it is the same principle. accuracy comes from the base. I'm thinking about it from a consistency standpoint, things that I can control or make uniform. I'm sure it's waaaay overkill for a hunting round. I was looking for anyone to be able to say it either was or wasn't worth the efforts from...
I'm shooting a boat tailed soft point at this time as my final intended use is a hunting load. The soft lead nose seems that it could be easily damaged and inconsistent. To that effect I entertained the thought of being able to uniform them or reshape them into HP. My last 300 were all within...
Should be fine to store them with desiccant. Not likely that there will be any damage done to FMJ, JHP, etc. I shoot a BTSP and those bullets come from the factory shipped as you describe. I don't see a significant amount of damage to the nose, but I am researching a meplat uniforming tool to...

Anyone have experience with this or something similar? It is intended to function in two ways, to uniform the nose and also hollow point your round if desired.
I am shooting a BTSP now and I'm interested in the product. Who has...
I made the drive from Indy with my 12 year old up to Wabash at BassandBucks on Saturday. The staff was pretty cool. The price was right. I'll likely head back for longer range shooting, as the options past 100yds are few.
There were a couple of things that concerned me.
First was the guy...
I'm shooting a 2003/4 Savage bolt gun with a factory synthetic stock. I would like to eventually upgrade to a new stock from Boyd's. However I want to experiment with the stock I have before I have one made. There are some areas where I can immediately see a need for improvement.
1. Comb...
Hello. Like I said, new to the forum. I tried my hand at bullseye pistol last year and a round of indoor, both using a Ruger Mk3. I've since started handloading for my .45 to help with training to compete further in bullseye. THAT handloading stirred an interest in loading for a bolt action...
Thanks guys. I've got a decent list going. I really do appreciate the help. I'm sure I can find a home at one of these places to settle in and get comfortable again with my rifle. Tune up a respectable load and practice the fundamentals.
I started hand loading this year for my pistols. I have found that I really enjoy it, enough that I bought a die set for my 30/06. I have had this rifle for something like 15 years from when I lived in PA. It's been collecting dust and I would really like to get it out and back into action...
