7mm Barnes
I switched to the 145LRX in my 7WSM. It has been shooting 1"'ish or less throughout the entire powder range with RL19. I lucked out and got enough to keep me going for quite a few seasons. I hopefully will be able to find a box here and there.- JustJay

Can anyone school me on .300 BLK for white-tailed deer?
It's just fine for deer, keep it under 200. The Barnes 110/120 Tac-Tx is probably the best bullet for hunting in the Blk. I have had zero issues, and clean kills. Ballistic tips will not expand worth a crap outside of 75'ish due to velocity. Just treat it as a 30-30, not a 300 Win Mag.- JustJay

Powder question of the day
So I have two cans (steel container) of IMR4895 that I purchased back in '99. Cans still look new, no moisture exposure, and have never been opened. Does it pay to use, for load work up and batch run?- JustJay

Pistol carry with Mystery Ranch Sawtooth
Wouldn't the safariland MLS or QLS be the ticket? I'm kind of slanting towards that route on mine.- JustJay

Reloading/Shooting/Firearm Projects - Let's Hear About 'Em!
It's been pretty low key on this end. Went to work up a 110Gr AB load for my 257 Roberts and 160Gr AB for my 7mmWSM. Everything from the bottom until the very top of the load data shot 1 to 1-1/4" groups for the Bob. The WSM not so much, but it was with Magpro. Once temps get back out of the...- JustJay

Range Brass Prep
Unless you're planning on shooting the world cup, or nationals with that brass. Full length size it, check the necks for signs of cracks and shoot it. If there are small dents in the case sides, they will fire form out the next firing. Weighing each case is an absolute waste of time if you're...- JustJay

WY deer unit 40
