Brian Litz , from Berger bullets , did testing on the ABLR's BC's . this bullet does like a faster twist BBL , to get the advertised BC . makes me wonder if too slow of twist is the accuracy problem guys have with this bullet . no accuracy problems on these targets . congrats to the...

my 7mm Rem Mag , I use two loads in it . one being the Hornady 154 gr SP FB bullet , the other being the 160 Accubond . I have cheat sheets in each ammo box , saying how to set the scope for this bullet . I have a note I closed in the Magazine floor plate saying what bullet the scope is...

we had 5 or 6 rifles that were 338 Lapua , all 30" BBL's . I took my labradar up a few times and we would all shoot over it , very close to the same velocity in these rifles . we were all shooting the same bullet ,at that time , 300 gr Bergers .most of the guys switched to the Hornady...

I was just meaning you found the tip right under the hide , had me wondering if you had some brittle tips .

I think a faster twist , causes more aerodynamic jump as the spinning bullet climbs a cross wind . the cross wind being from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock , on right hand twist BBL's . just what I've observed . really nothing to be concerned with at normal hunting distances . just putting it...

I got this in an email from the NRA . maybe something here will help you . hopefully you will be able to open it . https://www.americanhunter.org/content/turkey-tactics-scout-now-for-spring-gobblers/?utm_source=newsletter

try slightly pushing the plastic tip to the side on some of these bullets . years back I had accubonds in 7mm , that the plastic tips were breaking off . maybe bad plastic tips , or something that wasn't compatible , maybe in the wash , was affecting some of them . some of these tips were...

I went looking to see if I could find who made the sight with both colors . there's a bunch of them now . sorry guys , I need to keep up .

at longer distance shooting , a faster twist rate will cause more spin drift . it's just something that you have to figure out .

up until now , it was a $10 application fee to get in each one of the elk draws . so if you applied in all three it cost $30 . I'm not sure if this has passed , what they are talking about now is , the applicant has to purchase a hunting license BEFORE being able to apply . I think this...

I've only used three presses , with one being a Hornady LNL , progressive . my starter kit came with the Lyman turret top press . I've seen it called a " spartan " . like this one ...

early on , before I started applying , I heard a game warden accompanied the hunter , and pointed out the one to shoot , about like a cull hunt . I'm not sure if that's true , just what I've heard . the only thing I know of now , is you have to hunt in the area the tag is for . if you use a...

I did this at a state bullseye match . it's easy to load a squib . I use a progressive for pistol ammo . I was double checking the powder weight . I'd dump powder in a case then take that case out of the press and weigh it on my scale . I "THINK" I put the case back in the press ...

I remember years ago , someone made one that was both . maybe Bushnell ?

I'm not sure if any of you guys apply for the PA Elk hunting license draw . the draw system for the PA elk tags has been getting scrutinized . I've felt a few times it's not 100% legitimate , but then again , how would I know . I'd have to look , but I think I have 23 preference points...
