thanksgiving

This is Thanksgiving weekend. I have nothing to say as I am swamped in family.

cartrige parts

There are 4 parts to all firearm cases. They are the case,primer,powder,and the bullet. When I first started out I had my choice of parts to choose from,but,after our new Pres. came into office the parts became scarce. I had to buy what I could get, as I could get them. I quickly found out that replacement parts are not equal,especially when you shoot at distances of 800yds. or longer. I have found that the primer is the most important part of shooting at these distances.I have always used Federal primers since I was young,now that these parts are scarce I began using other primers so I still could shoot.I also quickly found out that these other primers failed to give me the groups that I was use to. Now don't get me wrong other primers are all right for shooters that shoot at 300 yds. or less. I found that different brands of primers changed the groups that I was use to (1.5") to groups as big as 6" at 800yds.
 Now don't get me wrong these primers could still work as well as my favorite ones, but, I would have to change the other parts as well to make the groups that Iwas used to. This would cause me to waste precious  powder and bullets. This is a little 411 from someone that does a lot of shooting. More next week.

week

Now I will tell you about the parts of a .300 wm there are 4 parts case, primer, powder,and a bullet. these things are very important. The primer is the most important(at distances of more than 600yds)I shoot more than that. I Shoot golf balls at 900yds. about 50-75% of the time. The primer starts the process of ingition. I was use to getting my favorite primer when I needed it,but after Obama won the ammo industry was over run with buying of parts. I have to leave my grand daughter want to play. Sorry.

What bit me

This blog is about what bit me in my life. Everyone has been bitten by something, be it computers,running,sking,or anything that you like to do.
I have been bitten by the Shooting bug. I started when I was about 10 years old.
Since I was 16 I have been reloading my own loads.
As this blog goes on I will give you the 411 on reloading as I have learned over the years.
