    unsafe reloader?

    Re: unsafe reloader? Reloading can be risky. Can be. It should not be taken on by those who are afraid of experimentation, flirting with danger, or loud noises. If eschewing book formulae and recipes frightens you, then you are hardly scratching the surface on the possibility of...

    unsafe reloader?

    Re: unsafe reloader? Do what you want, who cares what other people say. Have some confidence in yourself and enough self esteem to be proud of doing things your way. What you do doesn't affect me and the way I do things shouldn't influence you.

    Loading cheap rounds for 223 worth it?

    Re: Loading cheap rounds for 223 worth it? I reloaded plinking ammo for a while because I got all my brass for nothing, so the actual cash savings was quite good. As well, it served to help me learn how to reload with a large margin for error since my tolerances and standards were still...

    700 Varmint 223 advice

    Re: 700 Varmint 223 advice I have a Remmy 700 VTR with a 1:9 twist. All of the advice so far is spot on, stick with light, flat-base bullets. Mine will shoot up to the 77s but still does the 40s well too. Here's a good recipe: 27gr Varget, 40gr Nosler HPBT "varmageddon", seated .040" off...

    Compressed Loads and Redding Competition Seater

    Re: Compressed Loads and Redding Competition Seater What!?!?! If Varget can overpower a Redding die, I'm going to start throwing mine away. Some of those max loads need drop tubes, taps on the cases, and fireformed shoulders to fit it all. Especially Hodgdon info, which is quite generous...

    260 or 7mm-08

    Re: 260 or 7mm-08 So out of curiosity, since I'm watching this thread and learning from everyone - can 7mm-08 or 260 brass be formed from 308 brass?

    Neck Sizing Die...Redding or Lee Collet?

    Re: Neck Sizing Die...Redding or Lee Collet? I have a number of die sets for a couple of my calibers, I guess I like being thorough. Also, I tend not to discard tools. Hornady dies are excellent, by the way - no reason to have remorse on that purchase. I use the Lee collet dies and don't...

    260 or 7mm-08

    Re: 260 or 7mm-08 As a reloader, one of the things I look at is availability and variety of components. Grafs lists 101 ways to buy bullets for the 7mm and 105 for a 6.5 (.260). If you have no real need for something exotic, sticking with 308 opens your options up to 284 choices. It's fun...

    TRG 22 vs 42 regrets?

    Re: TRG 22 vs 42 regrets? The analogy may be a bit of a stretch when comparing rifle ammunition to motorcycles, but I'll give it a try. When riders want to get on the motocross track or the road course for the first time, they all want the biggest, baddest thing the latest star is riding...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. I'm all for using what you got! Enjoy it man, have some fun. I like getting the most bang for my buck too. I make a lot of my life decisions based on that. If I may pass along some wisdom though, it's always cheaper in the end to buy what you want...

    Re: Finished 700 in 223. Hot damn! Are all your groups that good? You should try shooting it in the 100 yard bolt action thread.
