    Anyone ever have issues W Talley's and heavy (NF) scopes?

    I have them on a mid weight 338 with brake holding a NF SHV, and have not noticed an issue. I am going through developing loads and have fired over 100 rounds so far through it.

    Watching the half ton diesel trucks.

    I was just in Panama and they have the Toyota Hilux and it looked sharp. I rented a Fortunner (similar to a Four runner). I think it had a 4 cyl diesel and it was ran surprisingly strong even with 7 folks in the car. Funny that diesel is cheaper then gas down there.

    Talley lightweights for Kimber Montana/Nightforce SHV?

    I mounted that same scope on a Dakota 97 using Talley low rings. Works perfectly. I did have to get an extended front base due to the shortness of that scope tube on a magnum length (338 WM) action.

    Idaho Fry Sauce

    Seems Heinz is making what the fine folks in Idaho call Fry sauce, and they don't know what to call it. Mayochup may change its name for US market | Fox News

    Nosler Accubonds vs Partitions

    I just picked up a 338 win mag and currently developing loads for it. Trying the 200 gr accubonds amd 210 barnes but thinking of moving up to 225 accubonds or partitions but cant decide which. This will be for elk. I have heard only good things for both rounds. Brother shoots a 300 win mag...

    Replacing gps with phone?

    I have been using a iphone 6 for the past two years with no problem with Gaia for topographic maps and Avenza for the forest service route maps. Start out the day with a full charge and use the GPS and camera and will still have 85% battery at the end of the day. We were going back to trucks...

    Anybody not religiously purifying their water?

    In my army days, we always had iodine tablets. Drank so much iodine treated water, that I actually started to like it. The only water I could not drink was from the Chagres river in Panama. That water was just pain nasty and nothing we tried made it drinkable. I would rather not get sick at...

    Where to buy a Gransfors small forest axe.

    I have the Gransfors forest axe (25") and really like it. The handle alone is a feature that places it above the competition. They just don't take a chunk of wood and shape out a handle. When you handle one, you can see that they take great care in selecting the wood and orienting the grain...

    105gr hornady bthp

    For the first question, I don't have their entire bullet line memorized. For the second, the 6.8 SPC is plenty fast for them. They shed the jacket quite readily. 300 yards at 1900 fps, they still shed.

    Kuiu Sizing

    I recently bought a Kuiu Guide Jacket in XL. XL jackets always fit me fine, but the Kuiu is tight on the chest and armpits. Is this normal for the Kuiu Guide Jacket? I will probably buy the the XXL and give the XL to my son who normally wears large. I just don't want to pay for the XXL and...

    Scent Control?

    I wash hunting clothes with baking soda and dry without dryer sheets. For bathing, I do use Hunters Specialties Scent Blocker. It is actually a pretty good soap and shampoo in one, plus I don't have to use deodorant when I use that soap. I had left a container of it in the kids bathroom for my...

    CCI 250 Primer issues

    These were new unfired brass. When I sized them before loading, I set the die to resize the neck only. I went back to the Lee reloading manual an it shows a headspace dimension of 2.116.

    Up to this point, I fired: 20 rounds Winchester factory 200 gr loads with no misfires. 44 rounds of hand loads using new unfired Remington brass. I had a total of 6 misfires. All but one misfire fired on the second try. Before loading the Rem brass, I ran them through a sizing die to resize the...

    CCI 250 Primer issues

    Thanks all. I will do some measuring today, as well as bolt disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. There was an experienced gunsmith at the range, and he agreed that the primer strike was sufficient. Some info that I probably should have posted: Dakota Arms M97 Outfitter in 338 Win Mag New...

    CCI 250 Primer issues

    Been developing loads for a 338 Win Mag and using CCI 250 large rifle magnum. 2 weeks ago at the range, I had 2 misfires out of 30 something rounds. I was able to reload the round and they fired. Today, I was back at the range, and I had 4 misfires out of about 25 rounds. 3 fired after...
