    suggestion for shooters pro shop

    There is an option for "In Stock". Place the cursor on "SHOP". When the menu appears, move the cursor to "IN STOCK" and another menu will appear allowing you to see "ALL IN STOCK" or choose from brass, bullets or ammo. This feature has been there since the new SPS website went online.

    270 load good enough for elk?

    I have no reservations about the capability of the 270 Win on elk. I bought my wife a Savage 110 Ultralite in 270 Win last summer and found some Hornady ammo with the 140 SST bullet. They shot really well sighting it in, but unfortunately she wasn't able to get a shot at a bull elk. I'm trying...

    How did you get started reloading?

    I initially got into it by loading my own 12ga ammo due to shooting skeet, trap, and walking sporting clays while I was stationed at then Vandenberg Air Force Base (Now it's Vandenberg Space Force Base). It then evolved to loading for my 44 and 45ACP and finally loading for my rifles...

    2021 Hunting Pictures

    My spike elk on the game trailer I built. Used my 300RUM w/200gn ABs. The game trailer worked great with one minor design flaw, which has now been fixed. The trip from camp to where I shot was a 12 mile round trip.

    Need some help picking out bases and rings.

    Talley ring/mount set-up has been great on 338RUM. I initially started out with Leupold 2pc standard mounts/rings, but the recoil of this gun destroyed the rear standard mount and ring. After reading about a few of you using Talley products, I went looking on Midway's website and found a set of...

    Always pay attention

    About the only thing I'm OCD about it, ensuring the components I use while loading ammo are exactly the products I plan on using. No other powder, primers, brass or bullets are on the bench. And in regards to another post about grabbing the wrong rifle is why I won't have two rifles that are...

    Wife's new rifle

    I've been searching for a light weight rifle for her for a few weeks. She currently has a Savage Axis II Hardwoods in 6.5 Creed, but it weighs in at a little over 8lbs with the scope. She's a breast cancer survivor, but the chemo treatment has totally screwed her body up. It triggered several...
