As mentioned previously, accuracy vs run n gun, wear and tear on brass, etc, etc… I painstakingly reload for my accurate guns and buy factory loads for the rest. I try not to take up permanent residency behind my press.

Weird …. So far I’ve seen just the opposite between those two units but I’ve had limited time behind them as well. So far, no dropped shots at all from G and a few from my LR. Maybe each “individual” unit (of both types) have their individual issues?!? I still like my LR but I’m liking my G...

Garmin is the way to go. Over the years (a lot of them) I bought, used and still own a couple of the cheaper chronos. Then decided to reach for the heavens and bought an OEHLER 35P. It’s still the ultimate Chrono (in my opinion) but set up is kind of a pain, especially on public ranges. Then I...

I see LabRadar just came out with a new model, LabRadar LX which is much more like the Garmin in size. Supposed to hit the retail stands in March/April. Playing a quick catch up to Garmin. I have one of the earlier made Labradars. I like it but it does have days it likes to mess with me. When...

Agree … having 2 17Rems, I’ve used them on many a Fox, Coyote and even a few Bobcats with outstanding performance. One shoots like a benchrest rifle and the other holds them about .75”. I realize it’s a 250yd caliber but I did make a kill on a coyote that wouldn’t close the distance closer than...

Call your Game and Fish and ask them to come look at it. Their biologist may decide for you and you may save the herd if it’s something of major concern

Occasionally causing jams of different types. Some needing ejection of the mag to clear. It is talked about by lots of users so it IS a design flaw. I have heard rumors that later mags have been re-engineered to fix the problem. I only own earlier made magazines not desiring to spend several...

I have a Tikka T3X Tac A1 in 6.5CM. One of the BEST rifles I’ve ever bought. The only sore spot about the weapon was the magazine as has been mentioned already by others. It is such an impressive weapon that my son and a friend of mine both had to have one also. We all have those rifles in...

Well I wish I could help you but I too have been waiting for Retumbo and just barely started trying to find anything that might be a good replacement. I’ve bought 8lb canisters of all of my other powders. I wish I had with Retumbo also. Unfortunately there isn’t much selection of anything on...

I heard it might be another 6-8 months. Who knows. Sounds like it’s time to switch powder or brands. Back to the drawing board testing loads. Geez.... more shooting 🤔💭 terrible just terrible. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

The word was, several months ago, that Retumbo would be back on shelves in July (2020 ? Although not specified😉). I guess they still have half the month left to make it happen. We shall see.

In regard to use of foam cleaners... I guess I look at as there being a difference between cleaning and stripping for long term storage. If your rounds go to the right places why scrub?

Exactly. No smell and does a great job without the scrubbing

My personal time behind a Weatherby rifle is limited to building ammo for my Brother-in-law’s 30-378. I can answer about accuracy of that rifle. It was a screamer with Barnes pills and accuracy was .75MOA. I was impressed but not enough to get one of my own. I was never into screamers. A few...

All is not lost yet unless that really is pitting in which case you have a very nice medium range rifle awaiting a new barrel. Scrub with your fingers crossed or find a bore scope and save that exercise for better more fun things. 😉
