    Lucked Up On Some Bullets!

    Yes sir, that's a deal. I remember several years ago I was at Wally World after deer season ended. They had put their Blackhorn 209 powder on clearance. I bought 5-6 bottles of it for 14 dollars per. I'm still using that supply as well.

    Lucked Up On Some Bullets!

    I've probably killed 100 or more deer with just Nosler 7mm bullets and never had an issue. The BT's are outstanding bullets when used within their design parameters.

    I don't have a 6.5 but 41 to 45 grains of Sta.ball 6.5 should get you to where you need to be with the 140 gr BT.

    Lucked Up On Some Bullets!

    I was tooling around in my local outdoor store the other day and came across these bullets. 20 dollars per box. Every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut. I guess I'll add them to my stash of Nosler bullets. I have other flavors that I currently use but couldn't pass "um up.

    Whitetail bullet options

    Here's a recovered 284 cal 154 gr SST out of my 280. Buck was facing me at about 65 yds, shot the buck in the neck. It traveled down the neck into the chest. Found the bullet in the liver. Buck was DRT.

    Public Land Turkey Hunting Tips

    What species of turkey are you dealing with?? I will say this, if "your" public land is anything like the "my" public land your endeavor is going to be TOUGH and I mean, TOUGH! I have killed most of my gobblers late, late morning. It's so tempting to keep calling because it's exciting to hear...

    A Little Range Time Today

    Not sure. I just got a Chrono yesterday. Didn't really have time to set it up. Im going back to the range next week and see how fast or slow some of my loads are. Im curious to see how those .308 165 gr SB's perform on deer this coming season

    A Little Range Time Today

    Sure, it'll hunt and I would be happy with it but honestly, that one, like the vast majority of "just a bit off" shots are shooter error. I know that one was. It's hard to keep your focus at a public range when there's 10-12 others banging away

    A Little Range Time Today

    Today was a beautiful day in my area of SC. Highs were in the mid 70's with just a slight breeze. I finally got my 308 die set and put together a couple loads to try Friday evening. I also bought a box of the new Nosler 165gr Solid Base bullets. I put together 15 rounds powered by IMR-4895 and...

    Decisions...Decisions...Decisions

    Ive always been partial to the Browning rifles. I have owned several down through the years with my current Browning being a ABolt in 280 Rem that I have owned for 30 years. I've killed upwards of 120-130 deer with it, along with a few hogs. It shoots just about anything that I put in it. If I...

    What powders should I look to first?

    As most have said, H110 is an awesome powder in the 44 mag. It likes to be used "full strength"!

    Copper Oxidation

    You can use acetone or laquer thinner to dissolve the moly. Pour enough into some sort of container to cover the bullets. You can also use a tumbler but it'll take longer than the chemical method.

    Where is Spring!

    It was 75 degrees here in upstate SC today. We have had some 80-degree days the past week or so. Things are budding, and the peach trees are starting to bloom and turkeys are starting to gobble. However, we are expecting colder weather this upcoming week with lows in the upper 20s and highs...

    Scope Conundrum!

    I had a Swarovski many years ago and like a fool I sold it. One of the worst mistakes I ever made. S&B scopes are out of my price range.

    Trade

    Im not sure if this is the place for this, I just bought a 308 win and I thought I had a 308 die, however, after looking I do not have one. Would anyone here have a 308 win die they would be willing to trade for a RCBS 7mm Rem mag die?

    308 Load Data

    I was at my local Wally World yesterday and they had a Ruger American 308 on "clearance" for 340 dollars. I really didn't need it but need is sometimes not the deciding factor. 😁 I was wondering if any of you all had any shareable load data? I really like 165 gr bullets in a 308, however...
