The problem is likely exactly what flyingagg describes. Conventional dies cannot size right above the belt in cases that are shot in z as different rifle. Only the Willis or Wilson? Die will fix this. I have run into this issue many times before with brass I have picked up
I received my Steiner scope yesterday and mounted it on a rifle today. This evening near dark I tested the following scopes against the Steiner Predator 4 2x10x42.
1) Swarovski 4x12x50 AV
2) Zeiss 3x9x40 Conquest MC (Meopta made)
3) Tract Toric 2x10x40
4) Trijicon 3x9x40 Huron
5) NF SHV 4x14x50...
I have 2 pairs of Steiner binocs that I hunt with and they are excellent. Looking thru some of the “claims” on the Predator 4 series got me interested mainly in low light performance. I have ordered the 2x10x42 on a good Black Friday deal and will be comparing them to the Trijicon Huron, ZEISS...
I am using VV N160 in mine with 140 gr bullets with great results as well. The VV powders have been more available than most and sometimes even cheaper
so many choices, so little time!
Since I will be only hunting deer this fall, will probably rotate 257 R, 25/06, 270 Win, 6.5x55, 308 and 30/06. Might throw in a 7 mag as well.
You guys dont miss a trick! Here is the story. As I said earlier, I spined the bear on the first shot and it was academic after that. But since it is a dangerous animal, my guide kept telling me to shoot as long as it was moving. So on the second shot when the bear picked up his front half I...
Guys, although I did not post alot about getting ready for this trip I did have a few posts asking about outfitters and load/caliber suggestions over the past 2 years. I just came back from my long awaited hunt so decided to post a report for those who might be interested.
I hunted with H&H...
I bought a batch of assorted pull down bullets last week and got 7 of these strange bullets I cannot identify. They are .277 diameter, 113 gr weight, no visible hollow point and 3 grooves, obviously an all copper bullet. I was thinking this might be intended for a 6.8 SPC or 277 Fury but that is...
Already done. I have Leupold QD’s and have a spare ZEISS 2x7 already sighted in as a spare. I keep checking my QD’s after every shooting session or hunt and they have been rock solid
I will be talking to my outfitter again in the next couple weeks. He originally wanted me to shoot a 300 mag but I prefer the 375. He said I needed to be able to shoot a 300 yard shot if necessary. I understand that his experience with clients shooting big rifle might not be the best. But I went...
thanks for all the advice and opinions. Trust me, this Cajun boy, when hunting something that can eat me, will keep shooting until I am certain the bear is dead or I run out of bullets! And I plan to bring plenty bullets!
