    I went heavy on the projectile in my 222 not as heavy as they go in 223 . I use 55 grain hornady soft points. Group well and kill well too. I use AR 2208 and 2206. If you do go lighter on the pills...

    Yeah I'm on the fence, I have had occasion where the dog sees something and knows what it is from a great distance ( prey ) Like paddling out to a duck 250 M away and then I have occasions when the...

    Timmay liked post by johnd On thread : Reloading Dies
    I would hope so, if you are leaving a thick deposit inside your precision made die, then any "build up " is going to effect how they perform. To avoid any moisture issues with my dies I keep them in...

    PERRISCICABA liked post by johnd On thread : Reloading for 9mm pistol
    Winchester pistol primers and buy them by the 5000 or 10 000, do a search and talk to your local club members on what deals they get. If its a small club look to meet people from a larger club to do...

    i41do2 liked post by johnd On thread : 270 powder loads?
    Personally I wouldnt bother with the 2217, fine for magnums but if you are starting with compressed loads you dont have anywhere to go. I also think compressed loads are not for a begginner or...

    Apologies if its been done to death, nothing showed in the search, so here goes. So I am considering going to a 6.5 but which one? Most of the shorter versions seem to be trying to emulate the 6.5...
