I am visiting my parents and we shot my muzzleloading rifle. Since I moved away, I do not plan to shoot it again for at least a year, possibly many years. I shoot black powder and patched round balls. My system involves using liberal amounts of Bore Butter bullet lube which lets me shoot...

I know that in the summer my POI will be higher. I was mostly asking how much higher it would be; if it would be significant. It sounds like the differences will be mostly insignificant.

They were 65 grain ballistic tips fwiw. Can't remember the powder charge in question but I think it was 39.5g of IMR 3031. Don't use that data; that's just what I remember. Wish I had a cronograph.

Sighted in the 6mm remington at 400 yards today. No wind at all, but temperatures in the mid '30s (F). How much can I expect my point of impact to change when I use the rifle in the summer?

I do. This wouldn't be the first one I built. I used to build custom paintball markers, including some pretty novel designs.

I'm not interested in buying an air rifle. I'm interested in building a BB gun that uses CO2, and I wanted to know how powerful commercially available CO2 powered air rifles are.

What's the most powerful CO2-powered BB/Pellet gun? I was thinking about making a BB gun that took a CO2 tank from a paintball gun, and paintball parts. But then I realized that since BBs are so much smaller in diameter than paintballs, then there might not be enough pressure to get good...

the sale ended saturday apparently. It was on the flyer I picked up in the store, the normal Academy flier. This is in Dallas.

I'm looking at buying a new shotgun, and trying to decide on whether to go 20guage or 12guage. I had been leaning toward 20guage simply for cheaper ammunition. When I bought my XD I got a 9mm instead of 40 strictly because 9mm is cheaper, and haven't regretted it once. But after looking at...

I'm sure this topic has been done before, but Academy has a sale with Remington 870 express for $199.99, and Mossberg 500 (synthetic) for $149.99. My family has always had 870s and Mossbergs feel 'cheap' to me. However I really like the tang safety on the mossbergs, and as far as I know the...

The cases are trimmed to the proper OAL with a lee case trimmer. Apparently it's the base-to-shoulder length that is too long in this case (ahem). Thanks for the infos.

I recently got into reloading, and people told me that for the most part, buying the Lee collet neck sizer die should be fine, since for bolt actions full-length resizing is not necessary. However we've loaded a hundred rounds or so now, and noticed that sometimes the bolt is hard to shut...

I didn't buy the rock chucker kit. We have reloading manuals. Everybody relax.

I'm in TX right now, but my parents live around Quaker City.

He has several reloading manuals and is smart. I'm reasonably confident he's not going to blow himself up. We used to reload shotshell. He has those too. Midway was out of the lee auto-prime, and the rock chucker apparently has provisions for priming. I told him he can buy his own case lube.

I emailed dad some of the videos from the Lee site, particularly the ones with the collet die and the bullet seating die.

My dad (who lives far away) has a 6mm remington that he can't get ammo for. So for father's day, I bought some reloading stuff. He now has a rock chucker supreme, powder scale, bullet puller, Lee collet die set, chronograph, tumbler, and calipers. I sent the stuff to him through the mail and...

I do too. It really is a remarkably low-recoil gun.

I bought an RCBS rock chucker supreme press, 2 6mm dies, a reloading manual, 100 Nosler 70g ballistic tip bullets, case trimmer, and case chamfer tool. He has a bunch of once-fired brass that he's been saving from factory ammo. Is there any way to tell which ones are best? I kind of assumed...

Awesome. Yeah he definitely has drills.
