This post has been a real hoot for me.
Poll: I'm about to buy my 27th gun. Which one should I buy? Brand X Brand XX Brand A Brand AB The results: Of those listed, the forum members that took the time to respond overwhelmingly chose Brand XX with all sorts of accompanying info/reasons/experience. The writer's response: I bought Brand MM. My thinking and experience resembles those expressed in #69: Quote:

"I just bought a used TC Icon gun in .270 for deer hunting in Montana. It has a gloss finish stock, a 14 lb trigger pull, and a BSA Catseye 4-32x75 scope in See-Thru rings from Walmart. My first time reloads have 107.3 grains of H-4831, Win LR primers and 250 gr. Serrico Silver tip heads in neck sized Laupua cases. I'm getting good groups but they are high and to the right. Would I get better accuracy if I used ICC primers? I'm using RCBS dies."
For sure, but only if the wind is coming from the right or behind you, winds from the left and in your face need Remington primers. "My Lyman #46 manual says 28.5 gr. of IMR-3031 and a 170 gr. bullet is the most accurate load but it doesn't say which bullet they used. Can I shoot 1" groups with that recepit from my Win 94 and iron sights until I can get a scope for it if I shoot off sand bags on my portable shooting bench and it's not too cold? Will that load kill a deer?" Almost certainly. But make sure you change the sand in your bags each spring to keep it from wearing out and destroying your groups. "No matter what I do i can't get groups better than an inch and a half. Does my die set have too much headspace?" Have you checked for a loose nut on the press lever?

"How much money can I save by reloading?" - Half the price of factory ammo "How do you remove live primers from an empty case?" - use your gun to fire off the primer, then remove "Your choice of primers?" - CCI "Accuracy expectations in handgun reloading?" - More so than factory "Plated vs copper jacket?" - jacket "Help with Bullseye Load?" - trial an error "338 RUM loads" - good luck! "Not sure about this..." - i thikn we can all agree on that one.

If all else fails, read the instructions......................
Sometimes I live by that creed and regret it! Fortunately it hasnt been applied to anything serious.

"Will bullet XX shoot well in my XY?" Only one way to find out.
"Do you use a 1:9" or a 1:7" twist on your AR-15 to maximize accuracy with 55gr ball?" Neither, ball ammo will bite equally in both. "Can't figure out my accuracy problem with X." Check trigger nut for tightness. "What bullets do you prefer for XX caliber?" Whatever's cheapest, we'll work out the details later. And a question I will admit to having asked, "What is the best powder for XX cartridge and bullet?" The answer? Still haven't found out yet. Quote:

My idiot Brother-in-law asked me if shooting reloads would blow up his gun.I couldn't resist saying,"In your case, yes." I'd love to nominate him for a Darwin Award. He's living proof that some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or own a gun.

I think were all guilty of asking a question like one of these at some point. and maybe people are taking this thread a little seriously, some posts are halarious but i would still prefer that people ask a question no matter how dumb it may be than they hurt themselves or somebody else.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. There is a chronic lack of basic high school math/physics knowledge exhibited by some who post here. It can be frustrating that folks involved in an exacting endeavor can’t think through simple problems for themselves and, therefore, rely on the advice of anonymous posters. I started reloading 35 years ago and knew no other reloaders; yeah, I learned it by reading books, making mistakes, and thinking through problems. A lot of the questions that come up on this forum just show a lack of common sense possessed by the posters. Keep the irony coming.
