Last year I did a load work up for my hunting rifle ,a 3006 vanguard s2. In October at 70° I sat down with imr4350 starting at 53 - 57 gr using Nosler brass, CCI RL and 165 gr BTs. I had several nodes , so I decided to go with a 56 gr charge. When the temps got down in th 40s the groups...

The 9 mm ftx critical defense cases are nickel plated, can these Be reloaded ? Thanks, LTH

I bought some starline 9 mm brass and some factory win. Target ammo to reload using that brass . Is it ok to mix these two headstamps ?

I just bought the PT 111 G2 Taurus , first time handgun owner. It shoots nicely. The 3 die set comes with 2 seater plugs , their cut to different depths where it touches the bullet when seating , but fmj and self defense 115 gr bullets really don't fit snug ( they teeter ) is this normal ...

Target pics of my first run at hand loading. The hand loads are for deer hunting. Which one should I choose ?

This gun control thing , is it just more control , making it harder to buy a firearm ? Are they trying to take away all firearms ? Does this mean no more hunting if they get their way ? Thanks , LTH

At 200 yards , what velocity should I be looking for to have a through and through shot on a Whitetail ? I might buy a chronograph waaay on down the road but for now I'll have to wing it. For 3006 , in the 150 or 165 gr. , I'm gonna go for accuracy not necessarily for speed. Nosler...

I have several factory rounds of 3006. The majority of them has ball powder and only one that's extruded and that's the fusion line . Barnes , Hornady , Remington, and power shok all have ball powder. Barnes and federal have primers that look like CC I primers ( having the yellow stuff...

Last week I trued up the necks on my new brass. Today I dropped one of them and bent the case mouth. So I necked sized it again. Will a second time through the die hurting anything as far as work harding ?

I neck sized my 3006 Nosler brass ( new ) because I found some high and low spots when spinning them on my Lee hand held case trimmer stud , ( I wasn't trimming them ) just checking things out. Reading RCBS instructions, still not sure where an 1/8or a 1/4 turn is in relation to 7/8 s...

I shot at 3 deer last season at different times. I hit one where I was aiming , 80 yards. The other two were over a 100 yards. ( complete miss ). I was using sciroccos that grouped well, after season , I de- primed the casings and found flash holes off center . Not all ,but some. How bad...

How well does extruded powders like IMR 4064, IMR / H 4350 with CCI LR and Fed 210 primers work in Temps below 20 * F ? Thanks , LTH

I bought some Lee dippers to use with my Lyman digital scale ( that I'm not to sure about ). Had some static using the dippers . I used new dryer sheets and wiped them inside and out . Will stuff from the dryer sheets affect the powder ? ( it's kinda greasy feeling ) It did work ...

I've had my S2 for two years now ; I'm new to hand loading and this is what I'm starting with. If any of you have and hand load for this rifle , I would like to know some things about dimensions etc...... Thanks, LTH.

About two weeks ago I made two dummy rounds. The first was a seated bullet in a resized split case neck to measure lands to bolt. The second was to seat a bullet to a tested coal of 3.320" for a nosler 165 gr. 3006 to adjust my die. I measured them both today and both of them moved...

I wanted to see where the shoulders were on once fired brass at my rifle's shoulder in the chamber. This is with a vanguard s2 3006. The 2.0395" far right is the same position as a new unfired case. The 1st and 2nd chamber pretty good. Any opinions appreciated from your experiences to bump or...

Do any of you have recall alerts sent via email mail to you from a Web site ?

Hi all , I'm new to reloading and I would like to ask this question . I understand you need to have the right burn rate powder for a particular bullet , but when people say whatever powder your rifle likes , is it finding the right pressure that a rifle will perform best ? 30/06 is what I'm...
