    Barrel Compromise: Weight Vs. Practicality By Bryan Chatwell

    If you dont mind the extra money a fluted medium palma would be just about perfect. If not I would go with the light Palma but being a 7wsm you will get beat up shooting matches with it for sure. Not sure what you overall lenghth will be but you could always call the manufacturer of the barrel...

    fall bears in Arizona

    I just finished a bear hunt in Arizona with an outfitter that I wont mention. The guides worked hard but the outfitter seemed more interested in scouting other game than finding bears. Who is a good bear outfitter?

    Barrel Compromise: Weight Vs. Practicality By Bryan Chatwell

    I dont have an overall weight of the rifle as of right now, but I will get one. I overlooked that and apologize. Yes In my opinion the light palma would be just fine for an Edge.

    What makes a big game cartridge also a good varmit cartridge?

    I have to go with a 6.5-284 or the 25-06, depending on personal preference. The 6.5 will shoot heavier bullets with a higher B.C. Berger does now make a high B.C. 25 caliber bullet and you can buy a 25-06 right of the shelf if thats important.

As far as a snugg fit on the bolt for headspacing I think alot of ppl do that but it may be a little tight for varmint or...

    Millennium Chronograph Versus Pact MK IV Timer & Chronograph

    I dont think the difference of 12fps would matter at all. I also havent had any problems with the screens stroking out per se, but I havent had this chrono very long. If it does I think switching to the infra red screens would be the best option and probably worth doing anyway.gun)

    Reloading - Looking After The Brass Cartridge Case By Matthew Cameron

    I prefer using bushing dies for my resizing and like having total control over neck tension. However I dont have bushing dies in every caliber so one step I have added is to run the brass through the neck expander mandrel that you use to get the brass ready to turn the necks. I feel this...
