PM inbound with offer.

The first step in finding a solution is admitting the mistake/problem. Thank you all for your input and especially those with empathy. I took the reloads with the less than max. 14.3 grains of 2400 to the range and felt that they were rather hot for me. The Accurate No 5 loads were...

Upper sold, Nightforce still for sale Bushmaster 24" fluted varmint complete upper. I bought it new with the lower but found a more compact upper for coyotes. Probably less than 50 rounds fired. I'm pretty sure I Ultra bore coated it right after I got it. It's like new as it's been sitting...

Nightforce NXS 8X32 with NP-DR2 reticle. Only light ring marks. I have the box. $1400. Non-zero stop. First "I'll take it" wins. Bushmaster Varmint upper is in another ad.

Yes, Don reloading IS for me. I enjoy it. Fortunately, I deduced what was wrong before doing something dangerous to me and anyone near me at the range. What disturbs me is that sometime in the past, I had put leftover Unique in the 2400 bottle. How that happened, I'll never know. I don't...

Well I'll be. I always thought it was "partridge." Well, anyway, what you said!

I have a Smith and Wesson 586 that I love but it has the red ramp front site that I detest. I missed a big deer with my 29 Classic due to that site. My 29 Classic now sports a partridge site as it's interchangeable. There is no evidence of a way to change the front site on my 586. Am I...

UPDATE, again. I went back down to reload some more 357 and poured out what I thought was 2400. To my surprise, it was flakes of Unique. Somehow, before last night, I had emptied my powder dispenser into my bottle of 2400 diluting/contaminating it. Now, I have a contaminated bottle of 2400...

Update: I figured out what I did. I had a canister of Unique on the bench and grabbed it instead of the 2400 which was sitting out too. What an idiot! I was in a hurry and got ahead of myself. A bad thing to do when reloading. Thanks for all of your input. I am somewhat concerned about...

Thanks for your replies. I use an RCBS scale and my 21 year old daughter was watching. We set it up 2 or 3 times and were amazed. The larger part of the scale was 0 to 50 to 100, etc. I set it on 10. Then the next scale was 0-10 and I set it on 4. The next was0-1 by tenths. I set it on .3...

Howdy. I used to reload years ago and have just recently gotten back into it. Today, I was reloading some 158 gr JHP's in 357 magnum brass. I use the Speer reloading manual. It called for 13.8-14.8 grains of 2400. I measured out 14.3 grains of 2400 and it filled the brass to the top. I...
