I bought me a new handgun back before Christmas but haven't been able to get out to the range to give it a good break in. Finally got out Monday with my new Springfield SA-35 9mm. I shot a couple if mags in the back yard to make sure everything functioned correctly and it did. At the range I...
Tomorrow's turkey cooking day. Got two big ol turkeys thawed out fixing to get a good bit of creole butter injected. Spent the morning cleaning up the deep fryer pot and checking the tanks for propane. Nothin' like deep fried turkey. The wife fixed up a buttermilk pie, a pecan pie, and two...
Yesterday I was at the firearm counter looking at handguns. Some of the new 9mms that hold +20 rounds sure are cool. But, I had to handle a new Kimber 1911 that was just a basic carry gun. When I first handled it something seemed amiss. It had all the checkered stuff and ruff grip to make it...
Could someone run this load through quickload and see what pops up. This load shot a very small group and I'd like to see how close the edge that it is running. Average Muzzle Velocity is 2998 fps.

I went out this morning to shoot three rifles. My 220 Swift and my 22-250 I was just shooting to form brass for future projects. Factory stuff for the 250 and cheap bullets with the Swift. I was also trying out the new Jard trigger I installed in the No 1 Swift. If you have a No 1, you...
This evening I was laying out components to load up some rounds with IMR 4451 and I noticed it really stunk. I looked closer at the container and noticed a rusty looking residue around the cap and on the top layer of powder. When I shook the bottle it settled off. I loaded up a ladder test of...
FedEx brought me 2000 large rifle primers this morning so I'm back in business. First up is working up a load for my Rem 700 Varmint 22-250. I have Nosler 50gr BT, 50gr Speer Varminter, and 52gr Sierra Match HP. Could someone run out quick loads for me. Much thanks in advance. I've had this...
I just need to give Leupold customer service a big thumbs up. Back in October I got the old "Rem 700 Bob" out of the cabinet having not fired the rifle in a good many years. I could not rotate the power selector on the Vari-X IIc 3-9. Sent it off to Leupold on Oct 12th. Got it back today...
I've been loading for the 222 for a couple of years but have not resized any cases. I have been neck sizing only. Today I went to resize some cases and the pics attached are the result. Could I assume the resizing die is at issue? I found the issue full length sizing some new Winchester...
Hocul signed a bill outlawing toy guns that look too real, what exactly is that going to accomplish. Lots of guns out there painted pink, purple, orange, and red.
I am going to get a little more precise in my .220 Swift loading and have a question having never used specialized sizing dies. I am looking at a body die to bump the shoulder back when needed and a bushing die for neck sizing. My question, does using a body die actually help extend case...
Made it out to New Mexico for some coyote calling this week hunting in the Lincoln National Forest. This fur ball came into a western kingbird sound and the #1 220 Swift put him down. I hit him facing with a 50 gr Speer soft point hitting him center chest with no exit. The weather's been...
