Well that's disheartening. Was really hoping for a price reduction in the coming months. Passed on 8lbs of IMR4350 locally the other day @$425. Maybe should've jumped.

50-100yds. All the guides I know usually don't want to be shooting any further than that.

I won't continue the bashing but will just agree with what others have said regarding availability and pricing of components. Since Nosler finally did a run of .308 200gr Accubonds a few months back I now have enough of their bullets in all practical calibers on the shelf to load and hunt...

Uh-oh. That's a shame.

Yup, I'd call that load developed. Strong work.

Very excellent. I really love the hot cors personally. I've taken to working a load with them in most of my rifles. An inexpensive and accurate bullet that I can practice with all off season and not worry about if I don't get re-zeroed with the "premiums" for a hunt on a whim. Just grab and go...

I still use the Lyman universal trimmer. Not fancy and very tedious, spent a few hours behind it last weekend, but I get consistent results. I only trim every 3rd firing after the 1st though so the tedium is reduced. This past weekend was just a perfect storm of a very large batch, about 600...

I'll definitely be making the switch. I've just used the magnetospeed for years during load development. Have always wanted something to take to the range to shoot over and gather larger data sets but didn't want to deal with the setup on other options. I never shot with the magnetospeed at the...

Amazed it didn't exit. Would expect that one to keep going. Perfect performance though. Good catch and nice buck.

Almost exclusively leupold though just ordered a 3-12 maven I'm excited to try out.

All merino under layers for me. I overheat easily and it seems to have a temperature regulation property to it.

Awesome

That first 200gr Speer load looks ready to rock to me. Should be a hammer on deer for you.

Was lucky enough this past week and a half to accompany a couple friends on a very hard to draw Bison hunt tag(s) here in AK in the Delta Junction area. They pretty well won the lottery when they party applied for the hunt and subsequently both drew. Scouted the area for a couple days prior to...

I was at an estate sale a couple months back and bought a bunch of old powder, mainly just for the cans for decoration as I have no idea how it was stored obviously. Also picked up a brick of unknown vintage CCI250's, sticker price was $6.50.....

Depends on the rifle. My '06 shoots the 165's of each the same. Same charge/velocity/groups/POI. My .308 with 150's not so much. Completely different.

Listened to a couple interesting podcasts recently that touch on this. Long and short of them are that for most of us reloaders, all of the hard data we get from a certain load is from a sample size that is too small to be considered representative of what's really happening. Speaking SD/ES...

Nice write up and sounds like it was a decent trip even without a legal bull Bear. It has definitely been another wet one up here. I've got another two weeks before I head out to camp for the final week of the season down on the Kenai. Hoping for some better/colder weather by then. Sucks on the...

It's delicious. I try to do a few pieces of corned moose whenever I fill my tag. Then I make pastrami out of one or two of them. Wouldn't call it labor intensive but it is time consuming. Most of it's just waiting time though. Brine the cuts for a few days and then rub/smoke for the pastrami...

Wow. The winchester powders are about the only ones that are "reasonably" priced here in AK. That's just plain robbery.
