    Hick's #1 Accurizer

    Does anyone have any experience with a Ruger #1 and the Hick's #1 Accurizer block, Pro or Con? If you do, Did you install it yourself or have a smith do it? I've got a 1B in a 280 that just doesn't shoot as well as I think it should and am considering adding one of these.

    This leupy is no good!

    I'm not married to any one scope manufacturer. I have/had Leupold, Vortex, Zeiss, Weaver (T-36), Bushnell , Nikon, and Night Force. Of these, I've had failures with with two Leupold (tracking issues), a Zeiss (wouldn't focus), and a Nikon (tracking and reticle issues) that required returning for...

    95 grain Ballistic Tip failure on a whitetail

    I know that many love the 243 but I am not a fan of them. Because of all the many articles singing great things about the cartridge I bought two to start my boys. Over a three year period they shot a total of seven deer and we were only able to recover four. In two cases I watched the hits...

    6.5 Remington Magnum Help

    I have a Remington 600 with the 18.5" vent rib barrel in 6.5 Remington Magnum. I've loaded 120 Nosler's with H4831 that shoot well but there is way too much muzzle flash. I'm assuming unburnt powder. I would like to try the 125 NPT but with some something that will be accurate and reduce the...

    Reloader 17 & 22

    I received emails from Midway that Reloader 17 & 22 have been discontinued! Has anyone heard this from another source?

    Seeking Digital Scale Recommendations

    I've been very happy with my RCBS Chargemaster Lite. It has been checked against my balance beam and the accuracy is there.

    Custom 6.5x55 Build

    That is one nice looking rifle and would appreciate your keeping us posted with your range and hunting results. I've always thought that I should have a 6.5x55 in my collection. I'm not sure I'm ready to do a custom build but would love to find one of the Winchester model 70 featherweights that...

    Horizon

    My wife and I have enjoyed Yellowstone and the spinoffs. Have not seen Horizon yet but we need to remember that these types of shows are made for entertainment and are not necessarily factual, kind of like the election campaigns. So far we've found them entertaining.

    Don't like it but do I keep it

    I agree with the feedback that you've already received. If it doesn't meet expectations or fill a need don't keep in the safe gathering dust.

    This leupy is no good!

    The Leupold scopes that I've had the the issue of failing to hold zero over time were the old 3-9x40 VARIX-II with the friction adjustments. My others have been good. I've also had to send a Zeiss in for the same issue that was on my 338-06 Ack Imp. My son's 7600 35 Whelen wears a Bushnell 3200...

    First time to the skeet range

    Skeet is a great sport and it is good to see that you have a daughter that is interested. I shoot 1 or 2 rounds a week at or "Sportsman's Club", which is just 1/2 mile from my home. It offers trap, skeet, 5-stand, .22 range, archery, and fishing. The facility is open to the public but what I'm...

    Best all around load .257 Roberts

    I had a Remington model 722 in 257R. It shot very well with 100 gr NBT and 43.5 gr IMR4350 but would not group 120 gr. I've since hade it rechambered to 257 Ackley Improved and am able to get acceptable groups now with the 120s. This group was shot with the 100 gr load and the buck was taken...

    I've not used Sportsman's Warehouse but have had good luck with the staff at Scheels when I have needed assistance.

    RL 26 Discontinued?????

    It isn't that they have discontinued or it is not available, it is that I have to select another powder and start over. Hopefully it will shoot well in the same or a close velocity node.

    OK Nosler what is this about?????

    I still have a small stock of the Nosler original SB that I use in my 7x57. I personally liked them better than the BT. The original batch of BTs that I purchased when they replaced the SBs didn't perform as well.

    Group testing my Remington 7600 carbine in 35 Whelen with 180 grain hot cores

    We get similar groups with my son's 7600 in 35 Whelen with Sierra 225 gr GK and Reloader 17. With the hit and miss availability of components I will have to test 4895 to see if it would provide a good alternative.
