    Cleaning Cases For Long Term Storage

    I am new to reloading and have a question about case storage. I have about 320 once fired 30-06 Supperformance brass that I have so far kept in the boxes that I bought it in. They have not been deprimed or cleaned in any way yet, some of them are a few years old. Up until now I didn’t think to...

    Home Built Target Camera

    I did a lot of looking on the internet for different camera systems for target shooting and decided to build my own after I read a few articles from people that have made their own. I know a little about electronics but I rushed into this with out much fore thought. I ordered most of the parts...

    Bipod for 300wm hunting rifle

    I have a Coldwell XLA 6-9" Bipod Pivot Model for my Winchester 30-06 (wooden stock with a single sling post). It hooks on to the sling stud and had an additional place to put your sling on the bipod. I have used it hunting and target shooting with out problems. The only thing I have problems...

    Anyone use Barnes Vor-TX in 30-06 150g?

    I started hunting with the 150 Remington Core-Lokt. They did really well and I would shoot them any time. I switched to Hornaday Supperformance 150 SST for better ballistics when I took a long range class and they did pretty good. The Barnes VOR-TX look like they are about the same thing so I...

    Wind Meter What Kind Do You Take To Th Field

    I also have a Kestrel 2500. I really like it and would not get a Sky Mate. I ordered two from Midway and they did not tell the right temperature. I put it out side in 80 degree sunlight and in the freezer, both times it said it was 60 degrees on both units. Wind speed, temp and barometric...

    My Leica 1600 B died

    Not trying to change the subject but I am having the same problem with my Leupold RX-1000i. I have not tried a new battery yet because my old one still reads good on the volt meter but I have a call in to Leupold about it.

    Leupold Range Finder Not Working

    I have had a Leupold RX-1000i TBR range finder for about two years and yesterday it stopped turning on. I ranged some deer by my house, that where 325 yards, then about an hour later I tried again but nothing would turn on. I checked the battery because it was the same one I bought with the...

    Shooting School Pics

    Small world, I also was in that class and I agree with Joe and Shay all the way. The best thing about the class, in my opinion, is that you don't have to have the latest and greatest stuff. I talked to Jordan and Jason several times before the class because I shoot the wooden stocked 30-06...

    Land Closeure

    Well I am sorry to have to say this but I just looked at the Montana FWP block management maps for the Dutton Ranch #43 and the Hollenback Ranch #42 and saw that the Stimson Lumber Company land is no longer available to hunt on, aka it is private land that is closed to hunting now. Over 9000...

    Balistic Problems

    I have some questions but first a little info. I purchased a lot of Hornady 150gr .308 SST bullets for reloading in my 30-06. I also bought some of the 30-106 Superformance ammo because I am just getting started with reloading and long range shooting. Question 1, When using the GSeven ballistic...

    Wolf Carcass

    I have a question to any one that has hunted and shot a wolf. What did you do with the carcass? I had a wolf tag last year and did not really think about what I would do if I shot a wolf. All I was interested in was the skull and maybe the hide. I am in Montana and I know that a wolf is not...

    Millet Scopes

    I know that people frown on having Mil/MOA mixes but I look at it two ways. One the Millet scopes are all second focal plane scopes so it you want to range something or hold off the correct amount then you have to stop and think "Ok am I on the correct power setting", that, by the way, can be...

    Scope bases for Winchester Ranger

    I have a Winchester Ranger that I would like to but a 20 MOA scope base set up on but I can't find any that say they will work on a Ranger. From what I can find on the internet the Ranger is just a cheaper version of a Model 70. Same action and barrel, cheaper stock and bluing. I just wanted to...
