    Just remember that you are then relying on the battery life of your phone which is WAY less than that of the GPS itself.

    German Food

    Schnitzel, Spatzel, Rotkohl, Sausages, a stein of Warsteiner...mmmmmmmm. We used to live near Vancouver BC and this place in New Westminster had a German Restaurant that we would often frequent...man I miss that place. We backpacked Western Europe in '05 and lost a tonne of weight from...

    GPS Units

    I'm using an older Magellan ExPlorist 500. I got it about 8 years ago. It still works and is quite accurate. I got some topo software uploaded into it. It's not as fancy as the ones around nowadays, but it's good for what I need it for. If I had the cash I would probably upgrade to a Garmin...

    Vortex Scope

    I was and still am considering this model maybe even the 4-16x44 for my target rifle. Can't wait to hear about a range/field report with it!

    Seating depth question...

    Just put the order in...they have the OAL gauge, just not the comparator set. Should be here in about 10 days or so. Happy early Father's Day to me.

    They are a nice piece. Built like a tank.

    Seating depth question...

    So All my brass is prepped for both my .308 and .300WM I appreciate all the advice and comments on my other threads. But here is one more question. If I am to play with the seating depth, how am I to measure the depth accurately if the bullets themselves vary (in minute amounts) in length. Is...

    Ideal Elk Rifle

    So, the wife uses my ol' .303 for her hunting prospects, however have been thinking of something else for her to use. And since we have elk around here, well... A friend of mine had mentioned possibly using the 7mm-08 as it would fit her. I thought as long as it used a 140 grain PT or TSX it...

    The venture begins...

    It's not that I'm afraid to use them, it's just I like the idea of no lead in the meat. I settled on the Barnes because of that, but they are quite annoyingly finicky (to me anyways). But having that 200 grain chunk of lead will be a little more security for me, esp around here.

    The venture begins...

    Will be in a .300 WinMag. Using 200 grain partitions. I will be trying H4831SC, CCI250, Winchester Brass. It is a stock Savage 111 FCNS with a Leupold 3-9x40.

    Thanks guys. My brass is currently being tumbled as I write this. I am going to try and get some loaded up this weekend.

    My 30-06 Velocities

    Let's just say that even though they are 2 different creatures, the Nosler Custom Competitions were always in my sights for my new target rifle, they impressed me so much that I decided to give the NP's a shot. My next rifle will probably not be a Whelen though. I'm sure they are great though.

    The venture begins...

    Thanks DrMike. With the soft lead tips, and a magnum, how close could one reasonably get to the edge of the magazine? BTW, I am aware of the metal density thing, I just posted it for interest sake. I guess some rifles like longer bullets, while others prefer... well... maybe my rifle doesn't...

    The venture begins...

    Ok, so just for kicks I exchanged my unopened box of Barnes 180 grain TTSX for a box of 200 grain Nosler Partitions. I thought why not, if they work, great. If they don't well, we'll figure something out. Here's an interesting comparison I had some Barnes singles (180's) and I compared them to...
