    Thieves Amongst Us

    About 15 years ago I stopped washing my vehicles and I always park them in albuquerque and have never been broken into. Seems like thieves are always breaking into the nice shiny vehicles. This has worked for me so far and I have the added benefit of my wife being able to find the car in large...

    Transporting a Charged Muzzle-loader

    I forgot to unload my stainless CVA for about 2 months after a hunt. After unloading and cleaning there were about 3 large pits in the lands from corrosion. Next they will make a law that after you fish for the day you need to take the hook off at night and when walking to the next fishing spot.

    Rifle/cartridge choice for daughter

    My 16 yr old daughter has been using a 270WIN on elk since she was about 12. I download a 130gr Hornady SP bullet with H4895 to 2735fps and for shots under 300 it does well. She is left eye dominant and right handed but shoots right handed.

    caliber or cartridge tread

    One thing that surprised me was I had been reloading the 270 for about 10 years then I measured the bullet diameter in millimeters and it's a 7mm.

    270 Win for Elk using 130 SST/130 Accubond/130NP

    Killed about 10 elk and one oryx with a 270 and they all died. The problem I have had with thin jacketed bullets is the loss of meat from blood shot. If a person is not getting quick kills with the 270 it isn't the killing power of the bullet diameter that is the problem. Been using the 140gn AB...

    Anyone have experience with Lee pro 4000 presses?

    Since no one has replied: Got the press and set it up. Took a little time for setup but man it is a lot faster production than a single stage or turret. Glad I bought it.

    Best video on how to quarter elk?

    We take the detachable sides off and strap the quarters to it. I am not worried about top heavy, that just gives my 16 old son a lesson in mechanics and physics. Ha ha!

    Head separation?

    Reloaded for about 10 years with a LEE press never had a problem. Changed to RCBS and had every case look just like the picture above after fired. Didn't realize at the time but the new press gave me a lot more leverage and I was creating this problem be doing the adjustment to the sizing die...
