    Congratulations! And thank you! I'm in the process of moving to Colorado now and was going to have to find a good gunsmith to work with. Pretty sure I just found it!

    Darn Non-Resident Hunters?!?

    Try hunting out of state with CA plates on your truck. People calm down when they start to talk to us. My wife and I are both 100% disabled veterans trying to fill our freezers for the year. We both prefer wild or home raised foods anyways but with her chemical exposure from the Marine Corps she...

    Barrels 2020

    Has anybody running Pac-Nor had an opportunity to try one of their 2020 barrels? I know their factory was destroyed in a fire and they just got back up and running this year. I'm assuming new machines and tooling so things could have changed. They are about 4 hours away from me and I have been...

    Help with Right handed / left eye dominant teen shooter

    My 17 year old stepson is the same way. Pistol is easy and he shoots right handed but crosses over and aims with his left eye. Rifle and archery he settled on shooting complete south paw. Its individual to the shooter whether its easier to train the eye to shoot right handed or the body...

    30-06 over 308

    I think Hathcock said it best. When the Marine Corps took away the 30-06 and gave him and his team 308s instead he told them straight out that they just cost him 200yds. B9th great all around cartridges, but if you're looking for range the 30-06 will trump a 308

    borron load adjustments?

    I keep hearing changes of 2 grains or more to get velocity back up where it should be

    borron load adjustments?

    Not the most experienced at loading hot. It just seemed like it might be better to change to a faster powder than compress a slower powder to make up the difference

    borron load adjustments?

    So you are simply increasing the powder charge but maintain the same type of powder?

    borron load adjustments?

    I have a new 6.5 PRC rifle on the way and gave been kicking around the idea of trying an HBN coating on the barrel and bullets. My question regarding borron and the required load adjustments is would it be better to increase the charge of the same powder or to change to a slightly faster powder...

    Shooting while pregnant?

    My guess would be that the answer is a complicated one. Some pregnancies can take everything just shy of an MMA match and still go fine while others are determined to derail no matter what you do. Complications can rear their heads at any point during pregnancy with some staying under the radar...
