When I was a kid and growing up wood heat was always the primary heat source. Even had a wood cook stove for a while. Old farm house, drafty windows, used a lot of wood. I remember cutting slab wood on an old buck saw with one of those large belts hooked up to a pulley on a Oliver tractor...

Don't burn wood for heat, but I do cut and split wood. Use a cheap Poulan 16" that's been a good saw for what it is. My brother has a Husqvarna saw, 20" bar I think it is, that I also use for the bigger stuff. I'm getting a pretty good pile of split fire wood I'll sell. Predominantly red...

Yepper. If you don't anneal it, it can give you some problems when you get some numbers of reloads on them with split necks as they can get hard and brittle quickly. Anneal them every 3 times or so and I will eventually pitch them because of wearing out thin ahead of the web like happens with...

I got 2 unopened bags of the old blue/white Winchester brass in 348 Winchester that I haven't had to get into yet. I'm expecting it to be good brass as those older bags generally were. The new red/black bag in 22-250 was an embarrassment to manufacturing the world over. If I wouldn't of heard...

Well it is a 6mm-458. If you're gonna send off a BB with a Howitzer you gots to think outside the box. :D

I've never bought new Remington brass marketed as reloading brass so that could be different and cheaper on quality control, I wouldn't know. But I've used gobs of once fired factory Remington brass in all kinds of cartridges. It's been as good as anything I've worked with in that measuring...

If it's the red and black bag it doesn't shock me in the least, actually be more surprised if you came on here and said it was decent. They got me on a bag of 22-250, never again. Good as anything else once it was prepped and fireformed, but I'd like to have even just $10 an hr for the time I...

I don't know, there's plenty of people that would argue with the right finessing on loads that a $300-$400 Ruger American will give a rifle like a Tikka stiff competition on accuracy. I expect at that price point to have pieces that stand out as not suiting me. I'm not running down a Tikka...

I don't doubt it, I've never heard anything to the contrary. But if I'm going to lay out $900-$1000 depending on the configuration, they could at least make the appearance of effort towards quality to match the rest of the rifle. The acceptance by the public of sub standard effort and...

A buddy dropped off a Tikka T3X in 7mm-08 to work up some loads for. Wood stock and attractive enough rifle that feels decent to shoulder and I bet it will shoot. But that magazine???? Good grief. If you removed it empty and dropped it on a windy day you would have to chase it down the hill...

Noticed that to a while back. Gotta think it's just that when spooling back up they concentrated on getting the bolt rifles right first and out there at the levels they are shooting for. (no pun intended) The 760/7600 line has always been a good seller since the 760's were introduced in 1952...

Bless you son. May your days be prosperous and your paths walk easy. :)

I doubt the 284 Winchester is gonna come back as a mainstream cartridge but that doesn't mean it's not very good. Like the 257 Roberts it goes from a very useable and nice cartridge to a different animal when it's allowed to breathe and not stuffed into a short action like many of them were. A...

Not being a smart aleck and it could happen next week, but I've never had a stuck case. I could've had them, lots of times. They're not gonna get stuck just spontaneously. I've stopped midway many times and removed that case and put more lube on it and then it sized as normal. But never say...

I don't really care what they do with twist rates as long as the bullets they're making to conform to them or vice versa, doesn't screw up what already works for me. I understand what guys are going after with the faster twists and the long high BC bullets, and not saying I wouldn't pursue the...

Some great rifles Scotty! And even bigger congrats on your family. You doing good. (y)(y)

There's plenty listed so far I can't speak to personally, and plenty of others that I can. All good cartridges. I'll add another to the list that rarely gets mentioned but is a great cartridge out to as far as can be reasonably expected to be able to shoot in normal woods and that is the 35...

I have 4. I've had up to 6 at one time. Down to 2 real good shooters, and a M98 that maintains strong deer accuracy and a Rem 7600 that shoots as well as can be expected so far with just iron sights. Hard for me to not have a couple good 30-06's around. Easy enough to find good accuracy...

I know a guy that bought his first one 5 yrs ago and now he has 6. But don't follow that guy, he's a bit of a looney.

Man I'd have quite a list really. It would all depend on what strikes me at the moment. Some guns you run across and it's like they were sitting there waiting on you. I suppose if a person is gonna dream it would be a Griffin Howe in 250 Savage or 35 Remington. Seen them both. Don't recall...
