    IMR 8208 XBR results in a 6.5x47 Lapua

    I bought some of this powder a few weeks ago to try out in my 6.5Lapua. I was happy with the results I was getting with Varget but was intrigued by the idea that the new powder might give me good results AND be able to meter accurately. My hopes were that I would get a powder that was...

    Just ordered a Hornady LNL AP....... what else?

    Just bought one of these things. Other than shell plates, what else do I need to get that it does not come with. Do I need to get any metering inserts for the powder measure or does it come standard with rifle and pistol metering inserts? This is my first progressive and all the product...

    Temperature stable Ball powders ???

    I'm getting ready to start reloading for AR-15 (.223 cal) and thought it would be great to find an accurate, temperature stable ball powder (or one that just meters really well). Normally I would just go with Varget, and I still may, but wanted something that meters well through my powder...

    Gunsmithing Questions for the Smiths and people "in the know"

    I've noticed that most gun smiths bed the barrel for about 1.5" in front of the recoil lug on rifles bedded in HS Precision, McMillan, and Manners stocks. I know that this is being done to minimize stress on the action (right?). On the AICS stock though, I haven't seen any bedding in front of...

    Recipe for federal GMM 175gr

    Anybody ever try to figure out the load recipe for Federal GMM <span style="text-decoration: underline">175gr</span>? My friend has an AI AE that shoots this stuff incredibly accurate. He does not reload yet, but I do, and I was wanting to find a load for him for when he does start reloading...

    Powder measures / Powder throwers question

    I currently have a RCBS Chargemaster so I am not looking for another electronic automatic powder measure. It consistently throws +/- .2 grains most of the time which is acceptable I guess (I double check every charge on an RCBS 505). But I am looking for something a little quicker/hopefully...
