I buy mine from Eurooptics or Midway.. at times precision reloading will have deals and I'll buy from them too. What I like best about it, is how consist it has been after a number of reloads. I have a lot for the 7mm-08 that has been reloaded 13 times and hasn't needed annealed. Neck...

My wife uses a Milwaukee vest. I personally have never used any of them but she gets cold easy. She loves that thing. We bough an extra battery pack, when we do an all day sit, somewhere around early afternoon (2-3) she swaps the battery out to get the last few hours in. It goes 3 different...

Fantastic buck! You guys are in a good area. We switched over from Raven to Ten Point for my wife a couple years back. Hard to say one over the other. It’s crazy what those crossbows can do compared to my regular ol bow haha 😆

That’s a great buck, congratulations to her!!

It may be worth your time trying Peterson out. Comes annealed and has been great for me. It’s my go to brass now.

I really like Peterson, Lapua is what I used for years. I have some guns with nosler or adg too. If those aren't available I have bought Starline but didn't keep it (gave it to my cousin). I seen noticeable differences in my speed and POI when using my load developed with ADG at the time...

I have been on the hunt for these bullets in 155g... super hard to find all the sudden. Do you guys maybe know a source?

I am not a fan of this chrono and it could be part of your issue. Any large metal pieces around when you were shooting? How long has it been since you updated the firmware on it? I know people have success and know the nuances of setting it up, but I got to a point I didn't trust mine anymore...

Brass absolutely is a factor in your FPS and pressure. So many factors go into velocities. Most people I see chasing velocity in load development have lost site of the loads purpose and the most important factor, POI. If you aren't seeing pressure signs, it's grouping like it should, and...

I love the .284 calibers and my 7mag is one of my favorites! My go to is a a Tikka 7mm and it hands down likes N160 or N165 the best. Most of my groups have bullets touching. I have 175g ABLR using H1000 or H4350 150g AB's using N165 150g Silvertip Ballistic and 150g Nosler Hunting...

I’m after some 300 win mag brass. I really like Peterson, but am good with oil faithful Lapua too. If you have anything specific to 300 in way of dies etc.. I may be interested in that as well.

What scope did you mount and how is it mounted. What tool did you use to torque it all down and any loctite? If you have no break, this is a gun you must make sure everything is properly torqued. While some don’t like mono bullets, typically it’s not a spread like you are describing. It...

We spend quality time together and I soak it up haha. I go to my brother’s house and their kids stay in their bedrooms on game boxes .. they don’t even come down to say hi to us unless they are told to come down and it doesn’t take long.. they are back in their rooms. Kind of wild to me haha

I see you may be close to me.. I happen to have a soft spot for OBS GM’s too..haha. I have been on the hunt for a single cab, long bed, 5 speed 96-98 era for about 3 years now. Initially I had to have the 454, now I’ll take any gasser lol

I very much appreciate all the positive responses. I’m going to show her when she get’s home, she will really enjoy that too!
