Wild man… I dread that. Praying for a speedy recovery and someone drops a big pile of venison at your door step!

Thanks Jim. Probably out Tuesday and Friday this week in Manistee area. Not much going on my 40. Still working on improving the cover and food plots. Will add a watering station next spring. Looks like it’s holding a half dozen does.. a couple nice bucks have been my looking for them.. a...

First, thank you to all you enablers and teachers of this reloading craft. I’m getting better at quickly getting to great loads… This is not my rifle, but given its performance with a minimal investment in a savage with a kit scope…Michigan has a line which I’m a couple miles north off, us...

thanks guys. Was just wondering this very question. Chargermaster vs Gen 6. Natchez has the Gen6 for a hit over 200 today… maybe an early present. Like Truck Driver, I’ve been dipping, then trickling then verifying on a beam scale…

Congratulations! I see I’m catching up! Hopefully mom and baby are resting through the night!

Should have mentioned online code…

This might help someone looking for a discount on the Garmin Xero. Code in the image. This happens monthly and it stacked with their fall sale in September.

They had some Monies left over from Ian and threw themselves a Pizza Pity Party. Lots of smiles and laughs. If I had to guess on head count, probably 30+ people, but not 40. Three had Alzheimer’s (easy to see them from those without). The thing about trailer parks is like churches. It’s...

Bass pro club day is today. 10% off at checkout. Code is 24CLUB107 (Good only on 10-7-2024

We left Monday 9/30 at 4pm and arrived there on Tuesday about 3pm. Drove through. His place had 6” of surge inside the whole place. AC was down, so tasked FIL with figuring out the AC and went to work on removing drywall, insulation, molding, cutting out cabinets And flooring. We got AC...

Heading to Florida with FIL (87) on Tuesday. They had had undetermined amount of surge water in their trailer. It was basically flushed in 2022 with rain water after Ian’s wind lifted the roof and 20” of rain fell in the area… this time, ocean surge got the park. We’ve heard 6-18” depending on...

My first 45/70 hand load was the Hornady 325FTX and it shoots reasonably good and has enough for deer or black bear. But being a little bit of an old school guy, the plain 300 HP is right up my alley. I was looking for recipes on the 300 and a bit frustrated as the recipes were all over the...

Duh moment. 350 legend is Small Rifle. Used Fed gold match on that ladder. Also have from REM 7.5 match to try… and some plain federal in small.

So finally got the Garmin on the range. Testing 45/70Govt with H4198/wLR/Hornady HP 300 grains. Starline brass Recipes were driving me crazy with a huge range. Decided to use H4198 55.0 for starting load. Hodgdon data shows 55.0 @2,221 fps 27,600cup Max load 60.0 2424 gps and 40,000cup Here’s...

Thank you Dr Mike! I see what you say about not fussy… they are all flying fast! Will post results. Expect it might be two weeks maybe three. FIL on bear hunt and granddaughter in S Carolina having a birthday… so I could be going to the UP to help drag a bear or heading to SC for cake and...

Thanks Phil! Many of the rounds passed to me were H4831, mostly 59 and 58.0. Scared me a little as didn’t seem to matter what bullets he used.. loads were always the same… I shot some and ran them over my magneto speed. V was good 2950-3050, but groups were loose…the Nosler manual had the...

Would expect nothing but love on that SGK on game. Good speed and very effective bullet.

Looking for the quickload report that show powders ranked by projected muzzle Velocity. 22” barrel, Starline Brass, Nosler ballistic tip 130gn. Primers I have them all. I do have a good Barnes TTSX load that works with RL17, but unsure if that’s any indication of good performance of a cup...

I use the RCBS M1000 to check my electronic weights. Using the Franklin. Mine has been stabile for years, but just this week it got whacky with floating by some measurements… so I’m replacing it. Wife asked today and I think I’m getting a charge master for Christmas. I have had not RCBS and...

The ones I used at Cabela’s on 9/19 are all expired. I see Cabela’s.com has a price match guarantee. They will beat lowest price by 5% off lowest qualifying web site or retailer. I’ve never done that, but have to think Amazon is a competitor and they are typically in 584 range.. so if you...
