    Primers not Going into Brass??

    I would have thought it was all the same. With the Hornady Superformance, the primers go in much, much smoother. As well as with other brands, Federal, and Winchester.

    Greetings Everyone, I have saved some brass from Hornady ammunition "American Whitetail" chambered in .308. I am planning to use it to do some reloading. I had trouble getting Large Rifle Primers into the brass saved from fired "American Whitetail." It was extremely difficult to get the...

    Loading for less recoil

    Hello All, I was curious if anyone has successfully loaded rounds to allow some people that may be turned off by recoil to shoot. I have a .308 and would like to tune down the power for my girlfriend to give it a shot. The only other rifle I have is .22, and she is now interested in trying...

    Spotting Scope Power

    Hello All, I am looking for recommendations for a spotting scope. I want to know what people think about getting a 16-48x 65mm spotting scope vs 27-60x 85mm spotting scope. It is the same model spotting scope but the 16-48 is much cheaper. I am looking to hunt out west and I do not know how...

    Newbie Headed to Montana

    Thanks for the reply. I have seen the 10% success rate, I wonder how much of that is because of many people not getting far enough away from roads and other hunters ect. In NY where I am from, they report that it is an average of 8 years before hunters are successful with whitetail. I haven't...
