Is this how primers normally come packaged? Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I’m just getting started with reloading. Seems…haphazard.

Forgive me if this has been asked before. I did a search and didn’t see what I was looking for.
I found some CCI BR-2’s on Natchez. These primers will be for my first ever attempt at reloading. Am I going to have issues with ignition if I use these primers when developing a load for my 7mm Rem...
What are you guys looking forward to seeing from SHOT Show next week? Seems like some pretty awesome gear getting announced and/or marketed at the show this year.

Not sure exactly what I’m looking for here but I’ll do my best to explain it. I’d like to find a website that clearly outlines the entry and drawing process for every state. Preference point vs lottery in CLEAR language is really what I’m after. I think TopRut offers draw percentages/success...
I’m looking to add a rifle to the gun cabinet. Looking for something else besides another AR that is fun to shoot and won’t break the bank every trip to the range. Not looking for another rimfire either.
I saw someone else mention the Springfield M1A which piqued my interest. Something like...
Has anybody here ever gone out for the 2nd season opener (11/12) for doves? If so, what’s your thoughts? I’ve always enjoyed the general opener on 9/1 (and the rest of that season) but never hunted the second season.
I’ll take any and all feedback you all want to give. Not even sure if the...
Looking to add another rifle to the safe. I have a 7mm REM Mag but want to add something that’s fun to shoot at the range and my nephews can use mule deer hunting with me. Since this isn’t my primary rifle, I’m not looking to break the bank.
Initially I was thinking Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5CM...
I’ve been spending more and more time at the range lately. Most of the time I’m running errands on the way back since the wife has the kids. Since I can’t always wash my hands I typically just use a wet one but I saw an ad for these LeadOff wipes (https://hygenall.com/shooting-sports/) which...
I’m leaning very heavily toward purchasing a Franchi Affinity 3 in 12 gauge with Realtree Max-5. This will be primarily a waterfowl and dove gun with a turkey hunt sprinkled in every now and again. I’ve used a Remington 870 Express for decades but it’s time for an upgrade. I’m looking for...
Does anybody here have any experience shooting the Hornady Outfitter ammo with the new CX bullet out of their CA Mesa? I have a 7mm Rem Mag Mesa and was able to find some outfitter ammo on the shelf locally. I have a hunt coming up requiring lead-free ammo so these may be a good fit.
I’ve...
Does anybody know where I can get a 10 round magazine for my Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact? Or does anybody know other aftermarket magazines that are compatible with that firearm? I’m having a heck of a time finding one that works for the M&P 2.0 Compact in .40S&W.
Thanks,

I was lucky enough to get drawn for a hunt on public land (Central California) which only allows limited hunters on the refuge opening day. The refuge is 3ish hours away so I just won’t be able to get there to scout before the hunt. That said, I am spending a lot of time on OnX scouting the area...
For those of you who use bear spray, what do you do with expired canisters? I’ve heard the aerosol leaks over the years meaning the effective distance could be drastically reduced. To be on the safe side I bought a new spray and shelved the old one. It is still sitting in my garage so now I need...
Let me start by apologizing if this is not the right place for this question. Please feel free to point me in the right direction and I will re-post somewhere else. That said, I did do a quick search and didn’t find a whole lot of solid information on this.
I am lucky enough to be going on a...
Checking in from the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. New to hunting big game but hunted waterfowl and upland for years. Long time lurker in the reloading forum so thought it may be time to finally contribute!

I’m just getting into big game hunting after a lifetime of bird hunting. Scopes are totally new to me so I’m doing my best to learn everything I can to effectively use the one I have. My scope, a Vortex Viper HSLR 4-16x50 has the handy BDC reticle. As I understand it, the elevation hashes adjust...
