    Looking for a smith in Texas Houston

    Pete Piper @ Precision Barrel Work in Hempstead. He does great work and turns it around fast.

    300 win mag and shoulder trauma

    Put a muzzle brake on it first. Should tame it quite a bit.

    we hated the elk counting whirly bird today

    Don't be mad at the pilots, assuming they weren't also also the biologists. They are paid to fly and backcountry flying work is hard to come by. Sorry the youngster lost the opportunity. I'd be hacked off too. (A pilot sticking up for other pilots)

    caliber recommendatioins for low recoil at 500 yards

    I'd go with a 6.5 (260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55, 6.5x47 Lapua) as the bullet selection is better (high BC) and their sectional density (performance on game) will be better than any of the 'light' 7mm bullets with similar ballistics.

    HS Precision frustration

    Sounds like the rear action screw is too long? If you hold the barreled action in place (with your hand or tape) and no screws, how does it cycle?

    New VX-6 Thoughts???

    Saw them at the SCI show last week. Nice scope. It's a Leupold. No parallax adjustment which, I believe, makes it unsuitable for long range work unless your gun handling and sight picture skills are exceptional. I preferred the new Zeiss 5-25, but it also lacks parallax adjustment... Mike

    My time to bitch

    My 7-08 AI XP100 w/Vais brake was very good for creating a 1 bench buffer or more on each side of me.

    Wildcat Quick Load Question

    If you can provide me a cartridge diagram/details, as well as bullet and powders choices, I can put it in QuickDesign and then run some QuickLoad data for you...

    SOLD/EXPIRED WTB: lapua 260 brass

    I paid $109.49 for 100 pieces from Midway. So 50 pieces to you at my cost is $54.75+ $5.35 (USPS Flat Rate Small) = $60.10 PM me if you are interested. Mike

    New 375 Sierra game king

    67g of RL-17 out of a 29" barrel, yielding 2429 fps at 53,956 psi (so still some margin to work up hotter). Mike

    New 375 Sierra game king

    Seems like the 375 has become a bit of an orphan for long range shooting and hunting. I had not noticed this bullet so I ran some #'s (QuickLoad + QuickTarget) for the 375 Ruger and (my) 375 H&H and am pretty impressed. I'd never really thought of my 375 as a long range gun, but this has me...
