    Trying to finish up...what else do I still need?

    My wife bought me a little lyman electronic scale that has a little powder trickler with it. I would advise starting with small batches of reloads first, test them, then continue. When I first began reloading on more than one occasion I did something stupid, like set the seater/crimp die to...

    Modified cases for Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge

    Pretty easy to make with a drill and a tap, or at least it looks like it would be easy.

    Need an answer? was it bulls*** or true?

    If you think of bullet trajectory as a parabolic path and your sight line below the zenith of said path then the bullet crosses your sight line twice. As stated above, with that particular caliber first at fifty yards, then at one hundred yards. So you can sight in at that shorter distance and...

    Rifle Scopes Hard use Recce carbine optic...stumped.

    Unless I am seriously mistaken Mils are not 'metric'. Both mil and moa are radial measurements and there are formulas to use that can give you yards, feet, meters whatever you are comfortable with. The formulas are fairly simple to memorize and I don't think you should be intimidated by...

    Real basic questions

    unfortunately, I have found that reloading pistol ammo with a single stage press is time consuming and laborious at best. It is fun for a while, but soon the novelty wears off. Especially if you shoot a lot. I do like single stage with rifle ammo as there are a few more variables (over all...

    Hunting & Fishing My first bear!

    Mark's bear this year hide is about seven feet long, with the skull done (of course) Is well under five hundred. I know the numbers don't add up but I quoted my taxidermist, not Mark's who is a little more expensive. I even called my guy before I posted because i wanted to be sure. I agree it...

    Hunting & Fishing My first bear!

    I am on the other side of the country but i think the last couple of years bear rug runs about $30.00 a foot. Some people really don't like bear, I think a lot of it has to do with prep. I like to get the fat off and hang it (weather permitting), for as long as I can. couple of weeks if it is...

    Fieldcraft Taped muzzle

    I did not have a poi shift using electrical tape. I have been doing it for years, some of the stuff I have to walk through is thick. On the other hand, at the time I tested it I was happy with an inch and a half group (five) at a hundred with my savage hunting rifle with factory ammo. All...

    Advanced Marksmanship Angled shooting

    I should keep my mouth shut because I am way to new at this to really offer anything to the conversation. That said, over the years I have collected a number of neat gadgets, most of which I do not have a use for. One such gadget I now have a use for. It is a Suunto clinometer and it has...

    New long range shooter here, need advice

    go through all the forum categories and start with reading the stickies, if they have them. There is a wealth of information. HOWEVER, don't try stuff that you don't know about. The reloading stickies are great, but if you don't know what to look for with pressure signs etc. stay at least a...

    What equipment to buy?

    If you shoot a lot of .40 a progressive press is almost a must have. After loading a few hundred single stage you will agree. They are also great for plinking rounds for the .223. It's really nice to have both. I started with a Lee single stage kit that was pretty affordable then (fifteen or...

    1st OCW - Help Please

    my understanding of the ocw test is to find a load that has a little forgiveness, for temp, whatever other uncontrollable variables there are. Your 44.5 area is about the same above and below that charge weight, which I think is exactly what you are looking for. Plus that's what Dan said.
