Interesting what some people consider portable. This is the one I use: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939073/big-game-deluxe-portable-shooting-bench This is a compromise as it is not as stable as a permanent bench, but it certainly is lighter :wink: I use this in the desert at the few...

I agree OU. Regrettably I need 222 Rem MAG brass to turn into AI, not standard 222. Nosler brass is great in that you can load it right out of the box, but given what I am paid it is cheaper for me to just process less expensive brass anyway. For my .280 Rem AI I do use Nosler Brass because...

I was going to post my .5 MOA 200 yard 140gr BT target, but why bother.

Sad, but not a bad way to go. In the woods with your dog sitting under a tree. I am sure it was painful, but hopefully not for long. I hope my last is in the back country and not hooked to tubes in a hospital. My wife is a Hospice Nurse and I hear all sorts of stories I don't want to be in...

Thank you Polaris. I am going to give this a try. It looks like I need to set it back 0.138" and that shouldn't be a big deal. In fact using my RCBS AI dies I might be able to skip the initial fire forming step. I would still like to hear from the Nosler staff moderators what would be...

It is getting really hard to find brass to feed my .222 Rem Mag AI. Midway says Remington is no longer making this brass and a search of the internet has not located anything. Since Nosler makes .222 Rem Mag ammunition how can I go about getting brass from Nosler for this cartridge? Sure I...

Good stuff. We generally go easy with instant oatmeal for breakfast with coffee made in a press to save mess. We try to be up and out before light so making a fire and cooking breakfast is out until the last day when we pack up. We have done pre-made burritos, but decided even that was too...

Leupold no longer shows a VX3 on their website. It appears this has been replaced by the VX3i line. Several of the web shooting stores appear to have bought up the old stock and are offering good deals. Several of my rifles sport VX3's and if I was in the market for another I wouldn't...

Ouch. Keep us posted on how this turns out. Your advice is sound. The one time I got lost in AK I had little with me because I was "so close to the cabin." I had my rifle with me, but no compass or GPS so spent the night out. Found myself the next day. On last year's Javalina hunt we came...

Hi bboswell, Looks like it could be a target rifle to me. Looking in the Nosler book your load looks to be below minium and your velocity above the max load. What's up? Typo? Thanks,

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the load. What rifle was this shot with?

Nice toy's guys. Jimbries, if she doesn't mind the question, what does Samantha weigh?

Congratulations Guy. I know all of us here are happy for you and a little jealous too. What outfitter did you chose and how long is your hunt? Did you add any "side species?"

What need is the 9mm going to fill?

PJGunner & 1shot. My Nosler manual lists a max load for the .357 mag of 12.3 grains of 2400, yet you both are running 15 grains. This is more than a 20% overload. What am I missing and is this safe? BTW 12.3 of 2400 with Nosler 158gr is a nice accurate load in my Security Six.

Yeah, Weatherby Mag's have a lot of free bore. When working up loads for my .340 I measured a box of factory rounds and matched the average. I did this because the bullet fell out of the Hornady modified case before touching any lands when I tried measuring the chamber. It was surprising...

Way to go Rol_P. Been thinking of that myself, but have joined other groups instead. Kind of like voting more than once to belong to four or five gun rights organizations. Outside of the NRA I believe the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) is the best gun rights...

Unless your really wanting a new barrel Tjay has a very good suggestion. Also, a friend of mine has a rifle that actually likes a good coating of copper. If he cleans it entirely of copper it takes about 20 rounds for it to gain the good accuracy it is capable of. Therefore you may just need...

Hi BuddyT, I agree with Lynn that your case capacity appears to be a little low as mine run in the 74's. Given your are not shooting a Nosler rifle what is the distance from the base to shoulder for fired brass in both rifles? Nosler and fire formed RP and FC brass measure 2.135" - 2.138"...

My gunsmith is also an small time FFL and has verified what PJGUnner stated about copying 4473s. I wonder what happened to all the 4473's from the now non-existent gun shops from the '80s and before. My bet is there are boxes full of these old forms somewhere in some basement in Virginia or...
