Went hunting with a buddy from work at my hunt club in SC yesterday. Slow start, we only heard one gobble and he barely responded to his call. We repositioned to a different area and saw a turkey strutting on the road next to a small pair of food plots. We slinked off the road and called a...

Check the Hodgdon site, they have an article on there about how to do reduced loads with H4895, NOT IMR4895. It's very tolerant of reduced loads.

Those Hornady hydraulic form dies seem very interesting. I only have one wildcat that requires any brass forming, a 6.5-270 JDJ in a 15" Encore. I had to learn to anneal brass to not lose so many. Even fireform loads were/are very accurate. I've hunted with and shot deer and hogs with the...

You can check the bullet test forums for plenty of pics of recovered AB's. My experience is they have been very consistent in their expansion across multiple calibers and generally 60-70% weight retention. These pics are of a 160gr Accubond from a 7 RM into a whitetail. Deer was quartering.

I learned a while ago, if there's a bullet I like and it shoots well, I buy a good supply. That way I don't have to worry about it and prices of things are only increasing. I'm like a lot on here, I constantly keep an eye for the Nosler blems/2nds. Much better deal and I can't tell a difference...

Guess you've been liking the GAP builds? I keep looking at their website, especially the in stock rifles.

Talk about a nice group and consistency with that powder and bullet! Almost looks like it was shot from a different gun. That'll be a very versatile load once you pick a powder charge. Not much a 140gr Partition can't do. What kind of velocity are you getting and barrel length?

Tikka T3x Stainless Hunter in 6.5x55 Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 257 Weatherby Sig P220 Hunter in 10mm Those three are up to deer hunt this year and none have gone hunting yet or a load developed. Also wouldn't mind working up a load in my Marlin 336 in 35 Rem with the RCBS 200gr FN bullets I...

While I have ran some cheap rings before and you don't exactly need to a spend a fortune, I always thought it was funny that some people will spend tons on a rifle and scope and then go the budget route for rings/bases. Stuff happens though and at times, that's all we can afford. That said...

Enough water filled milk jugs will catch pretty much any bullet.

Can't say I'm in the market for one but a very cool pistol. That rear sight is something too.

It really is sweet. Craftsmanship is first rate, everything looks and feels topnotch and of course it shoots lights out. Yes, it's a lot of money. However, instead of buying two or three cheaper pistols, you can just save up and get one really good one. I ended up saving up and selling a pistol...

I certainly don't have the experience you do with double-stack 1911's but went all in and got a Wilson Combat EDCX9 about two years ago and love it. It's the most I've ever spent on one gun and it's now one of my off-duty carry guns. I was looking hard at the Staccato until my FFL got an awesome...

The projectiles are no different than what is already offered in other 7mm's. Like always, select the appropriate bullet for the job at hand. Federal released this load with the excellent Terminal Ascent bullet. The cartridge itself has nothing to do with the questions of bullet performance...

He should charge y'all for as often as people ask him😆
