We have a 50 foot covered front porch. The UPS guy seems to have the energy to get out of his truck and leave things at the front door. The FEDEX people (it seems a different one each time) has repeatedly left stuff by the garage door and the back door where the stuff is exposed to the...

As it reads you could also go afield with a 30 round magazine of 204 Ruger cartridges loaded with Berger 55 gr. BTHP bullets. Whoever concocted the laws are obviously not knowledgeable about firearms.

So, it's October and they want to go hunting. Since he would have to buy a rifle, I would have to assume he hasn't shot much if any. So starts the perfect setup for one to be afield with a rifle that's been bore sighted and maybe not shot much. Without some mentoring, I wouldn't look for a...

1. They're not illegal to sell though many wouldn't want to buy one and it's possible (maybe probably) a FFL holder wouldn't want to process one. 2. There are aluminum 80% lowers and composite ones. The composite ones come with a jig you use only once and require a drill, a vise, a drill...

My problem wasn't as bad as yours. I couldn't get IMR 4227 to work well but 1680 works fine. Another thing to try is to go with a heavier bullet so you get more pressure with less velocity; like the 220 grainers I use.

I can't say I've ever noticed a huge advantage to neck sizing and, in fact, in one gun neck sized brass shot significantly worse than full length sized brass.

For bullet weights in the 308 Winchester I've never found anything better than 165 to 168 grains. I've also tried various powders including Varget and have never found anything better than IMR 4064; it has been my go to 308 Winchester powder for 30 years now.

There was an article in Handloader magazine several years ago in which the author did extensive testing for accuracy, case longevity, etc. in the 308 Winchester. In his test, CCI 250 (large rifle magnum) primers gave the best accuracy. The primer that came in second in the accuracy department...

Agreed.

Probably 8 years ago now, I had a Taurus revolver in 22 LR. We parted company after it started failing to ignite 22 LR cartridges. I have no desire to acquire any more Taurus firearms.

I've been using them almost exclusively for several years. I use them to remove carbon and copper fouling and follow that with Prolix or Microlon Gun Juice.

I've been using it for several years. There are also some on blaserbuds.com that use it as well. I think it's very good. I buy it in the half gallon size. It's not a copper remover but is good for powder residue and lubrication. For a quick clean, I run a few patches with Prolix through the...

My favorite load. In fact, my only load. A Whitetail at 252 yards. A coyote; not that far. DRT.

Just curious, what is the advantage of lapping scope rings? What I know is that some recommend lapping so the scope doesn't move under recoil. For what it's worth, I've never lapped scope rings even though I have all the tools to lap 1 inch rings and have mounted bunches of scopes. I didn't...

My Ruger Redhawk used to tear the skin off my thumb until I changed grips. My 444 Marlin Encore handgun will also tear the skin off my thumb without special precautions. Happily, if you're only shooting it a little, your thumb will probably be OK. For longer range sessions, put a band aid or...

You need: 1. A press. I've been happy with single stage presses for many years and have loaded thousands of rounds on them. 2. Dies for each cartridge you wish to reload. Get carbide dies for the straight walled cases as they need no lube. 3. Lube. I recommend Imperial sizing wax. 4...

I think RL-15 is a very good powder for the 375 H&H Magnum; it's the only one I've used in several. As for bullets, I've gotten good results with Hornady 300 grain BTSP and FMJ round nosed bullets which hit about the same place at 100 yards. Another load I have utilizes 270 gr. Barnes TSX...

I believe RL-15 is one of the best powders for the 375 H&H Magnum. RL-15 with 270 grain and 300 grain bullets over Federal 215M primers is what I use in both rifle and handgun with excellent results. Persoally, I wouldn't grieve over not getting the 375 Ruger. I would much rather have a 375...

I've never had very good results with 150 gr. bullets in mine. I do best with 168 gr. BTHP match bullets over IMR 4064. I also think how you size can be a factor. A small base die might help. It may also help to make sure the shoulders on cases you're resizing is set back enough. I had an...

Isn't it ironic that in places like Europ and Africa where gun control is in full swing that not only may suppressors be bought with no additional paperwork but in places their use is even required or encouraged. You couldn't hurt someone with a suppressor unless you hit them with it and they...
