    Cleaning Rifle Brass?????

    Shrek, all he said is that some of the benchrest shooters have found that the "dirty" brass was more accurate than the brass that was cleaned on the inside. I can see my loading equipment getting pretty dirty with all the carbon at some point.

    aluminum atv trailer question

    Aluma trailers are made about 15 miles from where I live. Trailers are awesome and sold all around the world I have been told. The workmanship is excellent as far as I know. When you drive by the factory, you wonder if they ever sell any as the whole outside is covered with trailers. I have...

    Cleaning Rifle Brass?????

    I was visiting with a knowledgeable gentleman on the phone a couple days ago while ordering more "stuff" for reloading. The subject of cleaning rifle brass came up and he said that he does not clean the inside of brass (only the outside) due to accuracy issues. He said that tumblers...

    Thoughts On Primers?

    before you do anything else, I would try a different powder just in case. The powder should not be the issue. I have 5 17 Remingtons in Model 700 and have never had this issue. Was the brass new? If not, you may want to make sure that it doesn't need to be trimmed for some reason. Hard...

    rifle choice for Alaska hunts.

    I'm with Brandon. I took my 300WSM in a Model 70 Classic SS on my sheep hunt. It will rust if you don't care of it, period. Next time, I would probably take the 338 especially if moose or bears on the target list. Its in a Model 70 Classic SS also. Just my .02.

    Snipe pod

    I've got one. Bought it about 10 or 12 years ago and have taken it on several hunts. I've yet to actually use it shooting anything. I love the concept, but when push comes to shove, I have shot off of packs, rocks, trees, shooting sticks and bipods. I have the adapter on my rifle that I use...

    Nwt dall sheep outfitters?

    That is a monster ram! Did anyone ever kill it or did it die naturally? That's what dreams are made of.

    Hunting near Chadron

    There should be people here who know more than I do but there is plenty of Forest Service and probably State lands to hunt. Good area for birds as I have seen quite a few when I have gone through the area. Pretty scenery on top of it, too. Just stay in Chadron if you go scouting. Might be...

    WSSBC Convention & Fundraiser

    That's a nice auction list. I wish I was closer but my wife was "commenting" at lunch about our/my weekends through the end of March so I best not bring this one up as a possibility. Really like the Kifaru donation.

    Kifaru duplex/grab-t and 100#s of "meat"

    That picture made my day. Too funny. Is the dog wearing a diaper or a Grab-it??? Seriously, I would love the see the video of how you got the dog attached to the cargo panel and you standing up. The expression on bowser's face would have to be priceless.

    Finnlight or Superlight Re-bore

    I like it when we need to split hairs. But for that reason i could get by with a whole lot less rifles and wouldn't need as big of a safe, or another one. BTW, I like your idea.

    Hernia surgery

    Don't over do it or you will regret it later. Follow what the doctor said and you will be happier in the long run. Last thing you want to do at this point is to injure what was repaired. If you do what you are supposed to, you will be surprised on how fast you recover, especially if you were...

    To go guided or not

    Guides don't very often guarantee success. Short of being in a hay field where all the deer feed and your ability to make a shot, you still have to put in the time to get in shape and be capable of shooting whatever weapon you are using. BTW, are you planning on using a bow or a gun? If you...

    ? For you guys that work up loads for your rifles.

    That's where I get in trouble as I fear that some will crawl in the hole before I get a chance to shoot them. FIL and I took 9 guns between us on the last trip and still didnt' have enough of the ones we needed. Got to the point that I had to methodically shoot 10 times out of a 204 and then...

    ? For you guys that work up loads for your rifles.

    Depending on the caliber and how hot you have it loaded will make a difference. Also, some guns shoot cold bore different then when the barrel warms up a little. Worth knowing that especially if you end up shooting several times quickly at some point. Might want to consider weather conditions...

    Guns and Gear Auction - Northwest MT

    I'm guessing some of the guns with scopes may bring a little more. Might go if it was 1400 miles closer. Oops, 1200 closer.

    Rem 700BDL 300 Win Mag vs Tikka T3 300 Short Mag

    Just buy both and see how they shoot. I would like both rifles personally, but not wild about taking wood stocks on hunts where the environment can be wet and conditions otherwise hard on stocks. Don't know what the Tikka has, but both stocks can be replaced with aftermarkets if you want...

    What's your favorite 30 cal bullet for Elk

    Frankly, the 180 Partitions have worked too well for me to look at changing. I have some A-frames and Barnes bullets just collecting dust until I change my mind. Performance on elk has been impressive.

    25-06?

    Is there a better caliber? Possibly, but the 25-06 is a really good choice for your intended application. A quick look says that the bullets are going to be from at least 70 to 120 grains for a reloader and lots of factory options. I have two 25-06's and used one on a mule deer last year with...
