I’ve loaded tightgroupnin 45acp and my experience with it in 38 special made me start looking for new hand gun powders. Found the flake powder didn’t meter well for me.(using a Lee auto disk in their progressive kit,) now using accurate #5. I too have a 6” 629 full lug, shoots like a dream… the...

I’ve had a 40 acre parcel in the Manistee national forest for three years. Deer, coyote, bear fox and finally yesterday a Tom showed up on camera. The hen hasn’t been caught on camera yet…

300 WSM, well, the whole WSM family is a really great family. Win 760 and H414 were classic WSM powders. I did get a hunny of a load using W780 under a Sierra ProHunter 220gn RN. Chrono said almost 2700 fps and it caused carnage on the bear my son shot with it. We recovered the jacket in the...

Above is a Barnes TTsX in 130gn and a Barnes X bullet also in 130 gn for 0.277 caliber. So I’ve been going through the 270 Win Hand me downs that came with my latest new to me 1961 model 70 featherweight. . The X bullet is new to me. I have 18 loaded X bullets and 5 more not in a case. I have...

Scotie, just picked up a P64 22” feather weight.. previous owner was seriously into cup and core. Loaded Speer, Hornady, and Sierra, and also Barnes HP, (mono), all at 59 grains of H4831. Haven’t shot it yet. I received two sets of dies, 2 # of H4831, about 600 Sierra gamekings(130-150) 200...

Dang… I like those.

What a dream hunt! Congratulations!

Been listing for a 7mmPRC, but want it in a model 70… yesterday I picked up a pre64 in 270 win. Came with a vx3i, two boxes of supporting materials. two sets of dies(one looked unused) and a lot of bullets(Hornady, Sierra, Speer and bowlers) and powder.. and he threw in 7-08 and 7 rem mag...

Not to shade your outfitter, but helped a friend get ready for a hunt “out to 400”. Guide on first day of the hunt, told him to take the shot at 850. He did. Missed 11x. Completely messed up this head. He held over 44”. He called me that night and I ran the dope for 850. He needed 120”’of...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! My wife and I rang in the new year with Pink eye. Ugh. Happily we got it from our grandkids who stayed with us for a week. I didn’t get it until the day after I left. I had a goal of harvesting a white tail with my 3030. Sad to report, my 40 went cold 2...

Got 6 boxes of H SST 117 super performance at Scheels. It was Online and shipping was a reasonable $7.99. I could not find brass in stock for 257 Roberts. It’s based o 7x57 Mauser.

Just a pre rifle season update. Went with SPH 150 FN over 34.2 gn of varget. I’d call it just a bit over 1” at 100. Some of my frustrations with the brass and seating does might really be a neck size issue. I am not getting consistent neck tension to get consistent seating depths. So a lot...

My 3030 liked the Sierra prohunter FN 150 over 34.2 gn of Varget. Also loaded at 2.595” which got me from 2-4” groups to 1.25” inch and it cycles fine through my action. Lee factory crimp.

Ingot the wheeler lapping kit. Frankly, I’d recommend it on big Magnums, but know people who haven’t and still get great results. I just mounted a 3x9 on a 3030 and did not lap them. I also mounted. 45/70 and didn’t lap them. The 300 WM and 300 WSM got lapped. I’m picky about those two...

It was.

Thank you for posting. I was a bit early. Closer to 10:30am. Would have been fun to be there.

Hi Jim, I went to the junk yard and found a couple barely used bench seats from Mini vans. They sit might warm and if you need a nap.. you can hog the bench to yourself. I never insulated mine. The biggest mistake I made was leaving a mineral lick in it over the winter.. the mice got in and...

I’m in SC visiting my son and wanted to go pick up some bulk plinking ammo. As I pull up the the Summerville PSA, cops have the backside of the building blocked off and police everywhere, as I drive around it, add a barricade of fire trucks and patrol cars, all flashers going establishing a...

Actually with the LVR and 150 SPH, book says I should be about 2512. I’m burning up the 130’s to work my soft brass. cFE223 middle load.. might do the same with the CTBT 150 RN or maybe throw that at the 3006 and see if they shoot well there. Going to retest varget.
