that's the reason for this caliber as he doesn't reload. What...

the Hornady LNL head space gauge with 5 bushing set and bullet comparator and insert set along with a good set of calipers is a must. The gauges can be other than Hornady but I recommend those for the price point. Get a bullet puller, we all make mistakes. I have a RCBS one that works great and...

My other friend bought some Barnes factory loads and complained about the terrible accuracy. He contacted Barnes and was told the solid copper slugs like to be seated close to the lands. This is why I love handloading, being able to customize ammo for my rifle. If this is the case store bought...

That's great shooting, being able to pick which ventrical of the heart at that range is way more than good enough for pigs and deer. Good job and thanks for the quick response
