I built a 6.5 PRC on a Savage long action and have no had issues with it on feeding. It shots great too.

I bought a T7 a few years back. I looked at the Forsters and Lyman as well. I liked the turret concept better. I like my T7. It's solid.

PM sent.

I would love to get some H1000 but would also be interested in RL26, Retumbo, N570, N565 and IMR8133.

I have some Varget as well but I'm a little further north than Platteville. I'm in Windsor but could meet you in Loveland.

The thing that convinced me to buy one (a few) was when my neighbor and I went across the road from our subdivision and shot prairie dogs one morning. He had suppressors. It was legal and safe but would have drawn a lot of attention without suppressors. That place is surrounded by houses, golf...

I am looking for H1000. I have several pounds of Varget and CFE223 that I can trade. I'm in the Ft. Collins/Loveland area.

I have both but I use the RCBS chargemaster the most (almost exclusively). I do use a lot of stick powders. Before I got the Chargemaster, I would use the Harrel's to throw a charge slightly less than that I wanted, dump it in a scale and and trickle it up to the correct weight. Most of the...

I have had the same experience quite a bit. I found an item I had been watching back in stock at Brownells. They said there were only 3 in stock so I snapped it up. A couple of days later I got a "Back in stock" notification. When I checked it out, they were out of stock. I don't depend on those...

I remember a gun mag writer addressing the 5 or 3 shot group question. He said it depends on the barrel. He felt sporter barrels heat up faster and may not provide consistent groups after 3 shots. Heavier barrels will be consistent for more shots. I see his logic but there may be different...

There's not much on the Savage website.

Potential scoring wouldn't stop me from pulling the trigger on a buck like that. Congrats on that one.

Scheels moved in about 1/2 mile from Dicks a few years ago. They sell a lot of the same stuff in a bigger store with more selection. And they have a great gun section and a Ferris wheel.

Hopefully, within the next year, we will be finishing our basement and part of that will be my reloading/gun room. So I have been watching for ideas for a new reloading bench as well as the rest of the room. I am considering an L-shaped bench with T-track. I also need to work out handy storage...

I have two Richards Mircrofit Dual Grip thumbhole stocks and have enjoyed shooting and hunting with them. It can be shot using the thumbhole or gripped like a standard stock. A left handed person could shoot easily enough. I will agree that the reach for the safety is awkward. But I am...
