Tried it in the field, on a hunt, for the first time this weekend. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. The big pot seemed to clumsy atop the little...

    Bullet for bison

    My Tikka 300 WM shoots my 200gr ELD-X and 180gr GMX handloads equally well. I’m going in a bison hunt and expect shots less than 200 yrds. Which bullet would be your choice for bison? The heavier ELD-X or the deep penetrating GMX?

    Best loads NOT near max charge odd?

    BEST : Boot water repellent treatment products

    I used to use Obenaufs, and was relatively happy w it. But it seemed like the boots would dry out and need a new treatment after just a few hikes. A year ago I switched to go ol fashioned Snoseal and have been very happy. Seals great, lasts long time, ready available, and cheap...

    Thoughts on 60 Years on Reloading

    Just started about 1 yr ago. I am enjoying it WAY more than I expected to. For the way MY mind works, it’s very zen like therapy. ...clear steps, detail, fine tuning.. It’s somthing to occupy my thoughts instead of stressing over uncontrollable real life shiz.
