    Old Powder, Old reloads

    Making the brass from 06 is doable, but you have to turn the necks since on 22-250 brass you are making the neck out of the brass body of the 06 and making the neck thick. That's one potential problem that would lead to high pressure, difficulty chambering and inconsistent performance. If a lot...

    Reloader 17 Available

    Interesting as Switzerland as of today will not sell arms etc to the US over Middle East military involvement. Reminder 17 is a great powder for most medium and large cases.

    Hunting knives recommendations?

    My Montana homesteader Grandpa made his from sawmill blades. We still have a butcher, a skinner and a cleaver of his. They hold an edge better when cutting up elk deer and lamb than our high end Henckel or Solingen knives. Owning something made by a family member is the best! Perhaps something...

    So We Think We Are Pretty Good Shots, watch the Olympic Alpine Biathlon

    Chrony repair

    I couldn't find they were still in business as I needed a new screen. Ended up using one of those Chinese hot plastic staplers to repair the the screens and as a bonus they are one piece now and are easier to install.
