    Nosler 28 Muzzle Break or Can?

    I had issues based on where the muzzle was in relation to the LabRadar. I moved to using a trigger, and no problems since. The biggest problem is if I forget to attach the trigger to the barrel or action before I shoot. Here is one type: https://jklprecision.com/product/labradar-trigger-gen-2/...

    Pulling factory bullets and replacing

    Don't forget, the 30 TC is really the 30 Creedmoor. I believe that you can resize 6.5 CM brass to 30 caliber and shoot away. That gives you a lot of options regarding brass, as long as you don't mind the headstamp variance.

    I need help with reloading a 280 Remington with 19 in barrel

    I'd probably do a Barnes 140 TTSX or 139 LRX. But, that's just me. I've been very impressed with the TTSX on elk as well as all plains game in Africa.

    Anyone with a glass bead blaster?

    What size do you consider medium grit?

    Federal Fusion Tipped Ammo

    I've been trying to find the Tipped Fusion bullet as a component to try for reloading, but so far no luck. I have said for years that the regular Fusion bullet is a much better bullet than anyone gives it credit. Some of the recent weight retention tests show that it keeps >95% of its weight...

    Best Tasting Animal?

    I assume you mean game animal. Domestically, elk. Best I've had? Zebra. It tastes like the absolute best beef you've ever had. Highly recommended.

    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    Which model? Picked up a "scratch and dent" Guide model in 6.5 CM (can I say that?) when there in October. I really like it.

    Bell and Carlson stock fit needs work

    I've had two B&C that fit poorly. Same style stock for same model rifle. The first one I modified to fit, as it was close enough. The forend bent too high, and it was a challenge to remove enough material to free float the barrel. The second one was much worse. B&C gave me the old "it fits our...

    Generic CDS dial for VX3i

    I've never sent in a CDS certificate yet; I just order a label. For some rifles I have 2 or 3, and can swap them depending on load and elevation.

    Generic CDS dial for VX3i

    If you know your bullet, speed and elevation, these are not expensive. I use them on many rifles: https://customturretsystems.com/

    224 Weatherby Mag

    Have you ever seen a 7mm Wby in a Vanguard? I don't recall ever seeing one, and definitely don't own one in that configuration.

    Jet Sled

    I have two different sizes of the JetSled. It was developed here in Michigan, and I knew the owners of the company (Shappell). I had dinner with them at the SHOT show a few times. Both great guys who were meticulous about details. My Dad did all of their ice fishing shanty importing for many...

    307 Alpine CT

    Without getting into a discussion on lands vs accuracy, did he consider removing the divider at the rear of the magazine to make it longer? If a short action 307 is like all of the rest of Weatherby's rifles, there is a divider towards the back that is removable and sets the length. Having said...
