Had a small problem with my LNL-AP powder measure working loose as I load. I just got off the phone with Hornady and they are sending a shim package to correct the situation. The tech was very helpful in solving the problem. Also, the recorded phone directory is hilarious. I recommend a call...
Started reloading when I began shooting USPSA. Shooting 250-300 rounds a week, loading is the only way to go. I also enjoy the load development process.
Look into the Brenneke (Brenneke - at the center of hunting precision) KO slugs. They work great out of rifled chokes in my experience. There is a compatibility chart on their site that shows which types are beast for your set-up.
It's surprising how much abuse a coon can take. For dispatching trapped coons, I only shoot them if they are tangled back in washed out roots or inside a culvert. I shoot from the side of the head ear to ear. If they are out in the open a rebar stake works much more efficiently.
The bullet seater stem that came with my competition dies didn't match the profile of lead bullets. I emailed Redding to see if they had another style of seating stem. The tech said they only make one style but he would send me a second for free and informed me how to modify it to work...
I have tried to like Mossberg shotguns (500,835) and just don't feel as comfortable with them as Remington. Reliability was never an issue, they just feel cheap to me.
I have had upper gi's, lower gi's, two colonoscopies, an endoscopy and lots of blood work looking for the cause of my gastrointestinal distress. I just turned 26, had it since I was 12 or so. My trigger foods have morphed over the years. Generally, red meat, dairy, lettuce, excess sugar...
Switched to 777 and cleanup is much easier and less offensive in odor. My Knight Disc bolt comes out with a "c" tool then I swab the barrel with hot soapy water in the sink. Take to garage and blow out with compressed air then dry patch. Finish with a coat of EEZOX which is my favorite rust...
I like to put 3/4" colored dots stickers on targets. Small index cards are also fun to shoot groups on. Try to keep all shots on the card as you step back each shot.
