    New LabRadar LX

    Where Garmin Zero hits the mark is seamless connection connectivity with iPhone, etc. I sit down at my shooting bench, turn Garmin unit on, shoot, turn unit off, go home, turn my iPhone on and have all this wonderful data just waiting for me. So so simple and remarkably error free. This is all...

    Anyone shooting Browning fast twist 270?

    I have a 270 WSM and a 6.8 Western both with a 7 1/2 twist heavy barrels. I can get them to shoot identical, except the 270 WSM takes 12% more powder(H4831sc). Others have found the same. The 6.8 Western is a more efficient cartridge. The 270 Winchester is a smaller cartridge by volume than...

    Garmin Xero C1 Storage

    It is so small I worry about misplacing my Garmin. In some ways wish it were florescent red or yellow. I do want my carrying case to be a stand out color.

    WSM Takeover

    The 6.8 Western is very much a WSM cartridge. Us reloaders now have another option for 6.8 Western Brass. Easy to convert 300 WSM brass to 6.8 Western.

    Brux vs ace barrels

    I have 8 rifles rebarreled with Brux barrrels in the past 3 years. Everyone of them shoots sub MOA. You will not be disappointed.

    Cost of a Custom Rifle with Glass

    I have some great rifles but could never spend $8000 on one. i just built two 6.8 Westerns for under $2000. I bought a 270 WSM Winchester 70 Coyote for $600 and added a SS Brux 6.8 Western target barrel for $300. It is a beautiful rifle, one that I am very proud of. The other one is a 7mm WSM...

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    At 72 years old, I can shoot anything hunting, including my 338 Win Mag. Target shooting, I limit myself to a 6.5 Creedmoor unless it has a muzzle brake. At this time in my life, I am a real fan of muzzle brakes, especially my target guns.

    If you could only have 3 long guns, which would you choose?

    I would need 4 guns to cover my hunting and shooting needs. 6mm Creedmoor (Target) 6.5 Creedmoor (Target and Hunting) 6.8 Western (Target and Hunting) 338 Win Mag (Hunting) What would I do without my 22LR. Maybe need 5!!! And could not live without a SHOTGUN!!!

    Redding Dies an Upgrade?

    I pick and choose my dies not on vendor but rather does the vendor make a die that fits into my reloading strategy. Examples. Lee Collet Die, Redding Body Die, RCBS Professional Seating Dies, are critical to my reloading processes. There are no bad die makers, I appreciate them all.

    Barrel Length

    I shoot 1000 and 1200 yards weekly. My barrels for these yardages is 26”. Those that come with shorter barrels as 22” are amazed their velocities are 400 ft/sec slower and don’t have the velocity to register on the electronic targets. Also if they have a AR style they are surprised by their poor...

    Reloading musings.

    Lots of agreement here, I love reloading. It is therapeutic. I shoot every week, so I reload every week. And yes trimming is the part I use to hate, but with the FA trimmer now one of my favorite parts. It goes so quickly. I can trim and clean primer pockets in 15 minutes. And they are perfect.
