Is there such a thing? I picked up Rem 700 in 223 with a Redfield wideview 3-9 and a stick for a stock for $250. No way to go wrong right? Took it to the range and it was easy to see why it was cheep. Long story short it is now at my smiths getting an action job, trigger work and a new barrel...

Being pretty new to this forum I was wondering how folks would react to the threads going on about Russia. I am beyond happy to see that folks here can disagree and still be civil. On many forums if you do not see things one way it becomes non stop insults. There is always two sides to a coin...

Trump was better than the other choice but that does not mean I like or trust him. In the small amount of news I watch he has twice hinted the two term rule might not apply to him. Sort of the same crap his buddy Putin used. And no I am not a Democrat I just have not drank the Kool-aid.

Many are quick to say most of the aid we give to Ukraine is stolen but with no prove. If money is the major point maybe we should start by looking at our congress and finding out they become multi millionaires on their salary. Pretty darn hard to live in one of the most expensive cities in...

No matter the outcome of this war the vaunted Russian army is getting cut to pieces by second rate Nato arms. And Russia is losing the one thing they can not afford to lose that being huge numbers of young men. They already had a huge demographic problem with their birthrate and this is not...

I am the odd man out here. When I retired the alarm clock went for a swim. I have always been a night owl so tend to stay up late and get up mid morning. With our amount of daylight change getting up at a set time is tough unless an alarm clock is used.

It is not unusual for me to not explain things well when posting. Not counting the three duds about half of the other rounds showed sings of the primers being a little high after firing. My chronograph did not show the rounds to be hot. I have not had any problems with factory rounds so this...

I pulled the bullets on the three dud rounds and tried them in my Ruger bolt gun. Two of the primers went off and one did not. All the primer marks looked alike but when looking closer about half of the primers are backed out a little. This gun is used and new to me. I am wondering if I have a...

I was out shooting some PMC 223 yesterday and had three out of 50 rounds fail to fire. That was a new one on me. Anybody else have something like this happen to them? Gun was a Remington bolt gun.

My father was lucky in that he got a free trip to Germany but the war had ended before he got there. His best friend, who had a huge influence on me, was not so lucky. He was a marine machine gunner in the pacific. Got wounded late in the war and sent home to heal up. After he got out he joined...

I use a 35 Whelen for just about everything and so does my son. He does not reload so I try to keep 500 or more ready to go. That way after he puts me in the oven he will have plenty to last him for a while.

Given the larger choice of bullets in 338 I think you have made a good choice. I like being able to use cheap pistol bullets for light plinker loads in my Whelen but if I did not already have, and love, my Whelen I would build a 338-06.

If the gun is biting you in any way you need to fix that. Getting bit when you shoot will do nothing good for your shooting quality.

I have a jug of 2520. Where do I find the lot number on it?

For a regular hunter and not a guide he seemed to have way more than his fair share of goat ropes with them. To the point that those who knew him called him Brown Bear. I never saw him act like he was very excited when dealing with a bear but let him get a fish on the line and he went nuts:LOL:

As you can tell by my handle I am a fan of the 35 Whelen in a mauser action. One winter around the mid 70's my father loaded up a 50cal ammo box of Whelen ammo. All of it was max load of 3031 with a Hornaday 250 grain spire point. That was about all he and I used to hunt with for the next 40...

If you are new to shooting pistols do not expect too much early on. You will get better with practice, a lot of practice. A 44magis a tough way to start with their recoil. I would get some 44 special brass and reload light loads. Your shooting will improve much faster if you are not fighting a...

When I first started shooting pistol silhouette I used a blackhawk 7.5 but it just did not fit my hand very well. Switched to a model 29 but it only lasted two years. They just did not hold up to lots of full house loads. Last 44 was a DanWesson 10 inch. Now that held up but it was as big as 500...

Lately I have started shooting 44 special loads through my M-29 for a fun load. I have found full tilt 44 mag loads to be not much fun in a 4 inch M29 but it makes a good carry gun out in the woods. If I think there is a chance I might need a lot of pistol power I carry my 500 with 380 grain...

I know and follow the start low and work up rule but have a question with the 6.5 creed. Both Hornaday and Lyman show 40.0 of H4350 as a max load with 147s but Hodgen online is showing 42+ as max. Seems like a pretty large spread and am wondering why?
