    Might there be a single great powder recommendation for both rifle reloading?

    Yep, H4350. I’ve loaded .22-250; 243; 257Roberts; 6.5 Creedmore; 264wm; 270win; 275 Rigby; 7mm REM; 308win; 3006; 300wsm; 300H&H; 300wm; 8mmmag; 338win; 338Jarrett; 375HH; Think thats it. Pretty dog gone versatile powder. Two years ago it was about the only powder that was available. I have...

    Play with Seating Depth or something else

    I’m not familiar with the bullet itself but reading your post again, you’ve a 1/2 moa rifle that doesn’t appear to like the federal bullet. While this is a great time to experiment, lot of time until opening day, I wouldn’t waste Rl 17 on to many more efforts. That stuff is gold. Any way, I too...

    R92 44Mag - Range Report

    I have had issue with some of the ammunition I’ve loaded over the years being too long, hangs up just enough coming from the tube onto the elevator ramp. The only loading gate damage I’ve seen is to my thumb.

    Work Sharp Elite (blade sharpener) flipped my thinking...

    I got one of the hi end belt systems to keep our fillet knives sharp up at the lodge. We would fillet 100 to 120 fish a day. It was better than I could do otherwise and in a hurry. I used the belt drive once on my hunting knives. Wont do that again. I’m not convinced the work sharp stones are...

    Hick's #1 Accurizer

    For bedding I formed soft modeling clay between the springhanger and the barrel. The clay is a pain to clean up but it prevented my permanently attaching the foreend to the rifle. With a #1 that is shooting 1/2 MOA I wouldn’t change anything. If the rifle isn’t showing the tendency to string as...

    Hick's #1 Accurizer

    I’ve done three; all offered improvement in group size. My 257 Roberts really needed it; it would start stringing after the second shot. It will go five rounds now at under an inch. The 7x57 sorta needed it, shot ok but I wasn’t happy. I was trying to turn it into a bench rest rifle. It is now...

    Which one?

    No, I’ve been on the west side of the state helping my sister with the final stages of shipping off the Majors gun collection. You don’t just easily move 120 or so firearms that were a well thought out collection plus a few dogs that will make tomato stakes. Those are gone as of dinner time...

    The view headed for the heap

    I mean really, the view doesn’t even acknowledge they spew crap. At least Fox News admitted in court people should not believe them as they are liars, it was their defense when sued. ABC or was it NBC. Can’t keep track of that zoo either, fell on their sword for calling Trump a rapist, he’s not...

    Best Barrel Protection for Storage

    Probably the worst thing you can do for storage is put a gun in a soft case for storage, seen an awful lot of guns come out of the case rusty.

    Which one?

    Nothing too dramatic, It’s not a Voodoo! I have a couple of vx11 and 3s in the “gun junk drawer” will try one of those. If she shows great potential then there may be an upgrade, but that would eat into my $5/day guns and hunting jar for next year.:)

    Quick Load vs. reality - 30-06/ RL-17/190 Nosler LRAB

    I have found quick load to be pretty accurate in my rifles.

    Which one?

    Local gun shop has a 1/2 dozen Cz Americans due next week. Gave me a good deal so I’ll go with that for the time being.

    Which one?

    Price is a consideration but that Kimber is nice. I would like to get my hands on one of the 52 sporters, look very nice, but a little pricey. Going to town today for an MRI, a follow up to getting tick fever in Africa two years ago, We’ve two small gun shops in town, I’ll see what’s available...

    Browning BLR 308

    One of my great regrets was not buying one years ago. They are a great rifle. Looking forward to your reports.

    Which one?

    Definitely thinking a modern bolt action, looked at the model 52 on gun broker, priced from $900.00 to 9,000.00 WOW! Thought about the Kimber but they are priced a little high I think, at this point any way. Im just starting this project so taking on a big learning curve.

    Which one?

    So about 8 years ago I quit chewing tobacco. My reward was a $5.00 day donation to the hunt/gun jar. I need to spend some money. I have contemplated a 22Lr on a full size rifle platform for something like 50 years, but have never stepped away from Ruger 10/22 or light lever actions. In the $500...
