My 7 STW is giving me fits. Bolt is hard to close on sized cases. I thought die had become mis-adjusted some how so I reset it like I always have. Ran press ram with shell holder all the way to top of stroke. Screwed die into press until die body touched shell holder. Gave it another 1/8 turn...

Anybody tried it with the 115 Nosler bullets ? Looks like lightning in a brass case from what I'm seeing. Ace hunting buddy just bought a Marlin XL7 in the quarter bore that we!re about to start playing with.

If only they could talk. Left to Right 1942 Springfield service grade. Rebarrelled in 1955. 1942 Springfield CMP Special, has a new Criterion barrel the rest a mix of GI issue parts. 1943 Springfield service grade. Rebarrelled in 1946. I found out this rifle was rebarreled by USMC after the...

Having lost our lease in Mo at the end of the 2014 season we had to find another one. Ended up on a new property that's about 15 miles SE of original lease. Most of it is cultivated ground, corn and soybeans with a few patches of timber and a small creek bottom on the SW side. I set my bow...

Awright, here's the deal. I do not wear glasses for distance correction but I have to have reading glasses to see up close. Cheapos from the dollar store and 1.25 correction factor. Creedmore and I made a scope trade and I ended up with a 4-14x50 Leupy that has a B&C reticle in it. Last...

Where are they ? Can't find anybody that has them in stock . Deer season's only 6 months away and I've got load development to do :mrgreen: Seems my 7STW really likes them.

Fire forming brass for a new to me 280AI yesterday. Three shots, 200 yards. Then I got the bright idea that since I was just fire forming cases I'd make it a 5 shot group. Dang trigger monkey showed up again. Load was RP brass Fed 210 Primer 51.0 grs H380 140 SGK BTSP MV was 2875 average...

Wanted a Springfield M1A or some variant of an M14 since I shot one in the Army 35 years ago. Stumbled on one I couldn't pass up. Jan 2012 production M1A Loaded model. Nat'l Match sights, barrel and trigger group from the factory. Pretty figure in the stock too. Fella I got it from said he shot...

Rifle season in Oklahoma was short but sweet. The season opener was last Saturday the 21st. The forecast of steady 20 mph winds with gusts to 30 had me less than enthusiastic about getting out of bed at 3 AM to drive up but as my ace compadre pointed out, " you can't shoot deer lying in bed and...

Been waiting since October 1st for the weather and my work schedule to synch up. Can only hunt weekends and for some reason since the season opened in Ok on Oct 1 every weekend we've had N or NE winds. That just won't work with where I set up my bow stand. FINALLY got a break and yesterday AM...

Prior to this I had taken one doe with a bow and that was 22 years ago. Had quit bow hunting until I got bit by the bug again last year. I passed a couple of bucks on my lease in Mo last year because they just weren't quite shooters. Well last Friday Creedmore invited me to tag along to his...

358 Norma Mag 200 gr Barnes TSX Thanks in advance. Howard

The Garand is a good shooter. Got to the range yesterday with Creedmore in tow. Did the barrel break in while I was getting the rifle sighted POA at 100 yards. Creed starts giggling looking at my target through his scope. Seems to like 168 Custom Comps on top of 46.8 grs of BLC2 3 shots off...

Ordered it from CMP on 5/14. Got it yesterday via FedEx straight to my office. Springfield Armory receiver, new Criterion barrel. Guess I better get some 06 ammo loaded this week :mrgreen: Oh and Creedmore didn't have anything to with this.

And now has a place on the wall. May be the last Mo deer for a bit, we lost our lease :oops: Landowner had no problem with us just decided it would be more productive to turn all the CRP ground back into crop production.

Seriously . I just found a box on the back corner of it with six 1 pound bottles of Benchmark in it. I think I bought them back in October but bow season was in full swing then and I had deer on the brain . That reminds me, I bought a lottery ticket last night. Better go check it. :lol:

Recently bought a Dillon 650 to load 223 ammo to feed my ARs. Have been using Benchmark and it meters beautifully through the Dillon powder measure. Supplier is out of Benchmark and I'm down to a couple of pounds. Currently they have H335 , AR Comp and MR2000 in stock. Anyone have any...

Need some advice gents. In the market for a lightweight to use that will have to be carried quite a ways along w a climbing stand. Already know it's going to be a 308 as I have tons of brass and bullets on hand. Strictly a woods rifle, shots no further than 200 yards, most considerably shorter...

Monday Nov 17th 12 degrees that morning and it started off slow. Had seen one or two does early at about 425 yards and that was it. My buddy Mark was in the stand with me that morning. About 9 AM he looks at me and says "there is a doe right here " Sure enough, 40 yards in front of the blind...

Resident Canada goose season in Ok opened 9/13 We'd scouted this field the weekend before and found a few birds. 99 degrees Friday the 12th and 52 with 15 mph N winds at daylight on the 13th. That blast of cool air felt GREAT after a typical Texas summer. Anyhow, the first group of birds into...
