My trusty ol' Remington 870. I forgot got how long the tube is but its really long about 26" I am guessing but dammn that thing cycles smooth. ;D

No, 165gr, this is the load copied exactly from the Hodgdon webpage: Min Max 165 GR. SIE SPBT Hodgdon H4350 .308" 3.300" 53.0 2678 38,400...

Ha!!! That was too damm funny ;D

Yep exactly the same. Could it be the different components they must have used? It just seems like such a huge difference to be just the components.

Hey guys I came across a really big variation in data and I am not sure what to make of it. First off I am loading Sierra SBT .308 with H4350 and my Sierra manual states 46.9gr. min charge and 54.1gr. max charge but then I got a little curios and checked out Hodgdon reloading data webpage and...

Very good post Matavenados, I guess my main priority would be a good hunting round and I believe from what people have told me and what I have researched myself suggest the 280ai would do nicely, and it seems different and above all give me a fun project to build. But yeah you are right, I...

Aeon, that is really impressive, that 6.5X284 is one sexy looking round, but if I keep on changing my mind I won't get my project started. So I am pretty sure it is either going to be between the 280 rem and 280 ai I just can't decide if the added fps would be worth going the ai route. And...

The main reason I was thinking of re-chambering is because I can't leave anything alone, I always try to improve... its an addiction ;D The accuracy that I am getting is not what I want so I want to change things around. I also reload so this would not be an issue for me and I can always buy...

Hi guys, well I have been saving up for awhile to re-barrel my Savage 110. I currently have it chambered in a 30-06 but I was thinking about chambering it for 280 ackley improved. Does any one have that caliber? Is it worth going ai or just stay standard 280 REM? How does it do on deer and...

How did I not know about this, thats crazy. Thanks for letting me know about the ban I might just have to switch to Barnes bullet then. But since a have a lot of the Sierra bullets I guess I can get the Sierra manual and start hunting coyotes with my 30-06. OH WELL ;)

Ok so I am all set to reload but I want to add a reloading manual with my components. Since I am thinking of just using Sierra bullets for now, should I buy the Sierra Reloading Manual or would you guys recommend the Lyman Reloading Manual? Thanks for everyones help again.

Well I was looking into IMR-4064 and decided on that one, since that was the only one I was able to find. I heard a few good things about that one with the lighter grain bullet. Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. Now to find primers ;D

Hey guys well I just decided to get into reloading and I have everything I need pretty much. Except for primers and powder, I forgot to look for primers last time I was in the store so I am not sure if they are hard to find. But I have been calling all the gun shops around me for gunpowder...

Finally!!! I reached my limit on dove. Well I guess this is barely my second season dove hunting so it didn't take me too long. I reached my limit in about 2hrs after my father in-law and I arrived at his friends ranch. I am also going to try to make some poppers in a bit, I hear they are...

Thanks, NBK I didn't know that kit was so inexpensive. I think I might just go with that one instead since it seems to have everything I need.
