    Nightforce vs Huskemaw or something else in that price range??

    Cutter1 responds with the correct old adage...Buy once, cry (because of the price) once. I own a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5 x 27 x 56. SFP. I purchased this scope 3 years ago for $2500 from I believe Optics Planet. I asked for a discount and they were kind enough to give me one. Nonetheless, I...

    Are carbon wrapped barrels really worth the extra $$ ?

    There are two advantages from a Carbon Barrel according to Proof Research carbon Fiber Barrels... weight and the capability to strike a cinder block without leaving a mark, as per their YouTube video. With that said, I will stick to my Krieger and Bartlein Brands as I have a hammer should I...

    What bullet/s would you like to see tested?

    How about the Berger 185 Hybrid. I had a 5 shot group under 7” at 1000. Never did a Ballistics test, only a load development on my custom 308 from Mark Penrod out of Manchester, Indiana.

    New 300 WM —How to find “THE”bullet

    I’d give you a solid answer...however (canhunter35) from above saved me the time. Very good answer to your question... take notes and document everything. Altitude, weather, wind, etc.

    New to reloading...this is my plan...

    Pretty much everyone’s here is right on the mark as far as reloading. I might add a YouTube channel to your arsenal of info. I would suggest watching videos on Professional Long Range shooter David Tubb simply by going to YouTube and search for David Tubb Reloading and a copious amount of info...

    Best scope for the money

    Read closely...says for about $1000. I have a Razor HD and I paid $2500 for it and I love it.

    Another help me pick a scope thread...ugggh

    I’d be confident in recommending a Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 that has illuminated reticle and a 4.5 x 27 x 56 power. A little heavy, but you said something paramount in your question. When it comes to buying something...there is a big difference in Cost and Value. Cost is what you pay for...

    I switched to Steel pin tumbling

    The peening on the case mouths are the direct result of how much water, media and cases are being cleaned. I’ve never had peening or my mouths chewed up like the pictures here. I’ve had great results using about a pound of Steel Media, A good squirt of Dawn Liquid Soap, a pinch of Lemishine and...

    Why no love for the Sig optics?

    I’d rather spend my money on a Glass of Whiskey, opposed to Whiskey Glass.

    What are the easiest mistakes you learned the most from when reloading?

    This is a great question and worthy of us all. May I chime in... 1) Forgetting to close the hopper on my RCBS scale before filling it. 2) When cleaning brass with wet media and not drying completely, thus causing a lot of Fed 210M Primers to fail. (This will never happen again) 3) Not weighing...

    WHAT CALIBER???

    Now that’s a loaded question, pun intended. I’ll go with the 300 WM.

    Reloading Equipment

    I agree 100% with the chargemaster 1500 digital scale. I used to have the Harrels powder throw for measuring and while (somewhat) accurate, once I made the change to weighing every load, my shots closed up exponentially. So much in fact, people at the range started asking what I changed. Have to...

    Eating Coyote

    ...funny you should mention this. When we got off the boat from the Mekong, we sat down at this restaurant and had a delicious looking piece of steak, “meat”. It looked great but tasted like s#/t. That could very well have been dog. We sent it back and ordered a chicken dish.
