I THINK, that is a good sign I don't know. So, with that is seems to me powder burn rate will answer the question. Shoot a short barrel rifle at night and see how much burning powder is blown out the barrel. If very little, why have a longer barrel. If it looks like the daylight sun, then a...

I use a Bench Source Vertex Annealer after the third firing. I have not seen any difference in MV before the 4th shot. Other shooters use various annealing patterns that suites their style of shooting. You just have to set your own standard and go with it.

I am an old guy that has had shoulder pain almost all my life. I went to a gym and took a class on correction shoulder pain. Wow it changed my shooting in about two weeks. I no longer have pain and don't worry about getting my muscles wound up in a knot. It's been working for about 6 years now.

I can't say if it best, bit I found in my 30-06 rifle that trimming the neck to .013" thick, and using a neck bushing of .331 has helped my accuracy at least a little. I also try to keep each case neck the same. I anneal every 3rd loading full length size every load. There are a lot of ways to...

Thanks a ton for the hammer hunter chart. one eye john

I have the Cabela's 700-pound model with two spoked wheels equipped with brush guards inside and outside. I thought it would make getting a deer or elk out of the woods great, no problems. Well, I did not understand how much trash is laying around under all that grass and leaves that you don't...

Thanks for all your work, very interesting.

It looks like the case was too long to me. I am sure there could be other issues. I have had this same problem with Redding dies that have a maximum neck length in the die. for P7M13.

Thanks for the post. There are many ways anything can get in a brass case. I pick up once fired brass at the rifle range. It is amazing what I find in the cases even when a see the shooter who left the brass. I check before I load the cleaner and after I load the powder.

Wow A fantastic Deer, Congratulations. Hope you have a new lifetime hunter, Great work Dad.

If you use David Tubs bullets, be sure to follow exactly, his recommended firing routine to lap your barrel.

This is a great forum to learn from hunters and shooters who are successful.

Awesome Girl. Looks like a prefect shot. Tell her se is a real hunter.

You know it is possible to just adjust your 30-06 to fit what you need. I don't know what you have but a 7 1/2 pound rifle is not bad. You can add a muzzle break and good recoil pad to reduce recoil. You can load from 110 grain to 220 grain bullets with it. Change to a light weight scope. You...

I just posted reply to Twister.
