My first foray into loading was with a Mec in 12 gauge. My start in rifle and pistol was with a Lee Loader in 7X57, they might be slow but they get the job done.

I too mostly hunt the deep woods and in some of the overgrown timber cuts we can't see a deer at 75 yards. When hunting at home I load the 154 grain Hornady spire point in my 7mm Rem.magnum, the 165 grain Spire point in my 300 Win. Mag and lately the 150 SST in my .308. The only one of these I...

I had a 1903a3 thirty or so years back but it was in military form, it wasn't nearly as sharp as yours. I shot many rounds downrange with it until somebody who wanted it more than me bought it.

Very nice group. Your rifle is a shooter for sure.

This rifle is already promised to my stepson when I go under. I doubt he ever shoots it though.:( 40 years old with several thousand rounds shot through it.

Since we are on the subject this is my best group with my 7mm Rem. Magnum. I bought the rifle in 1981 or 82. It still has the original barrel though I have done a little work to improbe accuracy. These were rounds 26, 27 and 28 that day with no cleaning. I guess I just got lucky when I bought it.

7mm Remington magnum. 300 Winchester magnum. I like magnums. But mostly if I can use one for a large animal like an elk. I just think that makes one a more complete rifleman and hunter.

The 7RM is my favorite cartridge without a doubt. I bought my first LH bolt gun back in 1980 to use in a elk hunt. My favorite WT deer bullet is the 154 Hornady spire point with the 150 Nosler BT a close second. I have tried many of the powders out there but hands down the most accurate is...

Here in Georgia a muzzleloading rifle is a legal turkey weapon. I don't/won't shoot at a gobbler a hundred yards away. Over 20 years ago I built a .40 caliber flintlock to be my dedicated turkey rifle and with it I've taken over twice as many gobblers as I did previously with shotguns. I have...

I have used various crossed sticks and single trigger sticks for decades, but IMHO nothing that's field expedient works as well as a tripod. A few years ago I needed one but hesitated to spend the money. However I did have an older tripod we used for cameras and a spotting scope. It worked very...

Don't wait. It's not worth it. A few years ago I started having problems with my back. With no warning I would just fall, and fall hard. With the fall a sort of paralysis would set into my left leg. I went to a Dr. and he said I had a stenosis in the lower back and it was serious and I shouldn't...

I had a 7X57 in a military mauser many years ago but the gun didn't work out. Later on I bought a Ruger bolt action in 7X57 for my wife to hunt elk with. I never got the stellar results some have mentioned as every time I got much above the minimum suggested load the bottom of the case would...

It doesn't matter how long the jump or how short. As long as the bullet is seated in a node accuracy will be good.

I like your final finish better than mine. Looks like you took some time to think it out. I just blobbed some black paint onto mine.

When I was in the 5th or 6th grade I found a book in the library named "The old man and the boy" and that began a lifelong fascination with all things Robert Ruark and other writers such as Capstick. I haven't had time to watch the movie yet, never dreamed one existed, but I will.

It looks a little different now. I put a newer model redi-fit recoil pad from Limbsaver on it. I lost my clip so I bought an extended 5 round clip from Baretta. Found the old clip later though.

I carry a .40 S&W compact. My SD rounds are factory of some sort. Right now some Bonded remington rounds gets the nod. But I practice with Rainier 180 grain HP's loaded with just enough Unique. No doubt the factory rounds shoot hard. I have a set of Ameriglo nite sights on my pistol and the...

In my younger years I went through a lot of powder and bullets. I was feeding the 7mm Mag. and 3 Ruger .44 carbines plus my Superblackhawk, and a assortment of smaller calibers the wife and kids used. But things change, the wife and kids basically quit shooting as they grew older and got into...

Down here in the south east dove shoots are a big thing. When they get to darting all around at speed ejectors really come into thier own. Sometimes even then you can't load fast enough. I will never buy another SXS or OU without ejectors. I've also found them handy when shooting ducks.

These are the methods I used to get the paint to stick to that slick plastic stock. "I've had this rifle for a long time now, I can't find the bill of sale but I think I bought it around the second year they began importing them. I like it pretty well but there are a few things I don't care...
