That's quite an amazing bit of engineering right there.

This is a dangerous thread!!! Curse the necromancer who resurrected it !!!! (just kidding there.....). I'm still sorting out my 7mm-300 Win mag, but have long given thought to a big, fat 338 and this is kindling a fire I just do not have the time for! I sure look long and hard at the 338-378...

I think that 'problem with the belt' rumor was started by Abe Lincoln before he switched back to paper-patched .54 cal. He posted a thread on presidents.org back in the day iirc. . . . . . . . . 👍🐟 fish-story on a rifle forum!!!!

As much as I like the Vortex EBR-2C Christmas Tree, I really prefer reticles like the one Larson posted here: Admittedly, I have not owned an optic with that reticle, but the pointed, bottom post and pointed horizontal posts work very well for me. The Christmas Trees are nice, but the...

I love research in general, but there comes a time when a subject-matter expert can clear away all the fluff and bloat. When I was buying a rangefinder, I called CLNY and spoke with Doug. He actually advised a lower-priced option for my actual needs but did say the item I was most interested in...

In honor of the 7STW and not to de-rail.. I remember when Layne S proclaimed the birth of the STW and I was immediately intrigued with it!!! I believe it really deserves recognition and accolades in spite the market leaving it by the wayside... @dogz - there is another site where a generous...

Brother, given that you're "reloading friendly", that certainly opens up the whole world of cartridges! The other well-experienced posters here have mentioned the 7mm-300____'s and I gotta say that's where I ended up. Even my GS, who is also a Guide, used to shoot a 7mm-Weatherby (when he can...

Not picture worthy, but the greatest damage reloading has done to me is when I was getting back into reloading..... My wallet is still crying!!! 💲💲💲

Oh my life!!!! I have a visual of me doing that very thing.... LOL - let the language fly!!!

As a former 82nd 'refugee' myself, I couldn't not support Joel. Those beauty Terminus actions are outta my price range (I'm not currently shopping anyway) but, I sure am glad there are so many who are able to do so. Rock on Airborne!

Not wanting to de-rail here, but my question is semi-relevant 🤪 Am I correct in thinking double-based powders (while giving slightly improved velocity) are harder on barrels than single-based powders? I was thinking RS Magnum was a single-based spherical powder?

Howdy all, Sierra Tipped GameKing - GameChanger bullets are available at MidwayUSA - just thought I'd share intel for those interested in these. Mods - I apologize if this is in the wrong place or if they're not a Sponsor (and should be!!!)?

That looks amazing! In general, I like the flooring and especially the great storage space. The under-shelf lighting is also very-well implemented. I do see where all the powder is going!!! 😆 I hope you have many full days of reloading!

Perfect! Understood - Is the 110gr on the heavy side for the 243 Win? I've not reloaded for something that small before... You mentioned a '110 a tip' - I've never heard of an "a tip"? Would a Nosler BallisticTip be sufficient? I'd want something with sufficient sectional density to ensure...

Thx! The ballot item that passed via the population centers (Denver metro + Boulder -> aka Calirado) is absolutely sickening. So, I am going to study predator hunting - coyotes in particular - as practice for when wolves become problematic. I'm confident 'yotes require very different hunting...
