    270WSM brass, ammo or rebarrel?

    So, given the current status of ammo and brass for the .270 Winchester Short Magnum, (basically non-existent), what are the options for my Model 70 Ultimate Shadow? 1. Cross fingers, keep looking for brass or ammo. (I will NOT pay $5 per round for ammo) 2. Keep begging manufacturers to produce...

    .270 Win bullet for Montana deer

    So I am heading to North Central Montana in a month or so. I have taken a few deer there over the years, mostly with my .270WSM and all with Nosler 130 gr Ballistic Tip bullets. They have worked fine. This year, I am tempted to go with a standard .270 Win shooting Hornady Interlock 130 gr...

    .45 ACP S&B brass Wolf 230 gr FMJ issues?

    So I loaded up 50 rounds of .45 ACP today using S&B brass and Wolf 230 gr FMJ RN bullets. After checking the primer pockets and reading about how tight they are, ( most of them will not accept my Ballistic Tools “Go” gauge) I went ahead and reamed them with a Lyman large primer hand reamer...

    New S&W Model 28?

    My recently purchased revolver. Hope I didn’t overpay. It appears to be unfired since the factory. I have a more used 4” version that I picked up at a gun show in 1998. This one cost me almost 4 times what I paid for that one.

    Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Tactical .45 ACP?

    So, I am considering grabbing a S/A XD Tactical in .45 ACP for what I believe is a great price ($349.99). I presume for that price, it is the basic gun and one 13 round magazine. Any experience out there? My Taurus 1911 has hammer fall and I am not sure what it would cost to get it fixed. Might...

    Reloading a short barrel (20") 22-250

    My son and his buddy just bought Howa Ranchland carbines chambered in 22-250. Anyone done any loading for shorter barreled 22-250's? Powder/bullet suggestions? They are supposed to have 1 in 12" twist barrels, so I am guessing that bullet weights should be in the 40 to 60 gr. weight range...

    Bullet Bargains!

    Just a quick heads up. Wideners.com has Speer .224 gr 55 gr. SP bullets for $69.00 per thousand. Don't recall the last time I saw decent .22 ca!l. jacketed bullets for that price. They also have Speer 9mm 115 gr bonded JHP bullets for $9.25 per box of 100. I thought these were too good to...

    New ammo from Federal and Winchester?

    NOt sure if this is the best place to post this, don't see a category for ammo... I happened to be in my local Walmart tonight and browsed through the very empty ammunition section and noticed some new ammo on the shelf. New Federal Deer Thug in .243, .270 Win, .308 Win, 30-06 and .300 Win Mag...

    Alliant Power Pro 1200-R

    Anyone have any experience with Alliant's new double base spherical Power Pro 1200-R? It is supposed to be similar in burning rate to their Reloder 10x. Since most of the usual suspects for loading .223 ammo have disappeared, I went ahead and ordered a pair of 8 lb kegs of it. At least it is...
