I guess my attention was elsewhere in January because I missed this announcement: Somebody mentioned a price of around 3 Grand. I doubt I'd be in at that point but compared to the BRNO Field Pistol, that's an outright bargain. Sounds like the reliability/durability may be improved as well...

My case trimmer is the Lyman Universal lathe type. It would be nice to have the RCBS 3 way trimmer head and it looks like the cutter attachment is very similar. But will it actually fit? The Lyman trimmer head is threaded 7/16" (.4375") by 20 threads per inch (each thread is .050")...

Seating .22/250 bullets long...pressure issues. Rifle is a Rem. 700 SPS Varmint. COAL is 2.533" when touching the lands. Hodgdon's COAL is 2.35" for most bullets. That would give the bullet nearly .200" jump to the lands. I've always seated out close the the rifling and never had a...

When I left the house this morning Weather.com said it was 2 degrees F. Probably the coldest day I've ever gone target shooting. Didn't really have any precision shooting to do so I figured it would be interesting. Two rifles went along. The first is a Mark X Mauser (CZ action) in .30-06...

Has anyone tried H322 in a Garand (.30-06 of course)? It's a bit faster than the most often suggested powders but maybe that's OK. As I understand, the slow powders are the problem for a Garand. H322 meters like a dream and I have pounds of it so using it would be nice. Sierra has loads in...

Several pounds of this powder were among my Dad's reloading supplies. It is an extruded powder of mid to large granule size. I found it repackaged in IMR cans with the original designation overwritten with 4795. I'm pretty sure that it is surplus powder that he got from a gunsmith for use in...

I did some drill and tap tonight. First time I've done this and on my newest rifle to boot, so it was a little exciting. It went well but the whole time I was running the tap in I was praying that it would not break. If it had, where would that have left me? Is there a tool that will remove...

Got my Savage Mark II FVT last night and went to the range ASAP. First target (sight in) is below. After walking out to see the first group I thought Oh well... After the second group I said Hmmmm. After the third I just laughed. It's .18" as I measure. (EDIT: Make that .21". I think I...

The other day I had decided to buy a new .22 rifle. I left work early to hit the gun store but when I got there strangely they were closed. Maybe it was a sign...when I got home I pulled out an old family gun which was ugly when we got it, then suffered damage in a water leak. When Dad passed...

I have a problem. I have never gotten "target loads" to shoot well in my revolvers. My first solo handloads (20 years ago) were Unique behind 240 SWC in .44 mag. The results were dirty and dismal. I blamed the powder. Then I tried Bullseye and the results were cleaner but still not very...

OK, I'm setting up my RCBS Rockchucker Supreme finally and there's something that concerns me. If you use the lock nut on the handle as they reccomend, the handle does not thread into the toggle block nearly as far. If you leave the lock nut off, the threads on the handle and toggle block are...
