I was able to snag one of the original Kano Kroil from Wal Mart online.

I use Kano Kroil to clean my brass after every anneal before sizing, I slightly wet a small rag with Kano Kroil, chuck the brass in a drill and spin clean it instead of tumbling brass. I ran out of Kano Kroil, so I ordered a new can and its not the same Kroil. The smell and feel is completely...

Congratulations. It's a good feeling to get something back that you enjoyed. Nice rifle.

On my last bull nilgai hunt in January 2025, we have seen two albino nilgai. I was not interested in harvesting them, they were a pretty sight to see. One of the bulls had all 4 legs covered in white hair up to the shoulders and thighs, while the rest of the body was black haired. The older...

A Partition will do the job for sure. I dropped my first bull nilgai with a 140 Partition out of a 7 Mag at 200 yards head on. The Partition hit square in the chest just below the beard, it kept trucking along lengthwise of that tough critter. It dropped so fast and I'll never forget it because...

I have never used Bergers for hunting game and I'm reluctant to use it except for paper shooting. I stick with what worked for me in the past which are the Nosler Ballistic Tips, Accubonds, Sierra Gamekings, Swift Scirocco and ELD-X and M. Barnes TTSX 180 is my next bullet to try on nilgai soon.

Just landed 1000 bullets of 6mm 103 Daggers from Bart's to try in the 6 BR and the new 6 BRA when it comes in. Just for 600 yard F Class. Had a few emails between myself and Bart, concerning freebores and types of bullets he makes, his recommendation is to try the Daggers. I currently use the...

On my GA Precision 6.5 X 284, I specified with GA that I wanted it in a Defiance long action, in case in the future I may want a straight 284. On the 6.5 x 284, I load my ELD-X 143 at 3.123" OAL . The 284 is a great caliber and there are great brass available like Lapua which I use. My magazine...

I'm using Nosler brass for the 6.5 Creed. I am a Lapua brass fan, all my other rifles uses Lapua. If it works with Nosler brass, then I won't change it.

I liked the Ballistic Tips as long as i stay off the shoulders for deer when I used the big 7's, I liked the BT for the 7STW at distance. AB is a great bullet for the STW, I used that and the 150 Swift Scirocco as well especially for nilgai. After 3 barrels, I converted that rifle into the...

140 and 150 BT rocks too!!! I used them for my 7mm Mag and 7 STW.

Thanks guys, its just been so long since I used them. (y)

It's been so many years since I last used Federal Gold Medal Match primers, I could remember seeing purple dye on the anvil on those primers. I have always used that brand until they were hard to obtain years ago. I just started using the new Federal GM primers again, the boxes are different...

Not much expansion by the looks of it, perhaps it needed more velocity to fully open. I dug in my old bullet collections, found three .41 Magnum bullets. Fired from a 6 inch barrel, into water jugs, left is a full metal jacket, possibly the older Hornady XTP FMJ, can't remember, 2nd bullet is...

Thanks, it's a GA Precision custom built rifle, Defiance action, 26 inch Bartlein 8 twist, Jewell trigger, A5 McMillian stock and ATACR 5-25
