After a long Lion season I was able to get it done. This was one of my most trying hunts several trips running roads that you shouldn't be on. Very cold mornings bucking deep snow to hiking up some very rough mountains and cliffs and to get it done with my bow.

I just started hunting them I was able to find a calling mentor. We have been able to go several times and I've learnd a lot from him we've been also trying to get a wolf hunt together. It's taken me awhile to get every thing together picked up a Howa 1500 in 22-250 so working up a load and...
So far the brass that I formed is working flawlessly my new Howa in 22-250 is a shooter. I broke the barrel in useing ther gidence except I was useing reloads instead of factory ammo. 20 rounds and cleaning inbetween a starting load of IMR 4064 and a 55 grain bullet. Once I was finished with the...
I have already trimmed and reamed the neck along with full Leigh sizing the brass. I was think about useing a cast Boolit and a light dose of a fast burning pistol powder. According to the Lyman 4th 700x at 7 grains and 100 pices of brass that is 700 grains of powder and with a limited amout of...
Luckley I have been able to harvest several White Tail with a bow. This morning I was able to make it happen with my Bow. It wasn't easy very open country with some Willow trees.
I picked up the CVA at a garage sale shot it some last year pulled her out to shoot. Accuracy went to crap look like I was shooting a 50 cal shot gun
I was shooting a Lee 320 conical and a hornady 365 Great Plains sitting on 90 grains of FF black powder. I was swabbing the barrel every time...
I live in South east Idaho and I still have a Cow tag in my pocket I think the rut is over with. I went out this afternoon and found 5 head of Bulls in a batchler group 3 in on and 2 in another all within 100 yards of each other. I was able to watched them for almost a hour thinking that there...

I have a replica Hawkin that I picked up at a garage sale for next to nothing with some pyerdex I also have some FF black powder. The Boolit that I'm planing on shooting is the Lee 320 conical cast by me with and lubed with bees wax and crisco. I've shot it last year but I can't remember what my...

I'm looking at one for my daughter in 7-08.
I've already settled on a 7-08 for her and was wanting to build a Encore for her and then I saw the Ruger they are asking 349.00 and a Encore is running 650.00
What is the good the bad and the other?

How far would you take a shot at deer size critter?
In different parts of the country you are limited on how far you are actualy able to see and some parts you can see for miles.
I used to live in Texas but have moved to Idaho where you can see as far as you want to.
So this raises the...
For my AR I have been full leanth resizing all my brass for my single shot and bolt guns I neck size only.
If I'm shooting the same brass in my AR do I have to full leanth resize or can I neck size I know it's my brass out of my rifle.

I have been loading for several years so I'm not a newbee but I will andmit to being a newbee with the AR.
So here is my problem. I'm haveing problems with the AR ejecting my dummy rounds.
All have been trimmed inside the neck reamed the mouth debured and full leanth resized with a Lee FL...
I have read and talked to other reloaders about useing a under sized sizeing die for reliable feeding. The brass that I'm intending on useing is range pickup and it's mixed headstamp.
Thank you
I'm going to start loading for a M 99 and I have a cupel questions
1) As I've stated do I need to crimp
2) Do I need to stay with factory COL or can I load them closer to the lands
I know that each gun is different but with a leveraction cycling the action is my concern
Thanks Flip
