    Need help with Nosler bullets

    Will I be okay to use this load with a Win. case ? Their case holds 30.1 gr. of H2O vs. 27.5 gr for the Nosler case. Will pressures in Win. case be higher with the same powder charge? Sorry for the dumb questions but I am a rookie reloader. - You can call me RR !

    Need help with Nosler bullets

    My Hornady Reloading Manual shows 23.3 gr of H335 and a Hornady 52 gr BTHP bullet as a mild load. Can I substitute the bullet with a Nosler 52 gr HPBT bullet with the same powder charge?

    Need help with Nosler bullets

    I am trying to find out how much H335 powder to use in Win .223 cases with Nosler HPBT 52 gr bullets. the Nosler website only shows data for Nosler cases, 24.0 gr as a starting load. Winchester brass has more capacity i.e. 30.1 gr H2O vs. 27.5 for Nosler. Just looking for a starting load. Thanks...

    77/17

    My Ruger 77/17 shoots as great as it looks! It really is extremely well finished, all I did was replace the trigger sear and spring with a Volq. kit. Took 15 minutes - well worth the $30.00 All in all a very fine rifle. Get one, you will be happy!

    New Reloader

    Sorry for dumb question, but as a new reloader I am trying to learn from people with experience. I just bought some Winchester brass ( new ). Do I need to resize these cases before reloading them ? Does the neck need to be expanded ? It seems to be quite tight when I try to hand feed a bullet...

    Switch primer ?

    I am new to reloading and want to learn about changing primers. Presently I am loading for a 223 with Win. brass and Win. small rifle primers, 20.8 gr. of H335 with a 55 gr. Hornady V-Max. My question is can I substitute CCi or Federal primers in place of the Win. primers?

    Remington 700 VTR 223

    I am looking to buy a first time center fire rifle. The Remington 700 VTR 223 catches my eye. Is this a good starter rifle re: accuracy and barrel life? Most of my shooting will be from 100 - 300 yds. Low recoil is necessary due to shoulder problems. I already have a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 scope...

    Ruger 7717 trigger

    My new Ruger 7717 had a trigger that felt like I was pulling a cork from a wine bottle! A new sear from Volquartsen installed in 20 minutes took a 61/2 lb. pull to 23/4 lb. Wow! What a difference ! Looking forward to a trip to the range tomorrow! I am betting groups will shrink. What say you?

    New Ruger 7717

    I just received my new Ruger 7717, nice gun ! I find the trigger to be too heavy. What do you folks recommend, TB Timney or can this be changed by a gunsmith. Other than that this is a really nice gun!
