    New Powder scale

    Hi all I’ve been hand loading for about a year now. I love it. I’ve started w the hornady LnL kit. It’s been great starter set up. But in my opinion the powder scale is the weak link. Before I go chasing better accuracy other ways, I feel like I should upgrade scales. What’s a good reasonable...

    Is Bear Spray needed in non-grizzly area?

    A coworker swears by a sprinkle of Copenhagen snuff around hunting camp to keep bears away. Seems crazy, but can’t argue that he hasn’t had a bear in camp since he started doing it 15 yrs ago... Anyone else heard of this?

    Gloves, gaiters, microspikes

    Well the 10 day Dall hunt, packing list is about complete. Only about 2 items left undecided. Which gloves? Light weight liners, heavy gauntlets, or the blue “breathable” rubber Showas. Also what about gaiters? To take or not to take? We don’t have the fancy Kuius, but the knockoff amazon...

    Rifle glare

    Hmm thank you for all the input. I’ve had similar experiences watching hunting partners rifle glare in the distance. I wish I would’ve taken care of this 6 months ago. But for now I might just cover the scope lens, eject port, and muzzle and give ‘er light dusting of Krylon camo. Then do a...

    Rifle glare

    How OCD do you guys get about hiding glare during your Dall sheep hunts? I alway cover my watch, paint my poles, and avoid sunglasses etc on mountain hunts. Going on a sheep hunt in a couple weeks and am kinda worried about my stainless Tikka. I was considering just rattle canning it. But don’t...

    Leuko tape alternative

    Obviously, ideally your boots fit so perfect that you never get blisters or need heel protection. Realistically, at least for me, taping my heels is occasionally necessary. No matter the boot or break in. Leuko tape used to work perfect! Unfortunately, the last 2 times I’ve had to tape, it’s...

    Wet Tumbler

    Anyone ever have brass turn pink when wet tumbling? Ran a batch this weekend and 6 of the 24 case heads turned pinkish. This was with a couple drops of Joy dish soap and a few pinches of Lemishine.
