I'm not too technical... I use torch and socket that's just wider then brass and no longer then half length. cordless drill rotating slowly... about 2 -3 revs and drop into bowl of water. I've done mostly WSM WW brass and 243W. This in the past is what in shot the most. Now it's the 243 and...
My opinion - for most hunting situations - no. I like the 7mm bullet, but I also have a few in 30 cal too. Deer and similar game won't tell the difference in "normal" hunting ranges. For larger game - elk - a 180gn 30 cal is hard to beat but if I was to try it would be the 175gn 7mm.
There you go. That's where I'm at. Good comments above from many. Elk and Deer where I hunt don't stand there after the first shot so to say I can put the second shot .....
I'm like most everyone - strive for the smallest group with in reason. Couple of guns can make one hole and couple are...
Fav Elk Rifle .... When I'm getting serious about filling the tag I carry my Sako 85 Finnlight in 300WSM. A Swaro sits on top. Before the 85, I carried a Sako 75 in 270WSM and these two guns just fit so well. I can shoot the Finnlights with out much effort. I'm suprised I don't have a pic at...
That brings back memories!!
My granddaughter was "helping" when she was at that age. She would seat the bullets once set up. What was just crazy is she would recite to her mom the steps of reloading ammo. At about 5 she would measure the COAL and write it down on most of the ammo and put...
I've got two. I haven't shot the 2nd one yet. The Creed was sighted in at 50yds with 2 shots, moved to 100yds, shot then adjusted. Shot 3 shot group and then for fun shot each gong from 200 thru 550. Point is - it responded to scope adjustments with precision. I've shot rocks out to 600 yds...
I went about this backwards. I decided I wanted a big 7. I went with the 28 Nosler. Started getting brass as I found it on sale. Have a few boxes of bullets, 175gn LRAB and Berger 195. Couple boxes of loaded Nosler ammo. I'm glad I waited on this since I was going to go with a Christensen...
Oh man ... I feel for you! I just had Lumbar Fusion #2. First in 2005 and then Aug of 2019. Rods, screws ... the works. I'll tell you that now I haven't been this "Pain Free" since I was 30 years old (25 years ago). Try to keep the attitude and don't give in to it. You can beat this. The...
