It was the brass! I had a thread going in gunsmithing because I thought I might have a gun problem. But it turned out to be the brass. I had some PPU brass that cycled in my Weatherby Vanguard just fine new, but caused a sticky bolt on retraction after the brass was once fired and resized. Lots...

Bummed that my new Weatherby Vanguard is not behaving. The short question is; How much space is needed between the shoulder of the case and the shoulder of the chamber for this hunting gun? I think I have about .007-.010 which should be plenty from what I have read, but maybe I'm wrong. So here...

Picked up a new hunting rifle in 7-08 (Weatherby Vanguard youth). Never loaded 7-08 before and looking for the SAAMI drawing to do some experimenting with cases. When I go to SAAMI.org the words that look like they may be a link to the cartridge drawings are not clickable. Is anyone else able to...

Has anyone ever seen published load data for H4895 and Sierra 85 gr bullets for the 260 rem? I'm shooting them with 40.0 gr and just wondering how that would compare to published stuff. Apparently there are still some 260 shooters out there as I saw some interest in another 260 post. Also it...

Does the new Hornady manual usually list the same powder load for Interbonds and Interlocks? I'm looking specifically to load some 129 Interbonds in my 260 Rem but it looks like my manual must predate Interbonds. I've done this before without incident in 300 WinMag. Hoping to try some tomorrow...

I want to shoot some 38 special cases/loads in my 357 Ruger GP100 6" barrel revolver. I have only loaded jacketed bullets in my 357 mag, 357 sig, 9mm Luger. I loaded some 250 gr unjacketed lead in 45 Colt that worked. My junk box has a couple hundred Speer 148 gr HBWC and some home made 120 gr...

Can someone tell me what gun has a one inch outside diameter round receiver? I want to order a scope base that fits something this size and try it on my one inch diameter slug barrel. Nothing in my gun safe is this size, and having a hard time getting specs of other guns out there. My...

I'm looking for an economical way to feed my 17 Mach IV, but 221 Fireball brass is pretty expensive. I could get reforming dies for 223 to 221 for about $100, and get 223 brass for about $.25 each. After a few hundred rounds I figure I would have paid for the dies. So what kind of problems...

Hello. Some of you may remember me from gunsmithing where I learned how a 6.5 Jap barrel could be put on a Rem 700. Before I do this I'm trying to confirm that I will be able to reload ammo for it. It would be nice if I had the option to shoot both 6.5 Jap brass and reformed 35 Rem brass. Might...

Hello all. Forum newbie here so please excuse any breach of etiquette. I'm considering rechambering my modern rifle to a somewhat obsolete cartridge. I am trying to understand how a gunsmith would cut the new chamber. I have done some homework-You tube videos, reading forums, emailing tool...
