I ended up not buying the one I'd been looking at and ended up finding a smoking deal at auction. (The counter guys at the shop were dinks, so I didn't feel like handing them a large chunk of cash.) The rifle ended up being in perfect shape. In looking at it, if this has been fired more than...

So question... I ordered up one of the dog-gone-good large shooting bags from Sinclair, with the idea of using their 'rubber shelf liner' trick to take some of the sting out of my lightweight magnum rifles. I'm going to guess this isn't nearly as hard on the rifle as a lead sled, where the...

I do not, in any way, mean to start one of those crazy internet dust ups, but an you help me understand where the 280AI fits in the scheme of things? I'd always thought it was simply a very good beltless alternative to the 7RM. Is there something more than that? For the reality in the...

I have alerts set for Midway when they show up as available.... I have 3 different sets of brass prepped and primed waiting for this to show up.

So looking over the "Which AB should be next" thread, I had another thought but wasn't sure if this has been discussed or if anyone else would have any interest. Anyone else think there could be a market for a 200g Ballistic tip in .358? Heck, I'd just like to be able to get my hands on the...

Wow - Love the pictures and the war stories with the 375. Now I'm even more excited to get my bench back together and get going on this one! Much obliged gents, AzDak

The bison made me think of a story about two decades ago when I was working as a camp counselor at a YMCA day camp as a summer job during college. The zoo in our town had a big damn cow and a calf, fairly placid that lived in an enclosure near the parking lot. Our bus unloaded near it and...

I can only say this.. the only real question is why wouldn't you want one? It thumps critters harder than a 30-06, has decent range, a good bullet selection and you have access to almost unlimited brass. It shoots well will a variety of powders and has recoil that is stout, but manageable...

Anyone have any recommendations for good loads for this rifle? I have no ambition or expectation to hunt with this rifle in the next few years, it was really just done as a 'fun' rifle to play around with and appease the need for a 'Safari' gun I've had since seeing Hatari! as a kid. I managed...

A few things... - It sucks. At least we only have to do it once for each case. I take it as my opportunity to handle each piece of brass and do my visual inspections. The Dillon is a very nice piece of kit, and if you're going to be doing a lot, the money is well spent. That said, I...

Not to be a stick in the mud, but it's really dependent on what sort of reloading you're trying to support. For maximum throughput it's hard to beat the Dillon trimmer (caliber specific) setup on a case prep tool head in conjunction with a case feeder. You can basically get three steps...

R19 is in at powder valley... get it before it's gone.

It's why I almost never buy a single box of hunting bullets at one time. I'd rather buy 4 or 5 from the same lot so I know I will have consistency over a longer period. And while I can't say where these variations fall in the grand scheme of things, I can say that a few of the match guys I...

When in doubt.. Blond.. always blond.

I've had very good luck with R15 and the 165g Partition out of a Rem 788 with a shorter barrel. Very accurate.

For deer, I'd look at the 120 or 140g Btips. They shoot extremely well in my Nosler rifle. Black Bear - I'd say give the partitions a shot - proven performer and at the ranges you typically get bear, the 7mm08 should be just fine. Elk - I'd take a pass. I'd either want a larger caliber...

I've seen the same thing at the two indoor ranges I frequent in my town. I've also seen, what used to be a 30-45 minute wait at the huge public range near me, go to a 'no wait needed' almost every weekend.

Looks like some of them have been updated with May dates... dang it!

A heavy 7mm around 175g. I'd love to see a standard AB in that range that could be used by the big 7mm magnum cartridges. Secondly, a 250g AB in .358 to match up to the 250g Partition in the 35 Whelen.

It's like seeing a beautiful woman all tarted up with a thick layer of makeup. Sometimes less.. is more.
