    Just playing.

    I didn't know that Sierra, made ammunition. I have never measured runout, and really would have no idea how to do it. My most accurate rifles shoot under 1/2 MOA, and the worst about 1.5". They all seem to be adequate for hunting.

    Which rifles this season?

    Kimber 280 AI, and a post 64 Model 70, 7mm Mashburn as backup, both for elk. The Kimber in fairly new and has yet to fulfill its mission. Both are using 160 Nosler AB's up front.

    Scouting mission

    I spent a couple of fun filled weeks on a wildfire near Pittsburg Landing, a few years ago as well as a couple of other similar events in the Salmon River Canyons. It's never fun, having flown in both fixed wing and rotorcraft, I think the Helicopters are more stable. I love that country and...

    Help need a vintage scope

    Long ago I got rid of all my Weavers as I transitioned to Leupolds. I still have a majority of them but Zeiss is working its way into the herd. While I understand your desire to keep the rifle within the period, if you are going to hunt it at all you will need something newer for optics.

    And... What game have you hunted?

    What is most relevant is that I have not hunted or killed a moose, Wolverine, mountain lion ( passed twice), white tailed deer, Coues deer, grizzly bear, polar bear, muskox, buffalo, nor any African game. Most of the rest listed here have been on my list, including one Wolf.

    Did you ever screw up?

    I have been reloading since the late 60's, none of the events mentioned here surprise me. Lately I have decided that I am going to cut my costs on sizing lubricant. This so far as cost me postage to RCBS twice, three other stuck cases that I was able to remove myself, and last but not least, a...

    Roosevelt Elk

    My first fire job was in Reedsport. My first two Rosevelt elk, spike and 5point, were south of there in the Calapooya tree farm. I would like to hunt them in earnest again, however times have changed and I doubt I could get one out of the woods by myself. My heart has always been in NE...

    45 ACP small primer brass

    Like Guy, I throw them away. I have many 100’s of 45 ammo. I don’t need to mess with two primer sizes. I have shot them and noticed no difference, it would be pretty hard for me to see much of a difference. Sort them and shoot them, nothing wrong with them .

    RL15 for .308 ?

    RL-15 allows my 308 to shoot tiny little groups, in the sub 1/2 size. I love it and use it in my .223

    Removing Redding imperial sizing die wax

    I have been using imperial for decades, and have only cleaned my dies a few times. I have never had an issue that I know of. I do wipe my cases down with a coarse cloth, and am very careful to not overuse the sizing wax. A little goes a long ways.

    Partitions Vs E-Tips ?

    The PARTITION, is never the wrong choice. It's been around for 50+ years and few bullets out there can match its performance.

    Your Favorite Elk rifle?

    My all time favorite is my Winchester Post 64, 300 WM. Bought it and started hunting with it in 1970. It is very accurate and still consistently a 1/2 MOA rifle. I have killed more elk and deer with it, than any other rifle i own. It is also my heaviest rifle so I am trying to move away with...
