      Hornady 10th edition or Lyman 50th ?

      If you are set on using a variety of bullet manufacturers, then I'd suggest the Lyman manual. Bullet construction varies so much today that I consider it essential to have access to data that is specific to the brand and type of bullet. If you can limit your bullet selections to mostly Hornady...

      Looking for a recommendation for scope rings

      Both Warne and Vortex make good quality rings, I've used rings from both with good results. Look at the Warne Maxima in steel or the Vortex Pro (formerly Viper?) in aluminum, depending on if you want to save a few ounces or not. These two rings are reasonably priced. I have not used any Weaver...

      Lab Radar ?

      I've been satisfied with my Labradar and would buy it again. The range I shoot at doesn't allow setting up skyscreens in front of the firing line, so it's either a Magnetospeed or a Labradar chronograph. The Labradar is easier to use with multiple firearms and records velocity at multiple ranges...

      Seemingly contradictory load data - help!

      Out of curiosity I ran the two loads through Quickload to see what the differences are. The Hornady load of 6.4 grains of HS-6 fills the available case volume to 91.2%, while the Hodgdon load of 7 grains of HS-6 fills the available case volume to 85.7%. Quickload estimates the Hodgdon load to...

      Seemingly contradictory load data - help!

      Also look at the cartridge overall length (COL) for these two loads. The Hodgdon data with the Speer bullet has a COL of 1.125 inch, while the Hornady data has a COL of 1.075 inch, or a difference of .050 inch. In general, if the bullet is seated deeper into the case, there is less volume for...

      Labradar?

      Your experience with low muzzle blast rifles seems to be the same as mine, where I had to position the muzzle of my 32-20 WCF even with the side of the Labradar in order for the shot to be recorded. Handguns do not seem to have that issue, as a 32 H&R triggered OK with the muzzle well in front...

      Labradar?

      I've used one for three ranges sessions. As noted, using the external microphone with rimfire ammunition at a busy range can be a problem, but it's easy to identify and delete the false readings. Shooting two different handguns in the same session, a .357 and a 44 Special, was a breeze, the...

      Favorite reloading manual/manuals?

      The Lyman reloading manual has a variety of bullet and powder manufacturers, along with cast bullet loads, it's the manual I usually start with. The Lyman 50th edition has just been released, you can probably buy the 49th edition at a good discount if you don't need the latest data that's in the...
