      Suppressor Cleaning

      I noticed something new from bore tech. Suppressor guys may be interested. I have no experience with it. https://www.boretech.com/products/decimator-suppressor-cleaning-system

      I know they weren't all that popular but I noticed Hodgdon is showing IMR Red, Green, Blue, and Target as discontinued

      Leverevolution

      Range tested Leverevolution yesterday in my 250AI. Used 75 gr Hammer Hunters. I found, 1, 100 fps faster than other powders tested. 2, Unis Ginex primers are far more consistent and accurate than CCI in my rifle. I got 3635 fps and ES of 1. I wasn't maxed out but was getting close. I've got to...

      Powder Humidity

      I found this an interesting view, especially for MD weather. I had no idea it could make such a large difference. Interesting results, 200+ fps and 10,000 psi variations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzDHRwi3QVk

      Bad primers?

      Today at the range I was testing loads in 7x57AI and 284 Win. I was using CCI 250, lot number A21V32 primers. One case in each 3 shot group had a pierced primer. I have fired 40 rounds with these earlier in the week with hotter loads in hotter conditions. These loads were slightly lowered and...

      Hammer Bullets

      Has anyone used Hammer bullets for hunting? If so, what are your thoughts on their performance? I know they are pricey but I only plan to shoot a few a year after load development. I'll be using them in 257 and 7mm calibers.

      New Creedmoor powder?

      Been playing with quickload and a few newer powders were added. Decided to try Leverevolution in 6.5 Creedmoor and using my son's rifle and case data I found some interesting data. Seems this is a perfect fit for 6.5CM. He shoots 127 gr LRX Barnes but the max load of Lever yields 2887fps, 98%...

There were numerous presses including MEC, rcbs, herters, pacific, Lyman, and lee. Boxes full of dies. One box full of just...

      Scammers

      While searching for primers online I came across a couple sites showing seller and bellot primers for sale. The tip off was they would only accept bitcoin, western union, and cash app for payment. After some investigating I found they had scammed thousands from people buying guns and primers...

      Discontinued Powder

      While shopping last night I noticed Hodgdon discontinued IMR-4320 powder. They also stopped H-414 but Winchester 760 which is the same powder is still available. No sense in the same powder with different labels when you own both I guess.

      Reloading manual

      I noticed Nosler has a new number 9 reloading manual but it is out of stock everywhere and no download option yet like the number 8 had. Has anyone seen it?

      350 Legend

      Just starting to reload for the 350 Legend. Found some Hornady 170 gr SP bullets and Starline brass. I hit the range with some Winchester factory ammo to try out. It was pretty conservative at 2250 fps and I'm sure handloads will do about 2500 fps. ES was 40 and SD was 17.8. Accuracy was 1" @...

      IMR Enduron

      Recently I've been working on loads for my 250ai, 257ai, and 7x57ai rifles using Enduron powders. A few observations I thought I'd share. I used IMR-4166, 4451, and 4955 powders. They seem to become more accurate as you approach max loads and ES SD numbers get better also, often single digits...

      Bore Cleaner

      I've tested many bore cleaners like many folks and found a few that worked well. I picked up a bottle of Flitz bore cleaner and just finished trying it on 2 rifles. Granted, they only had 20-30 rounds thru them but 30 strokes with a bronze brush and then dry patched and perfectly clean as...

      Powder Temp Sensitivity

      I emailed Western Powders asking about temp sensitivity of their Ramshot line of powders and received the following reply. Most of our powders are not insensitive, and will show some effect at hot and cold temperatures. However, we test at -40F and +125F and the deviation in most cases are...
