    Best glue for recoil pad

    Hi all, I pulled the recoil pad off my Stocky’s carbon fiber stock to measure it so I can 3D print some spacers. According to the website the pad is only screwed on, but this one was lightly glued, and a little of the rubber started to come away from the plastic plate while I was gorilla...

    Howa 270 Win build

    I am happier with this stock than I thought I would be. I originally had though I might sponge more colors in and cover all of it, since I don’t normally like carbon fiber weave, but this actually looks kind of cool, IMO. Feels good, if a little short. I have orangutang arms, about 15” LOP, so...

    Howa 270 Win build

    Hi all, I bought a Howa 270 Win 22" barreled action from Brownells, that I am going to be using for whitetail hunting in WI. A Stocky's carbon fiber VG hunter is getting delivered today. I have an AB Raptor 8 and one of ABs 1/2x28 - 5/8x24 adaptors. I haven't gotten into reloading yet, but have...

    Weatherby 307 Range XP 2.0 barrel contour.

    Hi all, I have an AB Raptor 8 in .338 suppressor with the reflex that goes over a .75 dia barrel. I am looking at the Weatherby 307 Range XP 2.0 in 7mm Rem. Their website says it has a magnum sporter contour barrel, but I can't find any info about this contour to determine if my suppressor...

    270 Win Twist Rates?

    Did you have the throat opened up for that, did the longer bullet require extra free bore?

    Rebarrel to fast twist 270 Win or go 6.8 Western?

    @alpinewanderer One good thing about the 270 Win over 6.8 Western is, if you travel to hunt and your ammo gets lost, 270 must be in the top 10 rifle rounds, in not top 5. So if you know a factory loading that your gun likes, you probably will be able to find it. Might not be optimal, like your...

    Windy hunting grounds

    I am not nearly practiced enough for a 500 yard shot even on a calm day. I just am thinking a round shooting a fast high BC bullet would let me get out on more days when it is windy here at home during gun season and feel more confident with a 200-250 yard shot.

    Windy hunting grounds

    Hello all, I moved to the family farm in Eastern WI about two years ago. I got a deer out of the back 40 new years eve (my first deer, at 45 years old) hunting with my cousin using his 6.5 PRC. I went out a few times earlier in the year, and have been paying more attention to the weather here...

    Sling for Tikka

    Hi all, I got my Tikka back with the 16” 338 Federal barrel from PAC Nor put on it. I had a 2.5-10x56 Trijicon Accupoint mounted, and I have an AB Raptor in 338. I would like to sling this in a manner that I can be walking with it hands free and have it ready to pull up fairly quickly if I do...

    First season turkey hunting

    I went turkey hunting for the first time this year. A local hunter and his wife who take kids out who have never hunted before hunt on our land and have bird rights. I am 44, so not a kid (well, not physically at least, maturity wise, well...) but they offered to take me out after turkey. Day 1...

    Bluebird house defense

    I have been zapping starlings and house sparrows for a few weeks now. A pair of tree swallows have moved into the birdhouse, so I will have to keep the rif-raf down. Problem is, the birds have learned that an open window in my house means time to clear out. I have another PCP I haven't zeroed...

    Bluebird house defense

    I noticed lots of activity around the bluebird house today, and it wasn't bluebirds. The House sparrows are starting to nest. They are invasive and will kill native bluebirds and tree swallows, so I do what I can to keep them out of there, and also keep them out of the machine shed where they...

    Ring height for Accupoint 2.5-10X56

    Hello all, I have a Tikka T3x D18 that I am re-barreling. The barrel is at PAC-NOR currently, for them to match the profile. Last night I was kind of bored, so I pulled the Accupoint 2.5-10x56 scope I am planning to put on the rifle off the rifle it was on. I used coins to figure out how high...

    Victor Titan Cheek Riser - T3x

    Hello all, I am going to need to get a cheek riser for my T3x. I like the look of the Victor Titan Universal, and it looks like it would be pretty solid. I have seen a few people that have used one on a T3x here on the forums. I have a big head and a long neck, however, and I get way up on the...

    Ultrasonic cleaners

    Hello all, I am considering getting an ultrasonic cleaner for brass cleaning. I won't be doing any huge batches of reloading, and it could be used for cleaning other things. I am thinking something like a 3L-6L would be reasonable. I would be willing to spend up to $300 or so, but I kind of get...

    Case trimming/prep

    Hello all, What would you recommend to a new reloader for case trimming and prep? It looks like there is a fast option in the Little Crow "World's Finest" that fit in a hand drill, or something that might be more fool proof like the Lee case length gauge and trimmer. But there also is likely...

    Reforming .308 brass to .338 FED

    I have read the RCBS 338 Fed die comes with a pretty good taper. If I run into trouble, that isn't just me being a newb, I'll look at extra tools for the process. I'll read up on the tapered size button so I can keep that idea in mind.

    Reforming .308 brass to .338 FED

    I am having a new barrel made. The short length is because I will be sticking a 6" can on the end, so I want to keep the over all length down.
