Howie, if you've never tried it, you should try a stone like you'd condition glass or crystal. They are great to condition ceramic surfaced pot calls with.
Your call looks fantastic
This rod is still for sale. This package will make a great outfit for someone to use this coming spring on everything from panfish and trout to light bass
My local store just got a shipment of RL 22 in yesterday. They were pricing each 1 pound bottle at $71 and change.
A store less than 2 miles away has two (2) one pound bottles of RL 16 and they want $99.98 per pound. I about passed out when I saw that.
When I burn up my Alliant powder...
HAWK,
I can attest to the JES rebore. I bought a nice 700ADL 30-06 and sent just the barreled action with bolt by FedEx to JES and per his instructions included a postal money order and a short note with what I wanted it to be rebored to inside the box. I opted for a 338-06 due to bullet...
Preacher,
I have a Rem 700 ADL that I sent to JES and had him rebore to a 338-06. I've found really good accuracy in mine with H380 with the 200gr Speer, 210 partition, and the 215 Sierra GK. I also have had great accuracy with the 210 partition loaded over 61gr of H4350. IMR 4064, VARGET...
I recently came across an old red/black box of the old Nosler Solid Base 7mm 120sp. Just on a whim, I loaded some with the same powder charge as my favorite load with 120gr BT and VARGET. I was impressed as the SB shot almost the same groups as the BT.
I decided to try the SB with some...
Does it even matter ? They can't even keep up with their current line up anyways. Even if they could Nosler is extremely proud of their bullets charging the same price for 50 of their bullets that other makers charge for 100 bullets
Went out this morning with the purpose of looking for a buck. Turkey season is open for either sex birds in selected WV counties, one of which being the county where I had permission to hunt at. Everything was super quiet having only seen a squirrel up until about 10am. Out of the blue, I...
I've used BigGame in a 6.5 creedmoor, 7x57, and 8x57 and it's performed great with the bullets I've tried it with.
I've used Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor, 7x57, and 280AckImp. It too has been great, but lately it's been nonexistent as far as finding any.
I quit using it as well. My reasons were strictly due to the fact that loading/ shooting HBN coated bullets simply did nothing in regards to cutting down on copper fouling in the barrels of my rifles. The reason I started coating bullets was the alleged reduction in copper fouling and while it...
Lapua, Peterson, Alpha arent likely to make 270wsm brass, but your right, those 3 companies no doubt put out some of the best brass available.
Nosler used to have Norma make their brass, however when Nosler bought out the Silver State Armory (SSA) they started manufacturing their own. This is...
If you have any H4831sc give that a try with the 143gr ELD-x. Its a great replacement for the RL-26 in the creedmoor case yielding great velocity and accuracy.
I bought a Mossberg 6.5 Creedmoor back in 2018. I began load development with the 120gr Nos BT and tried both H4350 and IMR 4451. Accuracy with both was close to equal. According to my notes, I tried 42.5gr to 44.5gr. 44.5gr charge was where I found best accuracy with .546" 3 shot group @...
Peterson is known for being thicker and in the end more robust brass. Often times the same load you have previously used in other brands of brass will exhibit too much pressure for the Peterson brass. Its also worth mentioning that the accuracy and general loading / shooting will improve after...
