    Re trimming, you can get an attachment to connect a battery drill to the RCBS trimmer, I will see if I can find mine tomorrow. From memory I didn't find it that great. It might be better if doing...

    Case length is always going to be an ongoing problem with the .22 Hornet because the long taper on the case lends itself to stretching. The .22 K Hornet was developed to overcome the stretch problem...

    The bullet I am using is the Sierra #1385. It is a hollow point, flat base, and has a reputation for being relatively hard (which I wanted in caae I came across a goat). I have found it to be...

    Close. I'm running the 75 and 73gn ELDM's Nosler Brass Fed 205 Primer and 25gns of 2208. This is a compressed load which I worked up to. Velocity is 2795 out of a 20" barrel in my Tikka T3x....

    I dont do enough loading to warrant a permanent mount so this is my current set up . It is a high bench though 240482 A tidy bench is a sign of an uncreative person

    I found 2207 too slow. I have been using 11.2gr of Lil Gun with a 40gr Sierra bullet and SPP for 3,100ft/sec. This was the most accurate load. After accuracy testing I checked for longevity: fired...

    New to shooting, but I got a .22 and a 30-06 so far. Might get a cheap 223 at some point. Those 3 choices should cover everything I want to put in my freezer.
