I was speechless when I read your post last night. I know nothing about game management in Nevada but can't believe the permits are so hard to get for residents. I did peruse the DOW website a little and saw (I think) that outfitters get guaranteed tags. Money talks I guess. Hunting in the...

{ don't think so. Definitely not black powder.

Hammond Game Getters can make any centerfire rifle small game capable. https://gamegetter.ca/operation/instruction.html Just to prove that it could be done, I shot a squirrel with my 30-06. I load .311 cast wheel weight balls with green .22 nail gun cartridges. Similar energy to .22 LR and...

Firearms design is moving on from the traditional hunting rifles that we grew up with. New hunters are fewer every year and places where you can freely roam the countryside are decreasing even faster. If you want to sell guns you got to give the public what they think they need. I agree, the...

I got this Lyman set as a gift several years ago: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Products-Powder-Funnel-System/dp/B079ZQWM1T The funnel is cast, so you have to hold it while you pour. The inserts fit the case mouth precisely, so no spillage. I use it all the time now.

I can see something like this being a Military acceptance criterion. Probably justified, although you're pelting your buddy with your hot brass instead, So they adjusted the gas port until it ejected where they wanted it to. I'm thinking that some commercial barrels have larger gas ports...

So back to the original question. When does "overgassing" become a problem. The OP's rifles are non-traditional calibers so are his symptoms truly problematic or just the nature of the beast? Dirty everything? How do you judge "cycle time" other than the ejection pattern? Where did the pie...

That pie chart gets drug out every time this topic gets brought up. I have 4 .223 AR's, and can confidently state that 3 of them throw brass into the red zone at 1 or 2 o'clock. The 4th one probably does too, but I can't remember. Two of them have been rebarreled several times and all are...

Don't ask me, I went to Red Dot's about 10 years ago. But I do shoot a fair amount of iron sighted air pistol. The key is to focus on the front sight once everything is lined up. Older eye's do better with a wide blade. Same principle in rifle sights. The Marines fabricated wide front...

+1 It's beyond me how the Constitution got drug into this discussion. As a 40+ year RCBS customer, I wish them the best.

Bore scoping with a piece of brass in the chamber gives you a relative length of the chamber w/r to that piece of brass. I suppose you could let your brass grow until it gets close and measure that length. The only downside is not all chambers are the same, and some over spec brass could...

I had to chuckle when I read the statement from Revelyst regarding the sale: "Revelyst will use proceeds from the sale to enhance the operational efficiencies of the company’s power brands, evaluate bolt-on acquisitions, and invest in maker-fueled innovation and organic growth." If anyone can...

I saw a couple of references to Blue Dot with 125's. Alliant says not to do that: https://www.alliantpowder.com/getting_started/safety/safety_notices.aspx The OP mentioned that he might consider 125's and Blue Dot is on his shelf. Just sayin...

That looks like a solid unit, and from what I could tell from the Ebay description the manufacturer seems to care about his product. I could never find the right combination using drills/power screw drivers to comfortably power my Forster trimmer. So I made my own. Bear in mind that I have...

At 2K rounds a year that powder will be gone in 4 or 5 years. It's not worth fretting over, especially considering his storage situation, which seams ideal.

Great idea!

The 1:10 twist and perhaps mag length are limiting factors for the super long high BC bullets. But the original 6.5-08 wildcat was conceived by long range shooters who had faster twist barrels and single loaded. Remington could have done a better job developing the .260 but that's another...

Here's a better shot of the full press:

I started out on Belding and Mull equipment that I inherited from a great-uncle. It came with some 1940's B&M manuals so I guess that is when he bought it. Press, neck sizing only. Set up for decapping on a 30-06 case: sizing dies and expander's, .22, .25, and .30: Shell "holders"...

Many people advocate a "sub-6" or line of white. Reason being if you want to focus on the front sight you're not distracted about trying to also precisely line-up at six or center mass on the target. I keep telling myself that I should try it in rifle also, but I'm too set in my ways to...
