Wringing out the Ruger American Predator 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on July 16, 2016 by shamanAugust 6, 2021  

I was out shooting with my new Ruger American Predator in 223 REM. Overall, I impressed with a lot of things. There are a few flaws, but they are minor. I am also very happy with the Bushnell Banner 6-24X40mm scope I mounted on it. My only beef is that … Continue reading →

I’ve Been Busy in the Reloading Cave 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 20, 2016 by shamanMarch 20, 2022  

I realize y’all have not been hearing much from me lately. Frankly, until this weekend, there was not a whole lot to tell. We stayed home from Turkey Camp again this weekend. It rained yesterday and it was cold. Angus and I got down to open up Turkey Camp in … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on August 2, 2015 by shamanOctober 12, 2022  

It is still only the first week in August, but I am already getting ready for deer season. Two new treestands arrived from SportsmansGuide.com. These buddy stands cost less than $90 each and by rejoining the Buyers’ Club, I got the shipping for free. I’ll be scouting for new stand … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on July 13, 2015 by shamanAugust 6, 2021 2

The Whelenizer is back on the rack, I had a blast trying out my new cast loads down at camp over the weekend. I went with the idea of loading as I went, 5 rounds at a time, and I got a chance to survey all the territory between 42 … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on July 6, 2015 by shamanAugust 6, 2021  

I have been working feverishly with new cast loads for my 35 cals. This past weekend, I finally got a chance to run them through the chronograph. 35 Whelen I pulled the Whelenizer out of the rotation last year in preference to my new 30-06 Ruger Hawkeye. This year, it … Continue reading →

Now THAT was 8lbs of Powder! 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on June 3, 2015 by shamanMay 19, 2023  

I just purchased an 8 lb container of H4895. When I went looking, Brownells had the best price I could find: $210.44 delivered. Brownell’s cancelled the order right after I placed it. I guess somebody finally got around to looking on the shelf and realized they were out. Graf’s was … Continue reading →

Call me a Dipper 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on December 27, 2014 by shamanAugust 4, 2021 1

When I got into reloading in 2000, I started with a RCBS kit that has served me remarkably well over the years. It came with a Uniflow powder measure. Up until this past fall, I really could not have complained about its function. Then I tried loading H4831SC, and all … Continue reading →

I’ve mentioned the Shamanic Reloading Cave over the years. You may or may not have this idea of it. Occasionally I’ve even taken a picture or two inside of it. However, y’all probably have never really seen it. In reality it never fully existed, at least not as a single … Continue reading →

Reality sets in 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on September 18, 2011 by shamanJuly 29, 2021  

I’m not sure what I was expecting. This was not a project to make a 30-30 into a 30-06. It wasn’t even going to get the Marlin to perform like a 300 Savage. It was meant to get a 30 WCF to do as well as it could. It did. … Continue reading →

From the D&DH Forum Postby MSHunter » Sun Jul 03, 2011 6:26 pm Here is a question for you more experienced reloaders. On Hodgdon’s website they have a sheet of youth/reduced recoil loads. In the paragraph before the load data they state that a medium burning powder be used and … Continue reading →

Should I Reload? PT II 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on January 31, 2011 by shamanMay 25, 2021  

Assuming you really are thinking of taking the leap, I wanted to share what you what comes next. From here on out, a lot of this is going to depend on your personal style of reloading. What is your personal style? That is hard to say, but nearly every guy I know has his own quirks. We all pretty much get there, but we get there in different ways. The bottom line is that there is more to the color of paint on the press. Each press is a little different, but whether one is better than the other is in the eye of the beholder. The same goes for all the other pieces.

Should I Reload? PT I 5 (4)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on January 24, 2011 by shamanJanuary 27, 2026 2

Let me begin by asking some questions:

* Are you satisfied with your selection of ammunition? Can you go to the store and buy what you want?
* Are you plagued by excessive recoil with your deer rifle?
* Are you satisfied with the accuracy of your deer rifle?
* Are you appalled at the price of ammunition?

35cal.com is back. It had been down for quite a while, and I’m glad to see Whelen back in operation. This is a really great site for 35 caliber fans– 35 Rem, 35 Whelen, .358 Win, etc. I found it extremely helpful when I was developing loads for The Whelenizer, a Rem 7600 in 35 Whelen.

The Case for Cheap Bullets 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on May 18, 2010 by shamanJanuary 26, 2025  

Well, not really cheap bullets. “The Case for the Standard Hunting Bullet for Whitetail Deer,” is probably more accurate, but it sounds like a master thesis. This is just a rant. “The Case Against Premium Bullets” sounds mean spirited and negative. I am going to speak heresy here. I am … Continue reading →

With gas prices, inflation, etc. kicking me in the wallet, I decided that I would try a new reloading project.

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on July 7, 2005 by shamanAugust 5, 2021  

I’ve spent most of my life living with cheap bullets and cheap ammo on deer and not had much of a problem. Most of my time has been spent with Remington 12 Ga sluggers and Walmart special 180 grain 30-06. I hunt dense cedars and Eastern hardwoods, and I hunt … Continue reading →

Genesis 9:2-4

2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
