Have any of you use the older Hornady 60 gr. Spire Points in a .223 with a fast twist barrel ? I just aqquired several hundred in a trade and am looking to try them in my Tikka T3 Lite which has a 1 in 8 twist. Not sure what the jackets on these are capable of handling and speed is not my major...

Ok so heres my dilemma. After a half dozen calls to UPS the people who are supposedly the ones to be able via their hazmat proceedures to ship powder cant seem to get their ducks in a row to help me. I have heard " I am not trained to be able to assist you in this" and transferred to other...

My shooting buddy on a spur of the moment whim just bought one of these new 14" barreled hand cannons from the S&W perfomance center. He then went to buy ammo and nearly had a heart attack at nearly $40.00 for a box of 20 rounds of 300 grain bullets. He immeadiately asked if it were possible to...

Ok so here it is . I have loaded only for the .223 in a bolt rifle and would be the first to admit there must be more varying load data for this calibre than any other BY FAR . Enough to make you cross eyed and take double doses of Advil. I understand the the seperation of the 5.56 and .223...

Looking to try loading some cast boolits for my Tikka T3 Lite and the more official data I read the more scattered things get. Most test data relates to a 1-12 twist rate barrel or states uses this and a 1-7 twist black rifle but dont seperate their results to show what was best for which. All...

Like the post implies I have a Mosin 44 that is in very nice mechanical shape and as it only cost me $50.00 I am thinking of turning it into a sporter compact carbine. The stock, bolt, trigger and scope mount is all easy enough but not sure abot taking off the folding pig sticker . I have to...

I recently purchased a sweet model 14 . I had been after one of these for years for use as a great target and small game hunting revolver . My only grouch is my old eyes dont fare well with the glare and contrast of glossy blue matching front and rear sights . I went to Brownells site with no...

As I have a 357 already in a 4 inch for carry and cast my own bullets I would like to get a .38 special with a longer barrel for plinking and backup. A 6 inch barrel teamed with adjustable sights would do the trick and if it were capable of handling +P loads that would be a plus . Accuracy is my...

Am having to look for the "bargain basement deals" on a scope for my .223 and ran acccross this one. Sounds fair having 1/8 moa and adjustable objective lense features as well as a fine crosshair center on a duplex reticle which my tired old eyes favor . Curious if anyone is using this or any of...

I have aqquired hundreds of cast bullets over the past few weeks and some of them are a mess . The good ones seem to have been lubed then put into empty ammo trays from discarded ammo boxes and are excellent . Some of the bad ones have been rolling around in plastic bags and old carboard boxes...

I have 3 boxes I just got in a trade and remember seein at some point in time a post where 2 seperate shooters had a nearly identical load for this bullet that was crankin 3350(+) fps very accurately. That is what I need for the open country I am hunting in now . My 2910 fps load with the...

Livin in snake country and am wanting to load some snakeshot for my S&W model 66 4in. as have had a few run ins with them ol "buzzworms" the last couple of summers. I have my CCI capsules loaded with #12 shot and not one of my 9 loading manuals shows a load for any snakeshot . Would also...

Have read some old forums where some benchrest shooters looking to reduce bullet drag, pressures, increase speeds and reduce fouling as well as attempting to improve accuracy were experimenting with friction fighters such as Triflon with some success verses Moly ,,, Now I am seeing a case filler...
