      .223 bolt gun choices

      I am considering a bolt action rifle chambered in .223 rem caliber for building up my target practice skills from 200 yards and maybe up to 600. I would also have the opportunity to shoot some varmints at a couple of family farms (not sure on reasonable distances, I guess whatever the target...

      Boeshield T-9 anyone?

      I have used Boeshield T-9 as my favorite penetrating lubricant / protectant on all my tools and hardware the past several years and love it. The woodworking world gives it great reviews on tools for rust protections as well. It does a better job than WD40 at everything WD does. Anyone have...

      .243 Rifle Barrel question

      I was reading that .243 winchester is hard on rifle barrels. What experience do people here have with making their barrels last? Do you lose accuracy if you load a lighter charge? Also from 6mmbr.com: A few folks have been experimenting with the use of very slow, cooler-burning powders...

      Chuck Hawks?

      I have heard some strong opinions about Chuck Hawks over the years. Anyone else use his website as a source of info? I have found it to be quite useful over the past few years.

      Time and Energy spent Cleaning Primer Pockets?

      I don't see a lot of information on this question out there and I appreciate the opinions and experiences here. How much do people fuss with cleaning and sizing primer pockets and flash holes? I am guessing this will be like sorting brass: most don't for pistol and plinking, some do because...

      Next Survey: Vibratory cleaner vs Ultrasonic

      Thanks ahead for your opinions and experience. Anyone have a strong preference for case cleaner? Anyone pop out primers first? Anyone try a generic ultrasonic cleaner? I suspect some of the jewelry and general purpose ultrasonics are extremely similar to some of the overpriced ones with...

      Survey: Who sorts their brass by brand prior to reloading?

      As a new reloader I was reading that its best to keep all components the same while working up a load. I am guessing that its okay to use mixed brass with mild to medium loads for practice/ plinking. But I anticipate wanting some consistent and accurate loads so I plan on keeping them sorted...

      Chronograph as a judge of reloads?

      I see a lot of well reviewed chronographs out there in the $100 range. Anyone think using a chrono is a good way to judge their reloads? I was thinking that if I get unexpected high velocities for any certain load that I would know to make an adjustment for less power. Do you think velocity...

      Judging crimps on reloads

      Still trying to gather more knowledge about crimping. How do you judge the amount of crimp you are applying to straight wall cases like .45 ACP and 9mm Luger? It seems like such an important step that can greatly change pressures, but i haven't found enough info in my reading yet.

      38 special brass question

      Does anyone know if 38 special brass is any different than 38 special +P brass? I have some of each, and was wondering if they reload the same. Another way to ask the question is could I load 38 special brass to +P standards? I am shooting thru a .357 mag revolver so it can handle all of the...
