First pic is the first group of three I shot cheap factory Sig 165gr after sighting her in. Second pic is my first 6 reloads doing a ladder test. Starline, 200gr ELD-X, CCI LRP, H4350

Stock everything on the rifle. Have a new trigger coming this week. 30-06

Annealing is just cool

I have a Rossi R92 in 357, the shorter barrel one, 16” iirc. Usually my heavier mag loads have a slight bulge from fire forming a Rossi chamber, but they reload fine and never had issues. Even buffalo bore outdoorsman’s were no big deal compared to my hand loads

The other day I tried factory Grizzly 200 grain for the first time. This is the first and only round I fired.. didn’t like the looks of it but figured I’d ask the opinion of those who have been at it longer..

There is a perfect ring all the way around the brass. I can see a slight change where my chamber usually fire forms the little bulge, but idk if these are even safe to shoot

Saw this, then my coworker kicked it and it was a creamy consistency inside. I’m always looking at the fungi in my yards but never seen one like this before. Located in south west Idaho

I got this with a 2005 model 110 on eBay a while back.. been using it as my everyday carry sheath cause I love the look. Decided to look a bit and couldn’t find much info on when/why this style was available. Any ideas?

Now that I paid out for the 257wby brass I gotta make em last!

I got some estate sale left overs. Sierra spitzer 100 grain 25 cal. 257wby, I’m not too worried about sub MOA, but are these gonna be okay for just “plinking” or are they trash?

Cheapest brass I can find online is $3.50+ per round. Local reloading store came in clutch with 50 count 257 wby mag for $99 out the door. Ooff

Slipped with a hatchet while camping. Had no choice but to drive 3 hours to the nearest ER. Stay safe out there!

Going to load up some 257wby for the first time, and usually in my pistol loadings I am happy to exchange slight differences in my bullet vs load data, so long as grain weight and everything else mostly matches..

I see that 100gr max loads are below 100gr start loads for the speer that I am pretty sure I have. 100gr soft point Spitzer. But those numbers seem dangerous.. can anyone explain? I am relatively intelligent and understand most things, but an extra 8-9 grains for the same bullet weight needs some kind of explanation I can’t see

So far I have only reloaded straight walled rounds. I wanted to get into a rifle round that’s not super common and had an opportunity come up

Tomorrow I am gonna check out a Weatherby Vanguard in 257wby. Comes with an RCBS die set. May trade for an old marlin 17hmr if we can work it out.

I have no knowledge of this round, but what I looked up seems fun..

Anyone have info on this round? Is it a good round for reloading? Mostly looking to do occasional targets, varmint, Idaho deer.. low volume, precision fun.

Anything specific to look for when getting this rifle used? I know it’s a hot round, any clear signs of a burnt out chamber throat/barrel I should know to look for? Thanks in advance yall!

Bought them 15 years ago and they sat in this box until I found them again lol

Been collecting knives for 25+ years. Always loved bucks being that my mother’s maiden name is Buck. The dozen in the background are all 2005 Idaho tang stamped since I live in Idaho and most are mint or near mint

A 300 grain .458 😂 I can’t stop laughing.

Got a 500 pack of baby pea shooter rounds and didn’t really inspect. When I pulled this out I just started laughing. I can’t even
