    This day 1969

    Summer of '69... I was a little younger and was likely at our neighbor's house bugging him to let me work on his Firebird 400 with him... He took me to the local NHRA dragstrip with him. Doggone thing ran 12's and 13's in the quarter mile and looked great cruising around. I was totally smitten...

    Do you deprime pistol brass before wet tumbling?

    With pistol brass, I tumble it with the spent primers in place. Saves me the trouble of picking out tumbling media afterwards. But I just dry tumble, I'm not doing the wet steel pin thing at this point. After a batch of 45's, 44's or 38's are done tumbling, I resize and deprime at the same...

    Dehumidifiers for gunsafes?

    Thanks all. Much appreciated. I first learned of rust and rifles when I was a Marine and transferred to Washington DC. Put my only rifle, the 6mm Rem 700, in large basement workshop on a shelf, mid 1980's. Had absolutely no time for recreational shooting for a good six months or more. Picked...

    Keith on Partitions

    "For high velocity and long range rifle shooting, the best bullets I’ve ever used were Nosler. They have a fragile tip that’ll expand at most all effective ranges, yet the base half will carry on through the beast and leave a good blood trail.“Gun Notes” (January, 1962)" Yuppers!

    Dehumidifiers for gunsafes?

    You folks who live in more humid climates - do you use dehumidifiers in your gun safes to prevent rust? What else? Yes I live in Washington - but the dry side. Honestly, we get about 8" of precip a year here, despite some pretty heavy snowfall at times. Rather dry here, almost a desert like...

    Powders for .38 Super and .45

    TackDriver - thanks for linking my video. Much appreciated. I don't load for 38 Super, though that may change... Have been loading for the 45 ACP since the mid 1980's. Back then I used three powders for all my handgun loading: Bullseye, Unique and 2400. Classic handgun powders, but all of...

    Nilgai ?

    I do too... Always looking for an excuse to use it. But I'd be equally confident with a heavy or mono metal bullet from the 30-06... Guy

    Nilgai ?

    Paul - this looks like your first post on the Nosler forum. Welcome aboard! Pretty friendly and helpful place here. Heck, I've been posting here for nearly 20 years and some folks were here before me, and are still here! Regards, Guy

    Nilgai ?

    Dunno much about it yet myself. Mostly I've hunted public land or large cattle ranches in the northwest, but it looks like I may be able to hunt Texas in 2026 and beyond. I'll post up about it here on the forum for sure. Everything I've read about nilgai hunting is that it's done on vast...

    Mannlicher rifle

    I've liked this Springfield 30-06 my entire life. It was Dad's favorite rifle, built by his father while Dad was still at sea in the Navy for a couple of years after WWII. I haven't shot any serious groups with it recently, but it always did pretty well. I got that old 2-7x Redfield Widefield...

    Public Lands Usage

    For Oregon I highly recommend: https://aoaoutfitters.com/ Idaho has some great deals for non-resident bear hunters, like $41 tags and a two-bear limit for the spring season! https://cameronoutfitters.com/ I've hunted Oregon elk with AOA outfitters and was very impressed. Hunted spring bear...
