    Reliable scopes for carbines?

    I have a newer Redfield 2x7 and an OOOOOLD weaver 1.5x4.5 that I like, but now that you mention it the Redfield may not be settling that fast. I need to adjust for a new load and will pay attention next time at the range.

    Fatal Mountain Lion Attack in California!

    Really hard to just get a gun or ammo. If I remember right you have to have a hunting or fishing license and be doing those activities to carry unless you are one of the lucky few from a Northern County that will allow a concealed permit. The 18 year old may be SOL to carry anything for most...

    Fatal Mountain Lion Attack in California!

    It is so rare to have wild animal attacks in CA that a gun or spray seems like dead weight. The bears behave like big chipmunks. However if you are doing some activity that makes you look like prey to a cat that's another thing. Bending down to berry pick, or take water samples, solo Trail...

    Really???

    Price gouging. Everyone's doing it. Record high profits for many companies. It's what the market will bear, tho some things like medicine, people have no choice. The companies are hiding behind earlier supply chain issues during Covid. Even the local coffee place gives you the option of a 30%...

    And yet again....

    Local store has ball powders in the mid $40's and stick powders around $60. Not a large selection tho. Finally some large rifle primers, at $9 a tray. Cheaper than Sportsmans and Cabelas.

    Filson quality is gone.....

    Vietnam is the place that killed most US outdoor gear makers. More than China. I can’t compete with Sewists who make $65 a (72 hour) week Also Woolrich. I have worn out several of their Alaskan shirts in may life. Not make anymore. They make fashion clothes from Italy.

    The Redding seater die is the same shape as the sizing die, but larger, we took out the seater plug and adjusted it so the brass didn't reach the crimping part (set the bottom of the die about a nickel's thickness from the shell holder). Also- Don't have pictures as we did it at the in-laws...

    Update Made some brass from 45-70. We annealed once fired brass and tried to run it thru the standard sizing die. Took for ever, cracked the bench top from the force needed. Not really working, tho we got 4 pieces. Last ditch we ran the brass thru the seater die. That worked. Then the sizing...

    Wayne and NRA found guilty

    Wayne raised a lot of money in my state, then spent little effort in fighting against a huge number of bad bills. The board is equally selfish.

    My friend mentioned he saw a youtube where they took the point off a Nosler Partition for the 33 WCF. Don't have a lathe. Probably some other way around it. (Drill maybe) Some say a non partition might leave the jacket in the bore. ??? Another question- We have 10 pieces of fired brass with 3...

    Ordered some Speer 200 grain Hot Cor. Speer said the expansion should be okay and can seat deep enough to fit in action. Will be a two shooter with the Spitzer tip. Hornady said their 200 SST wouldn't eject if unfired.
