    100 yd zero hitting high at 200 yd

    work out a drop table for that bullet and velocity. there are several online resources for that. Then check your results against the drop table. When I shoot Pdogs, I have a drop table in the cover of my ammo case. HM

    RELOADED .270 STICK AND CAN NOT CLOSE BOLT SAKO RIFLE

    fired cases should go in the chamber, unless you are using 2 different rifles. My bet is case overall length, with camover not set the second choice. HM

    To Remage or not to remage

    Put a Shilen on a Savage, biggest hassle was finding a friend with a barrel vise to remove the existing barrel. Headspace was easy, doing the math for 20 TPI figures out to 1/16th of a turn = .003". Used a new unfired case and turned barrel in till the bolt barely wouldn't close. Marked the...

    looong barrel. Shoulder sling problems.

    Carry with the buttstock up. Learned this a long time ago reading about NZ pro hunters.

    What causes powder temp sensitivity?

    We had Pdog 223 rounds suddenly vaporizing the Hornady SX bullets we were using. Had them on the table in direct sun, and they were loaded just under 3400 FPS.....put them in the pop cooler and they started working properly again. Apparently the warmup got them just over the edge, velocity...

    Question on cleaning your rifle barrel

    Wipe-Out or other good foaming bore cleaner. No brush necessary. I use Pro-Shot in the field when shooting Pdogs, about every 50 shots. HM

    Are 224 Bullets Too small for Deer Sized Game?

    Anyone using varmint bullets for bigger game needs to go have their lobotomy checked because it probably didn't take. HM

    Kill the wolf?

    +1 on the 3S solution. People don't understand, Man has replaced the wolf as the top predator on the food chain. There is not room for both. If you saw what happens to a deer yard in deep winter with wolves around you might be appalled. The **** things kill for fun, not just for food. They like...

    Optics for aging eyes

    Get the cataracts out. you will have 20 20 uncorrected vision. As a trap shooter the best thing that happened in years.

    Ok I am not a big fan of the 6.5 Creedmore

    CM came from 30TC (came from 308). Not much of an "improved case design" Imo. Shoulder angle is steeper, case is shorter. Less powder capacity than 260. People can buy whatever they want. Gun dealers in my area are stuffed with CM rifles, and counter monkeys with very little real knowledge...

    Ok I am not a big fan of the 6.5 Creedmore

    260 walks circles around the CM, With the added advantage of being able to use plentiful 308 brass. IMO just another market stimulus to increase sales. How many Short Mags were there again? Don't buy the hype. HM
