Within a year i plan on owning some guns that merit reloading, and having only reloaded 30-06 rounds in Boy Scouts long ago, i don’t know where to start. Now this isn’t just another "How do i get into reloading?" question, but rather, i also have questions about reloading certain rounds, and what equipment can do them.
I plan on getting a PS90 in 5.7×28mm, which is a round that i cannot find locally, so i wonder if this is a round people reload, and what equipment works for it? I’m simply looking for economy here, for this gun being a really fun plinker.
I also am considering a rifle in .500 S&W, and at per shot, have to imagine i can save alot by reloading.
I also have a Tikka T3 .223 for varmint hunting (but mostly just 100 yard target shooting), is it worth reloading for accuracy? Or not, when rounds are so cheap?
I’d also like to load my own 2 3/4" 12ga shotgun shells, though not very many. (cheap hand tools?)
Is there a reloading press with dies for most of these?
Oh and i suppose if i’m reloading, i’d also do .308 and 30-06 for our deer guns, and maybe even get into doing .357 if there was sufficient cost savings and availability of superior rounds (like what CCI puts in their aluminum shelled rounds, best looking bullets i’ve seen compared to the big name brands). Eventually maybe .45ACP as well, for a USP. There seems to be an inverse exponential correlation between the number of years i’ve been single, and the number of guns i’ve been adding to my collection…
I live in ontario and my hunting partner owns some farm land which i hunt rabbit, deer, duck&geese and this year i am hunting coyote. Now there are tons of coyote there, last year while hunting whitetail i saw 4 coyotes in 3 hours.
Now my hunting partner is using his 223. with 55 grain ballistic silver tips. I dont own a varmint load but i am getting one soon. Im looking into getting a 22-250 because i have hunted with it before and loved it. I was either thinking of getting it in the remington model 700 sps stainless or the browning A-Bolt varmint stalker. Which one should i get? But i am hunting with a 270. win 100 grain untill i get it
I am 17 turning 18 in January. I live in the country have a lot of varmints and deer on a couple 100 acre property( forest,fields you know ) I am thinking maybe a semi-automatic maybe .223? I want to go big game hunting around Canada. So I am thinking of getting two rifles —1 varmint semi—-1 bolt action big bastard—- I have a clean record and wont be stupid with it I am just wondering how hard will it be for me to maybe get a remington r-25? I live in Ontario. I am guessing its a restricted firearm if i just want to use the gun for target and hunting will it not be a problem going through the safety courses and what not? Can you help me in any way here or give me any tips or advice?
I shoot a deer. I eat the deer. Well, I at least eat most of the deer. Well, maybe most of the easy to cut off muscle and organs. You shoot a coyote, you don’t eat it. You shoot a woodchuck, you don’t eat it. You shoot a crow, you don’t eat it. Should you be shooting things you don’t eat?
And what is the point of people who want to hunt wolf? You aren’t going to eat it, are you?

Don’t reply hunting for wild buffalo on the Serengeti, something achievable for the average middle class person is requested..
I mean something you have done before and look forward to such as Deer or Varmint, Coyotes or Boar or Bear, whatever…..
Any reason why this one game type is specially enjoyable to you
I am very interested in this rifle. Light, rigid, great accuracy out of the box. I want to hunt from coyote to deer, and possibly elk, but am unsure of the "varmint" tag. I don’t care to shoot prairie dogs, but enjoy the range.
I need a new varmint rifle. My buddys farm has a coyote problem and there eating his chickens, whiles his 2 neighbors are also having the same problems with chickens and turkeys. The yotes are eating them and scaring the calfs. He and his neighbors asked me to hunt them. I use to borrow a rifle from a friend but hes hunting with me. I dont really want a 223. rem. But i cant decide between a 204. ruger, 22-250. rem or the 243. win. I have a 12 guage, 30-30. win, 7mm rem mag and a 30-06 but i cant use the rifles of that caliber where i hunt and i need a longer range firearm then a 12 gauge. I find the 204 interesting but i dont know anyone who shoots one. I love the 22-250 and the 243. win. I was thinking of getting the 243. win cause if i needed too then i could take a deer or too, but at the same time im not sure if i want to use this rifle for just strickly varmint or not. What would you suggest? I believe i will be getting it in a Tikka T3 Laminated Stainless with a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10×42mm silver with BDC reticle or a Nikon buckmaster 4.5-14×40mm silver without BDC reticle. as well as a Harris bipod but i dont know what size
Stupidnameshaveallbeentaken- i cant use a 30-30, 7mm or my 30-06 because there all bigger then .275. In my area we cant use anything bigger then .275 so we can use a 270. win and down.
My honey said post this. In the animal, kingdom pertaining to predators, lions specifically, the male defends the territory from rogue males looking to take over while the Lioness does the hunting to feed the pride; this is instinct and natural order. Some "chicks" find it stange that I hunt. I got my 15th deer in my life last season on the Eglin AFB reservation AKA the range and it has many good little hunting spots. I come from a family of avid hunters and have been raised this way. Guys think it’s odd too because I don’t "look" like the huntress type. My neigbor saw the last one I shot, SMALL, said "you shot a friggin jack rabbit! you should be ashamed of your self!". LOL
Tonight I made some shish-ka-bobs with the pathetic amount of meat that little guy yeilded. I guess I’m trying to ask: At what point did we TRUE providers get away from the duty we used to perform when we were TRUE mamals? Girls don’t knock it until you tried it! Trolls, you know where to stick your opinions!
I never realized the number of hatefull people that were on here. WOW
For those who get wrongfully judged so often…I can believe how judgemental you’ve become.
I am an avid hunter in AZ, I already have a 30-06 and 2 shotguns plus a bunch of handguns. I want to add another rifle to my collection, I usually use my 30-06 for deer but I want to hunt coyote, javelina, other predators and possibly more. I am looking for a gun that is light and can be used to take all of these animals, it needs to be smaller than a 30-06 though.
These are the ones I’ve been looking at.
Marlin 30-30
Marlin .444
.243 of some sort
45-70
Please keep in mind I want a simple and light weight gun.

I’m buying a Tikka T3 Super Varmint but i’m unsure which calibre to go with. It will be mostly used for medium to long range varmint hunting, of course, but occasionally deer too so it needs to have some stopping power without being overkill for varmint.
These are the options:
204 Ruger
222 Rem
223 Rem
22-250 Rem
243 Win
260 Rem
308 Win
they are both for sport and in both the animal always dies. what’s the difference between watching two dogs fight and shooting deer or squirrels. Even though people can eat deer or squirrels people don’t eat them to survive they do it for fun.
i am 13 i hunt in middle illinois. it is mixed country with farmland and fields. the coyotes have really taken a toll on the deer. i might eventually hunt fox and other varmints. i plan to use the fur. i want a gun that will take them cleanly at 250 yards with minimal pelt damage. as i said earlier i plan to use a .223. i would really appreciate it if no one calls me cruel.
In the past I’ve been 100% against hunting, because as some of you may know, I was brainwashed by PETA into believing that all killing, even if it’s just stepping on an ant or buying a hamburger, is evil and is a sin and blah blah blah. (Fortunately I’ve snapped out of that phase now and I KNOW for certain that PETA is retarded.) Now, I think moderate hunting of animals that are not endangered, such as deer, is acceptable since very few of the deer’s natural predators remain in the wild to keep the population down (and as long as the hunter doesn’t just kill the deer to make a trophy). I also know that some people use dogs like spaniels and retrievers to aid in the hunt, which I have nothing against unless the dog hates his work.
So I’ve been wondering, which breeds are used the most for hunting, and what exactly do they do during the hunt? Like, do they carry the birds back to the car, or what? Just curious!
Oh yeah, and if any of you are hunters, is it fun? What’s the experience like? I’m thinking about hunting maybe once in a while when I grow up so I can give my dogs a wild, healthy source of meat (better than the processed stuff at the stores)….still thinking, since sometimes hunters are accidentally shot by other hunters. Quote - "How would you know if a dog hates his job?"
I’m actually not sure. I’ve never hunted, unless you count the many times my Bichon frise and I have chased squirrels and rabbits for fun, but I guess maybe the dog would growl every time his owner took out his hunting gear. That idea did not come from PETA. It formed only, say, a week ago - I promised myself that if I ever became a hunter, I would never FORCE a dog to assist me during my hunts. I would bring him along if he seemed eager to do the job. That’s all.
Long range marksmanship shooting a milk jug at 700 yards with the Brown 97D Rifle and 6.5mm BRM cartridge shooting Berger Bullets. Demonstrating accuracy and power with mild recoil. Applicable to deer hunting, antelope hunters, elk hunting, and target shooters. The 97D is a single shot rifle of modern design.
Sure, I can understand how field raised meat is very cruel, they’re just raised to be killed and they’re pumped with growth hormones until they’re brutally slaughtered and produce the fattening meat at McDonalds.
But unlike raised meat, the deer I hunt live full lives and they are spared a horrible death in exchange for a clean rifle shot. Deer are more likely to die in the jaws of a predator than from old age, and hunting also prevents them from running up in your backyard and stealing your trash.
This is how to cam the rest of your gun, IE the stock, scope, action housing, To see how to camo the barrel see my other video, Called “the Ultimate barrel camo” or something like that.
