Lee classic cast I know you said no Lee, but anyhow, look into the Lee Classic Cast press. You can get a refurbished one directly from Lee pretty cheap, and the spent primer recovery is AWESOME! They fall into a plastic tube underneath, and you NEVER have one on the floor. (You do have to have...

Ch4d You absolutely ROCK! I called them, and three minutes later I've got a new seater stem on the way. Thanks loads!

Hello, I'm having a problem seating Zero JHP bullets without damaging the soft nose. My dies are Lyman All-American (38/357) with seating screw #429. When I called Lyman, I was initially told that they would send me the correct seating screw for soft nose bullets (#93L?), but after six weeks...

Help! My hunting and fishing buddy's son and his friend were both killed in a car crash in November along the north shore of lake superior. His youth model Remington 700 (.308) was in a plastic hard case and flew out. The case broke open and the separately stored bolt was lost. I told him I'd...

Thanks! I surely wouldn't use the 165 gr TTSX for practice at $.80 each! I will switch to some lighter bullets for practice. All the shots we ever get are in the woods at less than 40 yards, so they need to learn to hit at that distance. I also will make them both do some shooting when they...

.308 manageable recoil load? I have two trainees to prepare for next fall's first deer hunt. First is my 12 year old grandson who'll be in the stand with me, and the other is the 17 year old daughter of my hunting partner. Neither has much experience with high power rifles. (both, of course...

yep, Acid to Water, Just Like you Otter!

When you look at the crimping groove in the 158 gr SWC, it looks pretty shallow, but when you put the crimp on and look with a magnifying glass, the crimp seats really well. Plus Xtremes seem to be somewhat cheaper than other plated bullets. I've loaded several boxes with 7.2 gr Unique. Seem...

Check out Xtreme bullets. Their plated bullets have a crimping groove, and seem very reasonable.

Hello, I'm working up a load using Xtreme 158 gr plated SWC and 7.2 grains of Unique for my GP-100 6". Got the start from Handloads.com, but that exact one wasn't listed. Seemed to shoot just fine. Noticeably less recoil than factory loads. I would like to begin to correlate the recoil to...

Hello, I just got 500 Extreme 158 gr plated SWC to load using Unique for my GP-100 6" (.357 M). (1) the crimp groove isn't very deep - how much should I crimp? (2) anybody got a pet load for this combination?

Hello, I purchased 500 125 gr Suter's "hard cast" RNFP from Sheels, but I can't find any info on how hard they actually are. I want to load them using Bullseye, and I would like to know how fast I should push them in my GP 100 6" to minimize leading.

Hello, I'm far from expert. I have the same GP-100 6", and I bought a "Hi-Viz" front sight from Amazon. Absolutely amazing how simple it is to install, and you can select from several colors for the front bead. I had an awful time discerning the Ruger front sight blade, but now with the...

Just wondering..With all the available calibers, why do the military snipers use .308? They train and operate at ranges far greater than one would consider 'normal' hunting ranges, but other than the .50 BMG, the caliber of choice is the .308.

Ruger 77 MkII SS - Barnes TTSX bullets! Of course, bullet placement is EVERYTHING, but from my experience, the Barnes TTSX bullets widen the 'sweet spot' more than a little. This year's 7-pointer went 1/2 step (!), and the 168 gr bullet never emerged from the other side, so there wouldn't have...

Okay, here are a couple more. Our internet connection isn't all that great out here in the sticks, so I'm hoping they upload.

I picked up a couple road-killed deer (you need a possession permit from the MN DNR to do that) and put them out in our field ~150' from the dining room window with a Spypoint IR-6 attached to a nearby post. Within half a day, two eagles had found them, and I've got virtually hundreds of pix of...

I started with a post-64 Model 70 (30-06) in 1967, reloading for it with a $10.95 Lee Loader. I shot many deer, one moose, and one caribou with it. I switched to a Ruger M77 MkII in 308 four years ago. I like the shorter action, and recoil seems less. I load Barnes TTSX 168 grain over 42...

Thanks - I can't seem to find a website for Suter's Choice bullets, and after reading what Missouri Bullet had to say about hardness, velocity, and leading, I wondered what the hardness of S C bullets is. I'll try a few with 231, shoot them through my really old Model "F" Chrony and see what...

I have a box of Suter's Choice Hard Cast .358 bullets, and I'd like some suggestions for loading them in .38 special. I have 231, Bullseye and Unique powders. Has anybody tried these?
