    Velocity and accuracy

    I’m in the accuracy first camp. However I’ve begun to use monolithic bullets, and muzzle velocity is more important now as it was with lead bullets. I’ve found personally, that my most accurate loads are also at the higher end of the load range. I shoot mostly my 308, with a 20” barrel, and I’m...

    What would you do?

    I did that to a tray of thirty rounds in .3 grain increments for load testing….🤬

    Chronograph

    Wow! I stand corrected! I would have never thought that, that is a lot more. I certainly understand your frustration now.

    What's your side hustle?

    I sharpen knives on occasion, but I got into that from making them. I mostly make small drop point hunting knives, but have made some kitchen knives too. Knife making also brought me into leather working, and I’ve done a few pieces that have travelled across the country. When I first retired I...

    What gun should be the Idaho State gun?

    I’m partial to the model 94, but I’d have to go with the 1873.

    Another question for all us hunters: Favourite method?

    Home is CNY. We live near the south shore of Oneida lake. Here in NY we are separated into the Northern tier and the Southern tier. I live in the Southern tier, and hunt near my Father Inlaw’s on AG fields. I also hunt in the Northern tier, where I grew up, and the “big woods” are. This is where...

    Another question for all us hunters: Favourite method?

    That country is absolutely beautiful! Here in the northeast, I’m in the “FLAT” lands and lucky to see 75 yards, so still hunting or sitting in ambush is the way. If you’ve spotted them here, you’ve done the stalk already!😂 The beauty of North America is just breathtaking from east to west!

    Another question for all us hunters: Favourite method?

    I hunt Whitetails, and I love to still hunt in the thick, close, woods here in the northeast. Love finding the main trails, and going very slow along them looking for the slight trails that Bucks use. We also have a few ag fields that we are able to hunt and I love that too, but I’m not really...

    To anneal or not?

    This is where it gets confusing for me. I’m all about simple, and easy, so now is five Mississippi enough to get that dull red glow, or don’t I really need the dull red glow, or do I need the dull red glow, and five Mississippi not long enough……?😜

    250th Anniversary and a Rifle

    It is a beautiful looking firearm, but at $6500.00 I’m gonna have to pass.

    To anneal or not?

    So basically you’re putting the brass in the socket, and spinning it, while heating it with a torch, and counting to five Mississippi? That simple?

    Ticks

    I’m going to say that if the scent is not natural to the area then the game will most likely not tolerate it, plant or man made. I would love something natural to use but after getting bit last fall I’m on the picaridin, and permethrin band wagon. I was out scouting about a week ago and nothing...

    To anneal or not?

    Technically I haven’t really been reloading all that long, thirteen years? I’ve never annealed any brass. To be honest everything I’ve seen has kinda confused me as to how, how long, when, etc…. Like most things in this regard there are so many ways to do it, and so many arguments about it also...
