Found this spot loaded with bear sign two weeks ago and set a camera just checked it and elk. Cool but darn One decent 5x5. Maybe I can shoot him next year

Agreed impressive glass

Magnum mike did a action bed and barrel float. Scope mount. He took forever but was moving locations so that hurt He should me some muzzle breaks he had just done. I could not tell the point where the break started on the barrel. Excellent We started talking long ranch and he quickly advanced beyond my ability to keep up

So I understand that this is me putting to much lib on. Correct? So I took the die apart and cleaned it up. So my question is should I spray lube into the case. Because when just applying spray to outside the press stick considerably when resizing. To point I was nervous I'd get one stuck I got a case lube instead of spray but I must have used to much even though I thought I was light. Dented worse. Pic is the worst one. Others are lighter Any magic formula. Or just keep playing with it? Can i use these dented cases while I'm working up new loads or will they have a negative effect? Thanks

Thanks

Thx

Is that the mark in the one picture. Looks like three lines?

I'm not an expert on the differnt models. Can you help me understand which these are? I know they aren't the hd Then they had a NEU with black hinge Then I think a WB with black hinge So are these prior to that? Thanks. I'm interested just want be clear on the model

So lots of you have helped with advice on getting started reloading. I was using my buddies stuff. But this off my own new table and gear Here is my first results 270 win hornady interlock sp 150 grn imr 4350 52 grn hornady new brass win primer Nice three shot group off a rest a 100gr And then one strange flyer on the fourth round any thoughts on what I did to create that? Second load was also decent 270 win 150 grn hornady sp interlock win primer imr 4350 50.8 grn Sub Moa 3 rds

Floated and bedded. Bell and Carlson stick I just did col to the hornady book Should out or in or does it matter?

Ok. I'm a novice. I built my table this weekend and set my press I have a hornady powder measure and I degreased it in full. Set it and I'm running imr 4350 and its stick powder and it seems to bind like some powder kernels are getting jammed and binding it when I charge the handle. Causes inefficient loads I read some forums that said they had issues with stick powder I disassembled cleaned again. And same issue Seems odd to have your measure dictate the type of powder you use Am I making a rookie mistake?

Thx mule packer I called hornady today. They said. It happens with stick powder and I should tap the cylinder on the way up and the way down I said it seems odd that the machined the funnel wider than the cup so there was a gap that woul F catch powder. They said they did because the powder measure works with some of their other components Anyway. I'm only loading rifle so far so I'm not in s rush. I will take me time and try to be precise Thx for the tip on Lee

So if you chuck the powder measure what do you use?

Thanks for that!

So some of you may have read my early post about loading for the first time at a buddy's house. Well I got the bug. And using someone's gear is uncomfortable sometimes so.... I bought the hornady Classic kit today for $269 at cabelas. I know it's entry level but $110'off and 500 free bullets seemed to good to pass up So I need a tumbler and some other fixings but what have you guys learned over the years that are next best items I should start looking for? Prep and trim tools? Which calipers work best ? Digital it's or dial? Are their manufactures that are consistently good and others to avoid Thanks for any tips Tables? I think I will most likely just build something to fit my works space

So I built my table today. Nice and sturdy. I'm sitting in front trying to figure where to mount my powder measure so the process flows. I will mount the press on the corner so it's stable I think I will get a stand for the powder measure I'm going to load 243 7mm-08 270 and 30-06 so far. Maybe some .45 I think from what I've read I will neck size mostly so the head space is tighter and then less trimming Need calipers and a tumbler I hear a tool for measuring where the rifle threads start is helpful too The hornady book was awesome to read

What size wheels?

Seems like most people use tumblers instead of sonic cleaners. I thought maybe the sonic would clean the inside of the brass better but maybe that's not needed?

This is going to be fun

So I finally got a quad after years of beating up my truck and legs I will still hike a lot I enjoy it but found 1988 hOnda fourtrax 300 4x4 from original owner $900. Looks to be in excellent shape So I'm trying to decide if I should make it street legal and license as such I will only use on dirt roads but it sure is confusing as to what is considered a dirt road that I actually need to be street legal on Any advice on this issue or stories of tickets? Thx

Don't need one yet. But was wondering any one had a good shop in n phx I have an old Honda and north valley Honda said its to old for the, to work on

So after years of beating up my truck and hiking into my spots I'm looking to add a quad to the garage Don't have the funds yet but looking to buy used in the 2500 to 3000 range Does anyone have any advice on what to avoid or look for? Like sportsman or Foreman or how are can am or grizzly How important is carb or efi if I hunt up north? 4x4 seems like a must How many hours or miles should I stay away from I'm 6' 215. So can I get by with a 450cc. I'm sure I'm a couple months away from a purchase as I squirrel away the cash but thanks for any thoughts

Guy in my neighborhood had this quad as original owner. Bought for $900 from him Clean and well maintained. Even for an old dog 1988 Honda fourtrax 300 4x4 My pup jumped right on ready to bird hunt

Ok so I'm clear. I fix my error of seating depth and start with a standard depth and then more the bullet out from there until I find a happy length? It what increments do I change seat depth? And with this other variable. How should I adjust amount of powder? I mean I settle on amount of powder and then tinker with seat depth I guess I'm wondering how to manage to many variable changes at one time I understand I need to trim brass and clean primer hole Set and measure bullet seat depth each time But if I'm changing seat depth and powder amount at the same time I suppose I wint know what actually working So should I focus on one change before the other Thanks

Sorry what is oacl?
