Hi All, I'm new to the forum but am looking for some help learning more about a handful of old long guns I inherited from my grandfather. I'll open a new thread for several of them. Thank you in advance, and if it would be helpful to have additional photos/info just let me know! Thank you in...

Hi all - I'm working up some rounds for my Rossi R92 16" .357 and I'd like to roll some for hunting whitetail here on the East Coast. So far, I've been reloading SWCHP 158 gr Hornady Frontier Lead since I already have a stock of them, but I imagine these aren't ideal for hunting. Probably a 158...

Recently acquired a Rossi R92 16" in .357 Magnum. Years ago, I started into reloading .38 Special and .357 mag for my S&W 686+ and I've been nagged by the temptation of a lever rifle in the same caliber. Finally pulled the trigger, so to speak - I've read about the issues with fit & finish and...

I bought a used 30-30 a few years ago that already had a scope mounted. I've been thinking about taking off the scope and using the iron sights for deer as I already have a scoped 308. I mostly hunt thicker timber and the deer I took last year was at like 10-15 yards with a shotgun slug. Help me...

https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-howa-1500-weatherby-vanguard-sa/ I’m curious if anyone has any experience with these? Legacy has one, so does mdt, but if I can use a more “universal” mag instead of something proprietary, I’d like it better.

Hi everyone, I am looking to reload a bunch (500 or so) 147gr FMJ projectiles for my .300 Blackout stash. I have maybe only a few hundred rounds for it I bought and it's all for hunting. I have no real "bulk" or training ammo as it stands. I have a case gauge on the way for better safety...

I am considering trading my Savage MSR-10 .308 in for a nice used bolt action and wanted to see if anyone had advice here. The idea is if I had a medium priced bolt gun might have a more natural feel to it and shoot tighter groups, thus allowing me to take longer shots. My MSR-10 shoots about...

Hey all, I’ve been reloading a few years now on my lee single stage press and am considering purchasing one of the many progressive presses out there. My question is how much faster is a progressive press really. If I’m not mistaken I still need to pull the case out after sizing to trim...

I need advice. I'm mostly a handgun person (2020 Colt Python 6", Nighthawk Classic 1911, Beretta LTT Elite, etc). Heck, I even have a little Puma Bounty Hunter 1892 Mares Leg lever action in 44 Magnum! However, I feel that I probably could use a higher capacity, semi-automatic rifle or carbine...

I'm shooting a 250-3000/savage built on a Mauser action (96 I believe) . It currently has about a 1:12 twist barrel. It doesn’t stabilize anything over 100gr very well. I’m planning on rebuilding the rifle for my daughter to hunt with (shorter stock, safety lever conversion, trigger etc) and I’m...

Hey folks - bit of an oddball question here. I'm still fairly new to this, when when I started loading .30-30 a year or so ago .223/5.56 was the only other rifle round I was loading. I was well aware that it was not necessary to crimp 2.23/5.56 rounds. Based on that limited experience, and a...

I have found a steel molle panel that I can install overhead in my truck. I am trying to find some rubber clamps that I can use to store my rifle up there but I am having a hard time finding something that would attach to Molle panel and is in stock. Any suggestions? Right now I move my rifle...

Hello. I recently purchased a new Henry Frontier Octagon .22 LR rifle (Hoo1T). When I unload it, one or two (usually two) rounds get stuck in the magazine tube and I have to shake the rifle, muzzle up, to get them loose, or cycle them through the ejection port. Does anyone have any idea what...

Hello, I am new to reloading 308. I can’t find any load data for a hornady 160gn ftx using cfe223. I have researched but can’t find anything

It looks as though my home state of Minnesota is really going ham on banning lead based hunting ammo and lead sinkers for fishing. I've only found Nosler and maybe Federal, but only online. Granted I live in Nebraska now, but I may as well try to get ahead of the curve just incase something like...

Looking for help identifying this Enfield rifle. It has been modified some. The forestock has has been cut down and there is a green enamel paint that was applied somewhat that I am removing. The magazine is missing as well. Any help with caliber, manufacturer, model or other information much...

First time posting here outside of the intro thread, but I've read threads for a long time. Greetings. I've been handloading since I was 14 (>20 years now...time flies), but am trying to get serious and into PRS competition. Having my M70 rebarreled is a several month process, so like many I...

COVID and everything about it sucks. Time to think about how to consolidate. Who has the solution? What same caliber guns do you own in both rifle and pistol? What bullets are you currently shooting out of your combo’s?

How many .45 Raptor handloaders do we have here? Have you achieved the accuracy you were searching for with your loads in your rifle? Did you have any struggles with TIR? I am still trying to find the accuracy I want (would love to fine <=MOA). In my searching, I have realized that my TIR is...

Hello everyone, hope you're doing ok in these crazy times. I'm here once again asking for your expertise, while browsing a famous auction house I stumbled upon a beautiful Winchester Hotchkiss in .45-70; it is in pretty good conditions and I'm kinda in love with old bolt action rifles but, when...
