Silly question - how many points do you have? General unit or something more specific? Horseback, truck or ? It all makes a difference.

Tikka is supposedly waiting on CIP approval (European version of SAAMI) before considering chambering it. Never mind that most of their rifles are sold in the USA…

The Chargemasters are fine until you get a more precise scale that tells you how much their weight is off. I bought a GemPro 250 years ago from Old Will Knott Scales. It goes down to 0.01 grains (!), which is one place further than the Chargemaster's 0.1. Currently I use the Chargemaster to...

I have used Timney, Rifle Basix and another brand I can’t recall on Vanguards. I still have them all. My favorite remains the Timney, as it’s the only one that keeps (or adds) the 3 position safety. 180 TTSX or 180 Hammer Hunter with 7828SSC works great.

I’ve tried a lot of different combinations on Weatherby rifles, Mark V and Vanguard. My favorite remains the Talley lightweight 1-piece mounts. I still lap them once installed just to be sure, but they work very well with a minimum of fuss and less pieces. If you want the cost-no-object option...

Hornady comparators, but I also own the Forster ones. Whichever you like, just learn to use it. The Redding micrometer seating stems can be swapped between various cartridges using their standard dies, so you can save some money that way. There is a list or chart on their website that shows...

Congrats Fotis! Great job!

I generally don’t worry about exactly where the seater pushes on the bullet. I seat bullets about 0.010 out from my target base-to-ogive length, then use the comparator to measure the actual base-to-ogive of the one I just did. Since I use micrometer seating dies, I then add the correct number...

I always use a comparator to measure to the ogive, and ignore the location of the tip, so to speak. It's the ogive that will hit the lands, not the tip, so if you keep the ogive in the same place you're doing the right thing. The only time I pay attention to the tip is when I load a dud sample...

It's hard to beat a Lee collet die for neck sizing IF they have one in your size. Many cartridges don't have one listed, though if you're like me you find one that's close and therefore usable. Body die to bump the shoulder, followed by a Lee collet for the neck. It works great.

I use a Platypus to filter water when we go out. Mine is the 4L size, and they now make a 6L. It works amazingly fast for the 4L, though the water in the lakes in Canada appears to have less sediment than what I see in your picture. So, if you want one that is likely faster, it's a thought.

Here you go. 35 Remington. It's got a few small scuffs and scratches, but that means you can hunt with it and not care. @SJB358 Let me know if you have any interest.

If one of the StaBall powders is appropriate for your rifle, what I have seen with StaBall 6.5 is VERY impressive. More velocity and less ES/SD. Highly recommended.

All Reloder powders are suspended for commercial use. All of Alliant's production is being used for government contracts. Even the OEM companies can't get them, which is why Hornady had their recent 7PRC speed snafu.

Think about something like this dryer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00486U71E/

I'll still have two TCs just in case. I need to thin my herd in general.

I think I'm going to sell a couple of my muzzleloaders as a result. I bought two nice Knights just prior to the rule change, and have no reason to keep them unused here.

Gotcha. We did not take in any live bait last week, but are already discussing minnows for 2025. The group after us hammered them with minnows.

I can look tonight when I get home, but I believe it's a TC Contender, 35 Rem, Pachmayr stocks. I picked it up several years ago because I have 35 Rem in a few Marlin 336s, but I have never shot it or scoped it.

I have a bit left from when it was reasonably priced. However, MI went to "any legal weapon" season rather than MZ-only, so my reason to use it stopped. I haven't even loaded my muzzleloaders in several years.
