We have a slightly different species down here that come out every year or two years. When they emerge as nymphs... they climb trees and anchor claw into the wood before shedding.... splitting the exoskeleton and becoming a big flying insect that makes lots of noise in the evening and night time.

Cicadas have very broad flat heads. We get to see them down here. When they emerge… they make a sound at night that will make your hair stand up if you're not used to hearing them.

Not cicadas

Well... I had a VX-5HD that went wacky so sent it to Leupold for repair. They immediately sent back an RMA number to return for repair. Upon arrival I received an email saying expect 8 weeks for the repair or reply. Not throwing rocks!... Understand this!...I'm completely OK with that if they...

I’ve never tried 3031 but have had wonderfully accurate loads with 165-185 grain and Varget.

About to try out a new to me Springfield Redline 308 with 20" Carbon barrel. I’ve heard mixed reviews about em. I'll be trying my loads for my other 20" steel barrel 308. Hopefully they like the same so I can use it in both.

No worries my friend… it’s only practice but I see you are a ways from me. If you ever come down south of Alexandria send me a notice and you are welcome to come shoot with me. I can always use the practice too!

Both Varget and IMR 4064 have worked well for me from 20" up to 26" with heavy bullets. CFE 223 and H335 will make the lighter bullets sizzle.

Where in La are you located. I'm in central La. and have a range that you are welcome to come shoot with me.

Up for sale is Vortex Fury 10x42 LRF and Burris Signature HD LRF. I've had the Furys for a while and bought the Burris not long ago for my son. We have decided to move to on board ballistic app models so these are for sale. Both work great and range as they should. The Burris has only been out...

I’ve used STP in the past when rebuilding engines along side my dad and still use it to coat all internal parts when doing engine, gearbox or enclosed case components with high friction contact parts. I actually never thought of trying it with resizing brass but will now!!

Old fashioned RCBS lube and roll on pad has always done well for me. I do use Hornady One Shot spray when I have a bunch to do at one time. Not a problem with either yet.

Perfect for hunting rifle build in 6 Creed or 243! I have some really good, accurate Wilson barrels GLWS!!

I loaded some 140 RDF in Creedmoor for a friend to cull hunt on his ranch in TX. He shot some broadside double shoulder shots that left a 1 1/2 - 2" exit up to 250 yards. He said lung shots over 150 didn't provide enough expansion. 6.5-284, PRC, GAP or SAUM should improve that terminal performance.

This looks nasty as hell for MPBR!!
