I’ve had Leupold on my hunting rifles since the 1960s. I’ve sent many back for service and early on, it was first class. Then their willingness to repair took longer and replacement became an iterative process. It was no longer worth my time to prove to them that their scopes would not adjust or...

Nah…he knows what side to be on.

Have these material cost increases trickled down to brass yet?

Is this a BR or F-Open platform?

If I read your test correctly, you are comparing one data point at each load. I would think that a sampling average of 5 shots at each charge weight would be a minimum statistical sampling to arrive at a conclusion.

I’m driving a 2024 F-350 6.7 diesel. We have several trailers included a 16K 6-horse head to head gooseneck. I traded a 2022 F-350 for this one. Those trucks get 18.5 mpg everyday driving and 21.5+ on the interstate with the cruise set at 70 mph. Towing is dependant on the trailer weight. The...

You don’t “need” a bolt release for a Remington. It’s a nice convenience but you can depress the bolts stop with a small screwdriver to get the bolt out..

I just had my one year check up with my Ophthalmologist two weeks ago. Had them both done, one at a time, one month apart. Went for the single vision distance option. I am thoroughly pleased. I went for a set of progressive lenses glasses, which work out well for me. I do seem to be more...

Good to see. Women, girls and mothers, are the future of our sport.

I was Staff Instructor at the US Navy D1G Nuclear Power Prototype at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Saratoga Springs, NY. I was probably standing watch and giving some student a system checkout. I was just glad that (1) I dodged going to Vietnam Nam (2) I was not at sea on the Enterprise or...

Based on what I have owned, shot and hunted with, it’s got to be the 280 REM and now the 280 AI. I’m a 7mm advocate having had a couple 7 mm RM’s and several 280’s, the 280 AI would be my long action choice.

I too was a farm kid. So harvesting animals was just a matter of course. I used to save 2 weeks vacation and hunt the entire PA Buck Season. Early on, I stopped shooting does as I am not a big fan of venison. For me, it’s about the hunt. Once a deer is down, the hunt is over. The perfect deer...

I’ve always thought that a 22” barrel in a medium action 308 [Sako L-579/AII] was optimum. Ballistically a sweet spot and the rifle overall length allowed me to carry muzzle down through the timber without dragging in the snow at my paltry height.

Acronyms are confusing. My title introduced an element of interpretation, so I edited it. I do believe that the original solid base lead tipped bullets were not flat base but had a tapered [boat tail] base. But that’s was more than 50 years ago so my recollection may be faulty at this point. I...

OK…I screwed up this post. There problem that I had was with an early BALLISTIC TIP, not the lead tipped Solid Base Boat Tail. The acronyms are confusing. I preferred the NON-Ballistic Tip Solid Boat Tail. The lead tip was more reliable for me.

I see that the SBBT without the ballistic tip is back but only in the Whitetail line of loaded ammo. I shot these back in the day long before the ballistic tip became the thing. They’re were cheap accurate and performed very well on deer. I was forced to the BT’s when they replaced the SBBT’s in...

I would use the one that is fastest pointing in hand. Low brass 7-1/2 or 8 lead shot is great. The 28 would be my choice for quail. Yes, pen raised birds do not compare to wild birds. Pen raised pheasants are like the Goodyear blimp when compared to wild reared birds. We trained dogs over pen...

Although Nebraska is a very Red State, their permitting requirements are much the same. Classroom is only a day, but you have to shoot and demonstrate proficiency. I went through it in Sidney, NE. Even with this requirement, CCP reciprocity is not as broad as other less restrictive states. I...

Prefer Sporting Clays and 5-Stand. Shot trap in a league for a season with Benelli Cordoba.
