I've only loaded 223 and 308 before and looking to get into loading some pistol loads for plinking. I was talking to someone and they said that 45 cases have different primer pocket sizes, some use LPP and some SPP is that true? If so easiest way to tell the difference? or just eye ball it?

I just recently learned about this Browe BCO optic, while I was pretty set on getting a TA31 or TA11 when the time was right, but now this has popped up. Seems like a really good optic. The founder was Trijicon exec I beleive who left to improve on the ACOG. It is battery operated (down side...

I have some loads that I never got around to shooting, and since then found a load that works better. If I pull these with this Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ? Impact Bullet Puller | Bass Pro Shops 1) will this puller be able to get out a bullet where the case is crimped (223) 2) I would like...

I have some hornady vmax bullets 55gr and using imr 4895 On the imr site they do not have 55gr vmax listed but have 55gr spr.sp listed loads. They have 60gr vmax listed and the COAL is listed as 2.250. That just seems long to me but is that correct? And is the starting load for the 55gr spr.sp...

Finally got my new Timney trigger installed into my AAC-SD to replace the x-mark pro and my God what a world of difference! On my first outting with it, I think I shot one of my best groups! .659-.308= .351 (if that is the correct way to measure groups), but I'm still getting used tot he...

Hi folks, I'm going to look at a Mauser one of my dad's friends has for sale. I have no info on it, never had one before either. So what should I look for when looking at a used rifle, besides rust, smooth(ish) action (depending on age I guess) and the bore? I believe the Mausers wer 8mm...

Was sizing some once fired LC 308 brass, a couple primers wouldn't pop out because of the crimps and then sizing one, and on the down stroke this happened.. Did about 20 or so with no problems before this happened. I got the case out and the rod back into the die, but is it ok to use the...

I'm using a lee collet neck sizing die for some twice fired 308 brass I have from my 700. The brass chambers in the rifle, but the bolt seems a little hard to close. Is that normal because the brass is fired formed to that chamber? or should I go to FL die???? So far only did one piece of brass...

I have some range brass with varying lengths, most under the trim to length for 223. Some as low as 1.73x are these too short to use and should be tossed? Is there an acceptable minimum length? Second part, I picked up some 40gr Hornady bullets for some plinking rounds and have 4064 and...

Here were my first loads shot Powder: Varget, Bullet: 175 SMK, Federal Brass. Rifle: Remington 700 AAC-SD, 20 inch barrel, 1:10 twist. Some one telling me (dif. forum) try 43.2-43.5 (but 43.5 gave about 1 inch group) and 44.3-44.7. Just looking for more input and thought I'd see why you guys...

At the range today, a guy next to me was shooting an AR10, and let me have all of his 308 brass. It seems that all the brass I've looked at so far seem to have a small dent on the body of the brass, underneath the neck that looks to be in the same place on the ones i've looked at all ready. Is...

Here were the conditions: Slight wind going from right to left. Couldn't shoot prone, range doesn't allow that. So had to go bipod with rear bag off of a uneven, wobbly table. I don't think I did too bad shooting off of that table.(at least I hope its not that bad!!) Anyways let me know what you...

Anyone happen to have a discount code for Cabela's? I know there are a bunch of Midway ones out there but can't seem to find one for Cabela. Thanks!

I'm looking for a rifle case that also doubles as a shooting mat. Looking to hopefully spend under 100 or so. Found this one Amazon.com: VISM by NcStar Gun Case Rifle Case/Shooting Mat/Green (CVSM2913G): Sports & Outdoors Or are those combo ones not really worth it? I need something that will...

Anyone ever use one of these? RCBS Primer Pocket Swager Combo 2 was considering one of these or the lyman primer pocket reamers (small and large), just wondering if the above is worth the 12 extra bucks for it. Thanks

Hey folkd, I have about 100 223 range brass from my last trip that I picked up, wondering what is a good all around primer for 223, will be using Varget powder with SMK bullets. Thanks!

Don't have class tomorrow so was going to try to head out to shoot my first reloads (308). I'm very excited to see how they perform, but also a little scared (is that normal) will update if I make it out tomorrow!

Today I loaded my first 40 rounds of .308, my first time reloading ever. Read my manual, as well as asking questions on various forums. I am using a Lee Classic Turret Press with the pro autodisk (which I don't like so far). But I loaded 40 rounds with 175SMK HPBT, starting at 42gr of Varget...

Hey guys, lurked here for a little and thought I'd finally join up! Just picked up a 700 AAC-SD in 308 a couple months ago and love it! Also just started reloading, loaded my first 40 rounds today (308) and still have a lot to learn!
