DNR Seeking Tips On Illegal Elk Shooting
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) needs the public’s help to gather information on...
Have any of you went through the process of converting a Colt 1911 or clone with a series 80 trigger to a series 70 trigger? If you did, whos components/parts did you use and in reality what did it get you? From the YOUTUBE videos that I've watched it looks like an easy conversion.
I've been interested in trying a hydralic die verses fire forming, and when I looked into it Whidden had stop production. I now see that Hornady is offering custom hydralic dies and they have a video out there. They are a little spendy at $200+, but primers, powder, and bullets aren't getting...
I have 197 Swift Sciricco II 210 grain .338 diameter polymer tip boat tail spitzer bonded bullets for sale, $80 shipped to any place in lower 48 states.
I acquired this set of rings in a trade, and never found a need for them. They appear to be un-used. Someone can have them for $10 to cover the cost of shipping.
Has anyone actually see or laid their hands on one of the new Caldwell Chronographs? I had heard or read that it was going to be in the 300-400 dollar range, but their web site lists it at $549. That would put it in the same price range as the Garmin. If anyone has used one, can you please post...
I'm interested in hearing what powders are considered "must have" on your shelf for working up loads. Also, what cartridges you would consider them useful for. We know that there is no such thing as a universal powder but some tend to be our go-to choices to at least try. For me four powders are...
The 50 caliber Green Mountain 1:28 barrel That I put on my Lyman DeerStalker is tight. It makes it difficult to load quickly if you would need a follow up. Has anyone found Sabot sleeves that make reloading easier?
Does anyone have any experience with a Ruger #1 and the Hick's #1 Accurizer block, Pro or Con? If you do, Did you install it yourself or have a smith do it? I've got a 1B in a 280 that just doesn't shoot as well as I think it should and am considering adding one of these.
I have a Remington 600 with the 18.5" vent rib barrel in 6.5 Remington Magnum. I've loaded 120 Nosler's with H4831 that shoot well but there is way too much muzzle flash. I'm assuming unburnt powder. I would like to try the 125 NPT but with some something that will be accurate and reduce the...
Is there a better burn chart that gives more information available? Example, I've been out of Reloader 17 for some time and am now getting very low on what I had loaded. The burn charts list Reloader 17 at 134, H4350 at 133, and Accurate 4350 at 135. But without more data or purchasing both and...
I'm thinking about a rifle build in 35 Whelen or 35 Whelen Ackley Improved. The donor rifle is a Ruger #1AB in 30-06 that has never been fired. The 1AB is equipped with a 22" barrel. If I have it rebored is it worth doing the AI in a 22" barrel. My son's Remington 760 in 35 Whelen performs well...
I read that Sierra and Barnes are being sold and that it is supposed to take place 1QTR24. It is appearently the same company that holds Savage. I hope we see improvements in product availability after it all settles out. Has anyone else read this?
