    Heads up Burris sale!!!!

    I've not owned a Burris but from the comments I need to take a look them. My criteria for a good scope is that the glass is clear edge to edge and reticle focus is sharp , it provides sufficient eye relief, it tracks well and it HOLDS ZERO. Over the years I've had scopes that looked good when...

    Sabot Sleeves

    The 50 caliber Green Mountain 1:28 barrel That I put on my Lyman DeerStalker is tight. It makes it difficult to load quickly if you would need a follow up. Has anyone found Sabot sleeves that make reloading easier?

    Accuracy Diff with primers.

    I've not seen a noticeable difference in the accuracy of loads when switching between Winchester WLR and Federal 210. The same with WLRM and 215 when loading for my 7mm RM.

    257 Roberts AI Finally!

    That is truly a beautiful rifle. I've been shooting a Remington model 722 that was rechambered to 257 Ackley for about 10 year for whitetail deer, what a pleasure. Nosler 120 grain PTs paired with Reloader 19 has provided good results. Note that Speer 120 grain also shoot well. When it was...

    The Hawken gets it done

    I missed this post when it was new but still want to congratulate you on getting it done. I own three muzzleloaders, 2 in-line and one percussion, but have yet to harvest my first deer with one. The in-lines are both equipped with scopes but I prefer to carry my Lyman sidelock percussion. The...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    When it comes to new rifles I really don't NEED anything. When it comes to WANTS I have my eyes open for a Winchester model 71 in .348, a Winchester model 64 in 30-30, a Winchester model model 70 featherweight in 7x57 and 6.5x55, and a Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen. My goal for 2025 is to...

    Hick's #1 Accurizer

    Does anyone have any experience with a Ruger #1 and the Hick's #1 Accurizer block, Pro or Con? If you do, Did you install it yourself or have a smith do it? I've got a 1B in a 280 that just doesn't shoot as well as I think it should and am considering adding one of these.

    95 grain Ballistic Tip failure on a whitetail

    I know that many love the 243 but I am not a fan of them. Because of all the many articles singing great things about the cartridge I bought two to start my boys. Over a three year period they shot a total of seven deer and we were only able to recover four. In two cases I watched the hits...

    6.5 Remington Magnum Help

    I have a Remington 600 with the 18.5" vent rib barrel in 6.5 Remington Magnum. I've loaded 120 Nosler's with H4831 that shoot well but there is way too much muzzle flash. I'm assuming unburnt powder. I would like to try the 125 NPT but with some something that will be accurate and reduce the...

    That is one nice looking rifle and would appreciate your keeping us posted with your range and hunting results. I've always thought that I should have a 6.5x55 in my collection.

    Horizon

    My wife and I have enjoyed Yellowstone and the spinoffs. Have not seen Horizon yet but we need to remember that these types of shows are made for entertainment and are not necessarily factual, kind of like the election campaigns. So far we've found them entertaining.
