    Phantom, GS II or Lo Drag?

    Re: Phantom, GS II or Lo Drag? I have the Lo Drag and love it. I have changed my load out twice this week alone and had room for everything I needed to go to the range and for a day hunt. The GSII is a close second but sometimes with the extra room, you feel obligated to fill it... Just food...

    Hunting loads

    Re: Hunting loads I'm just concerned with through and through wounds on deer. Not so much on hogs. I'm not wanting to headshot animals especially deer for mounting purposes. So a SMK BTHP would be good for me to keep my same load. What about moose and elk? Would it bring them down too? I'm...

    Hunting loads

    My target loads for my .308 20" barrel is 175gr SMK, 44gr Varget and Federal 210M primers. I'm wanting to develop a deer/hog load but I want to be able to keep the same zero. What projectile should I use and do I need to switch powders? Is it possible to keep the same short range accuracy...

    Bug out bag

    Re: Bug out bag I think this is more of a "set up fort, batten down the hatches, and survive in the homestead" bag or kit based on the situation discussed earlier. I've got one similar at my house and in storage with a small bag to get off the grid for a few days. I never intend to used it...

    Has this happened to anyone?

    Re: Has this happened to anyone? It's the safety prime. Our of the last 20 rds that I primed 8 of the primers got crunched, and one popped. It has been flipping the primers over multiple times even after I have put them in by hand. I'm not sure how this is happening? It just started last...

    Bug out bag

    Re: Bug out bag Ok well that changes things. Yeah your list is pretty extensive and should cover about anything that you would need to at least get somewhere or set up camp in a damaged structure. Start stockpiling MRE's from surplus stores, they'll do in a pinch and they never go bad. Maybe...

    Bug out bag

    Re: Bug out bag What are you bugging out from? Depending on factors like your situation, threat, terrain, climate, and other civil factors should dictate what you need in your kit. I've learned a thing or two about survival in just about any environment and I can't get into specifics but you...

    Has this happened to anyone?

    Re: Has this happened to anyone? No it's not crimped. I've loaded a lot of primers in the same brass with no problems. I think the problem is with the primer arm. It used to seat the primers flush but now it's down to around .003-.004 below flush. The brass I'm using is once fired, Black...

    Has this happened to anyone?

    Re: Has this happened to anyone? I'm using Federal 210M primers. The book doesn't caution against them that I can find. I'm just not liking the lever prime.

    Has this happened to anyone?

    Re: Has this happened to anyone? Thanks. It scared the hell out of the dog and I had a little ringing in my ears for a few minutes.

    Has this happened to anyone?

    I'm using a Lee Challenger Breech loading press and recently while using the lever prime, it is deforming some primers, seating some backwards (after I have verified that they were correct before attempting to prime), and one even detonated tonight. Luckily I'm trying to make my aviation career...

    9mm &.45ACP reloading

    I've pretty much got my load down for .308 and now I'm going into 9mm and .45 reloading. I'm not looking for match grade ammo but I would like to have some that is consistent and if it takes match grade loads then fine. My question is what kind of powders, bullet weight, etc. is everyone using...
