    Scope Conundrum!

    Scopes drive me nuts! Life was easy when all manufacturers used a standard reticle or a modification there of. I happen to prefer a Duplex reticle and it isn't even available from some of the scope manufacturers. And those that do offer it, don't offer it across there full line. Today it seems...

    Sorry, my post is in regards to NBTs and not a non-BT boattail.

    Solid Baser Boat Tail Non-Ballistic Tip

    When Nosler originally dropped the Solid Base and brought out the NBT, I switched to it for my 257 Roberts. After three seasons and three bucks I discontinued using them. All three bucks were recovered with difficulty, due to to no blood trails. These deer were harvested at ranges from 90 to 188...

    Chrony repair

    Shooting Chrony was actually a Canadian manufacturer that had a business location in New York. Did they completely go out of business or just close the New York location? Maybe some of the forum members to the North would know.

    I would like to see them bring back the .25 caliber 120 grain Solid Base.

    Vintage 250 Savage Loads/ reloads (pic)

    I've never owned a 250 Savage, but it has a solid following. I would be proud to sit with one in my deer stand.

    Stuck Cases? Plenty of Lube

    I've not experienced a stuck case since I discontinued the use of spray lubes, and went back to using the wax lubes. The spray lubes just didn't do it for me. For me, keeping my dies clean, using a good wax case lube, and Imperial dry neck lube is the way to go.

    For the 41 Magnum

    That is a nice looking case that reflects quality all the way around.

    Getting older/different shooting priorities

    At 75, my need to kill has diminished greatly. My 2025 Wisconsin gun deer season was enjoyable with spending 45 hours and observing 34 deer. The first day letting a basket 8pt pass and a spike on the 3rd day. I did harvest a nice 8pt (a want a be 10pt) on my fifth day, It put venison in the...

    280 Remington

    Ditto on the 280 being a a fantastic cartridge. I own two, a Ruger #1B and a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle. The Ruger shoots right at MOA or just over and the Remington is sub MOA, with IMR-4350 and 140s. I've only used mine on deer and I can't complain on the results. I will keep shooting 4350...

    So Glad That I Tried Different Rifle Cartridges & Loads!

    Guy, I think your article is spot on. However, over the years I've accumulated far too many and each is loaded with its preferred recipe. My goal is to harvest at least one white tail with each that is above .224 caliber. This year that was a Remington 600 in 6.5 Remington Magnum, and to its...

    Remington 7600 Rifle

    Find a 7600 in 30-06 or 270 and ship it to JES. He does a great job of reboring to .35 Whelen. I have a new Winchester model 70 Featherweight in 30-06 that I plan to ship to him for reboring to .35 Whelen after the holidays. I previously had him rebore a Savage 99C in .308 to .358 Win that I am...
