    Philosophical rambling No 2– sets of previous reloads and their use method

    Most of us have several stacks of carefully reloaded and labeled rifle ammo that we thought was the correct ammo to reload during a brief interlude of mindlessness. Now we find that we have several loadings for a same rifle with some feature (bullet weight, OAL, powder, muzzle velocity, etc.)...

    Prices went up on Hodgdon

    Anyone else notice the prices jumped on the Hodgdon website or is it just me? What was once 26-30$ is now about 40$. I wonder if all these prices will drop again once everything starts to calm down or if they’ll remain the current fixed.

    Shoulder Bump Help

    I’m new to reloading and I’m soon going to start reloading some .338 Lapua and I read about neck sizing and bumping the shoulders back. I know the neck sizing is done on a single die, but is there a die specifically for shoulder bump? Or is it bumped with a FL sizing die? I’m just lost on this.
