    Advice Needed, Numerous Tags in a Short Period

    Thanks for all the advice, I got lucky and was able to fill all three tags and didn't spoil any meat. It was a crazy week, but shot my bull at about 0900 on opening day. That was a hard one, took 5 trips packing out (including my camping gear) to my truck over 3 days at 6 hours each trip. He it...

    Advice Needed, Numerous Tags in a Short Period

    Hey Everyone, I am hoping for some advice. I have a week long hunt coming up, but during this week, my Bull Elk Tag, Antlerless Elk Tag and my Buck Deer tag all overlap. I HIGHLY doubt I will fill everything (be lucky to get anything), but I want to get thoughts on this JUST in case. Let's say...

    Gen 2 Tacoma Reliability?

    Though I suppose its possible they added a liner, but I am not sure if companies even make them. I know a lot of people mistake the composite bed for a liner though since its not metal like people are used to.

    Gen 2 Tacoma Reliability?

    - Wheel bearings - Yup, but I always assumed it was from running E rated 34" tires through a TON of mud and nasty crap. But for what its worth, it takes me about 2 hours in the driveway to replace them. I also burn through CV boots like they are going out of style due to my lift. Good silicon...

    Gen 2 Tacoma Reliability?

    The 2nd gen tacoma shave a composite bed, its not a plastic liner, the whole bed is made of composite, so you cannot remove it. yours may come with a rubber mat on the bottom (it was an option), but there was no bed liners. The composite bed was a bit of a worry for people when the 2nd gens...

    Gen 2 Tacoma Reliability?

    My 06 with almost 200K miles on it and VAST majority of those have been in 4wd low beating the crap out of her. She ALWAYS gets me where I want to go and more importantly, gets me home. I have never had any major issues. If you have the means, as was mentioned above, you can get a RTT for...

    Satterlee Opinions

    These were all three shot groups. I haven't tuned seating depth so there were no amazing groups, I did make a note that 56 and 56.6 did produce pretty nice groups for having not been fine tuned yet. Not following my max lower than min at 55.2 statement. My Min at 55.2 is 2986 ft/s and max is...

    Hi Everyone. I am hoping you can help. I have never used the scatterlee method before, so I decided to give it a try. I shot 3 shot groups of 0.2gr increments for a new bullet I am trying out. What nodes would you hone in on here and what would your next step be? Would you try to do a few rounds...

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    Update: I have confirmed that my Primers are from a known lot of bad WLR primers (Lot DHL765Q). Winchester will buy them back from me and supposedly will pay to repair my bolt, (waiting on confirmation on that once i get quotes). Unfortunately, I have several hundred loaded rounds using these...

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    This is what I am suspecting. I know that she liked some reloads I made for my other 270 which I used to sight her in (see above post), so I think I will mimic that seating depth with a min charge and see what happens. I will do a 5 shot group that mimic the length to the Ogive (so bullet jump...

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    Na, I am actually very happy with this rifle. She is very nice and actually shoots well when I get things dialed in. This was some plinking reloads I had previously made for my Rem 700 that I just ran through her when I was getting the scope sighted (these are not hunting rounds, hence why I am...

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    Primers felt good when seated. And other data I looked at for this powder actually suggested an even hotter load. (Barnes data suggested 52.5 to 58.4 gr). Brass was once fired factory ammo

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    Seating deeper (shorter COL) would increase the pressure and make it worse wouldn't it? I will run a few LIGHT loads with my longer COL and the suggested COL and see if it improves or worsens the issue. thanks for the input!

    Help - 270 Load damaging my Bolt

    Hey Everyone, I am looking for any insight you may have. I have been reloading casually for years, and just picked up a new Tikka T3x ultra lite in .270 for this season. I am working on developing a load for her now but have run into some strange issues. First about the load: Bullet: Barnes...
