My empty cases are stored in plastic ammo boxes labeled with calibre. I always try to do all the brass prep up to but not including priming in one go, and have a label inside each box with number of...

I size,prime, and store cases in sistema plastic containers. To me, it's the ideal place in the loading sequence to stop, until I either need to load more, or decide to change my loads. Makes...

You'd think that if you could store primed cases under the same conditions as your unopened primers they'd be fine. I keep my primers in a fairly warm even tempertatured place and in a big ziplock...

Here is the 150gn Ballistic Top from last week's stag. It went through the thick bone of the leg and ended up weighing 88 Grains. I think it held together pretty well. 123209

Out to the 500 yards I ever shoot to I don't think BC is a significant factor. The excellent value 160 7mm Fusions BC is .440 and that's good enough middle of the road for me. Same with the BTs'. A...
