Thanks fellas. Ill do some researching and reading and video watching.
And Yes the brass was fired from this rifle.
i dont have the headspace kit. Ill have to pick one up.
Unsure of shoulder bump. Not 100% sure how to check that.
Headstamps all look fine. there are no pressure signs from the last firing.
Tried multiple cases also. And also ran them back through thr full length seater die.
I have some old reloaded rounds that need pulled that I did years ago...
Started to do some Load Dev on my 243 Win this eavning.
Using Norma Brass that has been once fired from Factory Norma ammo.
Full length sized.
Loaded the first round. Went to check the make sure it fit in the mag well as its a blind mag. And the bolt would barely close.
Tried a empty case from...
Wanted to hopefully get the opinions of some of you that have hunted late seasons.
Next year I am planning to hunt CO in the late season Rifle hunts.
I have only been out west 1 time so far and am looking to go back with the rifle. I know the weather can get pretty bad as far as snow and temps...
Have had a 300 WSM in Win Mod 70 for a while now but never really to to where I was shooting it much.
Now that I am I have a few questions about the rifle and the WSM in general.
From my understanding these rifles seem to like a heavier bullet in the 180 class.
Which I am fine with I have quite...
I have one of the Original Savage Axis in 6.5 CM.
Its a hell of an accurate rifle.
They arent a high end rifle by any means. But you put a trigger kit, bolt lift kit longer bolt handle and a Stock on them and they are a hell of a rifle for the money.
Mine will shoot MOA all day with 143 ELD-X...
I will not be able to visit the area before season.
Im not new to Chain saws by any means. Have used them a lot in past years.
Its just not something I need as I don't burn wood at home etc.
But my parents did. So I'm not new to them by any means.
My thought was just a small gas powered saw to...
Shot a Doe just last weekend here at home. Whitetail Doe
2.0 Sevr also.
I was really happy with the blood trail I got as it had rained for about 2 days straight and I knew trailing might be an issue.
Shot hit just a bit back as she was quartering more than I had thought originally.
Shot was at...
Going to mainly be truck camping yes.
I don't have a huge need at home for a Chin saw but with going out west as you all said clearing a road or just firewood I think I'm just going to pick one up
Looking at doign a rifle hunt next year and with the plan to burn a wood stove firewood is going to be a must.
Do you all take a chain saw with you I assume? I know I have seen a lot of the bigger hand saws but to me a Chain saw just seems like a better option.
Which saw do you guys take? Are...
Built my Daughter a 300 Blk just for this exact thing.
Shots less than 100 yards.
I have one spot that is pretty dense and ill be using it in there as well.
I thought I had heard some of that somewhere else. But I really dont doubt it.
I dont know Aron but have talked to him and he seemed like a down to earth guy. But after hearing things like this and some other stuff I have heard here and there it changed the way I thought.
I can see where Arons...
My daughter is hunting with a 300Blk this year.
I loaded her some 125gr Sierra Pro Hunters.
Havent had a chance to shoot anything with it yet but we have a bunch of season still this year.
Hope to get something done then.
Will report back for anyone that is still wondering about the round.
I have a ton of ground Whitetail in the freezer that hardly ever gets used.
I have never been a huge fan of ground deer in burgers and looking to do some other things with it other than just summer sausage or Snack Sticks like I have been.
Other than Chili.
What are some of your alls recipes...
