After a few trips with the Lab radar I have to say it has potential. There is a learning curve with it so I'd recommend taking some blow away ammo to use while setting it up and getting all the settings right so it tracks your projectile. I'd recommend getting a battery pack to help power the...

A few years ago, a forum I was (and still am) a member of was sold to a Canadian company who is reportedly anti-firearm. There was some growing pains I remember as they filtered and ***** words they found offensive- like “gun” and “firearm”. I stopped posting there and until recently stopped...

Magpul rem 700 stock for the .223 (might be swapped with the .308...) And mod 70 shadow 7mm rem mag: I tried doing the magazines and quickly realized I better have a pro do it. Colorado Custom look in Denver did them up for me- great people!

Wondering out loud, and someday I may test it though I think the variables of this thought has been tested independently in one way or another. Conventional wisdom is once fired brass (same rifle) needs a minor bump in powder to achieve the same, or better accuracy. Something like the energy...

Shooting at orange dots and diamonds has been fun, things are shooting nice so time to take it further... Found some prairie dog targets online and made some copies. It reminded me of the varmageddon commercial so I looked to see if Nosler also had a downloadable prairie dog targets. Didn't...

My winter projects arrived today- Boyd's walnut stock for the .260 Rem and a laminate in coyote for the 22-250 T/C. The walnut is pretty bland and monotone except for the comb area where there is some figure hiding under the satin finish. It's being stripped so I can pop the figure...

I just picked up my .308 SPS Varmint 26" barrel and get the distance to lands measured. I am planning on reducing the barrel length to 22" so I can put an AAC muzzle brake on it and use my 7.62 silencer. The land distance is 2.355 (2.980 OAL). I am getting a magpul stock and bottom metal for...

Had some fun over this thanksgiving break. We braved the snow and 10* weather and went out to shoot some clays. This was the 2nd time I've gotten to shoot the Sphinx SDP Compact. If it wasn't for the cold, I'd gone through at least 200 rounds. Wish I had pics to share, but all I can say is...

Just wanted to share two recipes that I found and will be making again. I like cooking with alcohol. Bourbon marinaded antelope backstraps, amber ale shrimp, bbq sauce, tequila lime chicken enchiladas, port glaze, crushed red pepper vodka sauce- It just brings a richness to the dish. This...

As I was seating the 26gr grenades, i wanted to hear if the powder could move inside the case. I picked it up and shook it and I heard a very loud rattle come from the case. Louder than powder should be. I wondered if I missed some stainless steel media pins, so I pulled the bullet off and...

I'm diggin this little spotting scope. Only thing I don't like about it is the short eye relief at 33x. But the eye piece has some rubber around it so you don't get too close and hit your eye. I hooked it up to my Iphone with the phone skope and took some pics of the moon. Also took some...

I was bored today and decided to discover the commonality of each "most accurate" load from Nosler's Load data. Made up this excel spread sheet to calculate the RPM, Miller Stability and suggested Barrel Twist in one place. All you have to do is enter the bullets measurements and chrono data...

What dehydrators are people using for making jerky? Any recommendations? I plan on doing small batches (3-5 pounds) of elk meat at a time. Local meat processor is closing their doors. Jerky recipes are welcome too! :) Thank you in advance!

I decided to work up some varmint loads for the 25-06 now that I have the hunting load figured out. I had a few boxes of the 100gr B-Tips sitting on the shelf and went into Nosler to check on the tested powders and saw a listing of bullets on the right side. Under Ballistic Tip Hunting, it...

My Mod 70 is fouler. It takes 5-6 shots to get back to being under moa and then I have about 8-10 shots before it starts opening up again. I am the rifles third owner, and I suspect there is under 150 rounds through it. The first owner only shot two boxes through it. My bother shot the other...

Just wanted to share my work-up results for the 60gr Partition in a 1:12 twist T/C Venture. I've read in a lot of places that the partition isn't known for the tight groups and it really shines in hunting. I plan on using this mainly on Predators, P. Dogs, and maybe back up to my 25-06 for...

I'm a fairly intermediate level user/ understander of QuickLoad and wanted to ask those who have used it and have learned its intricacies for any tips on getting more accurate estimations. I've measured all my components and tweaked the case capacity, case length, etc. Is there any input for...

This... I love this. 10 shot group @ 100 yards from a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in .223 I've had this rifle for only a few months and it already has vaccinated 36 P dogs from 200-325 yards. The report from this bullet hitting a p dog is a nice THWUACK! 28gr of H335 @ 3700 fps.
