I've always loved Remington 700's. I've never owned one that I couldn't get to shoot well. I remember the days when you could buy a new BDL for around $135. Well, those days are long gone. I'm considering buying another new one. Do the new ones shoot as well as the old ones? For a short...

I was wondering which powder would be better in building an accuracy load for a 300 Win. Mag., 180 grains. It seems like most people are using H4350 rather than IMR....on these forums. Perhaps I am wrong on that. I appreciate your advice. I need to try a new powder. I'm having a heck of a...

I've never been on a guided hunt in my life, but I'd love to make a caribou hunt. Any suggestions on where or who to book a hunt with. I was wondering about cost these days. I pulled a horse trailer all the way from Montana to the North Slope years ago. My family and I used that trailer...

I made it to town yesterday with hopes of finding some H 1000, or R-22 powder. I've been looking for some Accu-bond 200 grain bullets too. Well, as usual I couldn't find any of that. I did find some Retumbo powder. I need to start working up a new load for my 300 Win Mag. I was using...

I'll bet many of you order from Midway. I just ordered a Timney trigger for my Remington 700 rifle, and some Accu-bond bullets. Anybody have a guess on how long a wait time a person might have. Both are back ordered. I was also going to order some RL-22 powder somewhere. Anybody know of a...

In 1968 I was 17 years old and had been reloading for a few years. As long as I didn't blow the house up, my Dad said it was okay. I figured I was going to be the next Jack O'connor and spent all my free time hunting in Western Montana. I took a picture of a big buck I shot with a Hornady...

I did some shooting yesterday, trying to find an accurate load. I know my loads are getting too hot, but my rifle seems to group the best with my hottest load. (At least with that powder and bullet). The temperature is increasing outdoors. Yesterday was like our warmest day all...

I've got several Remington 700's. A while back I took the trigger assemblies off and mailed them to a guy and had them adjusted. They came back with a wonderful pull. I can't recall the guy's address..... I thought I had my 300 W. M. done too but it is definitely a lot more pull than my...

I watched a you-tube video yesterday on pressure signs. The main thing shown was to watch for any form of shininess on the case head. At the first sign of this, one is supposed to back off a half a grain. The problem is that both my 300 Win. Mag. and 270 both shoot the most accurately near...

I'd like to try Berger Bullets. I've heard that they are so pointed that a normal seating die doesn't work very well. I'm just wondering if regular RCBS or Lee dies will work okay. I've heard that Redding sells a plunger that will screw into most seating dies. Anyone have any experience with...

I'm like everyone else who buys reloading supplies.....sometimes I stock up, when I can find it. I'm just wondering what the best practice is to store this stuff.....I've been storing my primers and powders in air tight ammo boxes. Do you think something else is needed in each box to absorb...

I was wondering how these bullets would do beyond 500 yards....

I'm just wondering what weight bullet, that the military uses in the 300 Winchester Magnum. Do they have a boat tail? All this talk about Ballistic Coefficient bullets as created a mountain of questions in my head.....

Could someone explain this to me more fully? I'm beginning to realize that a bullet that shoots flat and accurately out to 100 yards may fail miserably at longer ranges. I've been shooting 140 grain, semi-boat tail in 270. What would fly better at say 700 yards. Pardon my ignorance on all this.

I'd like to test my rifle out to see how much it will drop at longer ranges. Pacing off 100 yard increments isn't the most accurate way. I was thinking I could measure off increments of distance with a carpenter's tape, but that might take forever. I don't have a range finder yet. A GPS is...

I know most people who reload, a lot, tumble or clean their brass. I've been reloading since the 60's and have never had any problems using so called dirty brass. I know I'm no expert by any means, so please enlighten me on this. I do wipe my brass with resizing lube, and wipe them again...

In ranging a deer or elk, I was wondering what measurements you use. For years I've been told that a deer is about 18 inches from the top of the back to the bottom of the chest. I'd bet mule deer would be closer to twenty inches. That would make the math simpler too. I've never taken a...

I like to load my bullets out to almost touch the rifling on most of my rifles (for accuracy). I usually load 130 grain bullets for my 270. My Remington 700 has a fairly long throat. The only real problem is that there isn't the full length of the neck gripping the bullet. After resizing the...

I like everything about my new Vortex, FFP scope, (with long range reticle) but I'm worried about being able to see the fine cross hairs in low light. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have bought the illuminated reticle now. Has anyone else had trouble with this, or have any suggestions...

I was wondering what vest you would suggest for packing AR-15 magazines. Things have changed so much since I was in the military, that I have a lot to learn. Back in the day we used magazine pouches that fit on a pistol belt. I know there are better systems now. When the Zombies attack I...
