I live and play up in the Western Oregon Coast Range, only been here since 2001 so whatever that is worth; Just a report, not a complaint. I noticed a late hatch with the grouse this year. It is already mid-September and this years hatch are only a little bigger than the quail. The Hens...

Anyone care to share their pet load for a 45-70? I have the dies ordered and 85 starline brass (fired once) all polished and ready to go. This is my Elk and bear rifle that I carry in the timber hellholes 0-75 yards, maybe 80 yards top range; open sights on a Marlin 1895G. Thanks in...

I was out on the ATV scrounging brass and testing a pet X39 load yesterday; I stopped to draw a hunting map for a guy who recently moved to this area. He showed me a picture of a 7X7 Roosevelt Bull this other guy arrowed, and gave me this description; First day, first light, one cow call...

Of all the weapons you have ever owned, handled or molested; which was the most intricate or difficult to disassemble/assemble? I'll throw mine out there; my Ruger MKIII 22.45, Target version. Man, that thing...I'm getting the book out every time.

Colt 45: 10 Gr of HS6, CCI Magnum primers, 250 Gr RNFP from Bullets Direct... Leaving stubborn streaks and deposits on the inside of the barrel, closer to the cylinder, is this call "Leading"? Is there a load combo that would reduce this (other than jacketed bullets)? New/stiff nylon...

Well, I've now loaded just over a thousand cartridges (.45Colt & 9MM) on my Lee Turret and I love it. The entire experience has been wonderful and very rewarding. My initial buy of reloading equipment is almost complete, My next die set will be .45 ACP, then my first rifle load will be .45-70...

When a "Yugo" 7.62X39 brass case is listed as "non-reloadable" Do they usually state that because of the primer pocket mil-crimp? I know there could be a number of obvious reasons like dented, cracked etc. Do they really mean to state that it is reloadable if the crimp is removed?

Anyone ever successfully reload a berdian primed brass case by turning it into a boxer primed brass case in 7.62X39? Is is just a matter of removing the primer crimps and reload as usual? If so, is there any reference material you can point me to? Thanks

I was going along pretty good today loading some .45 Colt on my new Lee Deluxe Turret; I wasn't keeping an eye on the powder drop, the .71 disk didn't re-set when I lowered the handle on 6 cartriges. :what: Now I have 6 primed cartriges with bullets and no powder in them...

I got er done today for my .45LC. Everything went real smooth. The powder calc seemed too light with the .46 disk as I wanted a ballpark of 9 grains so I used a .61 disk, it weighed in at 8.6 grains. Good enough. I test fired six rounds at 25 feet; they fired clean and sunk very deep into...

Me being the rookie reloader that I am; I bought a turret press and I'm going through the learning processes and having a blast. I've been tumblng old .45 Colt brass, trimming, depriming and getting ready to....you know, "do it". This thought occurred to me; I hope this makes sense...

Back ground: My Colt Cowboy is my ranch tool, I wear it cross-draw for unexpected surprises like bear, wild dogs, cougar or "redistributors". I also wear it "strong-side" during elk season (on dry days). All shots between 0-25 yards. I want to practice with lead and conduct business with a...

I'm 50; I've been "unloading" bullets into all kinds of targets since I was 9. I decided to reload after the 2008 change in our national situation, OK I am hoarding.......:neener: I've been reading and looking all over for information on the skill; I really mean all over the place...
