Hey Folks, Gonna dust off my old CVA .50 cal Mountain Stalker to take advantage of the WI muzzleloader deer season this year. While going through all my BP stuff I came across an unopened box of Buffalo Bore .50 cal Ball-ets. 245 grain, round nose conicals. Never tried them and am wondering if...

Hey Folks, Sorting through some components I was fortunate enough to receive from a friend and found a couple 1 lbs bottles of Herco (In tote with two MEC shotgun presses). Can't find any non-shotgun data for this powder in my manuals. The relative burn rate seems to be in the same ballpark as...

Friend (non-shooter) of mine was kind enough to think of me when clearing out a storage unit. He's a class act and didn't want anything for it, so I gave him some fine scotch and 112 proof bourbon. Gotta go through it, but looks like a RCBS Pro 2000, and 2 different MEC shotshell loaders 12&20...

Hey folks, Have used, hunted with, the economical Bushnell TRS-25 on my 303 Brit, 7.5 Swiss and 12 gauge turkey gun without issue. Figured I'd try one on my 4" 629. Well, worked well with midrange loads, but I managed to shoot it apart while sighting it I with some deer loads. Any...

Hey Folks, Going through my gear for the upcoming winter deer season and realized my socks are all like 15-20 years old...I know crazy lol. Most are wool and worked well when I did mostly still/stalking hunts, kept my feet warm even if they got wet, were comfortable and warm cause I was moving...

Hey folks, Getting ready to load up some 30 Remington deer loads for my brother's old Remington Model 8. (Very cool rifle by the way!) Anyway, he provided a bunch of sized/primed brass so I'll be loading with some 3031 and 150gr RN Interlocks using a RCBS seating/crimping die. Question. Do I...

Hey Folks, Hope everyone is well. Figured I'd use the time I have doing the social distancing stuff to clean, organize and work on projects around the house. Finished the garage, shed, workshop, pantry, gun room...so hit the reloading bench to organize and inventory. Came across these old CCI...

Hey folks, Been taking advantage of the social distancing stuff to clean, organize and repair stuff around the house that I'd been putting off. After finishing the garage, shed and tuning up all my chainsaws, tuning and sharpening the mower, cutting the grass for the 1st time this year, I...

Hey Folks, Wondering if anyone has any experience loading ultralite, light weight bullet, rounds for 44 mag and/or special? I have some really nice mild pet loads for my 200 gr RNFP and 208 gr WC using 4.3-5 grains Red Dot & Bullseye. But would like something even lighter for the 162 gr WC's...

Hey Folks, Been working on a new to me K31 project this year and experienced misfires when I took it out to sight in for deer season. My first experience with K31, so the action is not one I'm real familiar with. The misfire scenario is weird with no consistent pattern to it. Load the...

Hey folks, My brother gave me an old Remington 7400 awhile back. He got it as part of a trade years ago but didn't take it apart, clean (other than a few patches through the bore) or use it other than a trip or two to the range. His recollection is that it shot well...I recall shooting it but...

Hey Folks, Preparing you start reloading for my new 30-06 7400. Tumbling a bunch of old mixed brass I received last year with a bunch of other stuff. (Glad I held onto it!). Using my standard walnut shell media with a bit of Flitz, which historically gets even the grubiest brass sparkling...

Hey Folks, I was recently given a really nice 7400 in 30-06. Getting ready to buy a set of dies (old Lee 4 hole) and have a few questions before I make my choice. Up until this point, all my rifle loads have been worked up for bolt action milsurp rifles, 303 Brit, 7.5x55 Swiss, 7.7 Jap etc...

Hey Folks, Helping a non-shooting buddy get rid of some gun related items due to his FIL having some age related, mental degeneration issues. He has a fair amount of 300WSM and 300 Holland & Holland magnum stuff. Not knowing anyone that owns/shoot these rounds, I am wondering what would be...

Got about 7" inches of snow here. Snowblowed my drive and walkway as well as the neighbors. Not much else to do, so I figured it'd be a good day to load up some food for my Bulldog. woof

Hey folks, I got these in a bulk house clearing. Laser sighting tool of some type? The owner was a reloader and appears to be a 45 long colt and 30-06 shooter...if that helps. A quick Google search came up empty. Thanks

Hey Folks, Deer season starts in 5 hours. Like every previous season, last night I checked my gear for the umpteenth time, hit the hay early to try to get a good night's rest. Got a few hours rest, woke up to pee, and now wide awake LOL! Man them gears in my head won't stop spinning. Too much...

Hey folks, Kind of a weird question, but what the heck. Getting all my gear laid out for deer season. While doing it I realized that the new holster and belt rig for my 4" 629 smells like, well like new leather lol! So I'm wondering, do I worry about it? Can I spray scent blocker on it...

Hey Folks, Looking for published 7.5 x 55 Swiss load data using IMR 3031 and/or IMR 4895, and 168gr SPBT. Neither of my manuals show anything for those powders. Hoping someone has some data in their manuals that could be shared with me as I have lots of both powders. Thanks in advance. Be well all

Hey folks, Gonna start loading for a K31 project I recently acquired. Got brass, bullets etc. Need to order a set of dies. Leaning toward the collet sizing die set. I use one for all my 303 Brit needs with great results and long case life. Any reason to get a full length die for the 7.5 Swiss...
