(y) Absolutely agree... its the difference between hunters and shooters.. Take care Ed

Aint that the truth!!! This spring Nosler brass was available and I stocked up. Its a little pricey, but so far been good stuff. My wifes Bob gets that brass. I still have a lot of WW brass and my rifle uses it. Good luck with your loads. Take care Ed

I assume that your 722 has a 22" barrel? I load for 2 257's, one is a Ruger M77 MKII 22", which is my rifle. The other is my wifes Ruger#1, 26". For the heavier bullets a slower burning powder works best.. Both of these like Norma MRP, and using the 115 gr BT will shoot sub 1 MOA. Reloader 26...

I would love to find the history of my old Mauser.. I picked it up at a gun show in Wichita KS back in 1990. I know that Montgomery Wards and Sears sold a lot of these that were already sporterized and this specimen has that look.. Whoever did the work did a top notch job, bolt is smooth as hot...

Congrats on the fine buck. Sometimes just getting out in the field just does the trick, and you never know what will show up.. Glad you got out there and Got Er Done.. (y) Take care Ed

Last spring I attempted and completed a complete refinish of my sporterized 1891 Mauser in 7.65. Sanded the stock down to bare wood, used the Birchwood Casey stock refinish kit,and did a cold blue using the Birchwood Casey cold blue kit. Both kits are excellent products. If you were thinking if...

The No 1 is a classic rifle and your caliber choice matches it superbly (y) .. They hold their value well too. Congrats Ed

Congratulations to you and your dad on 2 fine Elk specimens. Great hunt, you both should be proud of your accomplishment. I have hunted Elk in Colorado since 1998, as a resident for 15 yrs and a non resident since. I have never been able to accomplish what you 2 did. So my hats off to ya' Take...

Anything wrapped in bacon sounds delicious, but this sounds delectable... (y) Will have to give this a try. Thanks Ed

Go get em Rodger, Godspeed...

Thanks again Dr Mike.. Interesting about Superperformance, I can use the data from the Hodgon website. It looks like it is a good choice for the 06. Guy, any pointers you have for loading this great cartridge would be appreciated. It is amazing that it gets no love these days.. It will get the...

Thanks so much Dr Mike, could you possibly run one with Hodgon Superperformance, and a burn chart also.. Results definitely look good, even with that short barrel. Take care Ed

After our unsuccessful Deer/Elk hunt in CO. My son asked me to work up a good Deer/Elk load for his 30-06. His rifle is a Remington 700, not sure of the model, but it has a 20 inch barrel. In the past I had loaded 165 gr Grand Slams with IMR4350, but this time I would like to go with a little...

My wife Kelli, and my oldest daughter both hunt and have both ben very successful at it. Take care Ed

100% agreed..... Dull finish, plastic stocks, machined everything.. A hunting rifle to me is an expression of who the hunter or huntress is, and how the look at what they are doing in the field.. Care and respect come to mind, and it shows in a fine rifle. I guess I am old school too. I will...

Yes, hunting can be difficult. Its all about being in the right place at the right time. Weather (or lack thereof), can adversely effect the quarry we are hunting for. I can't count how many times I came home with track soup, and it don't taste good. :lol: When I was younger I would get...

My dad always told me "it only takes one".. :lol: , I usually take 20 or more depending on how many I have loaded up. Carry enough on me to refill the mag. Take care Ed

I look at reviews for products like I look at editorials. Take them with a grain of salt. There are those with an ax to grind about anything and everything. You can usually smell those out pretty easy. I read the reviews and decided to try it out as it looked like a good product.. YMMV Take care Ed

I just purchased one of these to replace my Lee Challenger press which I wore out. Just got it setup this afternoon. Heavy bugger for sure. Resized a bunch of RP nickel brass in 270 win that had previously been resized with the Lee. This particular bunch of brass had been once fired in my wife...

What a great hunt, and congrats on the success. Thanks for the pictures. Take care Ed
