Bought Remington 6 1/2 small rifle primers but later realized that they are not recommended for 223. If anyone in or around Knoxville, TN loads 22 hornet or something else that can use Remington 6 1/2 SR primers I can make you a good deal on a 1000 count box or will trade for something I can use.

I have been looking at assembling a custom rifle and am uncertain the best place to start. My end goal is to have a medium weight rifle built on a Remington 700 action, chambered in 280 Ackley Improved. But not having messed with building or having a rifle built I am not sure whether I should...

Headed to Central Colorado for a October Elk hunt. I am thinking that two to three layers would be in order but am not sure how heavy. Does anyone have a proven clothing system for this area that they recommend from experience for the early season? (Also camo pattern)

How much case wall thinning is acceptable before you discard the lot of brass and move on? The 338 Winmag case in the attached photo was a once fired remington case that has been reloaded three times. After checking with a wire and feeling some slight necking I sectioned a case to get a better...

Ran some test loads through a new rifle and they shot well but the primers are dimpled around the firing pin a bit. (See the 300 WSM primers below) However, they are not flat on the edges like I would expect from a hot load and the charge is well below max. (This was the start load) I have...

Bought a new AR upper from a vendor at the gun show, mated it with a Rock River lower and was ready to rock......but not really. It is a heck of a single shot but I had somehow envisioned a bit higher cycle rate. When fired the bolt just sits there with no attempt to cycle. It appears that...

In starting to work up some 300 WSM loads I used some one fired plated brass and some fresh Winchester Brass. All were sized full length and trimmed to the same length but after loading the Plated Brass would not fully chamber. :eek: Turns out that the shoulders on the Plated Brass flared...

I am looking to change the stock on my Browning A-bolt II and have not been able to find any aftermarket fiberglass or carbon stocks that list the A-bolt II. Does anyone know what the differences between the "classic A-bolt" and the A-bolt II are? (My particular firearm is an A-bolt II Long...

If you have taken, or attempted to take, an elk with a 270....what bullet did you use and how did it perform? In planning a trip for this fall with a friend he is planning on shooting his 270 and has been debating what ammo to use and I was hoping someone had specific experience.

Several months ago I purchased a new Bushnell Elite riflescope and to this point have been unable to get the rifle/scope combo to shoot well. It appears to have a great deal of paralax and the POI changes when the power is increased or decreased. Scope is the 4-12 x 40 AO model. The combo...

I was shooting with a friend today and one of his 38 special reloads was way off song. After checking the bore it was clear that the bullet had stopped about half way down the 3" barrel. :eek: The case had a long split and I am assuming that it must have had a crack prior to firing but it is...

I am in the process of working up some hunting loads for my 338 Winchester Magnum and am considering Neck Sizing the brass to get a little better accuracy. I have always full length sized brass when working up hunting loads because I was concerned about temperature variations affecting the...

I have been using 225 grain Hornady Interbond bullets over IMR 4350 powder and am very happy with the range performance but am considering working up some 225 grain Barnes Triple Shocks in preparation for an Elk Hunt. Has anyone done any comparisons between the two bullets mentioned above...

Does anyone have any experience with tuning the BOSS compensator on a Browning A-bolt. The rifle is chambered in 338 Win-mag and the barrel is 26" long. Ammunition it Remington 225 grain factory. If anyone has a suggested starting point it would be greatly appreciated.

There have been a number of threads posted regarding 40 S&W brass that came apart during firing. Why 40? Are these cases overworked and are the failures due to strain hardening? Did the loader make a mistake? Maybe all of those things? In an effort to answer these questions for myself I...

Maybe Walkalong or RC Model can help me out. I am working up loads for a full size 1911 chambered in 45 ACP and found several threads touting the merits of Universal Clays but the Hodgedon load data is very different from what is given in the Hornady 7th Edition and yet a third value is given...

I am trying to identify the manufacturer of a shotgun that was passed down from my greatgrandfather to my father and finally to me. The age of the gun is uncertain and I was hoping to figure out who made the firearm but there is very little information on the gun itself. On the left side of...

I purchased some Hornady factory loads for my 454 Casull with the intention of saving the brass for reloading. They were a couple bucks cheaper so I figured what the heck. On the initial firing one of the cases split and another split when it was fed into the sizing die. Is this typical of...

I went to buy powder for loading my 454 Casull today and ended up in a conversation with a very enthusiastic young fellow about reloading the 454. He recommended using H110 with 300 grain XTP's but claimed to have initially had ignition problems with the small rifle primers and this...

I can not believe that Chris Berman and Mike Ditka basically turned the first part of NFL Countdown into a forum against guns this week. Instead of just focusing on the facts about the Plaxico Burress issue.. Plax was carrying without a permit in a place he shouldn't have been carrying even if...
