mag primer / standard primer . too much , or not enough .

I have a small piece of the roast yet . I'll have that at lunch today , in a sandwich . I like potatoes and carrots cooked this way . I put them around any roast , and meatloaf too , but cook meatloaf in the oven . the house smells great regardless of the type of meat . ;)

I knew a guy that shot local rifle matches . he shot a few different classes , with one being an entry level class . I think the only rifle mod allowed was bedding . there was a limit on the scope power , and only factory ammo . he shot a 7mm-08 and used the fusion ammo . he did pretty...

the 243 likes slow powder . I used IMR7828 with 100 gr partitions

very cool , if this stuff could talk . as a kid , my GrandPap and Dad had ammo in a similar box , but I don't think the boxes had yellow on them . I'm not sure if I have that ammo , I'll have to check on it .

ballistic tips are another bullet that's easy for me to find accuracy .

I've never had to fight with them .for me , they seem to shoot best close to the lands , .010 - .020 jump . most everything I load for is at , or near, max powder charges .

I've never used any of the powder dispensing set ups on the FX120i scale . I'm going to say the powder dispensed will be as close as possible to what it's set for . the + or - will be in the scale itself , rounding off to the nearest .02 . keep in mind you really can't weigh...

ok , I kind of remember prices like that . kind of makes a working class guy swallow hard .

Scotty , that's a fast charge . I bought the scale before the powder handling attachments were available . at the time , I thought I was nuts for spending that much on a scale , but I've never been sorry for buying it . I really like the scale , if it quit today , I'd be ordering...

this sure makes the house smell good

coated in bread , or cracker crumbs , and fried in bacon grease . EDIT TO ADD ; sliced about 1/4" thick

what I usually see for cancelled hunts are last minute . you'd need to have your bags packed and ready to go . kind of hard for guys that have a job . it would still be worth watching though , maybe you could make it work in your schedule . I've been thinking on these Yukon hunts since...

in the thread asking what's your favorite wild game , a lot of guys said moose . I've been eating moose all week , and finally thought to take a pic . it's a moose roast with potatoes , carrots , and onion . I put a packet of onion soup mix in and fill it with water . I slow cook it in a...

I took a quick look for the one that uses a powder throw , or powder dump , and then trickles up to spec , but I didn't see them . I'm not sure if each new model supersedes the older models maybe . if you have never used a magnetic force scale , you don't know what you're missing , compared...
