going to start loading up some .223 for my sister and have decided brass prep using the rcbs tool that comes in the rock chuckar kit isn't worth it for doing a lot of brass. so what are you guys using, how many cases/hour, how many cases/year do you probably do, would you buy the one you have...

wisconsinteacher started a thread about gear but I'm going to go one step farther: what pack do you use, what is it's purpose, what is your build? for me I hunt in the east so just use a northface school packpack sized pack as I don't need to carry meat out but if I go west need to upgrade...

I'm going to guess that the answer is "either" but I was curious if there is any reason to choose the 150 partition over the 160 accubond for the 280ai I have the potential to go to Idaho next year for elk and have 25 accubonds left on the bench with a good load for 100 yards I have 200...

in PA they have antler restrictions. Last year I had a buck come out not too far away from me so I pulled up the rifle and tried to look for his magical brow tine with my scope, could make out a brow tine on one side but not a third point on that side and on the other side couldn't make out a...

I grew up in PA, live in NY, wife has shown no interest in hunting which is fine as she still lets me go do my thing. Her brother lives just outside Boise so when I mentioned that I would like to go west and hunt with him sometime she made the comment "what about me, you don't think I want to...

wasn't sure if I should put it here or in the general section but figured here makes as much sense as anything: when you go out hunting/hiking make sure to carry some emergency supplies, an older gentleman that I know is currently missing very active & fit can glide across slick rocks in his...

anyone tried one yet? I have heard some outstanding things but no where around here to stretch their legs past about 250 so not worth the investment for me. I do like the idea that it could be a "family" gun with all of the adjustments that can be made, maybe not the optimum hunting rifle...

what process do most people go through to sell once fired brass? My sister & her boyfriend have been doing some shooting but don't reload and it doesn't sound like their friends do either. I said save the brass if there is any good brass to reload for her AR I will see what I can do. the...

I've had my 338-06ai for about a year now, worked up an ok load with the 200grain accubond but wanting to sit down and put a bit more time into finding a better load for deer & bear I know a lot of people here like the 225 & 250 grain bullets for their 338-06's but has anyone tried lighter...

Does anyone think Nosler is/will expand their bullet factory?

has anyone used the SPOT locator beacons before? or another product like it? I'm mainly looking at something to throw in my saddle bags on the horse for the peace of mind of finding her if I become separated. so was looking at the SPOT Trace, but also could find other uses for day hikes...

Not a review but a request for your reviews on steel gongs. Appears to be the ar500 steel is the way to go but is there anything else to consider? Right now im looking at the 10" 1/2" target from shootingtargets7.com

not exactly a rifle but I figured closest forum for a shotgun question. What shotguns do you guys own, what do you like/disslike about your particular shotgun? I'm looking for an all around shotgun, leaning towards an over/under or a semi-auto. My biggest problem is I have about a 13 1/2"...

any tips/tricks for developing a load with open sights? from about 8-12 I solely used a daisy bb gun with open sights, so when having my 338-06ai built I decided to switch things up and go open sights on it just for a change of pace for my eyes last week did a bit of shooting fireforming and...

looking at shooters pro and they have some bullets that i'm interested in but not really sure it's worth it yet. I'm looking generally & then specifically. Generally: how much of a weight difference between bullets in the test phase do you like to try? 338-06ai I haven't recieved the...

this is one of the very few news anchors that seems to get it! http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/12/17/pe ... acked-bear my dad told me about the attack but didn't realize it would gain national headlines. Just glad that the anchor got her facts to back her up & used Jimmy Sites as another...

Would you guys be happy with a 160grain accubond in the 2800fps range? 55 grains of H4831 has given me great results so far, 2 groups of 3 under an inch Have also tried 57 & 59 of RL 19 and could also try IMR 4350. I think the 59 of RL 19 has some promis I was just rushing my shots so caused...

so what is a safe way to determine the minimum coal of a loaded round? I ended up screwing up setting up my seating die yesterday and pushed the necks in, hard to close the bolt but fireformed right back out. today I figured out I was pushing the necks in while seating and that is why the...

my new rifle has arrived and boy was I excited bringing it home! :grin: Ruger M77 now chambered in 280 Ackley High Tech Specialties stock Leupold VX-2 2-7 with the LR Deuplex I believe it's a Pachmayr pad on it threaded muzzle brake loaded it up with nosler brass, 58.5 grains of...

neighbors told the mother-in-law that the coyotes were between their house & calf barn last night so tonight after feeding calves I took out my fox pro scorpion and my kill lights started out across the road and after watching a doe for a bit the coyotes got a bit wound up behind me on the...
