    IMR 4064 and H 414

    Attended our local gunshow this weekend and found quite a bit of IMR4350, 4064, a lot of alliant powders, all one pounders. No pistol powder at all. Two gun shows ago I found an 8LB can of 800X which will serve as pistol fodder for awhile. For whatever reason pistol powder is in short supply...

    An outdoor philosophy

    Guy, your post on swimming brought back some memories, both current and in the past. I still Scuba Dive at 70 years of age and my buddy and I usually travel between 8 to 16 miles off the coast. During the summertime Florida gets a lot of interesting Thunderstorms that pop up on short notice and...

    338 Lapua

    Just make sure that if you're not wearing a lot of clothing for your shoulder you are wearing a good recoil cushion. The Lapua is the ballistic twin of the .338RUM and I (along with Jim and a couple of others) can tell you that with 300 grain bullets along with 3000FPS your rifle is going to...

    Browning Hi-Power rifle stock

    Divernhunter, There were a number of years that Browning used salt in the process of making the gunstocks of their highpower rifles. I'm not sure of the dates but from what I've heard the salt does cause corrosion problems. Maybe someone on the forum can add to this.

    How often do you trim your cases

    I trim after each firing (after resizing case). I've noticed that after firing cases do stretch to different lengths, probably not critical but I'm thinking if each case neck grips the bullet for the same length it can't be a bad thing.

    Best all-around medium power cartridge

    My Rem. 700 Titanium in 7-08 is to me the perfect medium rifle. Taken deer and Caribou with it. An available variety of bullet weights fills the bill perfectly.

    Scales

    I have an 0haus/RCBS scale that I've been using for the past 30 years. Serviced only once and still works fantastic.

    Growing storm in B.C. Residents vs guides

    Doc, this isn't related to the subject matter but wondering what the outcome was with the people that had to leave their houses from the floods and Law enforcement subsequently came in, broke into their houses and removed all their firearms. We're the firearms ever given back? I believe the...

    150 gr ballistic tip for elk

    Having used the ballistic tip for a lot of years and observing performance on game I would use the Accubond and Partition for animals larger than deer sized game. Actually the partition works on anything and everything.

    Ruger Number 1's Outta the box accuracy

    Guy, interesting you mentioned the .375 No. 1. I had one a number of years ago with a Swarovski variable on it. At 200 yards I was getting a little over 1 1/4 inch groups with 270 grain Speers I believe with IMR4350. Didn't do any tune up work with it. It just plain shot well. Sold it and...

    Competition Dies

    I've used Redding competition dies for quite awhile now and along with their competition shellholders I've never had a complaint. They just plain work.

    That's perfect. A copy really needs to be sent to the right people in La La Land DC.

    Just....Wow....

    I just wonder if it has interchangeable barrels so he can shoot both staples and bullets.

    Right on the money Vince, I've found that a warm up period helps considerably.

    Ruger 77/44 carbine

    Jim, the last .44 Carbine I saw at a gun show (three months ago) was going for around $800.00 I came back to the table about an hour later and it was already gone. Their hot sellers and don't last long. If I see something in the future I'll PM you.

    You have got to kidding me!!!!!!!

    Holy cow! I was perusing gunbroker this week and found a "less" than pristine model 94 Winchester in standard 30-30 caliber for $1000.00. Sorry but my 336 looks better and shoots better.

    45-70 and cast bullets?

    I had very good luck shooting the 430 grain cast bullet with IMR4198. I think you'll find that the 45-70 is easy to please with a wide variety of combinations.
