    Does new adg brass new to be sized or trimmed before first firing?

    I don't trim every time, and I certainly don't trim new brass, but I always lube it and run it through a full length sizing die.

    First time mounting a scope

    I don't quite know what you mean by that. If you mean that when you out the scope in the rings the objective is touching the barrel, then you need taller rings. If you can post a pic, I can be of more help.

    First time mounting a scope

    While the full length pic rail as a scope base has certain advantages as mentioned, it also has a few downsides. I have rifles set up with pic rails and also rifles with two piece bases. The main disadvantage of the full length rail, in my opinion, is that depending on your action type, it can...

    First time mounting a scope

    I have had good success with Warne Maxima vertically split rings on a number of rifles. Nothing wrong with them, and they are easy to work with. Need to see picture of what you have. If the objective is bottoming out on the rear sight, you may just need taller rings.

    Wind proof Fleece Jacket?

    I just got a Kuiu Rubicon that would seem to fit the bill. I like it so far.

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    I am apparently now in need of a third direct-thread 30 cal can. I was about to buy a Nomad Ti, but this thread is of interest. My other SilencerCo cans have been great, and it looks like the price is the same.

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    Local dealer had a special edition of the SBE3 12 last year, and this year they did a matching 20 with corresponding serial number. They offered the purchasers of the 12 the chance to complete the set. I just sort of wanted it. That said, I will probably put it to use shooting puddle ducks...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    I have an SBE 2 in 12 ga that I have owned for 15 years. Last year I bought an SBE 3 in 12 ga, and this year I got an SBE 3 in 20 ga. In my experience they are bullet proof, run whatever shells you stuff in them without complaint, and shoot lights out. Benelli is the Glock of shotguns. I also...

    I have no dog in the fight, but come visit Virginia. We'll sell you an OTC license with six whitetail tags, three of which can be used for bucks. The same license includes turkey tags, and you can also by an OTC bear tag every year. It is not the same as Western hunting, but if you want to...

    Weatherby - Which model Mark V?

    I have been hunting with 300 Win Mag and later 300 Weatherby Mag for 20 years using 180 grain 30 caliber bullets. Kills deer DRT. I don't understand the desire to try to slip by with the lightest cartridge possible, but different strokes for different folks I guess. I have hunted African with...

    Weatherby - Which model Mark V?

    300 Wby is 79 years old and going strong. Mine is pushing a 180 grain bullet at 3300 fps. There is very little not to like.

    Reloading kit

    There are other reasons to hand load than to save money. I make high quality tuned to my gun. I find it very satisfying to connect with a target using a load I worked up in a cartridge I loaded. It all depends on your goals. Good luck OP.

    Weatherby - Which model Mark V?

    I really like my 7mm Wby and 300 Wby. But, i load for them. That means that apart from buying brass, they don't cost any more to shoot than anything else. But if you do not load your own, ammo for the Weatherby cartridges can be very expensive. You might check into that before investing in...

    Weatherby - Which model Mark V?

    I have three Mk V's: A vintage one from 1985 in 7mm Wby (equivalent to the Deluxe today), an Ultralightweight in .30-06, and an Accumark in .300 Wby. They are all nice. All shoot sub-MOA. The vintage rifle with the nice wood and shiny blue finish is pretty and elegant. I enjoy hunting with...

    A Little West Of Southern Richmond, Va

    If you are shooting at 50 yards, it won't matter that much. Core-lokts group poorly for me. In my Weatherby Mk V .30-06 I either shoot handloads or Barnes factory cartridges loaded with 180 grain TTSX.

    Bergara BMR. Bottomed out scope, still over a foot high at 50 yards

    Something is wonky with your mounting solution. Try better bases and rings. Talley or Warne.
