    Caes Trimmers

    I will jump in because I have not seen this yet, but I use an OLD Lyman. It is probably 35 years old. It is not a speed demon but it does a good job. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Elk Bullet for 7mm rem mag

    Your number one bullet is fine for elk. I saw where you like over thinking things. I do not hunt elk with a rifle generally. I prefer bowhunting them they are giant turkeys lol. However, my best friend has killed 36 bulls give or take one or two with a 7MM Mag. He has always used the Barnes 160...

    Question as to inconsistent OAL on loads

    I bought a VLD stem and for the 338 RUM it was not a bit better. If polished the stem and if I go really slow it works a lot better. I do not have a drop tube good suggestion. Thx. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Question as to inconsistent OAL on loads

    I am bumping this up because I figured out what the problem was, and it may help someone in the future. I was loading Barnes LRX bullets. I am loading a compressed load, slightly but still compressed. I had a few bullets really stick in the stem. Called Redding, they said the competition seating...

    WTS Reloader 26

    Someone in New Jersey will likely drive to pick it up. No comment as to price, but what is really sad is that people can’t get powder. Good luck to seller and future buyer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    WTS Can we sell factory ammo here? I have a lot of 7MM Mag ammo that I will never use.

    What are reasonable goals for group size?

    A friend started my reloading adventure when I was 15 or 16. He was about 15 year older than I, and to this day is the only person with whom I have shot a rifle. I only reloaded and shot for myself and for hunting. 99.9 percent of the time it has been me, myself and I when shooting. So I really...

    Do you skip the expander mandrel?

    My best estimate is that the expander mandrel is the best approach for some of the reasons noted above. I use a Wilson expander die and if my recollection is those are about .003 smaller than the caliber sized. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Do you skip the expander mandrel?

    And for what it is worth, been fun to read your threads and see what the trends are today. Reloading preferences change a bit from decade to decade. But then again so did my wallet. 40 years ago I could have never afforded a competition seater. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Do you skip the expander mandrel?

    Reloaded a ton for 20 years, didn’t do much for 15 or so, then had 5 years of a little more reloading. This year I have been at it full force more than ever. Maybe just getting to be one of those old farts who avoids people and sits at his reloading bench every evening. Ha Ha. Now the question...

    Redding Type S Bushing FL vs Premium Deluxe 3 die set

    I normally load with the Redding Type S Bushing Full Length and Competition Seating Die. However, I picked up a 7MM Rem Mag rifle that came with the Redding Premium Deluxe 3 die set. It includes: The Competition Seating die; Full Length resizing die with carbide expander; and Neck sizing die...

    After market stock for Sako 85

    I don’t think McMillian is making a stock to fit the Sako 85s at this time. Does anyone know of a company that does ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    Lots of good information here, but watching this from a far it is like watching the tower talk a passenger down as he lands a 737 after both pilots pass out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Fun post add to my pack …

    There is a post that is similar to this and someone said a sponge I think for drying the inside of a tent off from condensation I think. Most unique thing I had heard of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Fun post add to my pack …

    Several of you have been helpful getting me ready for a brown bear archery hunt in two months. Thanks to all. Even though I have been on that hunt in the past and many others, it is amazing how much you can still learn from this forum. So here is my question: All in all if unsuccessful, I...
