    Charles May -

    I have some knives on order from Charles. He is.not always the quickest to respond, but I have not heard from him since August. Does anyone know if he is doing well? Nice guy, good to talk to on the phone. Hope he is just distracted by something good.

    Listen to guides when loading for big game

    I went on three big game rifle hunts this fall, spending nearly two months with some really great guides. These are guys that spend 5 months a year in the NWT and some that spent 4 months a year in British Columbia. They see more big game animals (moose, goats, caribou, elk and sheep) shot...

    Who is Gunwerk’s target customer

    At the outset, in full disclosure I have never shot a Gunwerks rifle, never seen one, and don’t know anyone who has one or has seen anyone who has one. They may be the best rifle ever built. I do not know. I own more than a couple custom rifles. I enjoy reloading and load development. I...

    164 grain APEX Afterburner - load results

    You may have seen this on other forums. If so scroll onward and upward. I am a sucker for trying something new so earlier this year I decided to try the 164 grain Afterburner in a new 7 SAUM build. In general, I really like Berger bullets and know them well. However, Barnes were “okay”...

    I probably know who I am using to do a full size of a dall sheep, but have two friends still looking at options. Who in your opinion are regarded as some of the best - currently - for sheep? Thanks

    How many Dalls in the B&C book?

    I do not have a B&C record book. Does anyone know approximately how many all time book rams have been entered (170 inches and above)? Was looking at the number one on line and that thing is nearly unimaginable even when looking at a photo of the mount.

    10 power or 8 power binos - does it really matter?

    First, congrats to the sheep hunters that have harvested already this year. I leave the last week of August for a Dalls hunt. Watching overall weight, so my question is does it really matter if I use 8x42 NL Pures or 10x42 NL Pures? I will have a guide and another spotter/guide. I can...

    Can’t find a hands free tactical sling I saw yesterday - ugh

    Yesterday, I stumbled across a hands free rifle sling. It was a cross between an Edgar Sherman and a War Bull. It functioned like a Sherman, but had a semi padded shoulder piece that could be used or removed from the sling. I have search the web for two days looking for it. I thought I had...

    Need recommendation for ARCA rail

    I bought a MDT Mountain BiPod that was supposed to come with a Pic rail attachment. It did not, but came with the ARCA rail top. I need a recommendation for a 3 to 5 inch ARCA rail to put on a EH-1 Manners Stock for hunting. Thanks.

    WTT 168 Berger VLD .284 for 180 Berger VLD .284

    My 7 Mag likes the 180 grain bullets better. If you have 180 grain Berger VLD bullets you are not using, but do use the 168 VLDs, message me and maybe we can trade. Thanks.

    Another bushing and mandrel thought

    For those of you who size with a full length bushing die then use a separate mandrel, do you run the mandrel in once or twice? It would impact tension, but I am not sure which would be the most consistent.

    You favorite composite rifle stock?

    I am soon to have a rifle built and am considering my stock options. The last three have been built with Manners stocks. I like them. I really like carbon stocks over fiberglass. I have recently started to look at Foundation stocks, but know next to nothing about them. I am considering...

    Scratching head on ES and SD with good load

    Comparing two good loads - distance question.

    I posted this on another forum that is geared more towards just shooting, but thought I would get your input as well. I have two very good loads worked up for the same rifle. Each with the same powder, but different bullets and seating depths. I want to do one last test to see which is the...

    What temp is too hot for load development

    We are into June and I am still working on a couple loads for fall hunts. Never been in this position before. Normally by April I have finished load development while temperatures are comfortable and cool. I don’t mind practicing in the summer. Is there a temperature where you say I am just...
