First, I pick up brass on a range used for classes. Since all students MUST use factory ammo I feel safe in picking them up. Second, it is a sizing problem. The question I have to answer is to trust my chamber block or my caliper. I have, for now, decided to use the chamber block and if it...

I had one of my reloads get stuck going in to the chamber of my rifle. When I got the round out (and my fingers are still sore) I measured it with my caliper at .374 inches. The NRA Handloading book gives the measure for the case, just above the extractor grove, as .3759. I also have a chamber...

Take a look at the bullet you want to shoot and then reload it to as close a match to the factory round as you can. Get the reloading book for the bullet maker. They have tons a info.

One note, it is a federal crime to poison wildlife. So do not do it. You never know who might be listening or when. PETA nitwits are all around. Also, know your local hunting regs. Hunting rights and gun ownership is always at risk.

The Coywolf come from Eastern Canada and have been found in NY city. They are moving south. I will kill one first and let the vets figure out what it is.

To the OP, sorry for your loss. Around here we have to trap them this time of year. I am looking into getting a couple of traps. I do not want any pets around here going missing. And, no, we were here before the coyotes.

I use mil dot and love it. But it does take time to get used to it. Like rifle shooting, one must practice, practice, practice, ect.

Already torqued to factory specs. Looked them up ahead of time. But, thanks, I will look to moving up or down as I work it up for good groups.

Just received a Magpul Hunter stock for my Remington 700 Long Range in .30-06. It is a long action and has a detachable 5 round mags. Mounting was easy but you have to remove screw, remove the recoil pad and comb to remove the bolt. I have not been able to take it to the range yet, rain, but it...

The best rifle is only as good as me on a bad day. That is why I practice.

I always use plugs and electronic muffs when shooting my S&W 500mag. When I do every one on the range turns to see what has happened. Has different porting for lead and copper bullets. Same level of noise with either.

80 percent lowers are looking better and better every day.

Saw a report from a well known barrel maker who told new buyers to use a break-in process that used 100 rounds. When ask why his reply was he mostly sold to bench rest shooters who replaced barrels after 3000 rounds. So he sold more barrels if the shooter followed his directions for break in...
