I've got an older than dirt 650 I bought used. It came with a spare parts kit, which I've had to break into several times. I've kept the broken springs/pieces in a baggie, so I could call Dillon with a list of new parts I needed. As usual, they graciously fedexed me all my requested bits...

Anybody know of a message board or sub forum that is big on talking about wildcatting? I'm not a novice reloader and I've dabbled with some of the basics, such as preparing 22-250 for use in 6xc, prepping 243 brass for SLR, made Creedmoor cases from 308 etc etc, but I'm interested in doing...

So, I bought a rifle with a Jewell trigger. It was set very, very light (6-8oz). Before taking the rifle out, I feel I thoroughly function tested it, and it passed. Action, FWIW, is a Badger M2008. Aside from it binding up and not releasing while I was out shooting in the rain at the Grind...

Can anybody hook a brother up?

The time has come. I've driven my 95 Subaru for over 5 years, and although it still runs/drives just fine and has a quarter million miles, I'm sick of driving it. I intend to keep it as a winter beater, but I want to get something newer, nicer and more fun. I like Subaru and strongly...

Remington short action. Which make is this? It is aluminum, and has been cerakoted.

So I picked up a 6XC rifle to hold me over until my new 6SLR match rifle is complete. I might point out that one of the key reasons I chose the 6SLR is because it is just 243win brass, with a trip through the sizing die. I'm sick of losing difficult-to-replace brass at matches. Anyway...

Hornady is suspending production of 162gr BTHP and Amax bullets: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading/199683-hornady-suspend-list.html

Here is a list my local kitchen-table-gun-dealer forwarded to me this afternoon. It is a list of ~150 items Hornady is discontinuing until further notice: Sorry they're upside down. In Adobe, you can select "view", then "rotate view" to fix it, but it doesn't save it flipped for you. This is...

I think I'm going to sell my custom FN SPR. I'm trying to decide how to go about it. Currently it has a 284Win barrel on it with ~1200 down the pipe, chambered/installed by a local schmoe with (obviously) no "street cred" here on the hide. It's a good shooter, but I recognize the barrel is...

These weigh about nothing, deploy very fast, cost just slightly more than nothing to make, and work great.

I tried to go back and edit my old posts about this in order to update them but I can't find them, so I thought I'd start a new thread that would pop up when people are searching about melonite, salt bath nitride, ferritic nitrocarburizing, black nitride or nitriding rifle barrels. The long...

A friend uses 162 amaxes in his 708, over 45.5gr H4350. It is the only rifle cartridge he loads. This load works very well with no pressure signs. He recently bought 162amax "blems" from midway. At the range, he had a few cartridges "push a button", and one blew a primer as well as REALLY...

I'm moving into a house with no basement (GASP!), so I'm going to have to use a carpeted spare bedroom as a reloading area. I would like to not destroy the carpet, and being "neater and cleaner" in my reloading practices is NOT an option. I don't make a god awful mess with my reloading, but I...

Anyone have experience with Scot 4065 and 4351? I realize they are comparable to IMR4064 and IMR4350. Shoot nice? Nuances? Came across a fair amount (old, but good) and thought it might be worthwhile.

So a local friend is getting into reloading for his scoped rifle (FN SPR in 308). He is a complete noob. He came over and watched me make some ammo. Another time he came over and we made some ammo for his rifle. I had him pull the lever a while. I showed him what's what. He asked me to come...

I had a batch of ~350 155 scenars I bought from powder valley in 2011. I just loaded and shot them in the last couple months. I noticed when I loaded them that most of them were very obviously pointed, but some had little-to-no evidence of having been pointed. I just got a new batch of...

I'm interested in having an intelligent discussion about mixing/blending powders. If all you have to say about it is "Don't", please save it. If you can qualify the "Don't do it" with rationale and reasoning, I'm all ears. I know for a fact it is common practice for big cartridges, such as...

I've been having some sticky PRIMARY extraction with my FN SPR (CRF Win 70 action). Chambered in 284 Win, with a PTG "284 Win Match - no turn" reamer. More on the reamer later. Load is WW-Super brass, 54.0gr H4831sc, 175smk, Tula primer, 2.950" COAL (tip to tip), goes ~2825fps from a 28" bbl...
