Has anyone done any real world testing between Lapua 308 brass and starline? In my weight test they seem close. Both held an equal about of ball powder when filled to the case mouth. My loads of Lapua and Lake City LR brass are interchangeable, I'm thinking starline will be as well, hope to...
Mostly use a 300 BO last few years, but I'm finding its just too short range. 150 yards shots is just too far.
Over the years:
223. Mixed results. Some run, sometimes bang flip.
25-06. Killing machine
308. Does fine, just boring
300 BO. Keep your shots short
44 mag. Short range, big...
Better find a new favorite powder. Power Valley list this as discontinued. Hopefully H4895 stays. I like it 10 times better, but sad to see a classic go.
Started playing with new hornady dies for 41 Remington mag. Went to resize a case and it wasn't even close to fitting. Tried putting some lube on it, still no dice. Called hornady, Tech working from home. Asked me to send pic with calipers showing ID of die. .425". Saami shows .434" mouth...
How much does a smith charge to fix the timing in a revolver? Does shaving JHP and depositing chunks of jacket outside/on the forcing cone sound like a timing issue? Thanks.

I have LilGun and H110.
I'm open to other bullet weights but I want this for deer hunting so I prefer heavy bullets.
Thanks
Reading other fourms where no one can find varget in stock. A quick check of midway, midsouth, and powder valley all show out of stock. H4895 is low too. If your local gun store has some, and you can't live without it, grab some. If your finding it's too late, N140 is great powder.
Want to say hi. I live in Garrett county, an active member of Fort hill rifle and pistol club, I have a NRA master classification in service rifle and long range and you will see me advertising our match schedule from time to time. My user name is my job title, and that may come in handy for...
