Slug poison works very well. Had them and snails in huge numbers in California. Killed so many the smell got to be a problem.

Decapped about 2,000 9's and 1,000 223. Loaded some 60 gr Partitions for a friend with a 223 rifle. Did some /06 NBT's for same guy. Going to help him get zero at MSSA soon.

Interesting. Not good, in my view. RCBS prices will climb. I wager their Customer Service is now 1 part-time chicklett. And for sure lifetime is now 1 year.

I ordered and have received an Auto press for 223. We shoot so much of this ammunition I plain got tired of working all day and getting enough done so that my ready-to-go numbers do not go into a tailspin. Success with the 9's was accomplished but with a fair amount of misery, primer waste...

Hmmmmm. Says they have it.....Best of luck https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/76514 Might want to spend some time here https://www.6mmbr.com/6mmbr.html

I am a member of the Deer Assassin school of reloading. 1. Find the fastest load your rifle will shoot and group within reason. 2. Adjust COAL until you get desired accuracy or you touch lands. Sometimes, this doesn't work. My 22-250 with superformance wants that .020 jump to achieve...

Not used an auto-drum. The Lee I do use is rock solid in dispensing the same charge after more than 4500 rounds. I use CFE Pistol. I tested charge weights after every 10 then 20 then 50 and now every 100-200 rounds. And yes, I was shocked to see such repeatability.

Same question but west Tennessee.

Yeppers. Just in case a herd of woke's comes charging up the street. I would not want to leave the freezer with air space. (I still have over 20,000 Federal primers)

Varget and 150's should do the trick. Happen to know twist rate? Just being nosy.

Could not get around so good since early November of 23 but yesterday I got to pull trail cam cards. Cannot believe what I am seeing....3 bands of activity with large numbers of deer both does and bucks. There are two separate 10-point bucks and no kidding at least 20 youngsters (per band)...

Gonna be warm in West TN for next week or so. Filling up my garden, extra miracle-gro, watching for bugs.

Case neck split is nearly always overwork. I never crimp my centerfire bolt guns. I am nearly always at max recommended charge weight and very rarely at SAAMI overall length. Jump is bad for accuracy. Do not engage the lands keep to .007 or a bit more. Annealing is a very good way to...

Today is 4/11. Got about 150 seeds indoors under grow lights. Tomatoes have 2nd set but I am not taking them outdoors just yet-Next monday. Have covered my raise beds with water permeable material and this is raising the dirt temp 5 degrees. A huge surprise. Beans in big containers...

From mid 1980 to 2019 i 10-10 beam scaled every charge I loaded. I did not mind the drudgery because I am a fan of accuracy. This changed when my Kids got 9mm pistols. You can go through a lot of rounds in one range session. I started "throwing" charges when I got a Lee Auto loader. I...
