    Playing with the Ec tuner

    Had one put on a 7-mag. The tuner brake. Works great! Recoil with 175 & 165 bullets, 243 or so. What I like is, you don't have to load a dozen different combinations. Just load 1, tune it, all done!

    Driving into Canada (BC) for a moose hunt

    Many years ago, I read Canada border cops frowned on reloaded ammo. Seems the reasoning at that time was they couldn't verify the contents. Don't know if this is still on effect.

    Cleaning barrels...

    Wipe out. Best darn stuff I have seen in years! Cleaning is sorta a personal preference thing, LOTS of good advice and products

    Reloading prices poll.

    Bought a couple Lee factory crimp dies yesterday that a few months back were 35-40 bucks, paid 18 shipped!

    6.5 PRC w/147 ELD-M

    If you are using a outfitter, check with him. Some outfits have minimum caliber requirements. Not fun getting there and being told "can't use that".Elk are tough, sure you get a lot of 1 and done. LOTS of elk have been killed with .257 wby, and .243. As W. D. M. Bell said "use enough gun".

    Tumbler, Vibratory Cleaner or Ultrasonic Cleaner?

    Anybody use Arrow brand brass cleaner? It's liquid concentrate mixed with water. It does a very good job, especially on very tarnished brass. The brass is more yellow, but after tumbling for a couple of hours in CC media presto, all as new.

    Any recommended gun safes? Liberty Revere 72 vs Cannon Wide Body 64??

    NO safe can stand up to a gas powered chop saw!!! As for added fire protection, I lined my safe with fire blanket. ANY heat reduction helps. Fire blanket won't burn, A ACETELYN TORCH won't burn it.

    Any recommended gun safes? Liberty Revere 72 vs Cannon Wide Body 64??

    I agree with fnlights, take out the guts, get sleeves, one up, one down. NOW no basement!! When a house burns, everything falls in, on top of your safe. A safe in a fire is essentially a oven. Heat has NO WHERE to go. Fire department won't let you get on scene "safety". Your stuff is sitting...

    240 wby

    6-06 is the way to go brass cheaper, easy to load, cheaper all the way around. Wish I had known this year's ago

    Building a switch barrel rifle, slowly.

    O K, As noted, there are many factory switch barrel guns. I love them, really good idea. Own several. For not a lot of $ (compared to a custom build) look at T C Dimensions. Discontinued now but findable. Ugly, BUT it works, it fits, feels good in the hands. Barrel change out simple. T C thought...

    Best Caliber Rifle Elk

    Talk to your outfitter, some have VERY strict opinions as to what caliber they will allow, as in nothing smaller than a .30 cal. ALSO ask if you can bring a back up rifle. Hunting from horses, well, stuff happens!!

    Oh No!!! I ruined my barrel with a bronze brush!

    Thanks for PROVING "it ain't the brush." I read on this forum that folks using stainless steel brass polishing balls will sometimes neglect to make sure all are out of case before loading, (maybe a couple get wedged together in the bottom of the case) . Load, shoot, = scoring lines in bore.

    Oh No!!! I ruined my barrel with a bronze brush!

    Almost exactly the same thing I do!!

    Couldn't stop thinking about Butterbean

    I bet if he just got a LITTLE creative, he could mix some powders, seldom used stuff, into a witches brew and BANG!!!!
