I'm probably one of the few that does not have much luck with any of the CCI line. Federal are my second most used primer.

I love them, great powder burn and consistent for me!

I play with primers last in load development. I have seen tighter or wider groups by switching it up. My two favorites are Fed 210GM and Winchester Large Rifle Magnum. Most of my loads got tighter groups when going from 210GM to WLRM. Build some loads in different primers and see what your...

I don't miss chiggers one bit. Growing up in the south, they were life haha.

I've heard about this high shoulder shot. What zone exactly are you aiming at? I've looked at some videos online but nothing specifically outlines where you should aim. I understand if you are too high it's non lethal and there is a zone between typical vital shot and the high shoulder zone...

I love the rifle though! I would be very happy with an outcome like yours and a shooter like that.

That looks like a great buck to me, how heavy was he?!?! Nice job on the reload and the harvest.

Great story, and congrats on hanging a tag. The ol bruiser has been running your woods for some time! I've never seen a squirrel with colors like you posted. In central PA I see them either solid gray or red with some gray (true fox colors) and rarely I see solid black. Down in TX they are...

I have those same tendencies haha

I've heard the model 307's are top notch. I haven't asked or spoken about any of the others. The new factory is supposedly producing very nice rifles.

I think he was referencing the last sentence where Alaska typed out 308 win mag. My guess is typo and he meant 300 win mag

I have thought heavily on this. My kids can get some scope and trigger time this way and I have everything to reload .223 already. Biggest reason I haven't dead set on this is I don't have much use for it. I have a couple coyote rigs already and the guys I want to shoot with for distance are...

I like the regular Fusion's and they use to by my go to for breaking in a barrel or getting a scope close before dialing in on my preferred load. The cost of Fusion's went up and I stopped using them. My intent and desire for the Fusion tipped is just in that round itself though.

Nice Muley, that 270 did work, great to see!

Not sure where you are, but here in Central PA a bear is always after a freshly hung cam. A few years back I had a theory it had to do with smells from our hands and out house. I now set my cams up then put them outside for a couple days with a pair of gloves. I wear the gloves, put my cam in...
