I shoot competitivly at 1000 yards. I often get asked what the longest shot I've made on a game animal. My replys are 50-70 yards on elk, maybe 100 on mule dear and maybe 200 on antelope. My thoughts are I hunt, getting close for my shots. If I want to shoot long range I'll go shoot paper. Then...

From a 1k F class shooter perspective, consistency is the name of the game. What the charge is is not as critical as it being the same every shot. I used an RCBS electronic scale when I started and saw my scores increase when I went to the GemPro. I got tired of having to weight the charge, then...

I could make my personal recomendation, but let me give you some thoughts from a hunter/competative long range shooter. Look for a 5R rifling in the barrel. It's not anymore accurate than a traditional cut but it's much easier to clean. 5R rifling has tapers from the rifling to the grooves which...

I just got done building a new pistol. Defiance Tenacity action,18" barrel HV Palma, MDT LSS stock, Sightron 6-24, 30 Banish Suppressor in 300WSM. 8.5 pounds and shoot awesome. Been using the 175 VLDs H4350 at 2850 fps. More torque than recoil. I'll be trying the 200 Hybrid and if I can get 2700...

If you really need proof of ownership, take a photo of them and you. The photo will be time stamped

I bought some Lapua 223 brass from Brownells a couple of years ago. A whole box had blue annealing oxide on the sides of the case, some down to the head. I called Brownells and they sent me a replacement box of brass and didn't want the defective brass back. If it's only one or two pieces, I...

Can't give you specifics about bullets for I've only shot a few pigs (6mm 105 VLD), prefer the knife. But I will say that they are my favorite animal to hunt. I'll take pigs over elk anyday and I live in Wyoming. Haven't been in a while because I'm tired of paying top dollar for a guide or...

Steve, I'm really sorry that this thread din't turn out to be what both you and I wanted. I'll be trying your bullets in a 7mm rifle I'm building for hunting. And when I hunt I hunt, meaning I get close before I shoot (<400 yds preferably < 200). If I want to shoot 1000 yards I'll take my 308...

OMG, I can't believe there is such confusion and misconceptions about barrel twist requirements. Oh I guess I can. The required barrel twist for any bullet is determined by the length of the bullet, not weight. Although you would think they go hand in hand. But I can have a longer bullet for...

The "cheap" or should I say inexpensive dies are none adjustable as far as shoulder bump. They are meant to have the bottom of the die touching the shell holder. Infact camming I believe is propper. The higher end dies are cut slightly short so that bump can be adjusted to what ever is needed...

I made a screw on sholder for a 6.5 pencil barrel for a 5/8-24 can. I went from 1/2-28 up to the 5/8-24 and it has worked great.

Here's what I found on Muzzle Brakes and More and his numbers sound good. You need to have enough shoulder for the brake to but up against. These are the thread sizes I recommend on barrel sizes in these ranges: Below .540" is 7/16x28 Between .540 and .630 is 1/2x28 unless you want to turn it...

If you come to Wyoming to hunt them you will need a trapping license. If you bring the hide to a taxidermist they will ask for the license.

If you go back to the original article which MSN quoted you'll see that they are talking about SARS-CoV-2, not CoV-19. SARS-CoV-2 was a problem back in the 90's and was quickly gotten under control. The strain of Covid we are dealing with today is totally different!

So hopefyully the order which I placed 3 weeks ago will now ship! It was in stock when I ordered and completed the order, but Alliant had shorted them. So they held the order till it arrived. Well, now I might start the 7SS build.
