    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon

    Now you can buy some tubes for it and have all the shot shell gauges in one gun. I have the 20ga tubes for my Browning Cynergy 12ga.

    Blem question

    Exactly what I did when I first got into loading my own ammo, religiously checked SPS multiple times a day for bullets. I only check it periodically now as I'm well stocked for the calibers I have.

    Canvas Tents

    I highly recommend Davis Tent & Awning. I've had their tent since 2006. If you take care if it, it'll last a life time. Ensuring the tent is 100% dry before storing it is critical. https://www.davistent.com

    30 Nosler Loads

    Congrats to your Bride, Jim. I have the M48 Liberty in 30 Nosler. Currently, I'm using Nosler Trophy Grade ammo with the 180AB and will eventually develop a load for it. I scored big time 2 years ago and was able to get five boxes of Nosler TG 180AB ammo from MidwayUSA for $36 a box. I would go...

    Now available from Nosler

    Perfect example of why you can't get components or ammo.

    Having worked at Cabela's putting out the ammo and other products that come in on the trucks, the local store employees do not know what products are coming in on the trucks.

    2020 Hunting Pictures

    I wish I could post some hunting pics of Elk or Mule deer my wife (As of 5 Sept 2020) and I got this season. I think the lack of finding animals was due to the warmer temps and lack of hunters. We believe with the furloughs/lay-offs due to Covid, lots of people were not able to take time off...

    Voice of Obama

    When I retired from the USAF in 2010, I was almost tempted to ask if they had any of the old Presidential "Certificates of Retirement" that was signed by George Bush instead of getting one signed by Obama....

    Which rifles this season?

    Well, I'm taking out my (Win Mod 70) 270WSM w/140ABs for some of the deer season and take my (Browning A-Bolt) 338WM w/225ABs for antlered elk. Neither of these rifles have seen much use in the last several years.

    Which rifles this season?

    Is it bad that I have enough rifles that I can't decide which rifle to use? LOL

    1 1/2 Years

    Fotis, JD338, and all of the other Mods do a great job here. It's been so long since I joined this forum I had to go look. WOW, it's been 15 years :shock: . Learned lots of stuff here in those 15 years.

    H414 discontinued

    If so, I'm good as I only use it for the 180AB load in my 30-06 and I have 2 full 1lb jugs plus a partial jug of it.

    Special Hunt Applications

    Fiance and I put for Moose here in Idaho, but didn't get drawn.

    Primers?

    As did I. I haven't really needed to buy any primers or powder in 10 years, but I'm not shoot as much anymore.

    338 Again

    With my load development, I'll choose a powder that'll potentially give me beat velocity and fill as close to 100%. Then I'll find the most accurate powder charge. Next, depending on if I need to, I'll play with the seating depth to see if it can make it even more accurate.

    Nosler Accubond seating advice

    I usually start at .020 of the lands, if I'm limited by magazine length, I'll start out by what will fit and function in the magazine with no jamming. Seating depth for my Rem Ultra Mags are limited by the magazine. I found that 3.67" is what will fit and function in the RUM magazine, so I...

    Remington 700 Aftermarket Trigger Upgrade

    I don't remember which RUM has the Jewel trigger and the Rifle Basix trigger. Either way my 338RUM and my 7MMRum both got new triggers. The gunsmith friend in Lompoc, CA did the swap and set them to 2 3/4lbs. They are nice.

    270 WSM info wanted.

    A Winchester M70 "Walmart combination special" was my first rifle I purchased in late 2003. It's been a great rifle. Between my 30-06 and 270WSM, my girlfriend chose it to use in her first hunt ever in 2017. I've taken quite a few CA hogs and blacktail deer and a couple of cow elk here in Idaho...

    Load Development with Accubond bullets

    Most of my hunting rifles are shooting Accubonds. I've found that for me, they have liked very little jump. For instance, my 30-06 has an OAL of 3.39" vs. the Nosler listed SAMMI OACL of 3.34 and their own load data OACL of 3.30.
