    Hornady FTX Bore Driver

    I just ordered a pack of these today, anyone use them yet? I see they're pretty new... I'm running Fury's in my TC for my cow tag in a couple weeks, but always interested to try new options for the future.

    Dumb question about new brass

    What do you all do with new brass as far as prep work? Just inspect and load? Run through a FL sizing die? I have a backorder placed for Starline 30-06, so whenever that finally ships I'd like to know how to handle it. I know it's a dumb question, but I've only worked with brass that's been...

    Mapping options

    Seems OnX isn't the only game in town these days. I've been an OnX subscriber for a few years, I've seen Randy's video for GoHunt maps, an ad for Basemap Pro, and I've used CalTopo. Curious if OnX still has the same advantage that it used to or if these other competitors offer a better product.

    Ammo shortage?

    I was in Sportsman's the other day, and it reminded me of a grocery store at the start of Covid. I picked up the last 1lb jug of H4350 and 300 primers. Anyone else having troubles getting what they need? The internet seems more reliable, I found enough TTSX and LRX to get through hunting season.

    Lot to lot bullet variation

    Hey all, I got through most of a load development and went to go confirm my drop at 300 yards this weekend. I loaded 17 rounds, 7 with bullets from the lot I did my earlier testing with, and 10 with bullets from a new lot. Results were terrible! This load shot .6" 5x shot groups repeatably...

    Barnes seating depth and tuning different weight bullets

    I've been working up a load with 168 gr TTSX in my 30-06. I found that my rifle likes a big jump to the lands - with 54gr of H4350 I can see groups go 2.25" @ .050" off the lands, 1.10" @ .100" off, and 0.55" @.150" off the lands. I've repeated the performance of the .150" 54gr H4350, 0.150"...

    Beyond max length but .050" off the lands

    I'm continuing load development in my 30-06 with 168 gr TTSX. After seating the bullet 0.050" off the lands I found my COAL, 3.346", was just over the SAAMI max 3.340". The bullet has a groove showing above the case. Anyone else experience similar? What's the impact of the cartridge being...

    Where do you get your casings?

    I'm looking for a casing supplier for brats and smoked sausage. Any suggestions? I'm in Denver if you know a local place or online is fine too.

    Compressed load data for Nosler E Tip

    Was looking at the reloading data for 30-06 and Nosler E Tip 168 gr. They list a max charge of H4350 at 57.5 gr and label it compressed. If I were working up towards that point, when would you not have a compressed charge? 56.5 gr? 57gr? 57.4 gr? Also, a compressed charge would be dependent...

    What should my next steps be?

    Just starting out in the world of reloading, and got out to the range this week to test my first loads. I'm shooting a 30-06, and I full-length sized once fired nosler brass. I loaded 168gr TTSX with H4350 from 53 - 56 gr with 0.5 gr increments. I made up 3x of each and measured group size at...

    New to reloading - what advice do you have?

    Hey all, Looking for a little advice here. I have it on good authority that there will be a reloading kit under the tree this Christmas with my name on it. I shoot a Bergara B14 Hunter in 30-06. I would like to move to a non-lead bullet in 165 gr for deer and elk. I'm open to 180 gr but prefer...

    E-scouting for late season cow tag

    Hey everyone, My first post here after following along for a long time. A little about myself, I grew up hunting and fishing in Colorado and try to get out for elk and deer every year with a rifle or muzzleloader in hand. I've had a limited amount of success but really trying to hone the craft...
