Based on your criteria, Sordins are hard to beat. They have many great options. Their web page is most informative.

Weighted lead sleds are responsible for cracking the wrist of more than a few fine rifle stocks. Today, the market is flooded with strong laminate stocks and/or synthetic stocks which can tolerate a lot more abuse. I rarely see anyone use one at our club anymore, but I guess they still have...

When all else fails, use JB or Flitz on a tight patch short-stroked in the problem area. It is the ONLY thing that I have found to remove stubborn carbon. Copper removal is easy compared to baked on carbon.

Guns recoil differently, and often print differently, when using a weighted lead sled rather than shouldering a rifle without one. I'd confirm POI without the sled once you are done testing ammo. Good luck.

I've had a similar problem with some older Accubonds. Nosler said that they were probably sitting on a shelf somewhere for years. It looked like acid had attacked the bullets below the tips. Several tips broke/fell off. Nosler did not want the old bullets back but sent new ones out. Just for the...

Before retirement, I had a LARGE office with 10' ceilings. I displayed a large bull moose, a buffalo, a red stag, two bears and a few whitetails there. After retiring, I had very limited space in my home for the mounts. I gave the buffalo away to a coworker, put the big moose head in the garage...

I've accidently dumped a box of test ammo too. I tried weighing the ammo to determine which was which. It didn't work. You have two options: 1. pull the bullets, resize the neck/cases and start over 2. use the ammo for barrel fouling and just start your testing sequence with other brass. I...

Testing at increments of .001" is much too small. Start by testing in increments of .015" and see if groups open or shrink. If groups shrink, then test in .005" increments on both sides of your previous good seating depth.

My wife makes a fantastic wild boar roast and moose roasts. Not much better that I've taken.

I had the same problem with 6.5PRC Lapua brass. Donuts formed quickly. I use Redding Type S FL bushing dies. I used a .2625 mandrel after sizing, which may have helped, but it did not resolve the problem. The easiest solution is to just shoot bullets that don't interfere with the donut.

It may burn up your excess time but it sure isn't worth the time or effort. 9mm bulk ammo is so cheap that I can't load it for the same price. I can just barely save a buck on 40 S&W reloads.

Who's got one? How do you like it? How does it group? Cartridge?

I've got plenty of unloved powder and bullets too. I "try" to use as much of it for fouling ammo as I can, but I'll never consume it all that way. I have given some bullets and 1/2 cans of powder to the guys at the club. They are always happy to get free components.

I've loaded the 124 HH bullets in my 6.5PRC. Speeds exceeding 3,200fps in a 24" barrel where no problem. Accuracy was exceptional. Due to the cost, I've gone back to the Bergers. The Bergers shoot just as well and even better at distance. They kill just as quick as the Hammers IME.

LEOSA isn't as straight forward as it should be. Magazine limits should be waived for those who are qualified under LEOSA but my understanding is that they are not. My service HK magazines hold 13 rounds of 40 S&W. Carrying LEO (hi-cap) magazines can run you afoul of state laws depending on...

Wishing you a safe trip and a great hunt. Just my opinion but you may want to leave at least a day earlier. Driving around the clock is torture and can be dangerous. My buddies and I have done some long hauls with 4 guys alternating the driving. Even when you aren't driving, you aren't getting...

The sales tax on my Garmin was more than that. LOL Good deal you got there. (y)(y)

At a local public indoor range, the exhaust system is so strong that it takes a substantial pull on the door of each section just to get it open. It's amazing the volume of air being pulled out of the facility and discharged through the roof. It seems like overkill but it's better to be safe...

I still do my annual HR218 requalification with my original service gun, a H&K USP 40. That pistol still shoots as good today as it did on day one. Oddly enough, with thousands of rounds down the tube, it's still tight.

It looks like 99% of the paid applications will be unselected. This has got to be a HUGE money maker for the state. I saw something like this locally where you could apply to bowhunt whitetails in a large park that had NEVER allowed hunting. A paid applicant had to carefully watch for the...
