    Old Powder, Old reloads

    I'd still deprime them and then clean the brass. If not with a tumbler, go old school and rinse a few minutes in vinegar, then several rinses in water, then air dry. Consider annealing if the brass is very old or very used

    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

    If you live near one of the training areas you can try it out. They rent or lend the rifles and skis and give classes. One of my friends who was a downhill instructor found out she was good at it late in life even tho she hadn’t fired a gun before. They fire 22 shorts...
