    Google's "Free & Open Internet" Campaign

    After I read and commented on a thread from earlier this summer bemoaning Google's new policy banning firearms and most firearms related items through Google Shopping, I've since come across this gem of a campaign sponsored by Google. It is a petition from Google to the governments of the world...

    Trying to decipher some die markings?

    Hello handloaders - I have a set of RCBS 22-250 Remington dies, w/ a micrometer seater, a FL Resizer, and then an oddball die thrown in - my guess is that it's for neck resizing, but could one of you confirm this? It's marked around the collar with: "Redding 22-250 B/NK P0" Thanks...

    Looking for a CVA Accura schematic

    Howdy High Roaders - I have a coworker who took his CVA Accura apart, after it was dropped in a mudhole. He brought it into work today, to see if we could figure out how it goes back together... I've searched high & low trying to find a schematic for one, but to no avail... I've been to Numrich...

    How to measure my groups?

    I have a simple question, when it comes to measuring my group sizes: When examining a particular group for accuracy, which measurement should I be looking at (I'm using On-Target, to determine my measurements)? Is it the Max. spread? Or the average CTC (Center to Center)?

    An interesting article on stopping power

    I'm still reading it, but I thought I'd give interested parties some time to read it as well... From the VCDL's weekly e-news letter: http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/7866

    I need some "outside the box" .223 recommendations

    OK my fellow highroaders, I'm looking for some starting points for a new .223 loads. Here's my quandry: I have a new target rifle - a Savage VLP in .223 1/7 RH twist with a heavy fluted barrel. I'm planning on trying my hand at some 300 yard plus shooting. I've loaded for bolt actions...

    THR Handloaders 'Advance'?

    So I've been mulling this idea over for the past few months, particularly the last several weeks while at the range... My wife and her scrapbooking hens have the 'retreats', where they meet someplace neither too near, nor too far and basically scrapbook all day, and all night. I usually end...

    An interesting article on the "90%" myth...

    With all of the attention being focused on BATFE's disastrous Project Gunrunner, this is a fairly decent article from STRATCOR: http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20110209-mexicos-gun-supply-and-90-percent-myth Just for your perusal! Out of curiousity - does anyone know anything about the...

    30-30 using Unique?

    So - I've recently bought a lb. of Unique to try out on my .45ACP loads. The gun store guy knows I load for my 30-30, and mentioned it works well in this also. I've looked across the interwebs, and can only come up with one instance where someone was using my components: WW 2x brass Sierra...

    Merry Christmas to you High Road Handloaders!

    Merry Christmas! And thanks for all the excellent information, advice, and humor you guys have given freely over the last year - my reloading habit has grown tremendously, along with my confidence, ability, and general enjoyment of the sport of shooting. Thanks again all, and be safe. -tc

    Dillon Precision comes through again!

    So - I sent back my 1050 press, to have it rebuilt / looked over for some nagging adjustment issues ( mainly, a loose nut behind the press handle). I sent them my check for $163 - to cover shipping, and the rebuild. It's two years old, and I've loaded about 3K rounds on it. I called them...

    Looking for info on a Winchester 94

    Howdy all - I just picked up an older Winchester Mod. 94, and I was hoping someone could give me some info on it: I know that it was made in 1981, from the serial no. on the rifle. I was looking for something more specific, like the particular name of the model. Here are the specs...

    Will 45-70 make my butt look big?

    Sorry.:p I have the chance to pick up a Marlin 1895 GBL - one of the new ones. It's chambered in 45-70 Govt. I have no reasonable use for a 45-70, mainly because I'm not a hunter. I love target shooting, which is my primary reason for reloading. I know the trajectory for 45-70 is rather like...

    .223 Chamber Lengths?

    Howdy High Roaders! So... I've been using my LnL OAL Length Gauge a lot as of late - I'm looking for some data from other users concerning their OAL readings using this tool. I was greatly surprised at the measurements I was getting - considering magazine length ( I can squeeze 2.262" out of...

    Having an issue with my Lee trimming stud + pilot...

    I think I've spoken to JimKirk and Walkalong, and possibly rcmodel and Snuffy in the past about the Lee trimmer (cutter shaft & case length gauge type). I'm having an issue with it - I have three of the shafts - I've never had an issue with the 30-06, or the 30-30. Today is the first time...

    Going to try my first cast .45 ACP loads...

    So, after having made 1000 jacketed rounds, and 500 plated rounds, I'm now going to sample the economy of cast bullets. Here's my scenario: 230 gr. LRN from a local maker (with lube) mixed 1x & 2x fired cases from my previous loads WLP primers IMR 700x powder. When I visited the IMR...

    Yes or No? 30-30 + Magnum Primers...

    They're all I have - CCI LR Magnum primers, and I can't find any LR primers locally. They're going to be used in a Marlin lever action 1936 rifle. I haven't decided on a powder yet, but was thinking 3031. I'm not looking for a moon shot with these, just plinking - probably the 110 gr. RN...

    Identify this head stamp?

    Need some help with identifying a head stamp, the caliber is 45 Automatic. I'll put a picture up later on... the headstamp reads: . T T Z .. 45 Auto It looks just like that, with one small dot, then the lettering, then two small dots. Any ideas? -tc

    So I've been thinking...

    I know, I know...:what: This headspace/shell holder kissing the ram / headspace gauge has me somewhat confused, and concerned. Now - I'm not trying to start any of the arguments that have already been hashed out here before (and subsequently locked certain threads). What I'd like to know is...
