    Ammo-reloadingshop.com

    I know this is a little late for your inquiry but hopefully it will help others. Ammo-reloadingshop.com is a scam. It cost me $100 to find out. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. After they accepted my payment made through Zelle (which should have been my first warning) I never heard from them...

    Lightweight tripod recommendations

    Good to know what you just told me. I like to use my existing BogPod for a walking stick as well. I was hoping to find a way to use it for a spotting scope tripod as well. I will see if Cabela's has it in stock to look at. Thanks again.

    Lightweight tripod recommendations

    Thanks for the time and the photos. Since I have not seen the components, only photos, I do not know what holds the connection between the gun rest or the camera base to the tripod. I see there is a stem that appears to have a couple small ball catches. Is there also a set screw that gets...

    Lightweight tripod recommendations

    I have an older bogpod tripod that is just a shooting rest and thinking about upgrading so I don't have to carry another tripod for the spotting scope. Can you lock down the quick change head in place so it is stable?

    Best shooting sticks for elk hunting?

    BOGear Bog Pod - its a tripod. So much better than a bi-pod or any sticks. I set the legs long enough to use as a walking stick which is real handy when traversing a slope. Because the weight is spread across all three legs they are quite sturdy when the pod is closed and the velcro strap...

    Windwalkers Safaris experience?

    I am looking at Windwalkers Safaris in British Columbia as a possible guide for an elk hunt, possibly goat. Does anyone have any experience with them, or the area? Thanks.

    Second choice location for pronghorn?

    Good strategy and that is what I would do if it was up to me. I go with 2 others who have been doing this for years so I feel I am more of a guest. It is their party so I do as they do. Great guys to hunt with and good friends, but I do question their logic at times. I think their approach...

    Second choice location for pronghorn?

    I will apply for a WY antelope license again this year but my experience is it takes a few years to get enough points to hunt where I want. I am looking for a second state to apply. Trophy not necessary, not even a buck. What state and where could someone either buy an OTC or have a very high...

    Spotting scope angled or straight?

    I use a straight for the following reasons. 1. At the range it is easier to use on the bench. I can just lean over and see where I am hitting. An angled scope would require me to stand up. 2. It is easier for me to find a target with a straight scope. An angled scope takes some...

    To neck size or full length size???

    Since there appears to be some strong opinions on the subject I would like to hear views on what I have been doing. I use a full length die. The die is set to push the shoulder down .001-.002. To achieve this I use a Hornady Comparator. I measure the overall length of a fired case at the...

    Case trimmer

    I have several cordless drills but I prefer to use my drill press. Much faster and more consistent because the cutter always has to move straight down, there is no chance of me changing the angle. I just leave the drill running, lock a case in, pull the handle till it hits the stop, let got...

    Case trimmer

    If you have a drill press that's the ticket. Very fast and repeatable.

    Hello from Minnesota

    Hello everyone. I have been lurking here for some time getting advice on reloading and optics so thanks for that. I get to the range frequently enough to keep my shell tumbler cobweb free. I am not a match shooter, only interested in hunting, but find the match shooters have a lot of...
