    Charge master woes

    My old one was doing the same thing. That was a sign that it was on its last life. Shortly thereafter it died and I bought a new one.

    Scales scales scales... tell me about your scale!

    LOL! Good point.

    Need a new powder dispenser. Help me out.

    So my RCBS Chargemaster finally pooped out on me. I've had it for several years and have loaded some accurate Ammo using it. It started making all kinds of weird noises, Wild speed fluctuations, and started throwing lots of undercharges. At the end it would not throw the entered charge. So I...

    Lake city brass variances.

    I think it would be overkill to go that far for varmint loads. If you were entering some sort of competition, then there might be some merit to it.

    Use my Hornady and federal or wait for Lapua?

    I say wait for the Lapua. Work up the load you want with the components you're going to use.

    I'm glad I stocked up before the shortage.

    Brass prep?

    Don't waste your time uniforming the primer pockets. It's a waste of time. And you can skip the SS tumbling and just tumble them in some corn cob with polish. Works just fine and no drying required. Getting the primer pockets spotless isn't going to net you any benefit other than cosmetic. Which...

    Hornady Precision Hunter 30-06

    Just curious as to whether anyone knows the load for the Hornady Precision Hunter 30-06? My bolt gun absolutely loves that ammo and I'd love to replicate it. Primer and powder are a mystery to me.

    Hunting & Fishing First GA buck

    I'm stationed in VA but hunted GA last year without any luck. My buddy has a lease in Sandersville. This year is totally different. We're seeing a lot of deer. I had this guy come out last night and give me a quartering towards shot in between the bushes and trees. He's definitely mature...

    Pistol reloading from glock. How do I do it?

    Same here. I've reloaded thousands of cases fired in Glocks and have never had an issue.

    .30-06 Sprg OCW: 175 gr SMK + H4350

    What kind of brass? Those charges out to tell you what it likes. However, I would start at the minimum and work up to max in .5 increments. You're rifle may like the low node. Then you can fine tune in .2 increments to hone in on "The Load."

    Gov. Limiting Supplies?

    I've been able to find everything I need. But I'm not lazy.

    Signs of case head separation after 5 firings?

    Ok. Apparently it wasn't obvious enough. My brass measured 1.934" base-shoulder before I sized it. I set the die to where it does not bump the shoulder. Therefore, the base-shoulder measurement is 1.934".

    Who makes good inexpensive plated pistol bullets?

    Xtreme all the way! They make great .224 bullets too.

    Crimp AR10 Loads?

    I don't crimp either. No need to if your neck tension is right.
