this is a brand , I never think of . they have a stellar reputation too .

man ya gotta love that , right out of the gate .

that's the first I have seen this . as the others have said , it would be ok for bulk ammo to go play with , but I don't think I'd be using them for anything serious . "IF" it were only cosmetic blems , I wouldn't worry about them too much . "IF" it's varying Priming compound amounts , it...

not even a Keebler cookie laying around . pretty neat pic , thanks for sharing .

it only takes a minute to I run new brass through my a full length die . you never know if one could be out of spec a little .

I keep thinking on the list I mentioned earlier . I "THINK" it was on "Brownells " , I think they had a list of gunsmiths by state . I posted the previous post thinking the original poster might see a smiths name , and think heck I forgot about him , and he's just up the road .

I now have an "SKB" rifle case . the case seems to be durable . it's got a few nicks , and gouges , but the rifles have always been fine . for my ammo , I just used my plastic "MTM" ammo box . it needs to be packed separately from the rifle . I put the ammo in another locked checked bag...

there are a lot of gun smiths in Pennsylvania . Joel Russo , was a stock maker , He now has Terminus rifle actions . I'm not sure if Joel still does stock work , since he started building actions . he is in the Harrisburg Pa area . I've never used Joel , but I've seen some of his...

I keep a few old socks to lay on top of the ammo . one sock and close the lid , corrects the too tall issue . clean socks , of course . :D

can a guy over pressure the flower bed ? if so , what signs do you look for ? would a longer flower bed green up quicker ? more velocity ? :rolleyes:

new brass does grow . most times it takes a few cycles to get it fully expanded . new brass also has a slower velocity . I think this is due to the expansion of the case absorbing some of the energy . with the action getting tight , do not add more powder at this time . you can try the...

Friday I was in the red zone for air quality . Saturday was supposed to be worse , the purple zone air quality is where I was on the maps . the wind must have changed , or the rain helped out a lot , Saturday wasn't a bad day , when I was out between rains . this morning is cool , and clear...

I think you'll be fine . I've taken elk , and moose , with my 7mm REM MAG close , and far , without problems . I used the 160 grain accubond bullet . the partition is a great choice . just put the bullet in the vitals , and it'll work out great for you .

I'm in the very unhealthy air warning too . . I worked in it all day yesterday . the smoke kind of overcast the sun . my throat feels and tastes , like I smoked a bunch of cigarettes . it was a lot smokier than the pic shows . towards evening the slight breeze calmed down , the smoke...

I bought my Grandson a REM 700 chambered in 260 , it has a Shilen " air gauged " barrel on it .I'll say this is the "most consistent " rifle I've ever played with . it shoots everything I've tried . I doubt it has shot anything bigger than 1 1/2 " at 100 yards , right out of the gate ...
