    About 3 months late. Any word if there are patches still available?

    50 Cal? INSANE?

    I cannot comment on the sanity of Eric "The Dark Lord" Cartmann, but I've been on the range in competition against Shoots100 during matches for 50's only. Several things to dis-spell the old wives tales: A properly shouldered 50 recoils no more than a pump 3"mag 12ga. with BB goose loads...

    Alternative .408 bullets

    Dogtown, What powder/ load range are you using for the CE MTH U03's? I purchased a few boxes from them at the GA Outdoor Show in PA last month and because of inclement weather have time to spend at the loading bench. I did not see a mention of the T50 Solid Copper LR 400gr (from HSM) as a...

    M1A/M14 Powder

    Pinecone, I would recommend staying with IMR 4895 as your reference powder. Varget is the most commonly used powder by several of my HP Shooting team members. VV N550 did not appear to give me any clear advantage over the 4895. You did not specify what projectile you intended to use. I am...

    Ideal .50BMG setup

    Strykervet, Advise down this thread is good, but I can add some more information which may save you a few bucks. I shoot regularly at FCSA matches (.50 BMG & members only), and have brought home the wood. Shoots100 (a SH regular) also can provide accurate information if he chimes in. For...

    Reloader 22 is it scarce everywhere?

    Story about the same up here in the NE. I've been waiting on a back order from December 2012 for RE-7 & Retumbo! No delivery date available yet from distributor. . Not for hoarding purposes mind you, but to resupply my annual consumption of powder. Getting frustrated checking in every week for...

    annealing question

    Patrick021, I would disagree with joe on the first step because of a technical issue. I only deprime the brass prior to cleaning, then anneal and then move on to the resizing process. When resizing, you are working the brass (cold forming). If it has become brittle with prior use, the...

    I just dont get it... You would think components would be back in stock by now !

    No offense taken. Just putting it out there since I got a similar look from people at the gas station during the "cash for clunkers scam" as I filled up my truck. I was rudely criticized by some righteous know-it-all for having the audacity to drive a "gas guzzler".

    I just dont get it... You would think components would be back in stock by now !

    TB2Blazer, 5lbs. of powder is cutting it close for a single loading session, since the average load is near 230grs. for my 50 BMG. So I can't criticize someone for buying 16lbs. of powder in that category. A 408CT consumes over 130grs. ! Now if your loading a .223 or .458SOCOM, 1lb. can go a...

    I just dont get it... You would think components would be back in stock by now !

    Laddering a load until you've tweaked it for precision is a ball buster! Once on top, why throw out the best recipe that works, only to start from scratch all over again?

    I just dont get it... You would think components would be back in stock by now !

    Gentlemen, Why all the screaming and name calling at each other? Is one wrong for purchasing goods that they know will be consumed over the course of time at a lower price now than in the near future because of greed & panic? Yes or no? Figure this, in 2002 I paid $28/500 pkg of CCI 35...

    Knesek Guns

    msmith64, Have all your paperwork in order. Do not delay, and keep badgering them until the order is filled to your satisfaction. Contact Larry Knesek directly, do not accept talking to anyone else. I will gladly discuss my dealings with KGI once all the dust settles.

    Chey Tac M200 in 375ct or Thor M375

    Take Tribebreaker's advice. STAY AWAY from Knesek Guns Inc. & Thor Industries! He speaks the truth. I am still waiting for products purchased from Larry Knesek, who finds some new excuse why the products have not been shipped every time I call. (Waaay longer than his dated posting above.) Now...

    408 Cheytac Brass

    Thanks for the info. I have been (in my words) a real PIA gleaning information from both of them. Bill & his people highly recommend using RMB projos in his firearms. Bill currently is in the process of having a U.S.M.C. digi-cam finish applied to my rifle. Forced to sit on the sidelines until...

    Inexpensive Bullet For 30-06 Deer and Elk hunting?

    I have to agree with Graham: You will have to work up a load with whatever projectile you choose. Yes, a box of 100 will provide you with plenty to do this, plus a few hunting seasons worth. (Unless you are attacked by a herd of rabid elk and forced to defend yourself! Ha Ha.) I have used...

    Are .50 Cal cases from WWII still reloadable?

    I still use the RCBS 50BMG reloading press with modified RCBS dies. Straight line presses such as Hollywood and CH4D's Rock Crusher are much more expensive, of which I haven't found any advantage in my end product. CH4D offers variable bushing resizing dies, and Viersco (Black Diamond Rifles)...
