    Another one for the .308. Proven performance. Plenty of ammo and components. Easy to load for, no special powders needed. Get the long range flashy stuff later if you find you need it. With the...

    Greetings 300wsm for life, Hodgdons only recommends AR2206H (H4895) for loads reduced below starting loads. They don't even recommend IMR4895 having found the ADI powder worked better. 500 grams of...

    Greetings All, Relentless scrounging has resulted in a large supply of once fired .223 brass. Weighing the brass I found most of it fell into two groups one averaging 94 grains and the other 97...

    Greetings All, Weighing the cases or a sample of them will allow you to group the similar ones together. I have done quite a bit of this so will share my findings tomorrow. GPM.

    Greetings Bumblefoot and All, I've found the Lee Loader is ideal for neck sizing the .303 as it doesn't over size the neck. I prime them with a Lee hand tool. I have, in the interests of science...
