    What an Awesome Morning!!

    "What an awesome morning." My grandson and I got set-up around 6:20 this morning and waited on daylight in hopes of hearing a gobbler. It wasn't long until our anticipation was rewarded with a resounding "good morning world" from a deep throated gobbler. One gobble would have been enough but as...

    We Have Found A Winner!!!

    Well, I "think" Ive found my load. After increasing the charge weight half a grain from the previous charge weight it seemed to really like this combo. Load consists of Hornady brass, IMR-4895, WLRP, 165 gr Nosler Solid Base bullet and 2.800. coal. Temp was 80 degrees today and sunny. The...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    Scope Conundrum!

    I have a Leupold VX3-HD that I was resetting to optical center the other day and noticed I didn't have the required "clicks" to match the specification of 75 MOA. If one MOA is 1.047 at 100 yds there should be 300 clicks of total elevation travel. 37.5 moa up and 37.5 moa down, which works out...

    Showing Promise!

    Since it's been around 65-68 degrees the past few days and looking like a little warmer in the coming days I got to the range today to test a few loads. This is looking like it might be the one.

    Well, after three years I've actually saw the elusive large rifle primer. Glad I didn't need them.

    Whatcha Think!

    I was gifted several pounds of IMR 4831 and 4895 yesterday. This powder has been sitting in a metal box for a good many years. Not really sure how long or the conditions. When I opened the box all the powder cans had red rusty tops. I opened a can of each and the powder smelled and looked...

    No Deer, But

    Got in my stand Sat. morning about 6 am. Around 8 am I had two small bucks come through. I thought I would see more deer but as luck would have it that was it until 11:45 am. Im kicked back in my ladderstand enjoying the beautiful leaves and all of a sudden there stands a big ol nasty coyote at...

    Love That IMR 7828

    While many may say that IMR 7828 is temperature sensitive, and they may be the case in some applications but I have found right the opposite in my rifle. While I don't have chrono numbers this load shoots the same in 90 degree plus heat as it does at 40 degrees or less. It was a little rainy...

    I Despise Coyotes!!

    I instituted an off season predator trapping regimen on my land about 3 yrs ago. So far it has been paying off! I have had better fawn and turkey recruitment from data off my trail cams as well as better hunting! I understand that elimination is not going to be possible nor am I trying for that...

    Big Game Powder

    I have been wanting to try this powder for some time in my 7-08 so I finally got a lb. Loaded up a few different bullets, 140, 150 gr BT's along with 140 gr Nos Part and 140 gr Sierra GK's. Some of the powder charges resulted in some flat and slightly cratered primers along with some slight...

    QL Request

I have "found" a couple loads that shoot really well but I would like to know what the estimated pressure and velocity would be with these loads. If someone would be willing I need...

    Decided To Try and Make A Difference

    I run trail cams 24/7/365 and have been for several years. A few years ago on my property I started getting a few pics of coyotes every so often. This didn't seem to be a big deal at the time but oh, it was!! A couple years ago I got a pics of these stinking yotes killing fawns! I said, "enough...
