For many years before i was a reloader, i would buy factory ammo, all brands, and save the brass because “someday i was going to reload.” Well i did and I’ve been reloading now for about 5 or 6 years. I shoot a 270 Win. I recently decided to use a bag of Hornady brass that i had collected and...
I recently finished my first semi-custom rifle build using a Tikka 270 and a ridiculously light stock carbon/fiberglass stock from Wildcat. Took it to the range hoping it would shoot - and it does… 0.898 @100 yds with factory ammo, so I’m pretty happy. At one point i was wearing gloves and...
I’ve wondered over the years about using those Hot-Hands iron powder pouches while deer hunting. They work fairly well to generate heat in cold conditions. I get cold pretty easily, especially sitting. My question is, does anyone have any experience where the HH emit an odor that might spook...
I’ve had a drive to hunt Aoudad sheep for years. It’s probably my only practical means to sheep hunt given the cost and that I don’t live in the west (live in NC). But i digress. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with the table fare of the Aoudad. I have a seriously difficult time with...
A weird thing happened that hasnt happened to me before. I was loading once fired Nosler brass for my 270 Win. I neck sized using Forster neck sizing die, same as I’ve been doing for the past few years. I dont recall the bushing size but it sizes enough that i get 0.001 radial squeeze on the...
Precision Reloading.com has sampler packs of bullets in packs of 12. Can you learn anything from 12 shots? Looking for thoughts on how to make get the most learning from a 12 shot lot.
1. max cartridge length, 3 shot groups at min, middle, and max powder charge?
2. Middle powder charge, 3...
Hello everyone.
I’m looking at the Kifaru Gunbearer that RN uses, vs the Sitka Gun Sling. Not much price difference to speak of. Has anyone actually compared them, one vs the other? Why do you like one or not the other one?
Thanks in advance!

Looking for your thoughts on a recommendation for a chronometer for load development (in case you thought i intended to take it hunting🤦♂️)😂. Not interested in the “ clamp to the barrel” kind, as i dont want to mess with barrel harmonics. And probably not doppler due to $$$.
Thanks in...
Hey guys. First, I’m new to reloading. I’ve been studying it dor a long time and finally accumulated all of the tools etc. I made a little error that I’m hoping wont amount to anything. My Nosler data table for 150gr 270win calls for 48gr of H4350 powder, among others of course. Now i...
Just a quick heads-up, Cabelas has a great sale on Nosler brass and bullets right now. Lots to choose from. I picked up Nosler prepped 270win brass for 50% off and a great deal on big game bullets. Arrived Fed-Ex next day.
No, i dont work there! 😃
Cheers...

I have a Kahles CL 3-9x42 MultiZero scope for sale. This is alpha glass! (Now owned by Swarovski). 1” main tube. Still mounted but I dont expect anything but a superficial ring mark at worst. Excellent condition. Original Kahles scope caps plus Vortex caps (they fold flat). Original box...
Hello everyone. NC new guy here. I’m looking for thoughts on this. I’m headed west in 2020 for elk. Been there once before for antelope. Typically hunt whitetails with 130gr Nosler ballistic tip. And I’m a reloader so i can mix it up a little. I can practice out to 250 yds easily, which...
Hello everyone. Just joined from NC. A few things about me. I grew up in western NY, college in FL, moved to CT, then TX, back to CT, now NC. I dont like the cold, and I dont say y’all.
Take care everyone.
