    Reflecting

    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...

    scope mounting / alignment wedges

    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...

    Night force. NX8 vs Leupold

    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...

    A Deal is a Deal

    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.

    A pair of NRL Lapua’s

    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...

    A pair of NRL Lapua’s

    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 pair of NRL Lapua’s

    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...

    A pair of NRL Lapua’s

    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...

    Barrel Cleaning Products

    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...

    Hodgdon 335 Equivalent

    IMR 8208 XBR was a far better choice than the H335 I had been using in a M4 5.56 NATO AR with 69, and 77 gr SMK’s. If that helps?

    Barrel Cleaning Products

    I forgot to mention Isso Bore paste, which I’ve had, and have it sitting around, but have never used it. Frank Green at Bartlein Barrels, and a few others had stated using it will wear down the rifling if used aggressively or often enough, and will remove metal! That said that it will clean a...

    Barrel Cleaning Products

    I’ve used most of my life Shooters Choice MC-7, until I switched to BoreTech back in 2018-‘19? What I found was BoreTech’s chameleon gel really gets rid of the carbon similar to JB Bore paste and Kroil I’ve used for 25 years and MC-7, CR-10 too with copper bullets. Both of those the off...

    Sinclair International scope lapping tool kit.

    Sinclair International 1” Scope Lapping kit. Used very little, has not been used in years. Hence the surface rust on top which is not the primary surface for using it. I purposely put a photo of the rust so the buyer is aware. It’ll come off easily. $45 shipped USPS Priority Mail.

    Another day on the ranch

    Great story, sorry to hear about your loss of a great friend! Nice work on the Coyote! I’ve known more than a few Ranchers who used the Swift, or the 22-250 on everything! Even Deer, and potentially even a Cow Elk? I just know they always had that rifle with them every where, and were...

    .280 Rem. Mountain Rifle

    Welcome to the forum! blkram and Dr. Mike are spot on unless what you’re using isn’t accurate!?! That said, if you’re wanting to test the 175 grain bullets IMR 7828 ssc is one of the best powders in a 280 with a 175 Partition! Those have been available in the last month, so you should be...

    New Member/Loader

    Welcome to the Nosler forum TD. I used to hunt have a Wby. Howa with a 22” #4 Hart barrel in one of their Fibermark stocks that seemed to shoot everything well! It loved RL-15 with any 140 grain bullet that was lead cup and core. The 160 AB it seemed to prefer H414, which is discontinued...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    I picked up (4) boxes of 7mm PRC ADG Brass and a Redding Competition Seating die, along with a VLD Stem. It’s a shame they’re caliber specific, but as you can see from the rub mark on the bullet it matches it up PDG! I’ll polish it to remove the tooling marks and then it’ll be flawless for...

    Townsend Whelen’s Best Cartridges List

    I realize this is an older thread, and love seeing the individual cartridges for the different game animals! But I realized that I seemed to just hunt with whatever was working really well for me at the time, and used that exclusively until I moved onto something else to hunt with after a few...
