    What app are you using for target analysis? It seems to pick up those nice, big holes well!

    45-70 Shooting Lights Out With Hard Casts

    That thing is beautiful. Very nice.

    Contender shooters?

    I have one in 35 Remington, with barrels in 22 Jet, 22 Hornet, 30-30 and something else I forget. I also picked up an Encore in 6.5x55 with a 15" barrel, well, just because.

    "Front Shoulder" and other terms...

    I'm so glad none of the animals I've shot have ever taken a "dirt nap". Also, I don't consider my hunts an attempt to "get it done". (Phrases from TV shows that annoy me.)

    Neck Tension

    I wasn't aware 20th century was making them that way. I'll have to decide if that's cheaper/better than getting a bushing die? Unfortunately, for a 6.5-300 Weatherby a FL Type S is a custom order. Without turning the necks, I guess it is a case of whether I want my imperfections on the outside...

    "Front Shoulder" and other terms...

    I heard a new one at the range yesterday: recticle. I laughed out loud and had to back away from my shot!

    "Front Shoulder" and other terms...

    I hope hunters this fall do not break their muzzle. And it is a barrel, not a pipe.

    Neck Tension

    I shot some more groups with the "new" neck tension. Things are looking up. Here's a 4 shot group with the 130 TSX.

    Neck Tension

    I've been having inconsistent results developing another load for my 6.5-300. It's been driving me little crazy. My process is to size the case without an expander ball, and then expand the neck with the Sinclair expander die using the "E" (Expander) series. After bullet seating I do NOT...

    147 ELD-M ladder test / 6.5 Creedmoor

    It's a good place to start. When I start shooting more than one shot at each charge in the ladder I sometimes get slightly different data. It's one of the limitations of the ladder method - it doesn't take into account Es at each charge.

    6.5 at very long range

    People shoot a mile out at Forsyth with 45-110's. It can certainly be done with 6.5's and reasonable pressures. I wish I lived further from my targets!

    375 Cheytac

    I watched an episode on TV where they were shooting a .375 Cheytac from Snowy Mountain Rifles for Elk. Impressive. I've always wanted one since, but, don't live far enough away from anything.

    Chronograph

    Love my LabRadar. I'm never planning to change unless they make it smaller!

    it's that time of year again

    Just MT Elk and deer for me this year ... going to be a lean year.

    expanding button or mandrel

    I have switched to expanding with a mandrel, whether using a bushing die or not. My chronograph told the story with significantly better Es with this method. I had similar runout values to the OP. I use the sinclair expanding mandrel, -.002". I bit the bullet and bought all the mandrels I'll...

    Anyone shooting the Nosler handgun?

    A friend of mine ordered one in 7mm-08 and should take delivery soon. He's planning on using is on a Leopard hunt in Zambia later this year. I'm thinking one in 22 Nosler would be outstanding for a prairie dog outing, too. Any experiences?

    How hunting has changed.

    I get up in the East, where you could stay on stand all day if need be. Now, both there and here in the West, people are back in their trucks by 9:00 AM and expecting deer to walk by. There are a lot of places where there are no hunters and the deer stay right where they are, too. Patience used...

    350 Legend

    It's been my experience that some people DO need 10 rounds to kill a deer! (To paraphrase some of the left-wing whackos). Anything that brings interest and people to the sport and our rights is a good thing.
