    Partition vs Accubond

    I would stretch the distance out to your max and check them both again to see if there's a standout winner. Otherwise you have two great options. Since they use different powders you have a fallback in case you can't find one or the other. edit - beaten to the punch!

    snow geese trip

    I've found that modified chokes were fine for ducks if they patterned good but Geese demand a full choke for shots over 25 yards.

    CZ 222 Rem

    I wish they would speed up the twist in their .204 barrels. If so, they would skyrocket up my bucket list.

    Is Sierra stuck in the sands of time?

    This was my experience in the two times I contacted them, once via phone and once via e-mail. Maybe I got lucky or maybe Dubyam caught them on a bad day. The only bad experience I've ever had with any firearm related company was with a Kimber rep. All it took was once and I will never buy a...

    CZ 222 Rem

    I've always wanted a Rem 788 in 222Rem. The CZs are excellent choices and the Mannlicher stocks have always been keen to me. I don't see a need for heavy bullets with this cartridge. They make a great coyote gun with the 40-50gr pills.

    .358" 250 Speer HotCor

    That looks great and penetration is superb. I really can't see where there's a lack of bullets for this caliber. There's not many but they all seem to work great. From 35Rem to 358 Norma, there are several solid choices which leave little to be desired. Maybe more heavy, high BC choices for the...

    Question on reloading 270 WSM with RL 22

    Welcome to the forum Capt. Your Tecomate is a no nonsense rifle. Congrats on a fine purchase. I don't load for 270WSM so I won't venture into the load development arena but will give one wornout but always pertinent piece of advice. Speed is nice, but accuracy kills. More excellent loads...

    Sears Craftsman ratchet/sockets

    I've broken 5 or 6 sockets of various flavors and have had no issues returning them for replacement. Also some ez-outs and punches. Agreed that the older ratchets are sturdier in build. Recently I've returned two leaf rakes and was told to keep the exchange receipt. It will be required if I...

    M1A Mags - 5 or 10 rd

    Pre-bans(11+ rd capacity) will become illegal shortly. You must destroy them or sell them outside of NY. This isn't a repeat of the 1994 AWB. Magazines may have the capacity to hold 10 rds only if they were purchased prior to the new law signing but it will be illegal to carry more than 7 rds in...

    Nice score BBH! You should post that in the "Hunting" section! :wink:

    Range day pics

    One of the qualities I like about the Encore platform is the 28" barrel in a 41" package. Nice shooting Tecumseh! If you can verify that AB you've got a fantastic load which can handle anything. Is that a Talley one piece mount?

    Is Sierra stuck in the sands of time?

    I have no problem with their business model. They make accurate bullets that work great for target shooting and hunting. Their products are not intended for extreme hunting scenarios but otherwise they are excellent. I have no reservations using them on non-dangerous big game when impact...

    New build?

    The .204 Ruger is pretty flat and fun to shoot.

    WSMs--why the failure to turn the rifle world around

    I believe they have captured a good percentage of all new rifles purchased. Much moreso than other new cartridges, the RUMs, .30TC, and RCMs. Not so much with the WSSMs though. I think that younger shooters will be more inclined to buy something new. There is still going to be purchases of the...

    Varget Heaven!!!!

    It is the schnizzle in my 22-250, and 308W and load it for family 223 and 7mm-08 rifles. Very useful in so many cartridges. Should have bought the case!! :grin:

    M1A Mags - 5 or 10 rd

    I've moved my hi-cap mags to a safe state. I don't plan on living here much longer, no reason to permanently mod them. Thanks for the idea though. Also looking for a solution to make my pre-ban rifle legal. It has the front sight assy with the dreaded bayonet lug/flash hider. Surely someone...

    barrel cleaning and copper fouling?

    I agree with the "let it be" side of the house. It doesn't look too bad right now. I really can't tell as to when the copper is starting to affect accuracy in any of my guns as I'm a terrible shot so I just apply BTE once a year to get them all back to a zero copper state. Both of the methods...

    Whelen owners motto?

    Funny how everyone thats' not in the Whelen club suddenly wants to be somebody. "OH...OH...we can form a (fill in your non-relavent cartridge) Club and make believe we have something cool going on like all those Whelen owners!!" "We could have meetings and...and...and take minutes...

    Why no love for Hybrid 100 V?

    Those numbers look very appealing for the 257Bob.
