I'm too lazy and cheap to drive to the store and find out the hard way. Does Walmart sell .22 LR ammo or are they done with all ammo at this point? My store is Greensburg.
Ethanol in gas is truly a scam. It is not something that "comes from the left", etc.. It was put in place to support the price of corn, plain and simple. Big Corn lobbied hard for the now ingrained federal ethanol programs. Yes, we would all be better off for gas cost, gas mileage and...
If you don't have a vent in your traditional sizing die (that is not plugged), you will be very susceptible to this "denting" issue. Yes, you also need to be careful with the amount and type of lube. Also, only bump your shoulder back about 0.002". Excessive sizing can also be a factor. See...
Info on Australian manufacture (by ADI) of popular rifle powders for Hodgdon:

I'm really more saying that people are insane for being willing to pay $175 for 1,000 CCI 450's. The shop can do whatever they want. I have no reason to return there, however.
I stopped in yesterday, 14-JAN-2022 to survey powder and primer pricing at this store. It was my first visit. They had zero Hodgdon powder of any sort and the proprietor said I should go to Australia to find any. Hodgdon powder is made in bulk in Australia then shipped to the US for...
Great conversation. Good to see a knowledgeable shooter/handloader here. I really want to switch to a 6.5 barrel in some flavor, but doesn't make economic sense right now for me (or my spouse). My good ol' .308 has about 3,000 rounds of projected barrel life remaining. Oh, and long barrel...
Compare to the Sierra TMK's (Tipped Matchkings) in 168 and 175g, not the old school, standard Matchking. BC's are significantly higher and even better than the Amax.
I have a Remington 700 5r Milspec in .308 with a 24" barrel. It is 1 in 11.25" twist with 5r rifling. I run 168-178 Amax and Sierra TMK's for bullets with varying amounts of Varget powder in Lapua cases. I absolutely love this rifle. However, if I was going to buy a bolt action now, I'd...
Has anyone ever done this? I am easily finding some spots in the forest via Google maps that could support 1,000 yards. I do know that target shooting is legal in HNF.
My room is very basic and compact. I load only precision .308 on a single stage. I built the table myself. The front overhang is very handy. This is how it looks when I am actively reloading. Powder and bullet stage is shown here.
Gentlemen,
I wrote this in MS Word then did a cut and paste into INGO. Some words got pushed together due to a software bug and I corrected most of them via edit in INGO. Don't fixate too much on the words that are run together. Just pay attention to the content. I tried to write a...
