New. Opened but unused. Asking $75 shipped.

Bump. Price drop to $1200 shipped to the lower 48.

Lack of availability in components to make one go bang probably has a lot to do with it right now. All the powders that are a great combo for this caliber are very hard to find and when you do find it, it costs three times as much as it should. Probably makes a lot of folks ask themselves if they really need it.

I will take the bullets. PM Inbound.

I still have these available. Great optics to spend that stimmy money on.

I am all for free market competition but that seems like a blatant rip-off. If I was outdoorsmans I would be sending the lawyers over for a chat.

If factory brass is hard to chamber it sounds like the headspace is too tight. I recently just had to fix a brand new 700 in 7mm rem mag that the headspace was off about .010". Go gauge wouldn't even begin to chamber. Remington quality has been severely lacking over the last few years and especially here lately as they have been going under. After touching up the chamber and setting the headspace properly everything worked fine. I would suggest getting a set of gauges and checking headspace first.

H4350 works really really well in the 300WSM.

I have a brick of Winchester Small Rifle Primers. Everything I am running is using CCI. I would love to trade someone for either CCI #450s or #200s. Located in Safford.

Not selling. Looking to trade just like my add says. Definitely not shipping either.

Yes, like what mentioned above what is happening is the primer is actually flowing into the excess space around the firing pin and the hole. If it flows too much it will actually pierce and find its way into the bolt causing even more issues. I am willing to bet the CCI 450 will fix the issue unless its just really bad. In that case some large primer brass will be needed.

My allowance was a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and food on the table. We used to live out in the boonies and I would mow the lawns of the two older ladies on the walk home from the bus stop once a week. The first one would give me 5 bucks and the 2nd would give me a cold Dr. Pepper. Those were the days.

This is because you are using small primer brass in a receiver with a bolt designed for large primers. Firing pin needs to be bushed for proper fitment or change brass to a large primer pocket. This is a common problem with Savages especially but other actions as well. Another simple fix would be use a CCI #450 magnum as the cups are harder and you wont get pierced or dimpled primers. My wifes match gun chambered in 6mmBR had this problem and switching to the 450s cured it.

Another interesting fact for your list. Arizona is home to one of only a few rivers in the US that flows to the North. The San Pedro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pedro_River_(Arizona)

I purchased two Silencer Co Harvesters last year. Both are .308 cans with two direct thread adapters that the wife and I use on everything from .223 ARs all the way up. I threaded everything but a few rifles that I just don't want to ruin the aesthetics of. What I did was re-zero everything with the suppressor on it, that way I know I am ready to go, just have to screw the suppressor on whatever I am shooting at the time. Since getting the suppressors I haven't shot anything without it and neither will you. They just make shooting much more pleasant. I know there are probably better ones out there but I have been very happy with the Harvesters. Here is the wife and I doubling up on Coyotes last weekend. First one came in at about the 5 min mark and the 2nd at about 7 min. Shot one and just kept calling. 2nd one had no idea a gun had even been fired.

For a hunting scope my money goes to Leupold every time. They have all the features you need and none you don't. Glass clarity is great, light weight, durable and repeatable. Plus they look like they belong on a hunting rifle and American made. Warrantee is as good as anyone elses too, but chances are you won't become close friends on a first name basis with the folks in the customer service dept. like some other companies.

I just picked up a 721 in .257 Roberts as well. Sweet little rifles for sure and an even sweeter caliber. Good luck on your quest.

Frankford Arsenal platinum case trimming and prep station
STOMP442 replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Used them for years and I have never had an issue. The only time I had a problem was when one rolled off the bench and the tip broke off when it hit the concrete floor. -

Look at the Lee case length gauges and trimmers. They are cheap, caliber specific and they can be chucked up in a drill for easy work. The nice thing about them is you don't have to worry about setting anything or a screw slipping and changing your length. Each and every case is trimmed the same every time. -
All components are getting hard to find now. Brass for most calibers you really have to search for and powder is scarce to say the least and primers simply don't exist currently. I would say the sooner you get into reloading the better off you will be. Your ammo and your ability will be much improved. I would keep an eye out for a deal on a press and like said above get a good manual and read up on the process and get an understanding of what you are getting into and what you will need. The Sierra manual I think is the best.
