    What the heck am I supposed to do with these...... :)

    I would remove the bolts and use them as cigar holders and just sit there and look badass.... Seriously though - droolworthy.

    Chargemaster or beam scale? Your opinions...

    I used a Lyman DPS III first - endless frustration. Recently bought the CM - what a pleasure! As far as overthrowing is concerned - look up the "straw Modification" - you basically stick a piece of a thickish diameter cold drink straw into the dispensing tube. This provides a smooth surface...

    Hunting & Fishing African Plains-game bullet selection. Can the Bergers do the Job??

    I am from South Africa and have done my first winter hunt last week. If I can make a few suggestions: 1. For smaller bodied game, like blesbuck, impala, springbuck etc. any of the .20 calibres will work, upwards of .243. Few game farms will allow calibre smaller than .243. In S.A. .243 and .270...

    Lyman DPS gen 5 and 6

    Does anyone have any experience with the new lyman digital powder measures? I currently have a DPS 3 and it irritates me to no end! It starts drifting after 20 or 30 rounds, consistently over or underthrows by 0.2 - 0.4 grains. It is driving me crazy. So I have been looking at the RCBS charge...

    Hallo from South Africa

    Hahaha! Yeah, there is a saying here: "brannas het nie brieke nie!" Loosely translated as brandy does not have brakes!

    Hallo from South Africa

    I have been lurking for a long while on the Hide, so I suppose an introduction is long overdue. I am thirtysomething based in South Africa with a keen interest in anything gun related. My main passions are however, hunting and long range target shooting and hopefully soon long range hunting...

    Case shine: ultrasonic vs stainless media tumbling

    I am thinking of buying stainless media and thumbler's tumbler to clean my cases. I am currently using a lyman ultrasonic cleaner and even though it works great I still have water stains on the cases and they are not as shiny as I would like them. This is despite rinsing them in distilled water...

    Help me choose a load for .260 Remington

    Hi, I have been lurking for a long time here on the Hide. Here goes: I have a .260 Rem and I have been using Lapua Scenar 139gr with great success out to about 1070meters. However I am having difficulty getting these bullets reliably as I am not based in the USA. I decided to develop loads...
