    What are the issues with the Kimber hunters?

    I would think that the impact from the recoil that is damaging the tips is causing the bullets to be driven deeper into the case decreasing COAL, this more than likely is the cause of your poor groups, rather than damaged tips. This would be something that could be measured, load and shoot...

    Hunting Rifles With Threaded Barrels?

    Luke has a Barrett Field Craft in 6.5 CM for sale, it is a shooter. I have shot it with the Omega installed, so I know this is a good setup. The Kimbers use a threaded barrel that is 7/16 x 28 so you will need an adapter that I could only find from Kimber. The Tikka CTR comes threaded and is in...

    Christensen Arms

    What I'm trying to communicate to you is that bullets that are known to do best jammed into the lands, will often have a 2nd accuracy node seated much deeper. Often as accurate with the advantage of being able to be loaded from the magazine,,, drawback is seated deeper means less case capacity.

    Help! Seam Seal question

    In the 50s seems on the cold side for curing, I would hang it in the garage and let a fan run on it. Could maybe use some baby powder to keep it from sticking if you just had to pack it still sticky.

    Nu-Way propane stoves? (Tent Stove)

    I placed it as high as I could, but did not want it too hot up near the tent fabric.

    Nu-Way propane stoves? (Tent Stove)

    I forgot to mention that I installed a dampener at the top of the first section of stove pipe, I run it almost closed and this still lets the fumes pass but still catch allot of heat that would otherwise exit out the stove pipe.

    Nu-Way propane stoves? (Tent Stove)

    I have used a Nu Way stove for over ten years, for spring bear and fall moose hunts. I pack a 20lb carbon fiber propane tank and have the single burner Nu Way. I have never ran out and I run it all night most nights. I can see the propane in the tank so it is easy to monitor fuel level. I use it...

    Staying warm while glassing ridgelines during Oct-Nov

    I use Thermacare heat wraps "the large ones for backs", they last 12 to 16 hours. I also keep one in my bag on cold nights. For glassing I keep one over my stomach, this keeps my core warm and allows me to warm my hands too. These and a piece of Z mat to keep me insulated and dry from ground...

    Reloading for long range?

    Factory ammo is made to fire in ALL guns of the same caliber,, what this means is cases that have the shoulder shoved back to fit into any SAMMI spec chamber, same with seating, all factory ammo is seated deep enough to fit magazines and not hit the lands. IMHO and experience, the high BC...

    Mountain Goat Meat

    One thing I forgot, I use a Sous Vide machine to cook meats. I was able to get goat steaks fork tender using it, any meat for that matter. Sous Vide is just a fancy water heater, the food is vacuum sealed and cooked in this heated water for a set time and temp. Awesome way to cook lots of foods.

    Reloading for long range?

    Not sure where you live, but when I got started I was helped by a very knowledgeable reloader that mentored me and showed me start to finish and what he used. That really helped me with the learning curve and saved money too by not needing to rebuy things that may not work well together. The...
