    25-06 with 75 Vmax.

    See, that's the problem, in my gun and most others I hear about, that 75 VMax is accurate as hell in a 25'06. I get 4,000fps and have had a few quarter inch, five shot groups. It's suitable out to about 400 before it starts dropping a lot. I wish they made a 90/100 grain in 25 caliber, but...

    Howa 1500

    There was a recall on 1500 bolt assemblies a couple years ago. I sent one in, they sent it back, and I was not real sure what they did to it? Mine has an excellent (but modified) factory trigger, you shouldn't need an aftermarket. If all Howa barrels are like mine, I'd get another before...

    a scary photo

    form letter Dear Sir, Y'all ain't gonna believe this? At first I thought it was a dang meteor, as I was about to touch the trigger, but when I looked up, a squirrel had jumped on my barrel! Then he attacked me, climbed on my head and bit my ear. I finally got him as he was looking down the...

    a scary photo

    This is a situation where I am inclined to take published data on faith. If I get two more inches of drop than the tables say I should, I can do the math~ That setup is identical to mine, even the lighting tripods, but mine has never been anywhere other than 10 or 15 feet from the muzzle...

    Pages slow to load

    I have not noticed a problem? I get pretty near instantaneous response, and I check in almost every day. LB

    Spotting scopes from Telescope makers?

    Maybe under optimum conditions you can see the bullet holes, if you know where to look, but maybe you won't always have optimum conditions? The thing I worry about with celestial scopes is their ruggedness and weatherproofing, if not actual waterproofing? It's hard to beat a spotting scope...

    My new weapon!!!

    First, let me apologize to kapoc for taking the wind from beneath his feet. I'm sorry, I know how it is to get a new gun. Now, UncleB. You have no idea what it's like being "born red in a blue state". Boxer, Feinstein, Hollyweird and the Land of the Fruits and the Nuts. It's not easy. But...

    My new weapon!!!

    The first thing I thought was the unfortunate choice of words. The libs call our sporting arms "weapons" and I promised myself the day I was discharged that I would never use that word except in a criminal or military context. Notice, in the above posts: Roy said: "piece" Bill said: "rifle"...

    Harbor freight vibratory case polisher

    That is pretty tacky. Please don't tell me you sneak into a second movie at the 'plex without paying?

    Millennium Chronograph Versus Pact MK IV Timer & Chronograph

    No offense, but I can't believe you are asking the question? What possible difference would twelve feet per second make? You get a real life number that is better than an estimate published in a reloading manual, so either would be acceptable, in my opinion. Very acceptable. Good hunting. LB

    Harbor freight vibratory case polisher

    I'm just lucky, I guess? I have had my Thumbler's for at least twenty years, good size but it doesn't dump the media for me. Had to take it apart recently, shaft was all bound up? In turning it upside down, I found out that it says to oil it every six months? It is back to working like a...
