    G20 loading

    I started loading for a G40 last year. I typically load moderate (8.3gr Power Pistol) 180gr plated for practice during the year and carry proper factory 200gr bear loads during hunting season and its on my hip. I have 150gr projectiles but have never gotten into them.

    College Help

    Just my $.02 here, Wyoming has 7ish colleges but only one four year university- University of Wyoming. I went to a junior college in Wyoming and it was dirt cheap compared to where I finished my bachelors. The quality of education was good, especially for the cost. I think the Western...

    Max load for 300 win mag?

    I was running 76.1gr H1000, Hornady case, 212 ELD-X, and Federal 215M primers in my Browning X-bolt Max Long Range with a can and getting right at 3000fps. The Hornady brass was too soft for my liking and started to get case failures after a few loadings. I am switching to ADG which has a lower...

    Purchasing first muzzleloader need advice please

    I recently bought my first muzzleloader. I got the CVA Optima 2 50 cal stainless on black furniture. Haven't shot it yet but it is a solidly made weapon. For $311 to my door, I am not displeased.

    Flying with multiple firearms one case?

    Never had an issue so long as its within weight, ammo stored in accordance with airline regs. Watch the specific airline regs. Some require you to have ammo stored in original containers or plastic containers, others allow them to be in magazines separated in the case from the weapon. Southwest...

    Colorado Elk 1st Rifle Unit 18 / 181

    Have been in 18 in the last few weeks. There are significant areas of mud slides and wash out around 125. Definitely still closed areas (even to foot traffic) as well as downed trees across FS roads and trails that are open. Be careful in any place where water is running under the road, even...

    Holster recommendations

    I run a Dara brand hip holster for both of my mountain carry weapons (Glock 40/41) which rides lower than my packs waist straps. Pretty good quality and affordable. A chest rig is also a great route

    Prairie dog rifle

    My prairie dog rifle is a Savage model 12 in 223 with a bull 26" 1:9 twist barrel. I had a custom stock made for it. About to upgrade the scope. I handload a 60 grain V-max H335 load for it. It works really well. As its been mentioned, the 223 is a big go-to for prairie dogs. The biggest part...

    Hunting Rifles With Threaded Barrels?

    I had a QD Gemtech and the other 3 cans I have are direct thread. I don't find any benefits to the QD and the mounts are $$$. I prefer to keep it simple. Never had issues cross threading so long as all the thread pitches match. Keep the threads clean and you should never have a problem

    Hunting Rifles With Threaded Barrels?

    @robtattoo has the same Savage 110 Hog Hunter 308 I use. I also run a Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range in 300WM. Both of them I use a direct thread Sandman TI can. I specifically sought them out for the threaded barrels. The 20" 308 is somewhat light and faster handling than the 26" 300WM. They...

    supressor cleaning

    @Sam Colt is right. I clean my rimfire can with a method called "the dip." Its not an eco-friendly manner of cleaning but it eats all the lead off without harming the baffles. Google the specific procedures. I then bake my baffles at 250 degrees for 10 minutes and then soak them in 100% silicone...

    7mm Rem Mag in 150gr ballistic tip. Enough for 400yd elk?

    Just throwing out this bit of field experience. I was with a guy who was using 150 SP out of a 7mm RM this last fall. He connected a round (his last bullet mind you) on very small muley doe at 444 yards. It was so small, he packed it out whole after field dressing. The bullet entered in front of...

    Leg holster

    I wear a G40 MOS or G41 on custom kydex rig that rides low enough on my hip that it does not interfere with my pack's waist straps or my draw. Its sufficient, I always find drop leg holsters ride too low and some rattle. If you want it on your hip, a low ride holster is the way to go- Safariland...

    Sent my wife to Scheels to get two boxes of 3" Winchester XR #5 turkey loads. She came back with two boxes of 3.5" and I can't shoot these. Either I buy a new gun or someone can shoot me an offer- cash or trade for the 3" version. I think they were $55 off the shelf. In Arvada, but in Littleton...
