I came across 20 pieces of fired nosler 30-06 brass at the range the other day.
I necked them up to .358 and formed a false shoulder on them so I can fireform them to 338-06 Ackley.

Same with me. I wanted a labradar so bad but kept holding off. Glad I did!

Velocities were lower than expected with the bullet set deeper in the case, but I believe I have found a velocity node at a little over 2700fps. 3 shots all .5gr of powder difference 3/4” group and...
I’ve been hammering out some test loads the last couple weeks. Been making some good headway on a couple difficult rifles.

I got one of the new Garmin chronographs a few weeks ago. Ive only had a chance to use it once so far. My last range session I shot my 338-06 Ackley, 35 Remington, 7.62x54R, 9.3x74R, and 30-06. The...
Love it!!!

I’m looking for some Hornady .257 120gr HP #2560. These were discontinued awhile back. If you happen to have any of these lying around, I’d be interested.

I got my next little mini ladder test made up. They are .060” shorter than the previous ones, and they fit the magazine. Powder charges are 58.0, 58.5, 59.0, 59.5, and 60.0gr of BigGame. Bullets are...
I’ve settled on 11.7gr of 2400 with this 190gr WFN. After shooting it a few more times, I realized I was the culprit. It’s been consistently printing sub 3” groups at 25 yards. I think that’s the...
I’ve been a busy little beaver at the bench. Brass prep has included 35 Remington, 338 Federal, 250 Savage, 7.5x55, and 7x57.
I have loaded some 30-40 hunting rounds with Hornady 150gr RN and...
That’s awesome!

I bet that 2-7 Leupold will look great on your 94.

I’ve been sighting in rifles for hunting season. I’m just about finished. Next weekend I will get the finishing touches done.

Here is some pictures of my Marlin 1895 with two different scopes on it. One thing to note on these pictures is that the scopes are mounted about an inch farther back than they should be because of...
Ive heard/read that Ruger is doing right by these old classics. If ever you need an opinion, look me up, I’m full of them. HAHA!

AWESOME!! Is it 44 Magnum? I don’t have a 94 Marlin, but I would love to have one. Congrats!!
To me scopes look kinda ugly on lever actions, but are sometimes a necessary evil. If your eyes are...
This past week I made up some test loads for my Savage99 284 Winchester with 139gr interlocks and RL19, and 145gr Grand Slams and Ramshot Hunter. My Remington760 35 Remington with 200gr Hornady RN...
Windy day today, but still went to the range. Best group was .562” with 60.0gr. The rounds were a little too long for the magazine so next time out I’m going to try that load again but with a deeper...
So far these are just practice loads with plated Xtreme 240gr FP. I figure, as crappy as I am with this longer range scoped pistol stuff, I might as well get as much practice in while developing a...
I can’t get the rifle to feed those pesky RN bullets reliably, but the last round in the magazine feeds like glass every time. My plan, if I ever hunt with this bullet, is to just load 2 rounds in...
What a great post! You covered a ton of ground.
When I shot benchrest in the late 90’s early 2000’s everybody was neck sizing only, I forget what year full length sizing became popular on the...
I shot my next set of test loads yesterday. HS6 and AA7 were horrible, but IMR4227 and CFE Pistol did admirably with just over 3” groups at 50yds. I’m still getting used to scoped pistol shooting....
Got a little more range time this past weekend. I shot my 32 Winchester special, 30-40 Krag, 44 Magnum, and 357 Magnum.
The 32 Special and 30-40 shot really well with my test loads, the 44 Mag...
I reduced the loads a little, hoping for a bit better accuracy. No dice, both loads shot just about the same as last time. Back to the drawing board.
