Just checking to see what you guys are getting for velocity in 158 XTP handloads since the Hornady book's velocities were done with an 8" barrel. It says 1200 FPS with and 8" barrel is max with 14.3 grains of 2400. With 13.5 grains of 2400 my 4" S&W 686 averages1175 FPS. Some went over the...

So I recently received a boat load of 30-06 ammo and some empty brass from a buddy. He said it's stuff that didn't shoot well in his rifle. And wanted to know if I could use it to make some custom stuff for him. When I got home to sort through it, a bunch of it is mixed up in different boxes...

Does anybody out there have info on using Reloader 17 w/ a 300 savage? I'll be using 165 partitions. QuickLoad tells me w/ my 24" barrel I'll run out of case capacity right before before I reach max pressure. Id like to get at least one piece of published info to compare w/ my QuickLoad info...

So Ive got a 25-06 that shoots factory loaded 115 Partitions from Federal into EXCELLENT groups. Federal's website says they're coming out at 3030fps, but I've not checked that with my chronograph. So I went and bought some of the 115 Partitions. QuickLoad tells me I can safely take them over...

So I've got the itch for a rifle again, and looking to see what you guys have for opinions to get more ideas in my head. The last few years I've hunted black bear in Pennsylvania where a handful get brought in well over 600lbs. I currently hunt with a 7mm Rem Mag, and think it's plenty...

Gotta love it when you find published data that makes you scratch your head. In looking for a good hunting bullet to bring out the best of my 25-06 I read several praises for the 115 Nosler Partition. After buying 4 boxes of them I looked into my Nosler #6 manual and noted with all Nosler115...

I'm reading good things about Reloader 17 when used in the 25-06. Specifically, I wanted to load it with 115 Nosler Partitions which I have a nice stack of. I'm having a hard time finding specific load data for 115 or 117 projectiles and that powder. Can anyone point me to literature, or have...

Last summer I picked up a Super Redhawk in 480 Ruger. Love the cartridge, and went out and found one of the elusive Rossi 92 Lever actions in 480 Ruger. With my interest in the 480, ive started to cast my own bullets. Figuring the Rossi was the one harder to come by I made cast bullets to fit...

Anybody loading these up with Reloader 19, H335, or H332 ?? Care to share charge weights? I just bought some of those 75gr v-max's after reading nothing but good things about them. However when I got home none of my five reloading manuals listed a charge for that bullet weight with the powders...

So I just got Ruger All-Weather Hawkeye in 25-06 and began trying different factory ammo. All shot on the same plane vertically, but this is how the groups went: ...................................Group............ Position 100gr Rem Core-Lokt....... 1.25"............. .5" Left of Center 120gr...

Care to guess what type of factory ammo this is in 25-06? I got it in a trade with the rifle. The guy said he wasn't sure what it was. But he wasn't a handloader. Bullet weighs 100 grains, looks to me like a Sierra Gameking. Brass is Winchester Super, but I can't google up anything that...

Anybody have some on game experiences with the 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh they'd like to share? I bought a SRH in 480 this year and I'm itching to get out and see what it'll do on white tail and black bear.

Picked up a used Mossberg 500 on the cheap to turn it into a home defense gun with the 18.5" cylinder bore I just bought the other day. The barrel that came with my used Mossberg is a 30" full choke. I was thinking about doing some goose/duck hunting this year and googled to see what would be...

I ordered a DPMS oracle upper, and tried to put this on for a rear sight. It won't fit. Did I miss something?? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2319289991/magpul-mbus-gen-2-flip-up-rear-sight-ar-15-polymer

Pretty self explanitory. Any body seen any good deals on basic AR15 lowers complete or stripped lately?

I've read the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition and still have a question about leading. I just loaded up and fired 12 rounds in my 41Mag Blackhawk and accuracy was great. How many rounds do you fire before you clean the bore to check for leading? Do you just shoot until accuracy falls...

I'm getting ready to pickup a S&W 686-4 w/ 6" barrel on a trade that has a scope on it but the rear sight assembly has been lost. I'm looking on Midway and finding these: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/927725?cm_vc=S014 Is the .146 the width of the notch? And does barrel length matter...

Has anyone else filled out Ruger's customer suggestion questionaire requesting info on products you'd like to see them come out with? If so what did you suggest? I recommended a pump shotgun to match the SR line, a re-make of their lever action to include 41mag for the 41 fans that don't have...

I just finished a ladder test in my 7RM and found what I think is a pretty good node. Problem is I've only got enough powder left in this can to make about a dozen more rounds. When I get a new can is all my previous work pretty much worthless? Or will a different lot of powder just need to be...

Anyone know what the value is on a Savage 94d in 22mag over 20g ? The answers I'm find elsewhere on the web are pretty varried. Owner is asking $425 for exellent condition.
