    I cut the bottom off of a plastic milk jug and turn it into a funnel with a handle.

    .431 240 SWC

    Brazos Bullets has been my source for my favorite 44 Mag bullet, the 240 SWC sized to .431. I'm not sure what is going on with Brazos right now, maybe someone could comment on that, but most all their bullets are listed as "not for sale" on their website. I'm ready for some more bullets but I'm...

    Help with Powder/caliber. new to bottleneck. multiple cartridges

    No reason to buy TAC when you have 16 pounds of a superior powder! Varget and the 69 RMR will be a great combo!

    Seekins, Browning or Bergara?

    I'm ready to get into a 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm an older guy and I was with the rest of the skeptics on this cartridge, but I realize its popularity is NOT just because of good marketing. It's a really solid hunting and long-range cartridge. I'd like some input on rifles. I've narrowed it down to...

    What reloading components have you overbought?

    I'm in that boat with you. I bought a ton of .223 bullets and H335 because I used to shoot my 5.56 AR's a ton, then I went and bought a 6.5 Grendel upper and now that is what I shoot by far the most. I wish I could get the accuracy I want with the H335 in the Grendel, but I can't. Believe me...

    Trying to decide on only one bullet for 357

    If it wasn't for the price I would shoot nothing but 158 XTP's. I actually shoot mostly Brazos 158 coated SWC with No. 9 This is in my old Security Six 4".

    N133 in the Grendel?

    So I quickly look at these on Powder Valley. Both are available in 8#'s. N133 is $293.99 and AA 2015 is $402.99! Wow! I would have expected those to be reversed! It seems Alliant, Hodgdon and Accurate all went way up and VV stayed about the same as before. Strange to see.

    N133 in the Grendel?

    I'm looking for a new powder in the 6.5 Grendel. I have a ton of 120 ELD Match bullets that I want to get better accuracy from. I've tried Benchmark, TAC and H335 and all are OK, but I want to keep searching for something better. N133 looks like it's worth trying and it's available. IMR 8208...

    BE-86

    I too, love the stuff in 9mm. I bought, and still have a ton of the old RMR 124 "multi purpose" hollow points. They are very good bullets, but don't expand reliably, but BE-86 will push them fast and accurately. Also, after being ready to give up, I finally found some good loads with BE-86 in...

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    This was my thoughts, until I noticed my groups open up after about 8 to 10 loadings, (my best guess) on my brass. I loaded the new brass and groups were awesome. I started to pay better attention while seating bullets and it's easy to tell the neck tension on the old brass is not as tight...

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    Ok, this really sounds like what would work best for me. Could you please post a picture of your brass with the markings? Thanks for the amazon link as well.

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    I need to do a better job keeping track of the number of loads on my brass. I really wish there was a way to mark the brass that wouldn't be removed during tumbling. I didn't realize until I started shooting a ton of 6.5 Grendel, that this is important so I can keep my rounds as accurate as...

    Bipod Mount Location

    I've always shot off a Lead sled when shooting groups and testing loads. I'm planning on getting a Magpul Bipod for my Grendel AR. I've watched a couple of videos on mounting an M-Lok bipod. First Question: Why did one guy mount his bipod about midway down the hand guard? Seems to me the...

    Does Heavily Used Brass Degrade Accuracy?

    So, if I was start annealing my Grendel cases, are the ones with 10 plus loadings on them worth annealing at this point? Or are they beyond their useful life? Also when should I anneal? Should I anneal the brand new cases before ever loading them? One more question...If I anneal used cases, do...
