    Buying a car

    Well guys the wife and I took it on its first road trip and it did quite well. It was really nice being able to drive from Columbus Oh to the house in Md without stopping for gas and still have gas in the tank. The little turbo charged 4 cylinder handled the Appalachian hills quite well and I...

    Jim I couldn't help myself with my comment since the barn looked so warm and cozy, I thought why leave when you didn't have to.:rolleyes:;)

    Pole Barn Project (Updated with Pictures)

    You're welcome Jim. I was wondering if you have considered a robot to go fetch the deer so you don't have to leave the barn?:ROFLMAO:

    Pole Barn Project (Updated with Pictures)

    Very Nicely Done Jim. I was expecting a barn not a show place with an indoor shooting bench. Do you have a walk in meat locker to hang all the crop damage kill?

    Buying a car

    I don't Envie you any at all. So far the 2023 Equinox has been a total new learning experience. So much has changed on these cars and all the electronics on it will drive a baby boomer nuts. GM got this one set up right and the turbo 4 cylinder will outperform some V8s and it will fit in your...

    Forester Co Ax press

    Wish I had bought one when I was younger but then for what I do the RCBS R2 does a good job for me. One thing is sure is that you will get a proven performer if you decide on buying one.

    Going to run the big 8 again.

    I haven't looked at Hammers and was wondering if they make them in .358" for the Wheelen or 358 Norma?

    150 vs. 165 (edited)

    My Dad used to shoot factory150gr WW Sliver Tips in his pre war M70 30-06 and when hunting heavy thicket areas he would switch up and use Rem 150-180gr core locs. For years I did the same in my 30-06s until I discovered the 165gr Hornaday SP flat base bullet. My 725 Rem had been rebarreled to...

    Titegroup sticking and etching powder measure

    Funny that this is happening to you since I use a lot of Tite group powder for loading 45acp and have never experienced what you're saying. I load on Dillon reloading presses and though I see some static cling every now and then I have never had it melt my powder hopper. Bullseye powder is the...

    35 Whelen or 9.3x62 and why?

    My main reason for having a 35 Whelen Ackley Improved built was to have something different with a little more punch but got a whole lot more of everything.

    .22 ammo..... need a thought or two

    No rifle information I can only give you pistol information. There's a reason that SK Pistol Standard plus, SK Pistol Match Special is always sold out and hard to get, It simply outperforms the more expensive ammo and you can't beat the price compared to Eley 10x and the other higher priced...

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    Thanks for the response Fotis. My targets are at 25 and 50yds, 10- 21yds is cutting it pretty far to get an actual good muzzle velocity, isn't it? I'm just used to setting my Chrony up at 10ft from the muzzle and don't understand how the Garmin can give a reading for velocity at the...

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    If it doesn't read pistol velocities, it's of no use to me. I need muzzle velocities for my .45acp and .38 Super so I can create accurate loads and to keep the velocities low enough, so they don't lead my barrels.

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    Very interesting Fotis, I still have the little Chrony you sold me, and it is outperforming some of my friends more expensive equipment as long as I keep it in the shade during bright full sun days. Thanks for selling it to me, I don't need all the fancy stuff just need to know how fast my ammo...
