    Vihtavouri powders

    I try to work in the 100% - 105% case fill range . I try not to work with a case fill much below 95% , or with a case fill much over 105% . from that list , I'd be choosing a powder with the case fill of 99% to 106% . I also chase velocity so my first choice would be N570 . I would...

    Reloading Logs

    I've thought about making a book on each of my rifles . the book would include rifle specs , along with reloading data . I work on them here and there . there has been so much time in between working on them I started the second book on the one rifle . I guess I know it's a great idea , but...

    Retiring the 7mm Magnum

    Mark , I've kicked these two scopes around a little before, trying to decide between them . the difference in magnification is negligible . the Nightforce has 100 MOA elevation , the vortex has 120 MOA . I've read the vortex turrets are not as crisp ( clicky ) as would be preferred ...

    Retiring the 7mm Magnum

    Mark , I see what you mean . there are big gaps in the hold over reticle . it would work ok for hunting big game , but it's lacking for precision target use .

    2024 Hunting Season

    sounds like iguanas are a substitute for prairie dogs . looks like a lot of fun , and a bunch of trigger time .

    Retiring the 7mm Magnum

    read up on the vortex scope before you purchase . a guy in the lease with me bought a vortex last fall . I'm not sure what model he bought , but he was very disgusted with something on the zero stop . I'm not sure if it was how it worked , or how to set it . I'm pretty sure he took it back...

    Mil vs moa

    XPhunter beat me to it . learn to read your turrets . good tall turrets are numbered , and can easily be set to zero . I can't agree with XP any more on this either , DO NOT count clicks , it's a bad habit and you will screw up , it also takes forever . if I could make another...

    Mil vs moa

    I agree with XPhunter . the bunch of guys I shoot with all use MOA . it definitely makes it easier when the spotter is calling corrections for all to be using the same unit of measure . not long ago I found this article , it explains things pretty well . they have simplified MOA...

    .22 Long rifle picks

    all this talk got me itchy . it's a decent day , but it is windy . I didn't bring all my stuff to the range . bagging up the gun left a little to be desired . I sure can tell the difference between these two ammos , at just 50 yards . when I was shooting the CCI , I kept thinking man I...

    .22 Long rifle picks

    @remingtonman_25_06 , thank you . this is very helpful . found my drop chart I've been using . I'm out of elevation at 300 yards . your drops just about match up perfectly from 50 - 300 . so I shouldn't get any big surprises needing more elevation than your chart , shooting out to 450...

    .22 Long rifle picks

    @remingtonman_25_06 , how much elevation do you dial to reach 450 yards , and 500 yards ? I'm out of elevation at either 300 or 350 , and need to buy a scope with enough elevation to reach our long target . thanks
