    Swapping from Evinrude ETEC to Suzuki

    Today I have dumped Evinrude, and opted for Suzuki for saltwater fishing. I have been using Evinrude and Johnsons since 1994, and Mercruiser inboard on a Cobia before that. I am a die hard Evinrude fan until today. I have had a 175 ETEC on my bay boat since 2015 and had issues after issues. Many...

    Little range time 6.5 x 284 / 143 ELD-X

    I could remember i tried a ladder with RL 26, 300 Win Mag and 180 Accubonds, I was pushing 3300 fps. I settled on RL 22 because I barely have a pound left in RL 26, hopefully there are some soon and i'll get a jug strictly for hunting big critters which will last me a long time. In the 6.5 x...

    Spike hunt 1-24-2025

    Yes Sir, made by GA Precision, very accurate rifles I own have been built by them. I love Ballistic Tips, very accurate bullets and performance is great. I have always been confident in my glass, rifle and my reloads to ensure a perfectly placed shot. I was hunting whitetails with my 6.5...

    Little range time 6.5 x 284 / 143 ELD-X

    Temp stability is what I like, I have a large stash of Varget, H4350 and H4831sc, and some H1000 along with other powders. On the previous nilgai hunt with the 300 Win Mag and RL22, I tested it at 85 degrees at a certain speed and it was shooting itty bitty groups with 180 Accubonds, and when...

    .22 Vudoo just came in

    I was out at the range with my daughter, taught her how to keep her thumb lightly on the top thumb recesses in the stock, to keep the trigger on the tip of her finger and to pull straight back without jerking. After learning at 50 yards, she was able to make ragged holes so we moved up to the...

    180gr Accubond Recovered From Red Stag

    Nice write up. Great harvest and congratulations on a fine red stag. 180 AB performs perfectly. I would never pass on them when it comes to tough critter hunting, like nilgai.

    The other day a first poster sent a link to one of my older posts, alerted JD about it and he took care of it.

    Accubond.....discuss

    I love Accubonds for tough critters. These two was recovered from a tough nilgai bull. 180 Accubonds at 3125 fps at the muzzle. When I see a good deal, I buy a large stash of the same lot. I have some 130 Accubonds for my 6.5 x 284 and Creed that I never used before. Soon, real soon.

    A new spin on an old twist.

    May I ask which type of rear bags you recommend using with the butt hook?

    6 Dasher range time

    Headed off to the club yesterday morning to try out the Dasher at 600 yards, I only had 10 rounds of .005" off the lands, and 10 jammed .010" POI on the jammed bullets was different from the .005" off group , it was to the left and low, a few clicks and it was right of the bull, and one click...

    A new spin on an old twist.

    Very nice rifle, I never used the A -3, but have A-5 on all my tactical rifles. I regret that the A5 has the butt hook.

    Why reloading is satisfying (sometimes)

    It's satisfying to see it all come together, good job.

    6 Dasher range time

    Ran some seating depths from touching the lands out to .045" off the lands in .005" increments with the 31.6 grain powder charge, all groups are fantastic across the board with same POI, the last two groups was sighted in, the last group needed one more click to zero. I have 600 yard test...

    I would load them long enough that it fits in your magazine of your rifle. Check to see what your OAL length is touching the lands and seat .020" off the lands if it fits in your magazine but it's crucial to test and fine-tune for your specific rifle and load to achieve optimal accuracy.
