I have just gotten back to reloading after 5 years or so. I found a box of 210M Federal primers in the basement, 1000 of them. The basement is not wet but high humidity. The primers have been there for 5 years, are dry, and in unopened boxes. My question is: Will these primers be worth...

I checked some test loads I've been making while working up a .308 150 grain Nosler BT load. I chronographed the loads using the same powder weight, bullet, primer, and the same resizing dies. The winchester cases averaged 77fps slower than the Federal cases. I would not have thought there...

I am planning on hunting elk next year, and not wanting to buy a heavier rifle caliber, intend to use my .308 Winchester. I am trying to decide whether or not to use the Nolser accubond or the partition, either in 180 grain. Do you have any experience with either in a .308 ?

I have taken some advice I received some time ago on this forum about having my Ruger Mk II glass bedded. It has improved the accuracy. The trigger was smoothed and stoned to a 3 1/2 pound pull. The rifle now shoots an honest 1 inch @ 100 yards. I'm still working on reloads, however...

I am not a pistol man, I shoot and reload for my rifles. My wife was interested in a pistol, if you can believe that. I bought her a Taurus ultra light model 85 in 38 special. She likes it. She has shot several boxes of ammo through it. I want to buy a pistol to shoot with her. (It's not...

I am toying with an idea. I have not reloaded in a while, but am about to begin again. I believe that the .270 winchester, with 130gr bullet, is as close to perfect performance on deer at reasonable distances (out to 300) as anything. I do not now own a .270. But in my estimation my 7mm-08...

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" Charles Dickens My hunt couldn't have begun better on opening morning several years ago in PA. I made a 110 yard shot at 7:45 AM on an 8 point buck (Rare in those parts) The 140 grain silvertip from the 7mm-08 went through both...

I hunt with several centerfire rifles. Most are fairly accurate, at least in my opinion. Two shoot 1- 1 1/2 inches, one shoots an inch, the other varies between 1-2 inches. The one that varies is one I have at the gunsmith. It is a Ruger 77 Mark II. He has worked on the trigger of a former...

I haven't reloaded for 5 years or so. I want to get started again loading for 308 and 7mm-08. I was shocked at the price of bullets over the last ones I'd bought, which was probably 7-8 years ago. I've reloaded the ballistic tips and their variations, the partitions, barnes, and several...

I am of the opinion that my rifle would be fairly adequate for mule deer out west, especially out to 300 yards. I am not comfortable shooting at anything past this anyway. I have a remington mountain rifle in 7mm-08 with a VX III Leupold 2.5-8X36. It is light and easy handling, as well as...

I went mule deer hunting in Wyoming for the first time last year. I did more learning, looking, and walking than anything else. i hunted on BLM land, with a permit on a large ranch, and National forest land outside of Cody. I saw lots of deer on private land and national forest. No real size...
