    8x57 200gr Accubond

    Tiny, I haven't done any tests or hunting with the Speer 150, or Sierra 150. I'm still tinkering with those in load development. I've also used the 180gr Nosler BT to take a few deer. So far I've only recovered a core without the jacket but they've all performed well. I did develop a great...

    tumbling in rice

    I've read about people using rice but it gets so dirty so quickly I doubt it's worth the effort. If you want a good economical choice, buy lizard walnut bedding from Amazon and add about 3tsp of mineral spirits and 1 cap full of NuFinish car wax. You'll get way better results than rice

    Sold SOLD - Remington 700 Sight Set

    This set of sights came off an early 2000's era model Remington 700 ADL. I took them off and was hoping someone would have a use for them. The purpose in the tape is to keep the screw for the front sight from getting mixed up with the 2 screws for the back set. $30 shipped to your door in the US

    6mm E-Tips... Availability???

    There's been a shortage of everything for the past 18mo. I'm just assuming but I'd say Nosler and other companies make specific bullets in runs and when they sell out it might be awhile before they get around to making another run. To my knowledge the Etips are still being made and sold.

    Prvi Brass??

    I've used it for 8x57 and 7mm Mag. It won't be Lapua quality but it's very decent. I've had no issues with what I've used

    2021 Fall Hunting Season (Oct to Dec)

    I started this fall with a slight desire to hunt, and it grew like wildfire after the first of October. As the weather cooled down, things heated up in the woods, along with my desire. I gave up bowhunting a few years ago and have recently gotten back into it but with a crossbow. Its lit a...

    What has happened to Speer?

    I've been seeing some SPEER show up lately. What I haven't seen in 2 years is Sierra hunting bullets. Lots of match bullets but no hunting.

    Sauer 100 Black

    Hawk, I went with the Leupold rear windage adjustable bases with the turn in front ring. If I had it to do over again I'd have probably went with Warne Weaver style bases / rings only due to the fact I like those better. I have had zero issues with the leupolds but I like the looks of the...
