    Re: Same loads...different results...I'm frustrated! 1800 will wash out any 22-250 shot at a varmint hunters pace> If you can get access to a bore scope look down the tube, the only reason I say this is with that many rounds down the tube it's not going to hold very much longer for varmint...

    help with 257wby load

    Powder measure?

    opinoins on ball powders for LR work?

    Re: opinoins on ball powders for LR work? Jerry means Hodgdon Extreme not Hornady Extreme, and by far some of the most consistent powders for first shot accuracy thus available. I've got match rifles that work with other powders for better accuracy, but most match shooting you get sighters...

    First go round with reloading for rifles

    Re: First go round with reloading for rifles One word of advise, If you don't have access to a chronograph, GET ONE. It will take you from reloading ammo to handcrafting ammo of extreme accuracy and consistency!

    new to reloading, hornady or rcbs?

    Re: new to reloading, hornady or rcbs? I personally prefer Redding stuff to either of those brands. I've used all of them though in my 36 years of ammo crafting and I just sort of drifted to Redding over time. Less problems with dies, Less problems with press alignment and wear etc. Check...

    Re: who uses their tactical setup to hunt with? Tacs are great for long distance spot and stalk hunting but if your thing is backpack or backcountry hunting off of horseback using a scabbard I strongly recommend a rifle in the 8.5 to 9.0 lbs range max, with a scope no larger than a 44 mm...
