I plan to take my Encore (7mm-08 and 7mm BR)and Contender (7-30 Waters), I kind of like 7mm T/C's. All will be loaded with 120 gr. Ballistic tips. My son will have a .270 Model 700 with 130 gr. Sierras. Hopefully I can get within pistol range, if not I will have a .308 Norma Mag loaded with...
OKC is 100 miles southwest of Tulsa. I looked at mapquest and it looks like you may be taking I35 South out of OKC. That is the way I usually go when I head for Texas also. Maybe we could meet up in OKC at one of the truck stops and head out from there. Let me know what you find out from...
I have just started casting myself, but from what I have found out, is to first slug your barrel. Most cast bullet shooters I have talked with shoot .001 or .002 larger dia. bullet than barrel dia. to cut down on leading, this swages the bullet into the riflings and makes for a good seal and...
Hey Tom, my check (for 2 spots) went in the mail Sun. the 14th, when I emailed you last Thu. I was on my way to the post office to drop it off but I had to make an unplanned detour by the hospital to have my gallbladder removed, I got out Sat. and had my son mail it Sun. You should have it in...
Post where to send the money and my $100 will be in the mail, my son wants in too. Can we hunt with a pistol, I would love to bring my Encore or Contender?

I think that load data for it is the same as the 308 Norma Mag. (note I think, so don't take this for fact). I have the data at home and will try to find it tonight.

Trickling loads from the beginning is a no-no with the Pact/RCBS digitals, just for that reason. I can't recall why they behave that way, but it is spelled out in the instructions I got with mine. I dispense up to 1 or 2 tenths under the desired load then trickle up. So far, it has not...
I use a Pact (RCBS) digital powder dispenser and scale for almost all my rifle reloading, because I load mostly extruded powder and my Lyman powder dispenser is a real pain in the butt. What are the opinions out there on them. I have heard all the things about letting them acclimate for 20...

One thing I have found from manufacturer's websites is that most of the time the prices quoted are true retail plus some. I think this is done to keep out of competition with their dealers. You should almost always be able to beat their prices by shopping around a little bit. The...
How many decoys do you plan to carry, what type of water do you hunt? If we were hunting out of a boat, we usually took a 20 ft. Fisher flat bottom because of the stability during shooting. If we were using our blind, we usually took a 16 ft. Starcraft Mariner v-bottom. What ever you do make...
I tumble mine first to remove any crud and then resize and deprime. On most of my cases I use Hornady spray on One Shot resizing lube, it dries to the touch in about 30 seconds and does not require tumbling after sizing to remove it. If I have to F/L resize, I will usually use the RCBS or...
I found the address and phone # in an old Email that I had sent. He does have different weights but I will have to look that up at home for sure tonight.

I hope so, but I don't know. According to the article I read, you can't load the round short enough to cycle in a factory specs magazine, the ogive is too long and gradual. The bearing surface is extremely short on this bullet and as such, I would suspect that bullet runout could be a problem...
I loaded 20 of the 25 grain bullets I ordered this weekend. The load was 11 grains of 2400, one of the loads out of the reloading manual I got, and at 50 yds. I was doing good to hold a 1" group. I didn't chrono any of them since the accuracy was not what I was hoping for. There were 2 or...
Will do, I will be glad when mine is final. I'm starting to enjoy not answering to anyone. My son has moved in with me until he leaves for college, he has said he notices a big change in my whole outlook and disposition now that I am rid of the biggest irritant in my life.
I have some loaded up now, I've been playing lawyer games (between mine and hers) and haven't gotten a chance to shoot them yet, but I will remedy that this Sunday morning. I am taking a friend out to the club that I belong to so that he can check his rifle before an early October handicapped...
