    Hunting with sierra match kings

    Re: Hunting with sierra match kings The game kings lack the BC of the SMK's but the accuracy of them is very fine. I selected the accubond due to the touted match accuracy with the bonded bullets. I was having all sorts of trouble getting accubonds to shoot consistently accurate in my new...

    My new reloading bench only $159.99...

    Re: My new reloading bench only $159.99... Sounds too thin to me for straight wood. ETA- I see the edge is banded so maybe that'll support the edge. I'd reinforce the underside of your press location with some plywood. ETA2- Did you mean 3-4" and not 3/4"? That'd make more sense...

    what powders work best in 22-250?

    Re: what powders work best in 22-250? IIRC Bruce Hodgdon named H380 for his pet load for the 22-250, 38.0 grains with a 52 Match bullet. I used BLC2 for years with good results but just recently had issues with the load not holding up at over 200 yards distance while being tiny at 100. I'm...

    Re: CMP 40X Status Thread Definitly on the receiver ring not the stock. Mil stocks are generally differentiated from commercial by the oil finish as opposed to the varnished finish.

    CMP 40X Status Thread

    Re: CMP 40X Status Thread I figured I'd concoct something. I'm thinking of taking a piece of aluminum plate and bevel the edges, drilling three holes in line, center for the bipod, and one front and one back for a bolt, nut, and a washer with the nut and washer riding in the rail. This...

    CMP 40X Status Thread

    Re: CMP 40X Status Thread If you clean up the stock, you'd pretty much double your money on it. You can get a replacement stock from Numerich or even another hide member and stash it for later reconfiguring it back to original form. I have 2 now, one I got 3 years ago, a standard weight...

    RCBS 3 Way Trimmer

    Re: RCBS 3 Way Trimmer I got tired of my dull cutter on my RCBS trim pro so I ordered 2 complete 3 way cutter heads. One for .22 cal and the other in .30 cal. I like them. I wouldn't mind a Giraud but I'm not quite there yet. Lots of things more important to handle at the moment. The 3...

    What if I forget to load the propellant?

    Re: What if I forget to load the propellant? Wasp, that vid is a perfect example. -reloading error -operator error -thinking error The guy even recognized there was an ammo issue and still blundered ahead. I had one I made that was a no charge. A 77 Nosler in a LC case. Rem 7.5...

    .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308

    Re: .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308 How about a .308 short or a .30-06 short. Or an Ackley chamber version of either parent cartridge. Not sure if you could do the ackley cartridge and still be able to buy the ammo. Besides it might be a hassle with the law and semantics.

    Redding neck bushing for Type S die - 260 REM???

    Re: Redding neck bushing for Type S die - 260 REM??? I am using RP brass, cleaned up about 60-70% of the necks with a sinclair neck turner. I purchased both .288 and .289 and am using the .289 mostly now. FWIW my neck wall thickness is approx 0.0132"

    Redding Bushing Selection

    Re: Redding Bushing Selection If you're going to be reloading that brass then measure that. The biggest variable is the neck wall thickness. most quality bullets will be closer to spec across the board so that would be less of an issue.

    Which bullet puller?

    Re: Which bullet puller? I have a 20 year old Forster and it works well. I'm thinking the newer style cam lock Hornady would be my purchase if I was needing to buy with what is on the market now.

    Problem with Redding competition shell holders

    Re: Problem with Redding competition shell holders Redding says not to cam over on some of their die sets and others the set up instructions say to. I would use the minimum amount of cam over necessary. Anymore than removing the slight amount of slop in the shellholder fit and linkages and...
