Only one kill with the 165 gr. Accubond from my 30-06.I was doing a cow elk meat hunt and the day before the hunt was at the NA's Whittington Center checking out the scope on my .35 Whelen and a custom Mauser 30-06. The 30-06 was brought as back up rifle. When I shot the .35 the reticle in the...

For more years than I care to count I've used the Weaer rings and bases. I still have a couple mounts using the old style rings that clamped only on one side of the scope and they've never failed. Even used them on the .375 H&H Mauser and a Winchester M70 .375 H&H. I still use the Weaver bases...

I'm not sure I want to subject my two F. "Bob" Chow custom .1911s to those +P+ loads. My other custom is based on a Colt Gold Cup Slide mounted on a Caspian frame and is set up for light target loads. I like my Colt Combat Commander and would have to change to a heavier spring for sure...

I never hunted with the .300 WSM but I have helped noobies get their.300 EWSMs sighted on various platforms and did the load work up for a .300 WSM Featherweight for my son in law. Nice cartridge but truth be told, unless I got an extremely good deal on one I'll most likely never own one. Why...

Before I got my RCBS Chargemaster 1500 and CM Lite I did double throws for the .375 H&H and larger. One has to be a bit careful with those automatic powder measure as they can be affected by things like flourescent and cell phones. I had to completely change the lighting in my reloading shed...

I realize that most load data for the 257 Robt. is usually on the mild side but I use a chronograph to work up my top velocity loads so most loads with those bullets were shot at higher than published velocities. Nothing worked from the starting load to well over publish maximums. Results with...

Steve said,"530 yds! I am not sure i can even see that far lol Honestly, I have a SFF scope and not sure I have the skill for such a shot." I knew the area I drew the tag for which was notorious for having to take way out yonder type shots so several months I went through some serious practice...

Not me. They replaced my carburator valve a while back. (Aortic heart valve) Paul B.

Steve, do you know what your velocity is from the 7-08 and the 150 gr. Partition? I've been working with that bullet in the 7x57 but using 7-08 data. I get 2880 FPS on average which is a hair too hot to use on hot days (110 to 115 at the range) so dropped back for general use to 2800 FPS. I...

With me it's not so much the age but the mileage. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Paul B.

Call me odd man out. The last time I loaded ammo for the .270 was in 2009. I loaded the 150 gr. Sierra Game King over a charge of the now very long gone WMR powder for an antelope hunt. Personally, I not a fan of the very popular 130 gr. bullets as they messed up too much eating meat and just...

"Oh to be a weatherman; you can be wrong everyday of your career and never get fired! :LOL:" That's true but you could also get a serious butt chewing from your boss. For 33 years I worked for the National Weather Service and I could pass n the serious tales and a few funny ones. Probably the...

Let's keep this simple. Step one, forget about the belt. It's not easy to get a measurment and if you do they're usually out of specs anyway. This is how I set up my sizing die for bottleneck cartridges. 1. Take a once fired factory round and blacken the neck and shoulders with a Magic...

Not much experience with a .300 WSM I'm afraid. About all I've done with one is I did the original load work ups for my son in law. He wanted to use the 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip. My favorite load with the .300 Win. Mag. run the 200 gr. Speer Hot Core. It worked just fine on an elk way out...

Bruce, I have that same model 70 XTR rifle in .270 and it's one of the most accurate .270s I own. Truth of the matter is I could just sell off every other rifle I own and just hunt with it but where's the fun in that? My rifle has a 24" barrel Does yours? I took a nice antelope with mine in 2009...

The weather most likely comes from the National Weather Service which is a branch of NOAA. Paul B,

"And there is that "one bad apple" that ruins a good thing for everybody else...not asking for permission, driving across crops, not closing gates, cutting fences, going where they were told not to, shooting up equipment or livestock, leaving garbage behind, and so on. What landowner will...

Once upon a time there was a man named Timur I Leng. We know him by a more common name as Tamerlane. He has been known that after conquering a city, he would execute every living soul and make a pyramid of their skulls. One such pramid was said that held more than 100,000 skulls, men, women and...

I retired in 2003. Worked rotating shifts for 33 years. I still haven't gotten my sleep pattern squared away. Some mornings up around 5 or 6, others as a late as 10. My latest cancer regime has left me quite tired at times. One of the problems is dehydration. Bladder wakes me up almost on a...

Well for the two World Wars, we didn't want to get involved until a German U boat sank the Lusitania which has any American citizens on board. We all know that Pearl Harbor was what dragged is into W2. Korea? Not so much except when the North Koreans came over the 38th Parallel there were a few...
