    .35 Remington handloads are keyholing

    I bought a Marlin 336 .35 Remington a couple of years ago to "match" my Marlin 39A and 39M that are family heirlooms. Iowa has recently allowed the .35 to be used for deer (we were slugs only), so I'm looking for a load. It shot pistol bullets reasonably well, but I finally stumbled upon some...

    Hornady FTX 160 grain bullets in a Garand

    My son bought some Hornady FTX 160 gr bullets by mistake for his .308. He's pretty new to reloading and this is his first centerfire rifle. He opened them up to look so returning them is not an option. I've got a couple of Garands that I load 168 gr A Max's with IMR 4064. Is there any reason...

    Sighting in a .308

    My son brought home his latest acquisition. A used Winchester Model 70 Stealth II with a Harris bipod and a BSA Stealth Tactical scope. He tried sighting it in and wasn't having much luck before he got cold. It's about 20 degrees here in Iowa. Actually much warmer than it has been! He left...

    Eotech on a Redhawk

    Has anybody ever put an Eotech on a Redhawk? I'd like to try a red dot sight on my .44 Redhawk and was thinking that if I didn't like it I could move it to one of my AR's. Just wondering if an Eotech would be too big and if it would hold up to the recoil of the .44 Magnum.

    How wet to run a 1911 in cold weather

    How much lube do I need to run a Kimber Custom Carry II when the weather is cold? I've run several hundred rounds through it with very few FTE, usually on the last round in a mag. Today I shot about fifty rounds and had several FTE. It was certainly due for a good cleaning since it's been...

    .223 question

    I just started reloading .223. I've loaded .220 Swift, .243, 22-250, and .45ACP for quite a few years. I've used primarily ball powders that meter quite well. I started loading .223 yesterday. I don't even have the rifle yet. I'm loading 26.5 grains of Varget behind a 50 grain V-Max. This...

    Leading question

    I just got done cleaning my Kimber after shooting my first .45 reloads through it. I'm loading Missouri Bullet's 230 grain softballs with 4.1 grains of WST. I loaded five up and everything cycled well so I loaded up another fifty and went to the range this weekend. Had a lot of fun...

    Newbie questions about loading .45 ACP

    I've been loading rifle cartridges for twenty+ years on a single stage RCBS press. I've also reloaded shotshells for even more years. I'm recently bought a Kimber 1911 and want to start reloading .45 ACP for it. I'm looking around at powder choices and realise Unique and Bullseye are quite...

    Primer question loading for .220 Swift

    Hi guys! New to the forum here. Have been reading for a couple of weeks and decided to jump on board with some questions. I load primarily for rifles at the moment. .220 Swift, .243 Winchester and 22-250. I don't shoot as much as I would like, but am trying to find more time to do it. I've...
