yes , getting glass outside is the key in seeing what you like better . when I bought my spotting scope from Eurooptics , they were in a small , back alley, building in the middle of town . I took a couple spotters out in the alley to compare . the only thing I could find to look at was a...

there are a few Alliant powders that are like , powdered horsepower . RL26 is one of them . it sweeps all the velocity out of the corners , and puts it to use .

the whitetails I've brought home , from different states , seemed to have pretty much tasted the same too , except for the ones from Kansas . we had a lease in Kansas that was huge . it was a cattle ranch that we hunted on . we often seen deer feeding out of the cattle troughs . these...

ABSOLUTELY ! please post up pics when you return .

The draws should be over by now . where are you guys going , and what are you hunting this season ? I always enjoy reading about other guys plans . Good luck and safe travels

just a guess , the clean bore needed fouled . when working with Barnes bullets and Grand powder , foul with Barnes bullets and grand powder . I was told by a Bench Rest shooter that I should clean and foul between switching powders . the first powder residue can skew the results of the...

I agree with the twist rate maybe being a problem , these are long bullets .

if you lightly push on the other bullet tips , the faulty ones will break off fairly easy . I'd keep them for getting a scope on paper , fouling the BBL , fire forming brass , ETC . . I don't throw anything away , there is always a use for these inferior components . the good ones ...

I shot a Kansas buck at about 30 - 40 yards with a 175 gr , 7mm , ABLR . it passed through blowing junk out on the ground . the Deer crumbled . it didn't seem to do excessive meat damage . I did not recover the bullet . impact velocity about 3100 FPS . I would not worry about using the ABLR...

I have my powder stored in cabinets , under the reloading bench , off the bench top . I try to only have my desired powder , and primer , on the bench while loading . as I said before , it's gotta be foolproof , or I'll screw it up .

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 .
