    17 hornady hornet? anyone got one?

    I was doing some reading And came across the 17 hornet. I reload for my 223, but with the recent shortages of stuff I thought it might be nice to have a rifle in a different caliber. I like shooting my 17MR, but I hate that I can't reload for it. Hornaday shows on their website that the 17...

    What method is used to clean dies...

    I saw on here in a post to use brake cleaner... Is there anything that works better on dies and what shouldn't be used on dies. I know nothing abrasive. How often do you clean your dies? Does sizing wax build up in the dies till it will actually change the dimension of the die? Cheers, B_R

    Chrono's are they worth it?

    I have $150 left to spend on my reloading setup. I have found a couple on Midway on sale. How important should they be in a reloading system? I am loading for distance, not 100 yard groups. Will 150 get me something serviceable? Thanks for the advice. Reloading .308, .223, and 9mm for now.

    Over Pressure or too long of a case?

    This weekend I loaded up some .308 165 smk with 42 gr of wc846. Using blc2 data 42 gr is middle of the road. I used a complied data book that has speer, sierra, hornady and 4 or 5 more books worth of data on .308 to come to that conclusion.. I loaded 10 but only sent 4 down the tube. On three...

    Advanced Marksmanship Hoping rifle when shooting with a bipod...

    I have a Savage FP10 in .308 18 or 20" barrel.. I was running some factory win ammo through it last weekend for the brass (It was cheaper to buy loaded ammo then it was to buy virgin brass, so why not have some fun getting to the brass). I was using a fixed 6-8" adjustable bipod. I was sighting...

    WC 844 what would be the closest substitute?

    I picked up some surplus 5.56 bullets today at the gun show. I started doing some searches to find out what the armed forces load behind these puppies and it listed 24.7gr to 26.1 of WC 844 behind them. I was looking in my Hornady book and it doesn't make a reference to this powder. Is there a...

    Anyone using xs sights on a AR?

    Right now I have the pretty standard front post/flip up back sight on my wife's AR. On our farm, the small rear aperture sight able to go out to 600yrds is a hindrance trying to make a fast target acquisition. Also my dad wears glasses and he has problems finding the front sight through the...

    ? about round reloaded with ball powder

    My dad had picked up a bulk pack of reloaded rounds from the store to run through the fal we have. He also thought it would be a good idea to shoot it out of his savage fp10. Well the spent case wouldn't come out under normal working of the bolt. I had to hit the bolt handle with the palm of my...

    Advanced Marksmanship POI 12 o'clock to cross hairs. good idea?

    I was reading the "dot drill" post and there was a suggestion if you are running a lower power scope to make your poi either 6 o'clock or 12 o'clock of center of cross-hairs. I have a 22 lr bull barrel pistol that has a "pumkin on a post" sight system that is pretty easy to hit what you are...
