Re: 30 July Money Shoot at Big Piney Viper 225 and I was out at the range today mowing and trimming off the tops of the firing berms. Then this evening we started shooting at the metal plates off the new 600 yard benchrest tables. The wind was slightly blowing North to South across the range...

Re: Bullet puller marks Not sure what "Air Pulled" is either unless it is using the kinetic hammer puller to work the bullet out the case and the gouging is from heavy crimping. Most of my close in shooting is at cardboard IDPA tagets at my club's 2-gun matches and the farthest targets are...

Re: .223 for an autoloading rifle? +1 on what Randfal said. I usually go 2.250" on mine to make sure they will work in all my mags.

Re: New to reloading, have some questions... +1 with what Gondy223 said. Get yourself a copy of the Seirra reloading manual for a start on your reloading library. I like the Hornady manual for some stuff too but thats me. Case prep station is a good suggestion too. I been pineing for the...

Re: Single Stage Press Opinions I used to have a RCBS Rockchucker and a Dillon 550B and was pleased with both but I was in the Air Force at the time and subject to moving around a bit till I retired out in 2008. So I had my stuff stored in a storage unit that got broke into and stoled by a...

Re: Priming tools I use the RCBS Automatic Bench Priming tool. I got it used at a gun shop years ago but I finally set it up about 3 years ago and started using it and I like it way better than the hand primer tool types. If you use it enough you can 'feel' the primers going in like the hand...

Re: Bent decapping assembly I bent one on a Berdan .223 case once when I was reloading a bunch on my rockchucker. I was using range pickup brass so that was how that one case got in there. First time I ever ran into a brass 'Berdan' primed .223 case. Forgot who made it. Required a 30 mile...

Re: My almost complete reloading room! Nice reloading room! I will have to go with Fish 301 about more under cabinet lighting, can't have enough light for looking at case stamps, inside of shell cases, looking down into rifle actions, checking out rifling on your barrels when your cleaning...

Re: 1 question, 87 answers! , when to clean a rimfire? From what I read on Rimfire central as far as benchrest rimfires is shoot them till the accurracy starts to go or swapping between ammo brands. As far as my Vostok 22 LR that is working for me. I've actually called out at one match there...
