Priming tool
I have a handheld Lee that I like, but I'm wearing it out. I also have a Lee bench prime that I use a lot. Neither of them are built for thousands of rounds of priming. This is one area where stuff should made of steel and held to close tolerances. BTW, $185 is ridiculous. -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
405gr@1900fps, 7lb carbine. -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
I'm going to pour a little more on this thread :) What does shooting 10 shot groups prove? And what does that have to do with hunting, or practical accuracy for that matter? If a fellow hits what he intends with his shot, isn't that the definition of "good shot"? How does it matter whether... -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
When you learn to shoot, recoil becomes a very minor part of making the shot. If you don't shoot enough to have "learned to shoot", then anticipation of recoil can mess up your shot. So learn to shoot. Look, I shoot my Marlin Guide Gun (48lbs/ft free recoil) as accurately as I do my AR15 - I'm... -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Always best to think before repeating old canards. -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
IMO, many new hunters are bedazzled by photos of bloodshot goo. The so-called "evidence" is simply the aftermath of making a hole in an animal while the heart continues to pump. Experienced hunters are not mesmerized by phases like "turned to mush" because they know it is (a) mostly congealed... -
What are people using in the ways of head lamps for backpack hunting?
When it is cold, and you need your light to last - you want lithiums. But not all lights work with lithiums (Petzel). So check. I still use a BD spot but I also use a Coast. My all time favorite for night hiking was a 2 (AAA) streamlight with an updated LED - it was so nice and light (and run... -
Which Powder Dispenser?
I guess you didn't read through the thread. Folks did exactly that. I remember Joe at Realguns testing Harrels against other dispensers 20 years ago. Conclusion: no difference overall. Buy what you want. -
Which Powder Dispenser?
I love how guys will tell you their favorite dispenser drops to within .01 grain! (0ne hundreth of a grain). All drum type dispensers will give you +/- .1 grain with their favorite powder ( usually a ball powder). None will drop long stick that consistently. Unless you're an F class... -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Put together some 223 - 21gr of LT-30 pushing an Everglades 55gr SP, Fiochi primers, range brass. I'll run it over the chronograph when the weather cooperates, but I'm looking for a 2900fps plinking load. Might only be 2800fps in the cold. -
Wyoming Hunter Fined $10,000 for Mistaking a Grizzly for a Black Bear
It is wrong to value a game animal as "a lost tag opportunity" - doesn't make sense at all. The state doesn't have an investment in the animal, the state isn't guaranteed a sale on the animal. Honestly, some of you need to think this through a bit better - that bear isn't an Angus steer. The... -
Bear Recipes
Put bear meat in Instant pot. Add 2 cups of chicken broth. 1 packet of ranch dressing mix, 1 packet of au jus. Add peeled potatoes and whole carrots. Set Instant Pot for 2.5 hr pressure cook. After which you can be sure that all the trichinosis eggs, ocysts, larva and adults are dead and... -
Powder Measure
The Lee Perfect is the best entry-level powder dispenser. Works great with flake and stick powders, but will leak with some ball powders like H335. ~$30. For about $70 is the Lee SomethingWonderful (forgot the name even though I'm using one). Has a clever direct bottle feature, repeatably... -
223 barrel length & speed
2640fps, 77gr tmk, 23.4gr 8208xbr, 2.26 col, 16" barrel. -
Speed goal for 77grn
I get 2650fps from my 16" AR using TAC & 8208xbr with published data. 77gr tmk. -
A better way to measure powder?
(Sarcasm)Wow! That is fantastic accuracy. That's less than half a kernel of H4350..(/sarcasm) -
Odd marks in hand loads
Usually bases matter more than tips. How much experience do you have shooting at 500yds? -
do all 30 06 load
I like 180gr at 2700-2900fps from a 24" barrel. I don't see the need to buy $1/shot bullets to kill Deer and Elk. Hornady Interlocks, Speer Hot Core, etc. kill just fine to as far as you can shoot. -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Do you realize that you are responding to something a noob dredged up from a multi-year old thread?
