    Exercise for arthritic knees?

    This is my 2 cents for anyone suffering from sore knees. 1. Get an MRI if insurance will pay for it. You’ll need that so your insurance will help pay for some, and hopefully all that’s needed. 2. If you’ve already had surgery or have arthritis but don’t need surgery, see if you can get a...

    Cannot close bolt on CVA Cascade with handloads

    Thanks for all the info. Ive been reloading since I was a kid, and have probably 30+ years or more of sound practical experience, and never had this issue. After reading everyone’s comments, speaking with an older brother and talking to a couple of gunsmith friends of my son, I concluded my...

    Cannot close bolt on CVA Cascade with handloads

    My son recently purchased a CVA Cascade chambered in .308. After following the recommended barrel break in procedure, I took the once fired Nosler brass and began the process of developing some reloads to use for hunting rounds. I visited the range yesterday and to my surprise, was unable to...

    7mm-08 Nosler 140gr Ballistic Tip or Accubond

    I have a Rem 700 in 7mm08 and shoot the 140 gr Accubond and Partition with 41.0 grains of H4895. I load each bullet the same and use the AB for whitetail and the Partition for pigs. The AB shoots a .5 to .750 group (depending on how much coffee I drink) while the Partition is a little over an...

    Optic recommendations for Savage 110 6.5 PRC

    I went with the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 with the Talley rings. Great glass for the price and shoots and tracks well.

    Remington 788 in 22/250 cal.

    My father‘s 788 22-250 was passed down to me after his passing. It was given to me with a box of Remington core lokt‘s from the 1970’s and a box of 50 hand loads labeled 40 gr ballistic tip w/38.0 varget. I will never shoot these due to the sentimental value. I put an after market Timney...

    223 Deer Bullet/Factory Load

    My boys and I have killed many Southern whitetail deer and big boars with a .243 loaded with 95gr SST hand loads. They don’t move if you hit them right. The SST explodes and turns everything into jello. We have also shot a few nice pigs with AR15’s and DRT‘d them with well placed shots. I...

    Talley Lightweight Alloy vs DNZ Game Reaper 2 mounts

    I currently own both sets of these mounts and both have performed well. The Talley Lightweight rings are mounted on a Rem 700 7mm-08 with a Leupold VX2 3-9X40 and the DNZ’s are mounted on a CA Ridgeline 300 PRC with a Vortex Razor HD AMG. Again, both have performed well. My most recent purchase...

    Optic recommendations for Savage 110 6.5 PRC

    I’m a fan of FFP illuminated scopes and prefer them when possible over SFP. Budget isn’t a problem, I’m a fan of Vortex and have the Razor HD AMG 6-24x50 on my Ridgeline 300 PRC. I picked this new gun up for a great price and will let my boys use it when needed as well. I‘m looking for an...

    Optic recommendations for Savage 110 6.5 PRC

    I recently purchased the Savage 110 High Country in 6.5 PRC. The firearm will serve primarily as a hunting rifle for Louisiana whitetail deer and “other” North American wild game. I own several guns that range from 17 HMR up to 300 WM and the new 300 PRC. Our particular hunting camp here has...

    To those interested in the cartridge why 300 PRC?

    I recently purchased the 300 PRC in a CA Ridgeline topped with the Vortex Razor HD AMG 6x24x50 glass. I’m following the Christensen Arms barrel break in procedure as published and shooting the factory Hornady 212 gr ELD-X ammo only. On my second trip to the range I shot this 3 round group at 100...
