I searched for information on this subject but did not find what I was looking for. I know there have been discussions on bullet weight variance. I am interested in opinions on what is considered an acceptable variance. As an example with a 168 garain bullet, would + or - 1 grain be...

Has anyone seen a BC for the HORNADY 6.5MM .264 DIA. 140 GR SUPER SHOCK TIPPED bullet? I am having trouble finding it. Thanks in advance.

I am new to this and I am trying to figure out where to start. I want to do a OCW for a 168 grain IMR 4350 load in 300 Winchester Magnum. I am using a 26 inch barrel. From the OBT program, I get the following nodes: 1) 0.882 2) 0.966 3) 1.106 4) 1.191 5) 1.329 6) 1.415...

I replaced the original safety and installed a new low bolt safety on a mauser military 98 action. The new safety is designed to work with a scope. The original safety would rotate and lock the bolt back while cocked in the action. The new safety will not rotate and lock the bolt while it is...

I received these photos in an email today. This was bad. Not sure when it happened but it still is a good warning. There was a photo of the shooter on a stretcher and his face was in bad shape. I removed the photo out of respect. Subject: How not to sight in your rifle Sighting In Your...

I had something strange to occur this afternoon. I have some 264WM reloads that I loaded in 1977. I was planning on shooting them to clear-out some old ammo I have laying around. I noticed they were seated to deep at the time of reloading and figured I would pull the bullets part-way with an...

I have been noting the following that the 260 Remington has and was wondering why the 264 WM does not have the same following since it has greater velocity for the same bullet weight and diameter. What am I missing?

I remember seeing a post sometime ago that referred to a "sagging barrel". Is this in reference to a heavy barrel that has been fre-floated? I have just free-floated a 26" barrel that is 1" in diameter at the muzzle and all of a sudden I have lost some accuracy. Is there a problem with trying...

I have recently extracted a heavy-barreled 300 Win. Mag from the back of my gun safe that was barreled in 1996. I shot it about 50 times and it lost favor to the other toys. At the time I semi-retired it, I had settled on a load of 69.0 grains of IMR 4350 behind a 180 grain Sierra SBT...

I finally bought the Hornady device for measuring ogive length. I think I need a little education. If I understand correctly, the ogive length is the distance from the bolt face to the point that the bullet touches the lands. If so, should the ogive length be the same regardless of the bullet...

I have seen all the press on the backlog of US primer manufacturing and the reason behind the backlog. What I don't understand is the lack of Wolf primers. Why are they not available? You would think that the Russians would be really cracking them out. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a couple of 300 Winchester Mag loads I would like to run through Quickload to see where they fall on the accuracy nodes. Since I do not own Quickload, I was wondering if someone would run them for a fee? It will give me a chance to see if I want to purchase Quickload in the future.

I finally got a shellplate for my new Hornady Lock-N-Load AP. I have it setup and started to do my first loading on it. Having a minor problem. Every once in a while, the case (30-06) does not enter the case activated power die correctly and I dump some powder. It also results in the case mouth...
