Best load I have for the straight Hornet is 10.8 grains of WW296, WW primer, WW brass, and the Speer spitzer soft point 40 grain Hornet bullet. If you aren't restricted by magazine length the Sierra...

Just a LIGHT wipe with an oily patch, kind of oil doesn't matter, just about anything like GI "Oil, Preservative, Light" or something of that ilk. No teflon or super lubes like Triflow or BreakFree...
Just make sure to lightly oil the cases before forming them. The Hornet case is so thin that they tend to separate when forming if you don't. The fellow shooting next to me at the range one...
Hi,
I would like to see a dedicated political forum for those who choose to discuss politics here. I have no desire to discuss politics and I don't like to click on a thread about shooting or...
Will do, I also have a set of 6.5 Italian dies. I got all this stuff when the last big local dealer retired and had a big sale. Just too many projects and not enough time or money. Can't wait to...

I am a devout Ross fan, currently shooting a Mk III that was liberated from...

Good evening all,
My name is Phil and I'm from Indiana. I have been shooting since 1947 and handloading since 1956. I cast bullets for calibers from 6.5mm to 45 but only in the winter when its...
Hi Amy!
I just joined also, welcome to you! Sounds like you're a true shooter to me. I hate liberals with a passion as do most shooters I know.
I have owned two Garands, sold them due to...
I keep waffling on ordering a 6.5X54 reamer from JGS. I'd think it would be a wonderful cast bullet cartridge, much better than the 6.5X55 due to the smaller volume. I have had dies and a hundred...
