VV N160 worked great in my 260 after having accuracy issues with H4350 which has always been the go-to powder for decades. That said hopefully you’ll have some luck with VV N560, it will reduce the life expectancy of your barrel though.

Last month I missed the opportunity to take one of two coyotes ranging to dial or knowing where to hold, Mil based reticle, rather then just shoot the damn thing. Which got me thinking about going back to Maximum Point Blank Range for a 4” kill zone. So I got out my .223 Remington 700...

I had mine built by GAP when George brought it out and components were becoming readily available. The the 6GT AKA “Gay Tiger” was formed from 6.5x47 brass that was shortened, and necked down to 6mm in the very beginning. It required a lot of effort to make from the Lapua case. Eventually...

Great job Jim, and Sue! That’s nice that you both tagged out together on what would have been an exciting day in the woods!

Sorry for the late reply! I used a 1970’s Remington 16 ga. 870 WingMaster. Shooting Federal Hi-Power 7 1/2 shot with a Modified Choke. He was less than 20 yards from us when he stepped around the corner of the trees we were seated in front of.

I will add depending on how you use your scope, make certain that you are familiar with using the reticle, and enjoy using it for your needs. There are some scopes that depending on the reticle options, that have brought me to purchasing their product! I’ve spent a lot of time behind...

It’s a single stick of powder in some cases or two depending on which Hodgdon Extreme powder you’re using.

Here’s how the spread between 41.2 target charge weight numbers look for 30 pieces. 17@41.18 10@41.20 3@41.22 It will vary from time to time on the heavy side if the trickle speed is too high. I don’t really care though. I can’t shoot well enough to make a difference at a match for that...

Thank you very much Ernie, and Guy! Guy, I use the Short Action Customs Modular sizing die due to it allows me to use it for anything that is a x47 Lapua. The shoulder/neck bushings take care of sizing the entire length of the neck and the shoulder gets stretched to the neck. A 25x47 comes...

Lots of ammunition to make today!

I tested the BoreTech Suppressor cleaner's for Zak Smith in two of his cans when they first came out with it. It’s a two part system, A and B. It worked extremely well and clean everything down to bare metal. Unfortunately it is expensive, and not something TBAC would take on due to the...

Vince, I didn’t see this until just now. I remember years ago when you were working as a prison guard, and the trouble you were having back then? I’ve been single most of my adult life, a failed short term marriage thirty years ago, and at one point twenty years ago tried to have children...

I have one very similar. It helps with its intended purpose quickly. Just make sure you don’t squeeze it down before the scope is fully seated in the rings. One piece scope ring tend to not have a lot of space for it to work. Spur rings come with the same device, without the bottom piece...

Yes, I see lots of Leupold scopes at Shooting Events, and I know even more Top shooters that swear by them….. So much that I bought one too a little over a year ago and it works flawlessly! I have a Mark 5 3-18 with the PR2 reticle and love it! That said it is a 1st FP scope and YES, the...

You should look up to see if there’s a Black Walnut producer in your area or near you? They’ll buy them from you! Evidently there’s some people that really love eating them. Might be worth a trip to recoup some of your expenses on those trees.

Thank you very much for the kind words about Casper Guy….. He’s a hoot, and loves being outside hunting with me. I don’t have a lot of experience with the Elite Hunting bullets except head shots, which weren’t far and only for meat hunts or Coyotes. That said I’d much rather use a Nosler...

Installed the MUB mod dos plate to the tripod via a ball head. Worked better, but I don’t like adding more equipment, and weight to my kit. That said it did work for putting rounds onto each plate.

A lot of shots are off a tripod, so that’s what I’m training for. Prone is way too easy even for a KYL Rack at 320. Well even after making a 1/10 mil adjustment up I was barely hitting the 6” and 4” plate which I saw and held at the 11 O’clock position on the 4” plate only center it up. The...

I have a three day field match coming up so I’m going to do some training today since it’s so nice outside this morning. I always check my zero before proceeding. That said I don’t always adjust the scope until I arrive at the location of a match the day before. Here’s today’s Cold Bore, and...

It’ll shoot a 1” group between 100 and 120 yards with Speer RB and FF Swiss with a RWS precision cap. In Idaho we can only use primitive weapons for muzzle loading season. I found three round balls that went 200+ yards that my friend Elizabeth shot that missed the steel plate at 120 yards, but...
