Today I was testing a load in my 6x45. First round, click. Wait 30 seconds, eject. Solid hit on the primer. Figured I finally made a dud. Ejected, bullet still in the case, just a dented primer. Second round, click. Same. What the heck? Third round, click. OK, that’s it. Moved to a...

Friend of mine brought this rifle by with a problem. It feeds and extracts fine, but the extractor lets go of the case head before the case gets to the ejection port, dropping the case before it goes out. I’ve researched some and everything points to replacing the extractor and extractor...

I had the opportunity to fire one of these in 6.5 PRC today that a young man I know just purchased. My first three shots were slightly sub-MOA. I had the chrono setup working on a 6X45 load anyway so we sent a few over it out of the PRC. Factory Hornady Match 147gr ELDM averages right at 2900...

Long shot, hoping there’s a box on a shelf collecting dust that someone would part with.

I keep telling myself this is it, last one. We’ll see. I’ve had the hankering for a 6mm-223 for years. Plentiful brass, and I have a lot of bullets. So I’ve started collecting. So far the Bighorn Origin lefty action is still in process, over a month late. The good news is the McMillan...

I’m very nostalgic. Today I was perusing Gunbroker while my wife is watching NASCAR. Yes, I already took a nap. Anyway, I found some very old stock 85gr Sierra spitzer bullets, not boat tail. These things should really work out of my 6X45 that I haven’t gotten yet. Best part….$12 per box...

So my 14 year old son is having difficulty with his bolt action. It’s not a mechanical issue, he just doesn’t get it yet. We will continue to practice, however he is rather rigid and prefers the lever. I was thinking about a BLR in 7-08, I see they make a 20” barreled stainless. Expensive...

6gr HS-6 powder. Supposedly penetrate 30” plus. Not sure, right now they are fairly inexpensive at Midway. Plus they look good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Handled a G48 at the Sportsman’s on my annual trip to the big village. I’ve been wanting a Commander size 9mm but they are scarce and anything quality is crazy expensive. Since I gave my XD9 to my son, need something to feed the ammo to. So, instead of paying sales tax to a city I do not live...

Here I am being that guy that should buy Quickload instead of pestering others. One of my pet peeves and here I go doing it. I would buy it, I don’t have a PC to run it on. I am wondering if someone could run a .348 Winchester with 150gr bullet H322 and/or H335? I want to sub that data...

Hope it’s not too soon but I just can’t contain myself. Been looking for a real nice 71 for a LONG time. As of tonight I have a deal! I’ll put up pics when it’s in hand! Oh boy oh boy[emoji1]

I was extremely fortunate and the stars aligned and ended up with several boxes of NOS Winchester brass for my H&H. The gent who I got it from was helping with an estate and bent over backwards to get it to me. There truly are so many good people left in this world. I was wondering if...

Anybody have one? What does the case look like after?

Shooters Pro Shop has overrun brass at a decent price. In stock as of this morning.

I’ve been going to scratch this itch for awhile. It’s finally time. Been talking with Manson about a reamer and I think we have come up with a better mousetrap. Current SAAMI: Modified for seating 210gr Nosler Partition at 2.845-ish OAL and a throat designed in this century: Really...

Looks like the fishing section doesn’t get much action. Here’s a fresh one:

Getting close to sealing the deal on a lefty in .308. Any reason not to do it? I can barely abide them aesthetically but by all accounts they really shoot. Yes, I don’t need it but...[emoji1]

I’ve been after the rifles pretty hard the last few years and frankly it’s starting to get a little stuffy. I’ve been lusting after a new 45LC/ACP convertible Blackhawk (sorry, resident clergymen[emoji1]), but I ended up finding a used one. Not exactly what I wanted, little longer barrel, but...

I recently picked up a box of .300 H&H factory Nosler loads with 180gr Accubond. They fit my stub gauge with about .003 headspace off the shoulder which is much closer than the new Winchester brass I have. They should be deadly accurate, I’m gonna shoot 3 and save the rest for a rainy day...

Looking for a scattergun for my 12y/o son with a birthday coming up. I haven’t fired shotguns in 30 years. I think I want to find him a youth sized semi auto 20 gauge that will cycle 7/8 loads for recoil control. We can single load until we figure out it’s not for area suppression fire so I’m...
