    My hunting video

    Great to relive your hunting experience in this beautiful and well done video John. I read your posts and few weeks ago, which were pretty well written and informative in every aspect. That said there’s nothing quite like seeing how your story unfolded and watch what took place. The story...

    Black Friday sale at MidSouth

    That’s a screaming deal! I shelled out twice that much just a few years ago on a Cyber Monday Sale on a brick of FGMM SRP’s.

    ATTN: Nosler

    Well for whatever it’s worth I guess I’m not the only one that couldn’t get them to shoot, I just went back to Ballistic Tips, and Partitions. But I have had better results with the standard Accubond vs the LRAB’s.

    30/8mm rem mag imp with 35 deg shoulder load data

    It’s basically a 300 Jarrett. H4831, VV N165, RL22, and 25, anything slow burning. My old load was 84.0 H4831sc/F215M/ in 300 Jarrett brass @ 3.6450” coal using the old 165 MRX Bullet, discontinued long ago for being armor piercing as well as penetrate the full length of an elk. It was going...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    IDK, I think @shortstuf92 is spot on! I don’t even own a 338 of any kind anymore, but that one was probably my favorite of them all.

    The smoke pole spoke today; Schwarber is no longer a free agent...

    Wow, what a stud of a deer! Damn that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that you pulled off extremely well! In Idaho we have only been able to use round ball, or conical bullets until just this year. What was allowed had to be within .010” of the bore diameter, and could be tipped. But I...

    Success - Ready to set ladder stand on new property

    That’s fantastic news for your opening day hunt! Glad to hear that you succeeded in harvesting a really nice Whitetail so quickly. It’s great when everything goes well and smoothly for what sounds like you’re getting up there in age? I’ve been telling myself that I need to take the Elk where...

    Old Stock gun powder vs New Old Stock.

    I’ve never been one to toss out old powder, and tend to save it for breaking in a new barrel. Last week was IMR 4350 from 2006 that was previously used for a 8mm Remington Magnum. I tested it against a newer bottle produced in late September 2001 in my 30/06 after 20 rounds with the stuff...

    Browning BAR 25-06

    I’m of the opinion that was typical for a Browning BAR, maybe a little better? I’ve never seen one shoot much less than an inch. That said, I also haven’t seen one in over 25 + years either.

    August 17, 2017…. I’d think so, but maybe he never went through with the build?

    Load Development Methodology - .257 WSM

    That’s what I tried in my 6.5/300 WSM Kimber Montana but with 140 grain pills, but I ended up using Retumbo instead. @JMRhino You should be able to make use of the same powders used in the 6.5/300 WSM uses mainly because they are very close in bore diameter and case capacity. I forget what...

    How accurate can a RCBS 10-10 scale be?

    That’s a long time! I ditched it twenty five years ago for a Pact Digital scale and dispenser. Then I upgraded to the V4 AutoTrickler for the A&D FX120i which sped up the process for volume reloading.
