Re: NEW Die Bushings

I happened on to the website selling these bushing dies after finding the sizes I needed were out of stock (of course) at the regular suppliers I use. After receiving my first order, all I can say is, "Wow, finally a better source with great prices and super fast shipping!" Keep up the goo...

Re: 3 plus a flyer?

I've noticed with my Cooper Model 21 that after shooting about 10-15 round checking loads, seems to open the pattern significantly. It hasn't been an issue at all while shooting prairie dogs since there is more time between shots. Mine has a fluted heavy barrel. But Cooper barrels are not near as he...

39gr. Bullets

Do most of you loading 39gr. SBK bullets use the printed 40 gr. recipes? I don't see any published recipes for these bullets and don't have a Sierra loading manual. BTW, while were at it, what do you like for 35gr Bergers using Varget and 8208 XBR.

Re: Help with my Contender

Grendel, as I said, my buddy's gun is exactly the same, 1:12 twist, 23". Only difference in our guns is mine is fancier looking.

Help with my Contender

I just put together a Thompson Contender (old style) with a new, Thompson Arms 204 Ruger , 23" SS barrel with the standard 1:12 twist. Beautiful custom stock set from Highplains Gunstocks and Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 scope. It is one of the best looking rifles in my arsenal. Now the problem. Tak...
