@Ridge Runner That why I love CFE223. Give great velocity and superb accuracy in a few calibres I use 222,223,308 and the Whelen of course. Works well in a myriad of other calibres as well. May not be the best for all but comes bloody close. I now use hodgon superformance instead of H4381 as I...

@Woodcarver That's why I use load from a disc I can input the brand of bullet I want to use and it gives me a selection of suitable powders and load density with each powder and proposed pressure. I have found over the years that reloading manuals can and do vary greatly with their loads with...

@Rare Breed I always look for the load with the highest density with the slowest powder and the velocity I want. Bob

@deewayne2003 Woodleigh hydro's ride the bore and even Woodleigh says to use the same load data for the weldcore as the hydro. Barnes banded solids in the other hand actually engrave the rifling and this may cause excessive pressure if the same powder charge is used. The Woodleigh hydro is a...

@akrifleman That's why when I buy say 5-10 one pound canisters if the same powder it out then all in a CLEAN DRY container and mix them together. That way u know they are all identical when I rebottle them and can use ALL the powder without working up a load for each bottle) batch. Bob

@PARA45 NEVER load the same powder charge behind the same weight but different projectiles. Bullets are constructed differently. Different bearing surface, hardness, length and construction cup and core or mono. This can and does affect pressure My advice is when changing bullet types I...

@TrapperErick Simplex dies are Australian made and if excellent quality. They come in 2 sizes tho. 7/8 x14 standard thread that are interchangeable with any other brand and standard presss And a 5/8 fine thread for use in the Simplex turret press only. Use the with confidence that they will...

@MS 9x56 I have never palmed the bolt. Always use fingers, quicker and more control. Bob

@HookMeUpII My wife and I live simply, don't drive expensive cars or have a big flash house. But We are pretty well debt free, own our own home and happy. We are doing an around the world trip this year with some of our savings. We prefer to live humbly and enjoy life rather than trying to...

@Philippe I agree. When I divorced my first wife she got the goldmine and I got the shaft. Now very happily married to my wife if almost 25 years. Even tho she is a non hunter she supports my hunting because I enjoy it and she enjoys the travel and seeing new things. Bob

@hank Buck The greatest hunting trip I had in my life was sharing it with my non shooter wife and my son. It added so much more to the experience to share it with the ones you love. Bob

@CBeck Problem is you need to drink the only palatable run on earth BUNDY RUM. Bob

@Redheadkentuckian I'm young compared to some on this site but I'm sure a lot will agree with me. I'm 67. I got where I am with bloody hard work. Forklift for loading trucks back when I started were few and far between. It was just pure muscle and hard work to load trucks. Yes it was hard graft...

@sgt_zim My wife and I are just into the middle class area and a long way from upper middle class. But we worked out buts off for years and are pretty well debt free and own our own home with very few expenses. The wife's car is 6 years old and my old 1997 4x4 diesel will stay with me for as...

@Field28 The problem with popular brands like Toyota is you are paying for the name and quality is not always there and they rely on the name. Nissan may not be as popular but you get more features, higher quality and same capabilities for less $$$. It's the same with trucks. A Kenworth will...
