    Terminal Bullet Tests

    (Let me know, please, if this is dead-horse material and I'll spare you the 7mm, 8mm, 30-cal, etc results) I've been keeping this "work" going on my first-love internet reloading site. Figured I'd share with my other favorite place to seek and absorb reloading knowledge. The following are...

    Help with ID: Some sort of Sheep

    Have a cottage on a river in N. Michigan. Had a "second cabin" that was 100+ years old, roof collapsed, and shifting (toast) but full of old skull mounts of Whitetail primarily, with a few Elk, bear skulls, and this sheep of some sort. Some were nice, I rescued them all nice or not the day I...

    Casting Thermometer

    Did some looking - didn't find anything here covering this one but apologize ahead if it has. Is using a "non contact" thermometer a decent idea for casting? Getting into it myself, and having fun/success thanks in part, I think, to a long (#'s at least) history of shooting production cast...

    22 Hornet: Primers

    Just picked up a 22 Hornet T/C barrel (24", blued, opens, 1:14 twists with a 3-9x40 on it) and can't WAIT to get to load playing and testing for it. Only interested in accuracy, this will be my "reloadable rimfire" per se so it has its own niche. I have a 225AI (think 22-250) already so...

    HUGE Favor - Trade for 25ACP Brass

    Hello Gentlemen (and ladies?): Need a huge favor. I owe a good friend one myself, and would love nothing more than to come through for him. He uses 25ACP brass, primed of course, somehow in his 50-cal inline muzzleloading setup. And he's strapped, I have exactly 19 gathered to send him...

    Varget: 1lb's in at Powder Valley

    ...not for long I'm sure. As I've got ~5lbs left in an 8lb jug I bought 3 years ago, not part of the rush. But those of you that have been dying for some ........good luck :) Run!

    Oddball Herders

    Curious if you folks, especially the brass rats, ever collect/keep any of the weird stuff you find - and for that matter, what do you all find? I've found some interesting items over time, some perhaps more than others. Included are several brass (most recently CCI) with the headstamps...

    Titewad Versus...

    I'm getting ready to drop a Powder Valley order for myself and a group of 3 others - enough powder in all to eliminate hazmat but I'll leave it at that. I've been using Win-231 (HP-38) a lot, and in the last 6 months have about toasted my 4-lb jug of W-231 and the 2lbs of HP-38 I had before...

    225 Winchester

    I've googled it, and site searched it here, but had no real luck. Hoping some of you can lend a hand. Does anyone have load data for the 225 Winchester using Varget? I've got fantastic amounts of data for H-380, BL(C)-2, IMR-4064, IMR-4320, IMR-4895, H-4350, on and on... Varget is darn...

    Bullet Wt. vs. Twist, 224 Weatherby

    Working on a round that will have similar case capacity and performance to a 224 Weatherby and/or 22-250. Point being, at 224 Weatherby velocities with a given bullet weight, just how heavy will I be able to go given a 1:10 twist choice? I figure 65 grain bullets for sure, but would be...

    7mm-08: Multi-Q

    Found a fairly accurate load in my then-new TC Pro Hunter 7mm-08 last year - worked up loads with several powders including Varget, H-4895, and H-4350 with a number of "normal" bullets (don't do premium) and found that the most accurate load was: 47.5 grains H-4350 pushing a 140gr Sierra SP...

    H-110 and 44 Mag

    Thinking of switching off of this powder. Loaded up 100 rounds - Federal cases, Hornady 240gr XTPs, WLPs, OAL of 1.604" and FCD crimped. Firearm is an 8-1/2", ported, Taurus Raging Bull. 24.0gr of H-110. There's the background, here's the issue. Loaded all of these rounds up in spring...
