You got it. I don’t have a bolt .22. We have a couple of break open single shots and semi autos. He just hasn’t used a bolt much. You’re right, more practice.

He like the AR we have. It’s more of an M4 pattern I guess. In 5.56 which is adequate for our deer here. My concern is that he will do what I did. I had a BAR when I was a kid and just threw lead at everything. Took awhile to figure out area suppression fire was not a good strategy for...

So my 14 year old son is having difficulty with his bolt action. It’s not a mechanical issue, he just doesn’t get it yet. We will continue to practice, however he is rather rigid and prefers the lever. I was thinking about a BLR in 7-08, I see they make a 20” barreled stainless. Expensive...

200gr Partition using Nosler’s data. Hard to go wrong at normal hunting range.

The x64 is not difficult to supply right now. There is all kinds of Russian ammo less than $1 apiece. Good brass is available too but more expensive. Mine is chambered in a Ruger 77 mk2. I think it’s an old Lothar Walther barrel, old friend of mine built it 30 years ago.

X62 is a fine cartridge. Do you have any data across a chronograph or are you using Quickload and the Hornady manual exclusively? I think you’ll find the gap will widen significantly with larger (heavier) bullets. It’s a matter of case capacity. That being said, the X62 is a very efficient...

Seat them deeper. Your throat will grow with more rounds down the barrel. If it shoots well don’t mess with lengthening the throat.

I have a 300 H&H that does this with Hornady brass. The initial “stretch” is .025-.030 on new brass. Too much. They are good for 3 firings. Norma, Nosler (which is Norma), RP, and WW are sized within .010 new and are good for many, many firings…no big initial stretch. The rifle headspace is...

Sometimes a load that is below optimal pressure for your chamber does that.

Keep an eye on Powder Valley. Updates are random in terms of when, but they have a good site. I checked frequently throughout a couple of days and picked up #6 of powder that I needed. It goes fast but they give you :20 in your cart to check out. Shipped the following day. I don’t track...

I’m not sure I’ve ever loaded a small pistol primer in anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m certainly not an expert marksman with a pistol. I have never been able to tell the difference. I would not hesitate to use them. Back off a tenth if it worries you.

I don’t aim at people. This is for bear defense for my wife. She can’t handle a .44 mag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One test was 30” of gel and 5 jugs[emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

6gr HS-6 powder. Supposedly penetrate 30” plus. Not sure, right now they are fairly inexpensive at Midway. Plus they look good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a really good video about disassembly/reassembly of the model 92. There are some differences with the 94 for sure. Point being that if you find a good tutorial it really isn’t a big deal. I found the most important part was having good screw drivers that really fit well. So many...

I think that 94 is an angle eject. Probably good value there. Have to pull that scope off though, that’s sacrilege even though it looks like an AE. Haha.

I ream a stub gage for every barrel I chamber. Makes it super easy. Good list there for folks.

I have a part time gig with an Alaska telecom company. It brings in some mad money but I certainly can’t live on it. I was informed today that I need to produce my vaccine card or fill out religious exemption form. We contract to the government. If I send my vax card I get a $500 bonus...

Those are great tools. Wilson also makes a case gage. Lots of backordered models for popular cartridges, I needed one for .348 Win and lucked out that they had one in stock. https://lewilson.com/gages
