New year new rifle , right? How many members are planning on getting a new firearm or customizing a current one?
I’m hoping to have my 378 Wby back this spring. A new barrel is on order for the 458 WM and I’m on the fence on rebarreling the 224 Wby. As far as new , well you never know what may...
Today got around to shoot some of those in my S2 Vanguard. I’m using American Reloading MP-521 powder , sold as BL-C2 equivalent. This stuff has given me good ES in every cartridge I’ve tried it in. Overall I’m satisfied in the outcome on a small work up.

48grs
Today I received a holster Patrick made for my Taurus 44. With the red dot installed there wasn’t much out there. I can’t say thank you enough for his workmanship in getting what I wanted.
Questions for those who have use this.
How clean does it burn?
How is the ES?
Accuracy?
Muzzle flash?
I have a project that I’m working on with my 458WM. I’ve use a lot of Blue Dot and 5744 both of which are hard to find.
Any feedback will appreciated.
Thanks , Rick
I’ve been toying with the rebarelling of my 458 WM. My thoughts were going to a short (18”) barrel and subsonic for my narrow woods stand.
First my bullets never shipped from American Reloading , eventually fully refunded.
Then my Trail Boss powder from Sportsman Warehouse got lost , again...
I recently picked up a MBM brake off of FB Marketplace. Installed it yesterday and today took it for a spin. Vast improvement over the old brake , pistol is very controllable now. Still shoots the 115gr BT load fine , just a shift in POI.

Sportsman’s Warehouse has it available to ship your store. Price is a little ugly. For me it shows 8 available after I made a purchase.

Today I put in 7 1/2hrs changing out the clutch assembly in my boy’s Ford Fiesta. Ford has had a lot of issues with this dual clutch set up. We put the full clutch kit in even though the B-side fork only was bad. Being a salt belt car of 9 years we had quite the chore with corroded hardware...
Today ran a comparison between Fed 215 and CCI BR-2 primers in my boys 30-06 in a Rem 783. I decided to compare my Magnetospeed and Gramin. The Garmin did miss the Fed 215 at 59 grs. The MS was always showed a bit more velocity. As far as the 2 primers the Fed 215 started to show some flattening...
Second bullet I tested today was in the 340 Wby was a flop. Took 3 tries to catch the base. Ran out of jugs to test anymore bullets today. I started with a clean bore with these bullets HBN coated , no cold bore issues.
Kinda cool seeing the center undisturbed.
Did a little jug testing today with the 30-30. Took 2 attempts on this one. I was a little worried that the 30-30 would be too slow for good expansion , no issues to report. I’m happy with this load. I was set up at 30yds.
My brother has a knack in picking up old obscured rifles. This time he acquired some ammo but no rifle , thank goodness. My question is does any keen eyes know what I have here?
A little help , here it is next to a 30-30.
Looking for some feedback on this .308 bullet designed for the 300 Blackout. Wandering how they perform at supersonic speed or in a larger case.
Thanks in advance.
After 8 firings on this Winchester brass for my 375 Wby , I broke out the FL die. There was some resistance in closing the bolt so I figure what the heck FL them. Previously they were neck sized with a Lee 375 H&H collet die with adding a washer on the shell holder. There hasn’t been a need to...
After work I went and sat out in one of my new blinds. It was a chilly 80* 😁 and had 6 deer come in.
I ‘m going to throw a plug in for the TIDEWE see thru ground blind and Bog’s Deathgrip tripod. Both of these are new to me this year and one outing I’m impressed.
