I'll throw in a set of RCBS full length dies as well.




(That's just carbon around the bottom... they are nice and shiny)

AWESOME!

Was this a guided hunt?

lol. I didn't even notice the accent the first time i watched it. They had to have been feeding the yotes up there. For that, they deserve to get bit. lol. Curious what he'll do next time when there are 5 or 6 of them all trying to eat his butt. lol. Chris Or what the coyote will do when it is a sm...

Uh... wow! Nice uncle.

THAT is absolutely nuts!

Nice post.

That yote was very silverish. Neat looking pelt for sure.

Trent, I have found Varget to be very accurate in my rifle, but somewhat lacking in velocity, usually about 200fps slower than most other powders used with 204 Ruger. Of course that might still be more than enough for what you need. If I can stay around 3800-4000 fps with 32 grainers I'll be happy....

That is interesting. I may have to give them a try.

Nice second post! Thank you for all the photos and testing. What is the twist rate in the Tikka's?

That last photo with the mushroomed 45 grainers is a neat one.

No problem Carlos. I'm still playing with powder as well. H335, H322 and RL-10x. I am considering going to Varget though since that is what I use in a couple other calibers and it works well with Colorado's rapid temperature changes. I shoot pDogs up on the Pawnee Grasslands, but that season ends in...

I bought a ISO smart reloader and have been happy with it so far
just remember to close the powder dump shoot after the powder has drained

I've only had mine two days and already made the mistake of forgetting that! Haha

Yes, but the discharge chute is 1/2" from the table. Kind of hard to get a bottle under there.

If you set it up on your table so that the chute overhangs the table then you never have to pick it up.

Unless you know a trick that I don't.

Rifle has had 32 rounds sent down the tube and has since been resting in the safe. I have another .22-250 (700 Varmint Special from the 80's) that I shoot. This one gets no freedom and I've decided to let it go. The photos speak for themselves as far as the condition goes. Has the X-mark Pro trigger...

You'll probably end up shifting it over to the right edge of your bench. Makes emptying the powder back into the containers much easier if you don't have to pick the whole unit up to dump it. That is what I found anyway.

Nice. I got my RCBS ChargeMaster dispenser on Thursday. I am already out of ammo to load. These things aren't a necessity, but they sure make reloading fun again. I weigh every charge (competition and varmints) when loading for rifle so this is going to make life easy. Also, it makes loading powder ...
