    Needs some help on picking a scope.

    The SHV is hard to beat for the money and it fits your requirements perfectly.

    How many days do you hunt a year and what do you hunt mostly big gane wise ?

    Scared to answer this one. However my wife is a widow from the second week of September to the first week of January. It’s only been that way for 35 years and she’s still hoping I’ll grow out of it.

    Garmin chronograph

    I’ve been holding off since these came out. I have been very happy with the magneto speed and have mixed reviews on the Labrador. Never missed a reading with the magneto and have trusted the velocity but the poi shift is inevitable. Lab has worked well but the sensitivity leaves a little to be...

    Cold Bore fliers

    I feel the same about alcohol and have never used it but by no means am I saying it’s bad. My routine is to clean down to bare metal, verifying with a bore scope and running several dry patches followed up with a graphite patch and two dry patches. I them put them in the safe muzzle down and...

    Cold Bore fliers

    I’ll second this. Saw a video about a year ago and have been testing it since and for whatever reason, it has made a significant improvement in cold bore shots after cleaning.

    Muzzle brake for 300 Weatherby Mark V

    Funny this post just pooped up. I shot with an old friend this morning who I was helping load for a new 30-378 Accumark however he brought his old 300wby vanguard to shoot as well. Our furthest target was at 670 and he was centering an eight inch plate with ease with his new rifle and has never...

    February Shooting Challenge

    That’s a shame. I loved the fact that it inspired my wife and daughter to want to get out and shoot. There’s nothing better than a little friendly competition with nothing to lose other than a little pride. The February challenge was a good one and we videoed it from start to finish and they...

    Reloading Injuries

    Been there here and done that recently. My trimmer is on the right side of my press and if I leave the seating die in, it happens every freaking time! My mother always said, “if you’re going to be stupid, you better be tough”.

    Why Hammer Bullets Are Always Faster

    Old post are timeless. I still go back and read the ones from JE . Hate that he’s gone and his wisdom was priceless.

    Why Hammer Bullets Are Always Faster

    Not the case at all Bean and I love Hammers and run them exclusively in all of my hunting rigs and I’m a huge believer in light for caliber rounds for hunting. I just no longer push them to the edge and will settle on a middle node with accuracy being the number one goal. I’m a Weatherby nut and...

    Why Hammer Bullets Are Always Faster

    When I first started down this rabbit hole over four decades ago, I pushed the limits on everything until I had a failure. Needless to say, I was lucky that only thing damaged was the rifle and a $500 pair of glasses. I no longer push the limits with any combo and stay on the conservative side...

    February Shooting Challenge

    That would be awesome and would make her proud. She’s been shooting since she was four and this year she passed on two of the biggest deer we’ve ever had an opportunity to shoot on the last day of youth season here in Ga. She got a little nervous and would squeeze the trigger and had her in...
