    Deer Drives, Tags, and a 24Pt Buck

    So yesterday was our annual deer drive, 5 pax, 1 doe and a buck taken in about 6 hrs. in two locations, but we probably saw 20-25 "shootable" deer but, just not the "right" kind of deer. KS doesn't allow party hunting, you shoot what you have tags for. For instance, I've used my doe tag and...

    So it's that time again.... Food Plots!

    It's that time of year, when I put on my farming hat, and work on my plots in support of my deer engagement area. I mowed two of my plots last month and sprayed round-up a couple weeks ago. I'm picking up seed this afternoon on my way home from work. Going to hook-up the 3PT tiller tomorrow...

    It looks like there's a .358Win in my future.

    Deck Storage Box for TGT Storage

    Has anybody used something like this for steel target storage? I'm putting together a rimfire range (subset of my high-power range) and I'm looking to store my rimfire steel on my dam, rather than go back and forth to my target shed. I've got about 20 pieces of steel for rimfire now, mostly...

    Bergara B14R, 1st Ammo Test

    As I said in another post, ammo testing is going to be abbreviated for this one, cause there's just not much in-stock. So I tested what I had for a couple groups before the storm came in a few minutes ago. SK LR (left 2 tgts) and Lapua LR (R 2 TGTs): Both printed under .5" at 50. The top SK...

    New "Custom" Rem 700 Completed

    This one started out as my loaner rifle, a standard SS M700 .300WM ADL Synthetic from the 90s that I'd lend out or take on trips as a back-up. Over the years it's had work done, to include the latest re-barreling and restocking. It's now my idea of "a perfect anything in NA rifle cause I'm too...

    Belted Magnums: Reloading Fired Brass from Another Chamber?

    Guys, I'm working on re-forming 7mm RM brass for my .350 RM using once fired brass form another forum member. 95% of the time, there's no issue, but 5% of the time I end up with brass, although FL sized, will not chamber. I reload for both 300 win Mag and my .350RM and have not had this...

    How do YOU zero your BG rifle?

    Not the mechanics, but which zero do you prefer and why? IE. 100yd, 200yd MPBR etc? For the "why" please elaborate on your conditions. I've gone to all 200yd zeros to keep my drops somewhat constant. Also for my shorter range rigs, the standard Leupold Duplex gives me a 300yd hold using the...
