Over Thanksgiving weekend I got a chance for the wife and I to get away and for me to try out my new Sigma 150-600 f6.3 lens. This one was only set to 361mm and was then cropped but I had to get this one quickly as she went through and opening in the trees. This one is one of her cubs and was...

Burris and Leupold both made bases like this but if I remember correctly to Leupold had a scalloped edge running down the top sides and the Burris were squared corner like this on. Maybe that didn't hold true for all of them though it's been awhile and my rememberer isn't what it use to be. Bruce

Deerhntr noticed that in my original QL data posts that I had left the COAL set to the length of my 260 Remington loads and not standard COAL. I have corrected the data and anyone who may have copied this can recopy to correct this. This shouldn't be a problem for someone working up to a max...

Looks like that will do for about anything that you need it for. Bruce

Guy, I finally broke down and got the Sigma 150-600 that I mentioned above. It just came in yesterday and I have only taken a few snapshots jus to get the feel for it. I haven't even loaded them onto the computer yet. So far just looking at the camera display it appears to be ok. I'm looking...

You're Welcome Bruce

That's awesome Guy. That is one of the animals I would love to get a decent photo of. We don't seem to have too many here in Georgia and I have only see a very few when I happen to go where they live. Mountain goat is another but I have yet to get to see one of those. Bruce

One last update. I fired one more group with the XP100R and the 43 grain RL17 load. I didn't get another .25" group or even .5" but it did do .80" and the one shot each on the 300 and 400 yarn steel hit close to center and with a very loud smack on the target. Much more noticeable than the 100...

I made it to the range to test the above loads. I was loading the Sierra 130 TGK in Peterson brass which is quite a bit heavier (15gr +-) than my Remington brass. With 43 grains of RL17 and a 3 shot group I got 2577fps avg. ES/11 and SD/7and this appears to be very close to a max load in my...

I Hope to get to the range tomorrow with my Remington XP100R pistol which has a 14 or 15 inch barrel (I forget). and test some loads with two different powders. I can tell you that the loads I have already tested I get 2600+- with Varget and a 120-123 grain bullet and about 100fps less with...

Yes it has been crazy. I also know that my LGS had trouble getting those products and they have tried to keep prices down when they got something. I know some have been talking advantage of the situation but some like this one have had to pay increased prices themselves just to be able to get...

One store near me go a few primers Federal LRP $9.99/100. and just got a little powder. H4831SC was the only one I was even remotely interested in. and it was $45.95/lb so it and the primers both stayed there this time.

I have the same problem. Last summer I cleaned up, put in more shelves and reorganized. Now it’s a mess again. I have a habit of doing test loads for several guns at the same time so I’ll have more than one to chronograph during a session. I tend to not clean as I go. I also tend to buy bullets...

What did the internal damage look like? I ask because my only kill with a 300 whisper handgun and a 125 grain NBT was almost exactly as you describe from the exit wound to the distance ran, with almost no blood trail, just a couple of drops. Then when field dressing I found the top of the heart...

I would go with the RCBS 505 (well actually I did) as a backup and to check and verify the digital results. I will say that I have the old RCBS Powder Pro digital scale and Powder Pro measure that were separate units with infrared connection. It has been very accurate and consistent for me. Part...

Great looking rifle. I have always wanted a #1 but so far it is one of those wish list guns that is still on the list. Bruce

Well I thought I had replied to this but I guess I didn't. Some really good photos Guy and a really beautiful area. We have only been once and that was about 20 years ago. (Dang has it really been that long). We stayed a Jackson Lake Lodge. That was a great trip and we really need to get back...
