    Old Primers??

    Recently acquired about 300rds of .300Wheatherby reloads. Intend to pull the bullets, and dump the powder. I'm at a stand still on whether to de-cap, or try some of the rounds with the old primers. The stuff is easy 10yrs. plus--not even sure if they are mag primers. I have probably answered my...

    Any one on here have any first hand experience loading these bullets in any of the basic 30cal cartridges (.308, 30.06, .300mag., or why) I know the commercial "Fusion" ammo has a decent rep. as a hunting round, curious what the "reloaders" say. Thanks G

    Swapping scopes??

    Having been an avid collector (or maybe "accumulator") of various long guns for over 50 years, I have gotten to the point where my "glass" collection has almost out weighed my rifles addiction.
