Sounds like a great day out. Getting both pistols confirmed to 1000 yards in the last bit of daylight, while also fireforming brass for the Black Widow ahead of WY-SHOT, was a smart use of limited time. The trigger transition issue between the Nosler's two-stage and Dan's XP-100 makes sense too...

Speer switched to small primer 45 ACP brass around 2018 to 2020 for stronger case heads and reduced primer blowback risk, which is why law enforcement brass has them. They are perfectly good brass, actually slightly stronger than large primer cases. You just need small pistol primers and should...

Hey everyone, I recently started exploring indoor shooting simulators as a way to improve my accuracy and technique without visiting the range every day. I have heard these systems can replicate real firearm handling, recoil, and various shooting scenarios quite effectively. However, I am...

Sounds like you had a great time! Hitting targets out to 700–1200 yards in challenging wind with specialty pistols is impressive, and it’s fun that both of you got first-shot hits on the painted target. Glad to hear all the guns performed well and that your follow-up session had better...

For areas with no cell coverage, you should use non-cellular trail cameras that store footage directly to SD cards. Good options include Bushnell Core DS-4K No Glow, Reconyx Hyperfire 2, Tactacam Reveal, and GardePro T5CF. Look for models with long battery life, weather resistance, and large SD...

Use only published load data from reputable sources (Ramshot/Hodgdon, Hornady, Lyman, etc.). Have your 1903/1917/M1 checked for proper headspace and overall condition first. If you find Ramshot Hunter data for 30‑06 with a 150‑gr FMJ, start at the published starting charge and work up slowly...

VPA lands are private properties open to public hunting, so you don’t need to contact the owner. The key is to respect boundaries, avoid damaging property, pack out trash, and follow all safety rules. OnX Hunt is generally reliable, but double-check boundaries in the field. Exploring the...

The Hoffman Thins Pro Series Claw Lug 14" PAC boots are high quality, durable, warm, comfortable, and provide excellent traction and support. They are highly recommended for hunting.

Thanks for sharing! The app sounds really useful for keeping reloading notes organized and safe. I like that it lets you track recipes, load development, ladder test graphs, and shots fired. I’ll check it out and let you know if I notice anything missing or broken.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a shooting simulator that provides a highly realistic experience. Ideally, it should simulate various firearms, allow for adjustable scenarios, and offer accurate feedback on accuracy and reaction time. I’m particularly interested in something...

That’s a smart setup using tapered 2x4s in the cup holders keeps the gun rack secure removable and avoids drilling into your Ranger. Painting it will finish it off nicely and protect the wood.

That sounds amazing! You’ve got everything lined up perfectly, and the anticipation must be incredible. Enjoy the flight, the barge ride with your Jeep, and the new adventure waiting for you in Alaska. Safe travels and have an unforgettable experience!

The UDAP Electric Bear Fence from Cabela’s is a popular, lightweight, and portable option for keeping bears out of campsites or food areas. Users report it works well when properly set up, providing peace of mind, but its effectiveness depends on correct installation and maintenance. It’s...

Focus on layered clothing: moisture-wicking base layers, fleece or down insulation, waterproof outer layers, insulated boots, wool socks, warm hats, gloves, and scarves. Bring a good backpack, headlamp, and water bottle. Snowshoes or crampons may be useful in winter. Buying in the lower 48 gives...

Nosler has not gone out of business, but their products, including the 168gr ballistic tips in .308, can be hard to find right now due to high demand and supply issues. It's worth checking multiple retailers or online sources, as stock can vary.
