      Quick question: My cousin gave me a bucket full of .30-06 SP reloaded for M-1 Garand on enblocs. I always want to check powder load and bullet weighton anything I don't load myself, so pulled some. He said it was loaded with IMR 4064. Weigh and bullet were good for that use. However, the...

I suggested $10 per and they should move quickly. Now it doesn't do any of us in MD any good but if...

      How much trouble did I cause myself

      OK, I just found a .357 S&W 19-3 K-frame. Years ago I 'inherited' a load of reloading stuff, .357 bullets and cases. Trying to get started with the .357 reloading. Checked one box of casings, checked the first 5-6, all within spec. Sized, primed them all. Part way thru, I see something is...

      .300 Blk question for subsonic

      I am fairly new to reloading. In slowly upgrading some equipment I was given, I recently added a chronograph. I really got to check some .38spl that i thought might be hot, reloaded from the Lyman book. An it indeed comes in at just under +p velocities. That aside, I have some reloaded...

      Failure to fire: savage .17hmr

      As said, I have a Savage .17 hmr that has started to have F to Fire issues. Re-cock and it goes off but it gives the groundhogs a second chance. :innocent0 Anyone having similar issues? Any chance this could be a spring issue or just needing a major cleaning. Gun is more that 15yrs and has...

      .300 B/O 220gr RN soft point?

      This has most likely been discussed but I could not find it so... Will these feed in an AR type upper. I'm just getting started reloading for my new .300 B/O. I have 220gr Sierra match but nothing in SP. There doesn't seem to be many choices for anything subsonic. I have 150-165 Sierra...

      Help with a Victory

      I have a S&W Victory made for Commonwealth service in .38S&W. The cylinder was rebored to except .38 spl cartridges in England before it 'came' home. I've understood that it will still except and shoot .38S&W (in fact it should shoot it better than .38spl). I've been looking for .38S&W off...

      Well, yestarday I shot my first groudhog while using my Spectre can on a Savage .17HMR. I had tested it and did a quick POI check and found that it made things a lot quieter.
