    Are you a sitter or stander when reloading?

    I do both . I stand for about everything except using the press . I sit for all press work , and primer seating with my handheld primer seater . I anneal on the basement cement floor . so I'm on my knees while I do this . when sitting I use a barstool that was gifted to me by one of the...

    Browning Model 71 Range Report

    that is beautiful . I'd be afraid to use it , from the fear of scuffing it . it's shoots well too . looks like Caleb , is a natural with open sights . well done Boys .

    Enough is Enough

    I give Sally a glucosamine morning , and evening . I boost her into the back seat of the truck . she doesn't let me help on the way out of the truck . but she steps from the seat to the door seal to the ground . I try to make things as easy on her as I can . she's a big dog weighs...

    Enough is Enough

    sounds like your Manny is a good dog . wishing him the best speedy recovery . it sure is easy to get attached to these dogs . I'd be lost without Sally . when Sally needs out , through the night , she touches her cold nose on me . that gets me up . if she can't touch her nose on me ...

    Rangefinder with Ballistic application

    I have the Sig Kilo 2400 ABS . I'm sure it would be discontinued by now . it's a nice small , shirt pocket size , rangefinder . I "THINK" it allows 5 gun profiles to be loaded . it's an all in one , which makes it nice to carry , and I also think it would be quicker to get the corrections...

    140gr Hornady Monoflex

    you might have already said this , but I'll ask again . was this new , unfired brass ? usually new unfired brass , has a slower velocity , compared to fired brass that has been properly resized . I doubt you get 150FPS difference , but there will be a difference . I use Norma...

    Chamber grooves caused by .277 Fury

    I have to wonder about making the barrel harder too . at what point does a hardened barrel split because it can't expand . 80KPSI will bring out the weak links , in this chain .
