    Ceramic African Rosewood

    Howie, if you've never tried it, you should try a stone like you'd condition glass or crystal. They are great to condition ceramic surfaced pot calls with. Your call looks fantastic

    Spring Turkey Call Orders

    I gotcha. I was curious. Not all hunters like ceramic but when its done right, ceramic is a favorite of mine.

    Echo 3wt Fly Rod / Reel Package

    This rod is still for sale. This package will make a great outfit for someone to use this coming spring on everything from panfish and trout to light bass

    Ever heard of these?

    I'd say your right but I kinda assume most (at least a large percentage) would be the small rifle primer type. Where are all the large rifle primers ?

    Sportsman warehouse reloader 15/22

    My local store just got a shipment of RL 22 in yesterday. They were pricing each 1 pound bottle at $71 and change. A store less than 2 miles away has two (2) one pound bottles of RL 16 and they want $99.98 per pound. I about passed out when I saw that. When I burn up my Alliant powder...

    Remington Sportsman 78

    HAWK, I can attest to the JES rebore. I bought a nice 700ADL 30-06 and sent just the barreled action with bolt by FedEx to JES and per his instructions included a postal money order and a short note with what I wanted it to be rebored to inside the box. I opted for a 338-06 due to bullet...

    Cold Day of Testing (338-06)

    Preacher, I have a Rem 700 ADL that I sent to JES and had him rebore to a 338-06. I've found really good accuracy in mine with H380 with the 200gr Speer, 210 partition, and the 215 Sierra GK. I also have had great accuracy with the 210 partition loaded over 61gr of H4350. IMR 4064, VARGET...

    A new load for my 7x57

    I recently came across an old red/black box of the old Nosler Solid Base 7mm 120sp. Just on a whim, I loaded some with the same powder charge as my favorite load with 120gr BT and VARGET. I was impressed as the SB shot almost the same groups as the BT. I decided to try the SB with some...

    Nosler 2024 Bullet Wish List

    Does it even matter ? They can't even keep up with their current line up anyways. Even if they could Nosler is extremely proud of their bullets charging the same price for 50 of their bullets that other makers charge for 100 bullets

    280 AI, 132gr Tipped Hammer

    Is that a Weatherby? Your load workup looks good to go. I hope you get to let the air out of one with the Hammers.

    Spike bull elk

    Congrats on the bull. So did you pack out the head due to regulations or are you going to make a Euro mount with him ? I think the spikes are cool

    WV Fall Turkey Tag - PUNCHED

    Went out this morning with the purpose of looking for a buck. Turkey season is open for either sex birds in selected WV counties, one of which being the county where I had permission to hunt at. Everything was super quiet having only seen a squirrel up until about 10am. Out of the blue, I...

    Powder valley big game

    I've used BigGame in a 6.5 creedmoor, 7x57, and 8x57 and it's performed great with the bullets I've tried it with. I've used Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor, 7x57, and 280AckImp. It too has been great, but lately it's been nonexistent as far as finding any.
