This will go down as the best hunt of my life time. Quick Backstory, last year my daughter , "19", took a huge interest in my fall white tail harvest. At her push we completed a full process from kill to freezer. At her push we even tanned the hide. A few months after, I presented her with a...

I've been having a heck of a time trying to find something useful out of Staball 6.5. Here's what I'm working with. Shooting a Weathermark LT 6.5 Creedmoor 22" barrel, 1/8 twist. I've been Trying multiple bullet weights from what has been available and just wasn't happy with the result. I'm...

For any women out there looking I have a very good report on the Savage 11 Lady Hunter. My daughter at the age of 19 has been joining me at the range and is determined to make it into the deer woods this fall. Doing the best she could with what I had to offer, I could tell that her shooting...

Humbly I bring this before you as an appeal. In the last few years I have felt a vacuum in a place where I would feel that the hunting community would typically lead the way. Being brought up in my life, hunting has always been synonymous with conservation of our wildlife and the protection...

I've been trying to find some accuracy in a 7mm Wby mag off and on for some time now and today I finally made an accidental discovery that has me completely abandoning polymer tipped bullets in this cartridge. Passively I have been trying different loads using Hornady eld-x and sst bullets at...

Hello all, been a while but it's gotten into fall and it's time to get back to shooting. I have recently gotten into a 500 S&W. Here is a quick detail on what I'm working with. Performance Center 10.5". I'm using Star line Brass and loading Vihtavuori N-110 behind a Sierra 350gn JHP...

Well dang it I did it again. Wasn't planned but it looked good and wasn't getting much attention at auction so it came home with me. Probably not a wise decision considering I know little about Mausers. It is chambered for 6mm rem with a Boyd laminate stock, and matt finish. I have been after a...

Looking for data for Retumbo with a 153gn SST for the 7mm wby mag. I have 1/2 lb of retumbo and am determined to find a use for it. I found published Nosler data for 150 gn and 160 gn partitions but these are compressed loads and the partition is is a lot shorter than the SST. Any info would be...

So I'm going on almost a month now with a Cabela's/Bass Pro exclusive the Savage 12fv in 204 Ruger. Maybe it's a lot to do with the cartridge but this is bar none the best out of the box accuracy I've experienced in a budget rifle. Caught it on sale at $339. Since new I really didn't take...

204 Ruger loading 39 gn blitz king atop 29 gn of CFE 223. Using data from Hodgdon for 40 gn Hornady vmax. Working up to 29 gn and group size is just starting to tighten, ".8in 4 shot group". Plan to work up further to find the sweet spot as it is pretty obvious that it's under powered and not...

Can anyone give me their take on these rifles? I'm looking really hard at a Ceratech model in 6.5 prc. I cant exactly walk into a store and fondle one. Order in only. Also hoping someone has the Sauer in 6.5 PRC. Listings for the same model advertise it as 22-1/2 and 24-1/2 evenly and I am...

Has anyone working with the 6.5 PRC Chronographed out of a 22" barrel? I ran a velocity estimator and it showed it losing only 20-30 fps from 24-22". Does that sound right?

I was hoping this cartridge has been about long enough to be clear of the gremlins that often plague new cartridges. There is a short list of rifles I'm considering but giving it a little time for the new to set in. I can recall a few times new cartridges came in and there being a problem with 3...

Does anyone know if there are any companies that still offer a conversion kit from 5mm rem mag to 5mm craig? Also if there are any providers of the centerfire brass?

Not to put the cart before the horse,but I'm soon to come in to a Win lever in 357 mag. I've done quite a bit of loading for 357 but only in a 6" pistol. I have a couple hundred 140 gn FTX bullets that I've been needing to put to use. Now I just have a couple hundred questions. 1: Is there...

I'm starting to develope a load for the 7mm wby mag and have been looking at the 162gn Hornady ELD-X. I've seen how it does in ballistic gel at short and long ranges and have been impressed with it, but am looking for more real world results. Can anyone share their experiences from hunting with...

Looking at the differences between these two scopes in a 4-16x42mm. I'm not sure if the Prostaff gets the edge in low light visibility or if it just the way they advertise. The Monarch has the reticle on the first focal lens and retains the same sized in relation to the target from 4 power to 16...

I'm starting to get set up for the 7mm Wby mag and was trying to decide on bullet weight. For any of you guys who have had bench or field time with these rifles, "Mark V 26", what bullet weight really lets this cartridge shine? I was looking from 140-150gn as anything beyond 150 seams to show...

I've been checking and searching but can't find where missouri conservation addresses baiting for coyote . I'm trying to make sure it's legal before setting up but I can't seam to find anything on the subject. Not sure what happened to the search engines but they are about as good as useless...

I'm not looking to raise a firestorm here but I'm beside myself at what I'm hearing about the occupation that just ended. Some typically intellectual voices in media are really downplaying this. I keep hearing that this is a peaceful protest by men legally carrying firearms. I fail to see how...
