bump for some help

I recently switched from Hornady to berger so i needed to start my load development over again. had a pretty good recipe for the hornadys but they were becoming difficult to find and I happen to live close to bruno's shooting supply and they had boxes and boxes of bergers. I performed a...

Bringing this back. Can anybody weigh in on this?

Im confused by this. It sounds like your saying the only way for one to become good at something is to go out and do it. While I agree that the only way one can become better at this sport is to go out and shoot. If a person just goes out and "wings it" and learns themselves, they would...

Hey guys, I want to get into bumping the shoulders of my 300WM to preserve brass life and not FL size them each time I load them. I understand the concept of shoulder bumping and why it preserves the brass. but what I cant find out is what die to use. Ive got a set of RCBS and hornady...

So nylon brushes are preferred to the brass/bronze ones?

Hi guys. After using a bore snake on my last few rifles: I now have a decent long range rifle and want to step up to the better more proven methods of cleaning my bore. Ill admit this is a little foreign to me so I'm wondering if I can get your input on what tools/chemicals you use and the...

I use soft water from my softener. Cool. But not cold. I towel dry them to remove most of the moisture. Then run a fan over them for a few hours.
