The Berger bullet did not expand, passed straight through, poor shot area 'but' with a 300 grain bullet it should have done some damage. This is a problem with Berger's (not looking for an argument) Four years ago my son put me on a bull elk, 300 yds. shot 5 times in the bread basket the elk did...

I am 61 years old, I have seen 'shortages' for 40 years now. All the excuses for not meeting supply demand I have been hearing for at least 40 years. It's was, new people getting into the sport buying all the supplies, we bought components for making bullets, powder etc.. from China and China...

Update; sent primers back to Winchester, called today for update they said they are sending me a check for the cost of the primers. I made it very clear I just wanted the primes to be replaced, they said NO. They are only sending checks they are using all their primers to load their own...

Loaded 40 test rounds for 7mm Remington Mag. 9 out of the rounds did not fire, primer dented but no powder ignition. Unloaded the rounds and looked at them under magnifier the anvil was still there but 5 of the 9 you could put a toothpick down one side of the anvil past where the charge would...

The eternal question, which is better Chevy or Ford (when everyone knows it's a Dodge)! I shot Bergers several years ago, 300 Winchester mag. 185 VLD Hunting, the short version, I hit a bull elk 6 times at 300 yds, it stayed standing for 5 of the shots. As the herd moved away it dropped about 50...

Question: is the chamber on my new barrel cut correct, to long, to short? New Kreiger barrel 270 WSM Once fired cases measured headspace: 1.7525 (shortest), 1.7620 (longest) trying to bump the shoulder back about 3 thousands. Settled on 1.7600 headspace. When I put the case into a resizing...

I do genealogy for my family and can trace my roots back to the Revolutionary War. I can find birth, death, land records, newspaper articles and sometimes even pictures. But what is almost impossible to find is WHO they were what they valued what was their life like, (although from records you...

Thanks to all..........lowered the powder to minimum load thanks MudRunner2005 spaced my shell holder so no loose cases, thanks MagnumManiac and Bigedp51. Went out shooting today very happy with results I can start fire forming and load development now. My old man used to say things get real...

Just so I have this right.........when I put an unfired and UNSIZED case in I should have some resistance ........and I do just a bit tight. But I FL resize my cases before I load them the first time for uniformity after that I do NOT have any resistance. Should I not resize them out of the bag...

22-250 AI new barrell Reloading for a new barrel, my question is; will the maximum powder load be anywhere near book maximum load with the bullet jammed in? How to fire form better? I tried to fire form by following Noslers suggestion for the 22-250 AI as follows; Loaded a standard 22-250 case...

How are you using this? Looking through the scope as you move it? Thanks for your input.........Earl

According to Leupold this scope is fine. Looking for suggestions on what to try next, short of throwing it away. Particulars: Leupold VX3 6.5 X 20 X 50 mm Long Range Scope 110 AccuBond bullets 270 WSM 100 yard target Used Brian Litz suggestion on checking out a scope by drawing a perpendicular...

Have a 22-250 rem. model 700, 1:14 twist, had planned to rebarrel for 1:7 or 1:8 twist for accuracy and long range shooting 95% of the time at coyotes, 5% time/chance at a wolf. Currently shoot a 55 gr. V-max. 55 gr. V-max not large enough for wolves (general opinion). Looking at available...

Seating 7mm Berger bullets. Nosler brass. Hornady Custom Grade Full Length die, Series 1. Question is as I seat the bullet on some cases the bullet seems to drag as it goes into the neck. Most go in smoothly but every 6 or 7th case they become hard to seat. I assume this will affect velocity...
