7mm mag powder?

The Hunting-Washington forum is no less, and no more, reliable as a source of data from any other internet source. Every reloader should have at least a couple reloading books, and even then you can't trust the data 100%.  But I think it's unfair to make it sound as if this site in particular has data posted that is dangerous or unreliable.

What more can I say?

Nothing hopefully. As a forum moderator I would like to believe that the safety and integrity of the forum and it's members is a priority for you. This is not the first time I've seen bad or downright dangerous reloading advice posted by you and others on here.

Jay.sharkbait's comment was tongue in cheek, but still some of the best advice I've seen on here. Far too often reloading experience and reloading skill are confused, here and in the field. It seems to me that the person with the most experience typically isn't the person with the most skill.

It sounds like you are suggesting that Hunt Wa should not allow any reloading information to be posted. I don't think that is going to happen.

Wow if I can't trust my local forum for advice the why are we here. I have gotten nothing but great advice from every member on here. From hunting styles hunting spots  all very helpfull. And tasted better than gas station sushi or any sushi for that matter. I am a new reloaders and would not hesitate to take advice from a guy like bobcat. I am currently loading .308 savage model 10 and savage lrh 6.5x284  . Been studying up on the Interweb for a year before loading a round.  In that I have seen many references to the norma mrp 22 being made in the same factory/being the same powder. A smart man would double check any loading advice and start low and work up. A smart man would probably avoid sushi period.

Yorketransport- this is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable place to discuss hunting, shooting, reloading, etc.

However, you're taking the fun out of it, at least for me, in this particular thread.

Do I have to write in every post "start 10% below max and work your way up?" This is getting old. I don't need you talking down to me.

I've been reloading for 32 years, both shotgun shells and rifle. I'll continue to post my opinions and thoughts. Sorry if you think it's "downright dangerous." Again, if you don't like it, don't read it.

sounds to me like bobcat has done his research and to him they sound the same. You are basically saying don't trust any reloading info on the Internet. How is he supposed to do his research? Trail and error? As long as it's a reliable source I use internet info all the time on many hobbys.

I agree. But I see more bad info shared here than on the limited number of other forums I'm on. I also see far more questions asked by new reloaders here than on other forums. That combination is concerning. Far too often the bad information drowns out the good and goes unchecked. The rebuttal to anyone questioning the bad info is typically a cut and paste response from an Internet search. This shouldn't be a surprise, but backing up bad info with bad info doesn't actually help.

You're not the first one to accuse me not being any fun. Typically I hear that from my employees and my kids though. I get on my employees, kids and friends about unsafe behavior daily. It's my job, my responsibility and my pleasure to do so. As an advocate for the shooting sports it's your responsibility to do the same.

I'm not talking down to you, on the internet everyone is on level ground. That's the problem. Congratulations on your 32 years of reloading. I'm only at about 18 years. I double checked my records and in that time I've reloaded 67 different calibers (27 of those are wildcats and 6 of those are ones that either I designed or worked with the designer) in 142 different rifles. I think my parting comment will be a quote from myself.

Far too often reloading experience and reloading skill are confused, here and in the field. It seems to me that the person with the most experience typically isn't the person with the most skill.

I would hope that anyone getting reloading data from any internet source would treat it with caution and cross-reference it against other resources.

I would like to remind everybody to be careful with their comments and not say anything that may offend someone, you could get suspended from HW for two months.

You are back!

Thanks again for the........uhhhh.. Never mind.

[RadSav]

They say the three topics you should avoid in polite conversation are politics, religion and reloading.

[jay.sharkbait]

I think HW needs a reloading forum and maybe combine it with a long range hunting/shooting component.

And I nominate Yorke to be supreme leader and draw up rules for said forum.( approved by the masses, admin, Dale, illuminati whatever.)

I'm back and rehabilitated.  I'm ready to give back for all the things I've done wrong.  But first I need to learn about brilliant reloading decisions.
