    Berger Boolits

    HI guys, I have been shooting and reloading for a bit but want to really take it up a notch. I have found that in my custom 300wm, 210g Berger bullets work well over 68.9g of RL22. I have been loading the rounds to .005" off my lands. I have heard that Berger bullets like to be jammed into...

You can also get pigments for gelcoat to make the base color into what ever you want.....then buy a Prival sprayer ($5 at home depot) which will get you a decent air...

    Redding seating micrometer question

    Just curious if I was wasting the extra $100 on a die (the new 308 die) that wont perform or function any better than one that I already have the (300win mag die).....I am not made of money as most of us are not so saving a few sheckles is always worth it

    Redding seating micrometer question

    I already have the Redding VLD Bullet Seating Micrometer #9179 which I use on 210 berger and 190g SMK for my 300win mag. My question is why cant i use it on seating a 168g smk for a .308 gas gun? I noticed that Midway has 2 seating micrometers recommended...one for the 308 and the other for...

    Annealing: Salt Bath vs Flame/Torch method

    I think you hit the nail on the head and got it exactly correct. I like the idea of the salt bath because if you want something to be a certain temp then just dip it into a liquid that is that temp and BAM...you got that thing at the temp you want. The brass can never get hotter than the...

    22 hornet loads

    What is the hottest you can run a 22 hornet? I have this crazy thought that I want to hunt coyote with it. Mind you I live and hunt out west so 300 to 500 yard shots is fairly common. What sort of range can you expect out of that round? What is the heaviest round you can run and get some decent...
