    Which 6.5 to build

    I'd buy that just to offer it for sale later at a jacked-up price...

    6.5 WSM reloading data

    I want to build a 6.5mmWSM, too. I have a Zermatt Arms stainless TL-3 in a left-bolt/right-port configuration. It's presently set-up for .473" heads, but the bolthead can be switched to a .532" head for $150. Unfortunately, the planned-emic has put the brakes on getting past having just the...

    Amputee training

    There was a double-amputee (both legs at the knee) whom worked as a greeter at my local Walmart; he was former military. Can't remember if he lost his legs in IRQ or AFG. He became a trucker, as I am. Many of today's trucks have automatic transmissions, just like in a passenger automobile. Why...

    Lost rifle In MT. Help.

    I'm a trucker; 27 years of it. I always make dam-ned sure I've done everything I have to do regarding the imminent trip before I head down the highway. Once I'm gone, getting back to the origin is essentially impossible. So I take my time! The old adage about haste making waste is usually never...

    Arizona ban on trail cams

    Is that not the purpose of overly-large government?

    When are gun manufacturers going to get it?

    Why not buy the items that constitute a rifle and have a gunsmith of high reputation assemble it? I did that with a target rifle I built. The first iteration used a Krieger barrel with a SAAMI chamber in 300WSM; it never shot better than half-minute. The second iteration used a Hart barrel in my...

    6.5 something

    Yeah! They even offer brass for my two mildcats, the .300 Nevada Desert Magnum and the .358 Sierra Stomper. I made mine from .375 Ruger Basic brass until Hornady quit making it; went to factory-formed .375 Ruger cases after that. Worked perfectly, just had incorrect headstampings...

    did I anneal too long or what else is going on?

    I anneal my cases in the bright blue part of the central flame from a bernz-o-matic torch until I just see a very faint orange coloration begin to show in the neck/shoulder portion. I anneal in a darkened room so as to see the orange as soon as it shows-up. I use a deep socket welded to a shank...

    Recommend a powder scale?

    Lock-N-Load by Hornady. I think it will handle up to 1500 grains. Weighs grains, grams and ounces. Quick and easy calibration procedure. I trickle my charges in with a manual thingy by Sinclair. I like that I can trickle to the "lower end" of the desired charge. I leave my scale plugged-in all...

    "Its Time"

    Fascinating reading. I don't go into the woods; have no reason to do so. If I ever hit one on a federal interstate highway, I hope I kill it good and dead, and the State Police come along before its kin do. I'd not want to be the only human around when its kinfolk show-up and start asking...

    Baboon culling in South Africa

    Unknown to me. It's got the "D" canopy, but that may have carried over to the "F" model. I am unsure if there ever was an "F" model; I will take your word for it. The image is of the "3rd" iteration; maybe the previous two crashed and this third is the rebuilt with replacement parts. You just...
