I just ordered a pack of these today, anyone use them yet? I see they're pretty new...
I'm running Fury's in my TC for my cow tag in a couple weeks, but always interested to try new options for the future.
What do you all do with new brass as far as prep work? Just inspect and load? Run through a FL sizing die? I have a backorder placed for Starline 30-06, so whenever that finally ships I'd like to know how to handle it.
I know it's a dumb question, but I've only worked with brass that's been...
Seems OnX isn't the only game in town these days.
I've been an OnX subscriber for a few years, I've seen Randy's video for GoHunt maps, an ad for Basemap Pro, and I've used CalTopo.
Curious if OnX still has the same advantage that it used to or if these other competitors offer a better product.
My Dad gave me his 30-06, which I've used since I was a boy. That rifle shoots clover leafs all day and I took several muleys and cows. Then I had an opportunity on my first bull, and when the time came for the rifle to go BOOM, it only went click. The firing pin never released. Hard to take the...
I just finished the last of my latest homebrew, an Irish red that I've made a few times.
Gotta get more going for the sister-in-law's wedding, hope that one turns out!
I was in Sportsman's the other day, and it reminded me of a grocery store at the start of Covid. I picked up the last 1lb jug of H4350 and 300 primers.
Anyone else having troubles getting what they need? The internet seems more reliable, I found enough TTSX and LRX to get through hunting season.
5 mile run between Zoom calls, ride the bike into the office to keep the lab running, walk/run/hike with the kiddos and look for deer. Rinse and repeat.
Need to find more range time for my elk load.
I'm measuring dummy rounds - I half size the neck on a fired case to give the bullet some tension, seat the bullet long, load into the chamber and close the bolt, remove the dummy cartridge, measure the round on the RCBS mic.
The measurements on the mic are relative measurements, meaning if the...
That's what's so strange, this is from measuring off the Ogive, not the tip.
I measured another 3 bullets, and they're all coming in at 0.058" - 0.059" so looks like that first bullet I tested was the outlier.
I've been considering moving to the Nosler E-Tip, any experience with consistency in...
That's right, I started working on this load following Barnes COAL measurement of 3.240, which turned out to be .150" from the lands. After finding the best powder charge I did a seating depth test and found getting closer to the lands ended up with my groups opening up.
I checked scope and...
