look at the pressure generated, should be close to the same PSI . some powders make the same PSI at lowers charges . this is why you can not ever use charge weights listed for powder X when you are using powder Y .

my next door neighbors son had a fairly new chevy 1500 with the small 3.0 diesel . he really liked it . said it got about 30mpg empty . he pulled a large camper and said about how much power it has , and how well it handled the trailer . the original tires were wearing out , and he replaced...

if you have a window supply store near by I'd take the window out and take it to them . they would probably know how it comes out of the wood frame . they can measure it and get a new one ordered . years ago my neighbors lawn mower threw a rock through one of my windows . I took the whole...

if I had to pick one bullet to use for all hunting , it would be the partition . I've never felt lacking when I use them .

my question would be , why ? why would you want a bonded partition ? there is such a thing as too much bullet integrity . this is why we don't hunt with FMJ bullets . the bullet has to expand , or break in pieces , whatever it's designed to do . I don't worry about a lot of things guys...

ticks are bad news, no doubt about that . over the years , I bought a few different tools to remove an embedded tick . sometimes they worked and other times they didn't . it depended on the size of the tick . the best way to remove one , that I've found so far , is use liquid soap . put a...

I usually comb Sally when we get home . this usually shows up any ticks I missed before getting in the truck to come home from our walk . after I comb Sally I go on my rear deck , and take off my outer clothes and let them hang on outdoor chairs for the rest of the day . end of the day I...

I live about right in the center of PA . we were very dry this past summer . I don't think Sally my dog , or I, had one tick all summer . from like beginning of May to end of September nothing . we are spending a lot more time in the woods now though . the end of September we got a...

I'm not sure if they still hunt whitetail deer with dogs , or not . North Carolina did allow this .

my first thought is , do you need the bolt release ? most factory 700's need the bolt release .

if the fired brass case is not extracting after being fired , your powder charge sounds to be too high . this can be caused by numerous things , but most likely too much powder . if the primer is falling out of a fired brass case , the powder charge is too high for sure . with you having both...

very nice Dan . I have a 4 x 8 utility trailer , I was going to do something similar , but not near this big . I was going to build my blind so I could lift it off the trailer during the summer months , and use the trailer . I thought it would be nice to have a portable blind , and able to...

years ago , I used to clean my bolt / firing pin assembly , and put it together completely dry . I often thought about rust forming . now I finishing cleaning by rinsing with cigarette lighter fluid . according to jewell trigger , lighter fluid has a slight lubricant to it , and doesn't hold...

not always . in my 1911 , 45 acp I pushed a 185gr LSWC over halfway through the bbl with a win LP , non mag primer . this bullet was crimped too . in my 338 lapua , a 215M primer did not move the bullet . this bullet was graphite lubed before seating . the brass had .002 neck tension ...

my grandson shoots very well from a deathgrip tripod . he does good to 200 yards standing and 300 yards sitting , no other support under an elbow or anything . I'll take it with me , if I go back to Kansas hunting .
