Hehe. But I throw horses around for a living and some already call me Popeye... :wink:

Figured as much. Thanks for the quick replies!

I purchased a parka and bibs from Midway on super clearance. I followed their measurement guide when ordering and both the parka and bib fit fine. My concern is how baggy the arms and legs are. I feel like I could down size one, but is the extra bagginess part of the insulation? I did try...

I noticed that 3 of the Enduron powders have no value for regressivity (a0). Having no idea what that is, I wonder if that has something to do with the odd predictions. Anyone know anything about regressivity?

Get much smoke with that load and a short barrel? My 7 rem mag load is a 140 accubond over 7977 running 3085fps. A little slow, excellent accuracy, smokes like a campfire using wet wood...

Just got the newest update in the mail today. Loaded it on the computer and adjusted my powder list to include the Enduron powders. Ran a few simulations with various magnum cartridges and am confused. I thought that IMR 7977 was the slowest of the Enduron powders, between H1000 and IMR 7828...

They are starting to pop up again. I picked up the last 2 bricks at the local shop this past weekend.

I have been debating which powder to load. QuickLoad makes RL26 look like the drug of choice. Anyone have any experience with it? Alternatively, I could load IMR 7828 as I have lots laying around. What about IMR 7977?

Looking for any input or experience anyone has with self-guided operations in central Montana. Elk and/or deer on the menu.

A guru at the range tried one. He thought the grip-n-pull was ok and said it would mark some bullets up a bit. Figure it would be fine for hunting loads but probably not as good for competition loads. If I didn't already have a collet puller, I would probably buy one too.

Re-weighed the rifle with a more accurate scale. Add 4.5 ounces. Total weight is 7lbs. 14.5oz. Still pleased. Polished one burr on the feed rails that was scratching brass and pulled one chit of aluminum out by the front sling stud. Otherwise the rifles finish is very nice. Cleaned the...

It is a Bell and Carlson stock. I think they changed it some compared to the older ones. The color is definately different. The website says 6.75 pounds for short actions with 22 inch barrel, 7.0 pounds for WSMs with 24 inch barrel, and 7.25 pounds for long actions with 26 inch barrel. The...

Got all of the pieces in place and started putting it all together tonight. Rifle passes the look test. Stock fits well to action, barrel is generously free floated. One faint scratch on the top of the barrel that runs about 3 inches... Total scoped weight is 7lbs 10oz. The rifle is very...

I guess I never thought about it that way. But yes, I have more than a lifetime of hunting bullets. Now when my wife asks me if I have enough bullets I won't be able to answer her truthfully... Shoot! I always seem to buy enough to wear a guns barrel out. But I will probably never burn a...

It is settled. M70 Extreme Weather on order. Ordered a Leupold Vx-3i 3.5-10x40 with CDS that was on sale through Midway with lightweight Talley rings. Should all be in hand next week. It will come in a little heavier than I had originally planned, but I haven't owned a M70 for 25 years...

No kidding. I was trying to figure out if there was any way possible. I think I have heard of guys chambering a bolt gun in 30-30 so they can run up the pressure, but why??? Or maybe he was confused and called his 300 RUM a 30-30??? Or was using drop data out to 100 to estimate his speed...

You are loading 9mm Luger for your Ruger?

It is a great looking rifle. How much does that rig weigh? Will be ordering the Extreme Weather this week, I think.

Ya know, Quickload shows the 300 RUM with N570 would get close to 3800 with a 26 inch barrel... :roll:

Its been several years since I had the same problem. I spoke with a lady who didn't want to say much, suppose from a liability standpoint. She had me ship all of the remaining primers, the failed primer, and brass case. She offered to pay any repair expense at a gunsmith and to replace the...
