Thanks but I've got plenty of brass

I had a Swarovski many years ago and like a fool I sold it. One of the worst mistakes I ever made. S&B scopes are out of my price range.

Whole set!

Im not sure if this is the place for this, I just bought a 308 win and I thought I had a 308 die, however, after looking I do not have one. Would anyone here have a 308 win die they would be willing to trade for a RCBS 7mm Rem mag die?

I was at my local Wally World yesterday and they had a Ruger American 308 on "clearance" for 340 dollars. I really didn't need it but need is sometimes not the deciding factor. 😁 I was wondering if any of you all had any shareable load data? I really like 165 gr bullets in a 308, however...

Update: After I posted this I had the opportunity to go to the range. After a few shots and a few adjustments my grandson said, "papa that thing is still shooting a little high and to the right". I took the bolt out of the rifle and while looking down the bore I turned the elevation dial and the...

I bet you failed recess in school, cause you ain't playing around! LOL

Never used any Retumbo but I shot RL22 and IMR-4831with either a 140 gr Partition or 140 gr BT in my 7 mag with outstanding results for many years. For whatever reason I eventually started using the 150 gr Ballistic Tip with stellar results as well.

If you buy powder at todays prices it should come with a "drink and cigarette" LOL

I have a Leupold VX3-HD that I was resetting to optical center the other day and noticed I didn't have the required "clicks" to match the specification of 75 MOA. If one MOA is 1.047 at 100 yds there should be 300 clicks of total elevation travel. 37.5 moa up and 37.5 moa down, which works out...

Im not sure any true panaceas exist but if one does exist I think it would be the 165 gr in the 308. It's my favorite bullet weight in this caliber.

Im in SC, about an hour and half or less from Asheville, and yes, super liberal and it is the San Francisco of the East coast. Plenty of mountainous terrain to hunt though

The Chattahoochee National Forest encompasses over 700,000 acres that covers several states. The Cherokee National Forest encompasses 650,000 in several states as well. As you would expect those mountains are really tough. Those Mtns hold some big whitetails as well as bears but they are elusive...

I got this pic several years ago on one of my trail cams.

Great pic my brother. In SC we have two permanent hawks, Red-Tail and Red Shoulder, however we have other species at different times of the year. We also have Broad-winged Hawk, and the Swainson's and Rough-legged Hawks, they are rare but regular Winter visitors.
