    Primer Packaging

    Is this how primers normally come packaged? Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I’m just getting started with reloading. Seems…haphazard. - RadDad

    BR2 Primers in 7RM

    Forgive me if this has been asked before. I did a search and didn’t see what I was looking for. I found some CCI BR-2’s on Natchez. These primers will be for my first ever attempt at reloading. Am I going to have issues with ignition if I use these primers when developing a load for my 7mm Rem...

    Hunting Info/Draws Website

    Not sure exactly what I’m looking for here but I’ll do my best to explain it. I’d like to find a website that clearly outlines the entry and drawing process for every state. Preference point vs lottery in CLEAR language is really what I’m after. I think TopRut offers draw percentages/success...

    Non-AR Platform Semi-Auto

    I’m looking to add a rifle to the gun cabinet. Looking for something else besides another AR that is fun to shoot and won’t break the bank every trip to the range. Not looking for another rimfire either. I saw someone else mention the Springfield M1A which piqued my interest. Something like...

    2nd Season Dove

    Has anybody here ever gone out for the 2nd season opener (11/12) for doves? If so, what’s your thoughts? I’ve always enjoyed the general opener on 9/1 (and the rest of that season) but never hunted the second season. I’ll take any and all feedback you all want to give. Not even sure if the...

    Beginner Caliber and Rifle

    Looking to add another rifle to the safe. I have a 7mm REM Mag but want to add something that’s fun to shoot at the range and my nephews can use mule deer hunting with me. Since this isn’t my primary rifle, I’m not looking to break the bank. Initially I was thinking Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5CM...

    Hygenall LeadOff Wipes

    I’ve been spending more and more time at the range lately. Most of the time I’m running errands on the way back since the wife has the kids. Since I can’t always wash my hands I typically just use a wet one but I saw an ad for these LeadOff wipes (https://hygenall.com/shooting-sports/) which...

    Honest Franchi Affinity Feedback

    I’m leaning very heavily toward purchasing a Franchi Affinity 3 in 12 gauge with Realtree Max-5. This will be primarily a waterfowl and dove gun with a turkey hunt sprinkled in every now and again. I’ve used a Remington 870 Express for decades but it’s time for an upgrade. I’m looking for...

    CA Mesa W/ Hornady Outfitter Ammo?

    Does anybody here have any experience shooting the Hornady Outfitter ammo with the new CX bullet out of their CA Mesa? I have a 7mm Rem Mag Mesa and was able to find some outfitter ammo on the shelf locally. I have a hunt coming up requiring lead-free ammo so these may be a good fit. I’ve...

    Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact Magazines

    Does anybody know where I can get a 10 round magazine for my Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact? Or does anybody know other aftermarket magazines that are compatible with that firearm? I’m having a heck of a time finding one that works for the M&P 2.0 Compact in .40S&W. Thanks, -RadDad

    Dove Hunting Public Land - Where to Setup?

    I was lucky enough to get drawn for a hunt on public land (Central California) which only allows limited hunters on the refuge opening day. The refuge is 3ish hours away so I just won’t be able to get there to scout before the hunt. That said, I am spending a lot of time on OnX scouting the area...

    Bear Spray Disposal?

    For those of you who use bear spray, what do you do with expired canisters? I’ve heard the aerosol leaks over the years meaning the effective distance could be drastically reduced. To be on the safe side I bought a new spray and shelved the old one. It is still sitting in my garage so now I need...

    Hog Hunting Ammo

    Let me start by apologizing if this is not the right place for this question. Please feel free to point me in the right direction and I will re-post somewhere else. That said, I did do a quick search and didn’t find a whole lot of solid information on this. I am lucky enough to be going on a...

    Rookie Question

    I’m just getting into big game hunting after a lifetime of bird hunting. Scopes are totally new to me so I’m doing my best to learn everything I can to effectively use the one I have. My scope, a Vortex Viper HSLR 4-16x50 has the handy BDC reticle. As I understand it, the elevation hashes adjust...
