    Denver 7-11 Hostage (taker) Shot - why the torso?

    Damn shame there is no qualified snipers in this whole forum that could state a condition where such a shot would be preferred over a head shot or how the bullet likely ended up where it did such as, oh, say perhaps, glass deflection. Or, as an LEO, are you implying there is no tactical or...

    POLL - Most COMPLETE ballistics app

    I am not a fan of Android and all of Google's privacy invasions nor an I a fan of Apple with it proprietary hardware and cult like following. That said, I would still pick Loadbase/Coldbore as my choice. It is user friendly, accurate and suits my needs. It is also supported on the desktop, PDA...

    Berger Bullets Reloading Manual (1st Ed) Opinions

They...

    Which Redding dies to get?

    With your stated goal of a good group at 600 yards, in my opinion, you really don't need a bushing type die. I would suggest you look either Redding's or Foster's die set with full length sizing dies and a micrometer seating die. The sizing die would need to be properly set up for your rifle...

    Anyone loading 300 Norma or 338 Norma on a Dillon 550

    Great Question. The comprehensive Excel spreadsheet found on Brian Enos' forum doesn't have either listed at all for the 550 and only the 300 for the 650. You may want to check out his website and call for a recommendation as his order page does allow for unlisted types. I order all my Dillon...
