    Downsides to reloading.

    Big downside for me is that I cannot get enough of it, nor can I have enough die calibers nor new presses or specialty tools. As with the printers you buy, it is not the price of the printer that kills you , it is the toner, all the stuff that you "just gotta have" to go along with reloading.

    Did it again, stopppped at flea market

    Holy cow, that's twice. What kind of flea markets do they have near you? Ours are made up of junk that you can buy, look at, dust and look at and then repeat. Never anything like what you have found. Wow.

    Bait and Switch at Cabela's?

    OK. I'm going to be flamed but here it goes. Have any of you out there any idea what it costs run a retail operation? We always want the mostest for the leastest. I am NO way connected to Cableas. When you shop it is ALWAYS buyer beware. There is nothing evil or immoral about asking for any...

    How many rounds before cleaning barrel?

    Quote: Kevin Thomas of Sierra bullet factory, one barrel they used shot its best groups from 250 to 300 rounds! Ahem! you failed to mention that he went right back to cleaning them every 50rds.... That was a one time thing he did for "kicks" Remember these revelations did not sit easy with me...

    How many rounds before cleaning barrel?

    In November 2009 the the NRA Rifleman magazine page 66-69 and 92 there was an extensive article discussing rifle barrel cleaning and optimal barrel break in procedure. The findings blew away all my suppositions, habits and classic gun lore. I could not or would not get my arms around their...

    Low recoil rifle

    First let me recommend the Chuck Hawkins recoil comparison charts. I owned a 30-06 for 30 years and was tried of the 3 shot and done routine every year. I wanted to shoot my deer rifle more often without being beaten up. The CH recoil charts helped me choose a less punishing but effective...

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    I'll play here. "][/URL] http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff195/Tuckerp229/JST_5811resam.jpg I invented the Consistent Crimp. To the best of my knowledge it is the only way that one can first quantify crimp pressure and second return to a specific crimp pressure when...

    9mm 'accuracy' vs 'crimp'?

    I have done a great deal of study on the effects of crimping on downrange bullet performance....however it has been entirely with rifle cartridges. My findings are conclusive, crimp affects both the size of the group and the location of the groups on the face of the target. I believe that one...

    In the beginning... saving.

    I confess to a reloading addiction. First thing I do each time I go to the range is check out both the handgun range and the rifle range for brass. It is a sickness. Each piece I find I imagine can "save me money" most often it costs me more because once having found the brass I must of...

    Barrel temp - how does it affect groups when testing loads?

    My experience is that every rifle, or at least rifle brand or type handles heat differently. For example I have a Remington 700 in 30-06 circa 1975 that starts to "walk" after 3-4 shots. My bushmaster AR15 CAR model preban with heavy machine gun barrel can handle fully two rapid fire mags...

    Barrel temp - how does it affect groups when testing loads?

    This question drove me nuts as well. Temperature surely affects group size and location but I have discovered that temperature affects each gun differently. I solved this question by the use of an infra red thermometer. It is quick, accurate and does not touch the barrel. It costs less than...

    Problem with my reloads in my K31 Swiss

    http://theswissriflesdotcommessageboard.yuku.com/topic/8172 I had the same problem with my K31. I posted my question on the Swiis board. Follow this link to the pictures of the K31 slightly out of battery. The man with the screen name Guisan is a walking encyclopedia on these rifles. I hope...

    Why is my first shot always high?

    It seems to me that in addition to the valid point of the first round is manually chambered is also the chance that heat is affecting the POI. My experience has been that a hot barrel causes POI "walk" or stringing but what if this man's rifle barrel was touching a spot on the stock kind of...

    Uberti OLs Army .44 cal. dimension help

    Naturally, this is the one angle I did not photograph. Back to the drawing board. I think given my very limited photography equipment and skill, showing this next angle will be difficult. as for the early drop it is impossible to see in there however it "feels" like the drop occurs just prior...
