Taxidermist called to come pick up my bull nilgai mount, just hung it up.

My gun safe is getting crowded and was brain storming on how to get more space since I'm getting a new rifle built, should be less than a month out. I removed all the rifles, removed all the bolts, and labeled individual ziplock sandwich bags and labeled them for each rifle. Placed the bolts in...

I use Kano Kroil to clean my brass after every anneal before sizing, I slightly wet a small rag with Kano Kroil, chuck the brass in a drill and spin clean it instead of tumbling brass. I ran out of Kano Kroil, so I ordered a new can and its not the same Kroil. The smell and feel is completely...

Just landed 1000 bullets of 6mm 103 Daggers from Bart's to try in the 6 BR and the new 6 BRA when it comes in. Just for 600 yard F Class. Had a few emails between myself and Bart, concerning freebores and types of bullets he makes, his recommendation is to try the Daggers. I currently use the...

It's been so many years since I last used Federal Gold Medal Match primers, I could remember seeing purple dye on the anvil on those primers. I have always used that brand until they were hard to obtain years ago. I just started using the new Federal GM primers again, the boxes are different...

Been shooting 140 Berger Hybrids in the 6.5 Creed for a few years already, just tired of the same bullet shooting bugholes and wanted to shoot hunting bullets for a change. I still have 8 lbs of that IMR 4451 that I bought several years ago as an alternative to H4350 which I could not find. I...

A package came from Fed Ex, it was no usual cardboard package, tapped on it and it was solid wooden crate, after opening it, packaged in foam was my new blue NEO-X I had ordered early last summer for F Class Open. It was sent to me by xphunter aka Ernie Bishop. Thank you Ernie!!! It's...

Hung out with my brother in law at the range yesterday to put in some pistol shooting on the loads I made for the .38 Super and .45 with the Holosuns. Winds were brisk and variable right to left and cloudy. Was a nice day out. At 50 yards, off the bench , top left of the bullseye was one of...

I use Redding full length non bushing and bushing dies along with competition seating dies on a Redding Boss press. I use the trusty Hornady lock rings to secure my dies. I have no issues with accuracy with my rifles, but I have seen some runout of .003" after using the bushing sizing die which...

Wanted to try a new tune for the .308 GAP with 26 inch barrel, I'm bored and currently have 30 rounds on hand with 178 ELD-M and Varget which was made a year ago. Speed last recorded at 2730 fps / 43.7 gr. Varget which is decent. I have a new box of 165 Accubonds and 4 boxes of the 180...

Just got the .45 Kimber in from my smith who installed a new Holosun 507 Comp reticle system, this is my 2nd Holosun, the previous one was on my .38 Super. Tuned some loads for the .45 using #AA7 with 4 round increments from 11.4, 11.6, 11.8, 12.0 and 12.2, using Starline P+ brass, and 185 grain...

I grabbed a deal at Midsouth for 5,000 BR4 small rifle primers and 5,000 BR2 large rifle primers plus a brick of Gold Medal match 205M with free shipping and hazmat. Grab the deal while it lasts. $249.99 bucks per 5,000 primers. Used to be $799 bucks per 5,000, should be enough for me in the...

After fireforming 225 pieces of 2X fired brass from the old BR barrel into the current ( 350 rounds in ) barrel with 105 VLD and 105 Hornady Match. The VLD's shot very well at the the match last month while fireforming brass. The Hornady Match did not perform like I wanted for some reason...

I want to trade in my crew cab 09 Silverado HD2500 since I don't haul RV's or trailers anymore. I just pull a 20 foot boat to go fish. Wondering which truck I should look into? The HD2500's heavy and are hard on bumps compared to the 1500's. I just like diesel engines due to torque and power...

Where could I buy a new extractor for a short action Impact Precision HBK right hand?

Isn't this pretty cool? Should make case trimming easier and quicker. https://www.hornady.com/reloading/case-care/case-prep-tools/high-speed-case-trimmer

Most of my reloading manuals are outdated, and instead of buying manuals from different companies, would there be a "universal" reloading manual? I know different bullet brands have their own testings to powder charges and pressures due to the design of their own bullets, or is it more safer to...

Missed those days when I used to use a RCBS powder throw, sticking brass under that thing and drop charges. I got rid of that powder throw ages ago when I stopped shooting pistol and have been using the ChargeMaster and the FX120i to fine tune rifle loads. Doing a tune to see velocity and...

Good ol days when it was cheaper. Had those in my stash for the .38 Super and .45 Sad that the 41 Magnum S&W Classic Hunter SS is gone, loved that pistol.

I have my .38 Super block set up on my Dillon 550B, I checked the dies and had them cleaned out. The crimp die has T. CR stamped on it, so its a taper crimp. The crimp die had little powdered brass flakes stuck in there from crimping the case mouths. I think little crimp is needed just to...
