Good job, I use a simular data form for relaoding. Ive broken mine down into a three ring notebook separated for each caliber rifle. When ever I work up a load, the data is recorded date # rounds ect. When I find that perfect load, it becomes very easy to reproduce. I also have a row to...

Magic-----My understanding fo the 325 when first introduced was suppose to be comparable even excede the 338 Win in the 200 gr bullet (as far as ballistics were concerned) To some degree its true, and also not true. The charts show a little maore energy and speed at certain distances but does...

You bet, up close and personal. Since I was 12, started with a Bear recurve. Have a PSE Firestorm for meat and a BlackWidow recurve for pure challange.

.22 pump, open sights, stand of white oak and a soft cusion for the back side. If a nut chewer shows, ees history. However I find deer hunting provides the greatest oppurtunity as them sobs are always rustling the leaves, so an arrow tipped with a small game head works fine too.

I have the 325 in an A-bolt with the Boss. An ugly gun with the Boss, but worthy. Of course I reload or I would not be shooting it much. Ammo around $65/20. Reloading gets it down toa around $1.00/ea. Yea I know, there are other calibers out there that cost even more. but I'm a working...

Re: Left Hand Rifles - How much interest is there in "Ready To Ship" left hand rifles Lefties---------------God's cruel joke? From a purely economic business perspective having product sit on the shelf is costly. to some degree, how fast could you turn a custom southpaw around for a customer...

Love it, and the action. Hunting ducks and geese will show you just how bad a shot you can be ( if you thought you were good with a shotgun.) Started hunting them in the mid 70s after that huge snow storm struck Buffalo NY. Wiped out small game in NE Ohio. My duddies and I trapped fox and...

NickinOhio: 1-2000 grand should cover everything. I did my first 2 wk bow hunt in Co for 1500. I was 55. Did it alone. Now, If you do go alone your first year will be mostly a learning lesson. Least was for me. I prepped by reasearching and getting maps of the area I wanted to hunt...

After 50 years of bowing, it comes down to what dirtball eluded too. Tune the bow and it will shoot any broadhead effective and efficiently. I've shot both and prefer the fixed (Muzzy MX-3). Does the job with no complaints on my end. Carbon shafts and Muzzies. I've shot just about...

My 2 cents worth, and it aint much compared to the knowledge of the long rangers in this thread, but I love my 308 and it will be with me for a long long long time. Ease of reloading/components etc. and recoil make the 308 a pleasure to shoot all day long. Mass, speed, and a slew of other...

My budget determines what I may magnify too. Currently 4.5x14. And I typically use the 14 for spotting only, if I don't have the spotting scope with me. My normal setting is between 6 to 10. But after being on this sight for a while, I realized I don't know squat anyway. Peope on this site...

I currently use RL 15/45g and 165 SST's with 0.75 MOA@100yds. Thats with an inexpensive Marlin 308. Can't complain. I plan on trying some varget as it seems to be very popular powder.

According to Alliant Tec RL 17 is suppose to be stable in all temps. And it is suppose to be or have the same burn rate close to IMR 4350 and H 4350. The Alliant Tec plant is just down the road from where I live, but I'm not sure that RL 17 is produced there. ITs the RAAP propellent plant...
