Re: Hornady cases loose primer pockets on 5th reload

I've got more than one loose screw (so I've been told numerous times). LOL

We've had lows in the upper 60's to low 70's with high humidity here in E TN for most of July, highs in the low to mid 90's. AC is working OT and will be for...

Re: Is the 204 Ruger right for me...?

Is the 17HMR still effective with body shots at 200 on rock chucks? Quick & clean kill, or a lot of crawl offs, etc.??
