I have been real busy, but was able to fire off 230 rounds of loaded virgin Alpha brass for my 6 Dasher to be fireformed for my upcoming 600 yard matches but there is an issue that I have been wrangling with. It will be quite a lengthy story, but I'll do my best. The Dasher is a .275 no turn. I...

I have two Kimbers that I like to check for spring poundage? I may have swapped different poundage springs 15 odd years ago, and i havent been using the Kimbers at all. It's been in the case ever since and I want to determine what poundage the springs are? How do I verify this?

Just a thought that came across, do any of you guys wear latex gloves while reloading? We have been seeing warning labels on ammo accessories like lead and chemicals, etc. I never wore gloves while reloading, but always wash my hands thoroughly after handling and reloading ammo. My wife has a...

Plucked some Paisano tomatoes, its similar to San Marzano, from the 13 plants I have in the backyard. The first batch was in small clusters on the lower stems, and that was picked last week after ripening on the vine. I had placed clusters of tomatoes in mesh bags while ripening on the vine to...

At our age, our eyesight is declining to focus clearly like when we all were young. I had a severe eye infection on my right eye when I used a pressure washer to clean my boat about 20 years ago, there was a stubborn dried up shrimp head on the deck and the high pressure ( 3600 psi ) blew it...

Just bored, should I do a test with some 180 TTSX Barnes in my 300 Mag, if so, what powders should I try,,,,RL22, H1000 or some RL 25 or,,, try some 130 Accubonds or 140 Ballistic Tips in the 6.5 Creedmoor with some H4350,,,,

@JD338 Looks like scam links, he posted several other links as well

Today I have dumped Evinrude, and opted for Suzuki for saltwater fishing. I have been using Evinrude and Johnsons since 1994, and Mercruiser inboard on a Cobia before that. I am a die hard Evinrude fan until today. I have had a 175 ETEC on my bay boat since 2015 and had issues after issues. Many...

180 Accubonds out of a 300 Win Mag, muzzle velocity @ 3,125 fps, left bullet at 200 yards center in lower neck and deep in the chest to the right shoulder, and the right bullet at 30 feet center in the neck. Last two pictures was the first shot which entered in the lower neck and stopped on the...

Took the 6 Dasher out for the first time, and let me tell the history of this barrel. The new 30 inch Bartlein barrel was on the existing 6 BR / Rem 700, the old 26 inch barrel was used in 600 yard matches and did very well until it was toasted. A gunsmith chambered a new barrel for the BR on...

Picked up my 6 Dasher the other day, Impact Precision single shot custom action, 30 inch Bartlein barrel 7.8 twist 1.250" tapered to 1.150", Jewel trigger set to 4 ounce trigger break, pillar bedded, McMillian A5 stock from my prior 6 BR topped with an ATACR 7-35 x 56mm. I had a Rem 700 and a 26...

I had finished shooting all 35 rounds of the 140 Hybrids in the 6.5 Creed on the last few range trips since last year. I was shooting them on 10" steel from 700 to 850 yards. I did not shoot as much as I used to. I had 4 charges in addition to test that I made last year in the fall season, but...

Deer season ended this past Sunday, but the last two weeks is open for does and spikes.. A friend invited me to hunt on his 17,000 acre ranch. Set out to meet the ranch hand at his ranch gate at 6:15 am. I brought my trusty 6.5 x 284 loaded with 143 ELD-X pushed by H4831sc. The rifle never...

Just pulled a frozen slab of nilgai ribs and unwrapped, letting it thaw out to prep to smoke it in the Traeger. I'm wondering if the membrane is tough to pull off which is easy on babyback ribs. Have anyone done nilgai ribs, if so, would you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Had a chat with a friend and he advised me that he spoke to another friend of his who has a MLD ranch who wants to thin the whitetail doe herd, mentioned that it could be next week to harvest a couple of does. I figured that I get the 6.5 x 284 out of the safe this morning and check for sight in...

Woke at 3 am, got all my gear ready and loaded in the truck plus 3 ice chests loaded up with ice. Filled up the truck and grabbed two burritos for the road with some coffee. Hooked up with the guide at the gate at 6 am and was warmly greeted at camp by the owner and another guest. Settled all...

I never tried Reloader 16 or 23 powders except the 26. How have the RL 16 powders worked for you in speed and accuracy? Just noticed that there are RL 16 online.

Took the 300 Win Mag out today, I loaded just 3 rounds after changing seat depth another .020" deeper, total depth is .040". Using 200 Accubonds and H4831 with 2X fired Norma brass. A few days ago, first shot was at 12 o clock high about 1 inch, then 2nd and remaining rounds shot right and low...

I had two 1 pound canisters of H4831, one was a quarter full so I switched to the new pounder, and worked up 3 round groups from 74-76 in .4 increments. The new lot is faster by 35 fps and velocities is as shown. Recent test with the old powder at 74 grains was 2914 fps. Seat depth is .020" off...

I'm getting heavy powder crunch with my 300 win Mag / H1000 / 200 Accubonds. I have a pound and a half of the long version H4831 that I like to use instead of H1000. Heavy powder ( 78 grains ) crunch keeps me from getting the consistent seating depth that I want, it keeps giving me erratic...
