    44 Rem Mag and 240gr JSP Info in Lever Actions

    Enforcer is a good powder for heavy loads, it and Accurate 4100 are the exact same powder just under different labels. I've had the best luck with 4100/Enforcer in my 41 mag lever action with Swift A-Frames.... though 110 is about as good, just harder to find. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    280 Ackley Quickload request...for a my first ever build....

    I'd take a hard look at using Peterson brass...Nosler quality is unpredictable for their brass, one batch might be great, the next might be trash.... I've got 2 boxes of trash. https://www.petersoncartridge.com/match-grade-brass/ Reloder 26 is hard to beat. 8 pounds scoped might be a hard...

    My Divorce From Nosler

    I've got a good bit of time on slick roads... for years I worked mostly in WY, SD, ND, MT, MN, WI.... these trucks have decent power, 515 hp Detroits in them, but we run super single drive tires which aren't much good in snow, especially when you're empty. I got around in the weather just fine...

    My Divorce From Nosler

    As a truck driver that's been dealing with this weather across TX, OK, AR, IL, and IN for about 2 weeks now... all I can say is man we're trying to get stuff delivered, but the hits just keep coming. Currently finding fuel is a problem. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    270 Win vs. 280 Rem vs. 30-06

    Stirring the pot of friendly debate a bit (y'all should know I love the old war horse 30-06 too)... What can a 200 grain 30 caliber bullet do that a 175 grain 7mm bullet cannot also do? Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    270 Win vs. 280 Rem vs. 30-06

    By the numbers, however slim the margin, the 280 is the best all rounder. In the field, just not much realistic difference except at the extreme ends of 270 and 30-06. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    280 Rem or 280 Ackley?

    This will be the first time I've said this out loud.... I do sometimes wish I had gotten a 7mm Rem Mag instead of the 280 Ackley. My 280 Ackley is an awesome rifle, no doubt about it, but I've had some headaches finding brass even before the current situation with reloading components...

    Nosler M48 Footprint?

    Yeah, the Custom Shorter stock is light as a feather.... and as tough as woodpecker lips. Mine has taken a few tumbles, to include rolling the 4 wheeler with it slung across my back. I can't compare it to any other Nosler stocks, but the only stock that feels better to me is the classic...

    Nosler M48 Footprint?

    After Hodgeman mentioned BAT I had to go look at the website... I hadn't made that connection, but it looks like he could very well be right.... there are distinct similarities. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Nosler M48 Footprint?

    They sure do shoot... my 13 year old son plugged a spike at 627 yards with mine last week, right through the heart, DRT. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Nosler M48 Footprint?

    Howa 1500... the M48 is a near direct copy. Though likely built with better processes and components. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    New rifle advice - looking for a triple purpose rifle

    Get another 243.... Going forward components are going to stay scarce off and on, it'll simplify your life and save you money in the long run. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Help me understand the velocity disparity please

    Yep... as stated, need a true magnum powder for the 7mm. 7828, Reloder 26, or any of several others in that burn range. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    A personal tragedy

    Sorry for your loss. I've lost 3 close friends to suicide over the years, one of them being my first "best friend" all through school... we had sorta went our separate ways after school but were still friends as always.... hadn't seen him in about 2 years due to moving a ways down the road, but...

    Winchester Model 70 to free float or not, that it’s the Ques

    My money is on it being the stock...I bet the action is moving in the stock. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Winchester Model 70 to free float or not, that it’s the Ques

    When I restocked the one I had, a 30-06, I free floated it, and it was a .5 MOA rifle with several loads. In the factory stock, it shot most loads at around 1 MOA, and changing the torque on the screws holding the action in the stock shifted the POI. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    A tale of 2 bullets...XTP and A-Frame in 41 magnum carbine

    I'm working on a load better suited to the 210 XTP's too....I have a bunch of them so I gotta make them work for something. Trying to get them accurate at around 1500 - 1600 fps from the Henry without buying more powder. I have AA9, Longshot, and Power Pistol to work with....if I can find a...
