JB Bore Paste. Clean 'er right up!

well you certainly don't HAVE to....its not unsafe at all IMO but for reasons mentioned above I do use magnums unless I just couldn't get them. Just about all of my .357 loading is with H110

I really like my Lyman case trim Xpress, I also have a WFT for .223 but I have a hard time running it fast enough on my cordless drill to not leave a burr, so I still have to deburr and chamfer which I also hate. With the motorized Lyman on higher speed it trims clean enough that I can usually...

By backing it out a little bit at a time to achieve just barely enough sizing to chamber freely in the rifle. For instance in a bolt gun, moving the shoulder .002-.003 less than a case fired from that gun is a pretty common thing. In semi-autos it usually should be more like .004-.005 for...

The angle and/or shape of the legs is slightly different to keep the pellet a little bit further away from the anvil, making them less sensitive to a light hit (such as a floating firing pin might make)

I switched to Energizer Ultimate Lithiums in all my flashlights and electronics (GPS, radios) that might sit for a period of time between uses. They never leak, they are lighter weight, hold charge longer, work better in extreme cold and they simply last longer in use. Well worth the $ IMHO

I agree with trying to drop the load a little bit. My T/C with a 1:48 twist shoots great with PRBs @100 yds up to about 80 grains, above that it starts to get squirrely.

UPS changed the ORM-D tag a few years ago. Now it's just the appropriate hazard diamonds.

Mine was an Underwood M1 Carbine, with original sights and mag pouch with 2 mags. It was 2016 in a small town gunshop for $750 and I'd long wanted one, only paused because I'd just earlier written a sizable tuition check for my daughter's first year of college. Came to my senses and went back...

I have not experienced this issue personally and I have three different lowers I swap around often between four different uppers for competition and I always use the data/dope book for the specific upper regardless of which lower I'm using that day. Granted I'm also not shooting for tiny...

.300 Weatherby Mag, because I have it and it has done some world traveling with its previous owner (my old boss who retired and later gifted it to me). If I ever got a chance to hunt for some of those larger species it would be cool to use in his honor. And I know it shoots because I built the...

I've seen service rifle sections in Sierra manuals, in fact I have a PDF section of the pages with service rifle .223 loads.

26.5gr of BL-C(2) has consistently been my most accurate load for 52-55gr bullets, 53gr Sierra Match King with that and a CCI450 is pretty much my benchmark 100 yd load. Multiple barrels and configurations.

CCI Velocitors work pretty well, better than other ammo I tried in .22LR anyway. My buddy and I were recruited to eradicate a very bad rock chuck infestation at his aunt's ranch a few years ago but she did not want us using anything more than .22s due to noise/animals/neighbors . Mini-mag HPs...

Sounds like you won, my friend :) My brother was given a Bryco Nine, but in (incomplete) parts. He gave it to me and I was able to order the couple pieces that were obviously missing, pretty cheaply I might add - but it took me quite a while to get that stupid thing to run right. Finally...
