    Federal Gold Medal Match Primers

    Just wondering, as I do have a supply sufficient for a couple of more years, but what has happened to the supply of FGMM #210M? And the rest of the FGMM line? Are all of the older, more experienced workers on strike, dead, dedicated to other tasks, etc? I can't seem to find them on any of my...

    Full Length Resizing

    Idiot question, but I need an answer anyway. I am full length resizing my Winchester 270 Win cases on a RCBS Rockchucker using RCBS full length sizing dies. I have used Imperial resizing lube on each case. I am just bumping the shoulder back. This is the second time I have resized these...

    What Is The Turn Around Time On The Remington 700 Trigger Recall?

    I was told 12 weeks as well by Remington. Was thinking about the Timney route, but I checked to see where the repairs were being done. I am in Texas and there is only 1 repair center in Texas. LSG, Inc. in Comanche, Texas run by a gunsmith named Frank Smith. Comanche is on the way to my deer...

    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    Lash Thanks for the information. I'll look into the 510/517 models because I do like the feel of the Timneys and they seem to be better able to handle the dust/dirt issue that one seems to get with a gun that hunts as opposed to a Jewel that might be better suited for the benchrest only rifles...

    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    My 700 5R was on the recall list. I called Remington CS to question turnaround time and was told "around 12 weeks". That was too long and could easily turn into 12 months once the "lazy" hunting crowd finally tunes in and finds out about the recall. I asked if there were any other options and...

    Federal GMM Primers 210M

    Thanks for the guidance. Looks like I'll try the Federal 210s and the CCI BR2s both and see if there is a noticeable difference with either.

    Federal GMM Primers 210M

    What is the equivalent primer in another brand to the Federal Gold Medal Match primer? (210M) This would be the large rifle, non-magnum primer. I had the great fortune to listen to a gentleman when beginning to reload and he told me to use these primers and to purchase around 5000. I thought...

    270 WSM New Unfired Brass

    Found the Norma WSM at Brownell's. Thanks for the heads up and I hope it works fine. All my previous experience has been with Lapua in 308 and I had heard the Norma brass was "soft" so my initial attempts were to stay away from it. I'm all in with Norma though at this time.

    270 WSM New Unfired Brass

    Has anybody seen/heard/found a supplier of 270 WSM New Unfired Brass? I'm looking for some. I prefer Winchester, but Federal would work. I have no history with Nosler and am unsure about it. Any suggestions?

    Range Incident

    There must have been some trauma to the inside of her mouth. The muffled report must have come from the exhaust of the gases down through the magazine. And the only "failed" part I saw was the total destruction of the magazine. The barrel and action appeared fine, but frozen. While I wasn't...

    Range Incident

    I policed the brass and placed it in the cab of the truck before they left. Wish I had looked at it harder or kept one of the casings. I remember it as being factory but cannot be sure. Is this a common thing? I have been shooting and hunting for 50 years, reloading for 3, and have never...

    Range Incident

    I had a very unusual incident happen yesterday at the range. I was shooting at the 100 yard range with several other people. To my left, and at the end bench was a couple shooting a rifle. I only saw the woman shooting. The rifle was strapped into a rest with rubber feet. I waited to post...

    6MM Remington (.244)

    I have an old 6MM Remington (.244) made in the late 60's. It is obviously a factory gun with no improvements or modifications and shoots (around 1 MOA at 100 yds) well and I wanted to shoot it more and start reloading for it. The dies are not the issue I am running into, its the cartridge...

    What to do with brass?

    De-prime, then tumble, then neck size. I'm not a BR shooter, but I'd like all the bullets to go through the same hole, if possible. Maybe I'm a bit anal?

    Check out this Yeti cooler

    Best damn cooler made. And the price tag to match. But for a 4 day Texas dove hunt in 100 degree heat there is nothing that even comes close. Mine is a 120, and white, most of these pics are tan. I thought the white color would help repel the heat but seeing how they work and I don't think...
