  1. 300 PRC

    Going elk hunting next year and looking to add a 300 PRC but also don't want to add a new caliber without being able to load my own. Looking for thoughts and insights on reloading this cartridge. Currently reload 300 BO, 308, 6.5 CM, and 7mm08 so this will be my first magnum / long range load...

  2. Mistake #89 & #90

    Posting this to hopefully help another beginner, I have made so many mistakes, most by just not paying attention. Recent purchases include H4350 for my 6.5 CM and some Berger .30 175gr VLD Hunting bullets for my 308, seemingly unrelated yet caused #89. I was loading my new 308 bullets...

  3. Help on CBTO

    Trying to find the CBTO measurement for my rifles. I have the Hornady OAL gauge, the correct collars for the bullet diameter and the modified Hornady cases. The measurements I am getting on three different 308 bullets in my Remington 700 are all longer than the recommended OAL and the bullet is...

  4. Hornady LNL single stage - help needed

    My single stage press has gotten very tight, to the point it is affecting my reload "process". I have taken it apart down to the pivot pin at the very bottom and have confirmed (I think) that this is the friction / tight point. My question is - how do I get this pin out to clean and lube it? The...

  5. 7MM08 Brass?

    Expanding my reloading capabilities and trying to find new brass in 7mm08, none of my typical sources have them in stock, any thoughts on where to find?

    Item Name: Item Gone: Fifty Cal Location: Item is for: Sale/Trade NOT SPECIFIED Willing to Ship: No Bill of Sale Required?: No Item Description: Asking for a "friend" whose son just bought a Barrett and volunteered to help sight it in, but needs more bullets. Holy cow these are expensive...

  7. 6.5 CM (.264) Bullets / input

    I took up reloading earlier this year when I couldn't find ammo, of course all the components are hard to find as well. I did find some Berger 135 gr Classic Hunters, but have now gone through them all and can't find more. Of course my grandson sighting in and killing 5 deer this year hasn't...

  8. Need a recommendation for a long rifle hard case

    Heading to Tejas for a deer hunt in January and need to carry my Delta 5, which is 44". Is Pelican the best? Are there other options for an airline secure hard case for a 54/55" interior case?

  9. Help - Fail to fire

    So just when I was feeling good about my reloading adventure, I had something happen Saturday that has me scratching my head. When I started earlier this year and didn't know that 6.5 CM came in large and small rifle primers so ended up with both types of Lapua brass. My first loads were with...

  10. Perry Sports Center

    I make it a point to go to Perry Sports center every year during our hunting "get together" whether I need any thing or not - I always find something. Going down an aisle, turn the corner and find powder on the shelf! H110 and IMR4350, both of which I use. Also had Lil'Gun and others Half the...

    Afternoon 10/27 Hunt

    Was just looking for a quiet afternoon on a pretty fall day, told my buddy if I shot it would be worth it. Nice and quiet, mental decompression in progress and this guy shows up out of nowhere, literally 20 yards in front of me. A high shoulder hit at 15 yards and he dropped and expired in 3...

  12. 6.5 130 gr Berger OTM loads

    Afternoon ODT friends - quick as for advice as I am new to reloading (actually loading). Earlier this year I bought 400 130 gr Berger OTMs before I found my 135 Classic hunters for a good hunting round. I have 100 new Lapua brass, cleaned and ready for priming, so my question is with available...

    Item Name: Item Gone: WTB - 20 Gauge Dove loads Location: Item is for: Sale/Trade NOT SPECIFIED Willing to Ship: No Bill of Sale Required?: No Item Description: Like the title says, looking for a couple of cases of high brass 7.5 or 8 shot, the big box stores are useless and I started...

  14. Powder measure - Electronic Scale vs Balance Beam

    Still new to this "hobby", and I have been using the Hornady LnL electronic scale for my first rounds, but have read enough in these posts to make me wonder if a balance beam wouldn't be better. At this point i am overly cautious and more than a little OCD, as I test the Hornady electronic...

  15. Powder Valley has powder

    Better hurry , I am still looking so far just Accurate, still looking

  16. Hornady OAL Gauge

    So I bought both the bolt and semi (angled) versions and have tested for measurement on my rifles. The thing is, unless I am doing it wrong, is that the measurement to the ogive will give me a round that is .12x over the described OAL in all of my load manuals. Branes TTSX 165, Hornady 150 FMJBT...

  17. I need a primer on primers

    OK - I know the difference in LRP, SRP, LPP, SPP and what they are used for, but that's where my limited knowledge stops. Why and where would you use magnum primers? What is the difference between brands?

  18. Victory!

    Well almost, got to send some down range for a total victory, BUT - I have loaded my first .308 rounds! Six weeks of figuring stuff out, spending a bunch of money that has my wife really upset, and a lot of YouTube video watching, I seated bullets last night. But I want to REALLY thank ODT...

  19. Quick newbie question

    Spent a bunch of money, haven't made a cartridge yet, just got my Lapua 308 brass and 10% have a flat spot on the case mouth. Was just looking at my new supply and started noticing flat spots, I know I can size them correctly, just didn't expect this many. Is this normal?

  20. Powder, of course

    I am willing to pay a premium, but stop short of some of the prices I have seen. It's a sellers market and as a die hard capitalist, I fully support any member getting what they can for any item, it's just not me to a point. Here is what I am looking for in 1 or 8 lb unopened containers Varget...
