Whats the story with the casper area? Is there any good elk hunting around there? How is the crime, cost of living? is it predominately republican or democrat? I have lived in northern MN and the Fargo area so I know what bad winters are like. I would like to eventually retire in wyoming. I have traveled the northern half of the state, but never down by casper or cheyene. I would like to get some acreage to shoot on. I grew up on a farm and have lived in the country on acreage most of my life. What can you guys tell me that I should know?

I am looking for an impact precision 787r w/ mag bolt face.

No respect, I'm telling ya. Nobody wants to do anything with me. Had to force my puppy to play Scrabble with me. He ate all his letters.
I take him to the vet . You know my vet, doctor Lysensback, great guy. They say he needs to stay and I should go home. I'm getting use to it, I'm telling ya, getting use to it.
I call the next day , they say call back in 2 days. I call back and ask what's taking so long. If I don't have my dog , I get no visitors ya know. I ask what's wrong with him.
They tell me there's no word yet but nothing wrong with my dog. No respect, I'm telling ya, no respect.

Hi all -
I was following a recipe for something called a "Carolina Load" for my 6.5CM, except I wanted to use H4831 instead of the H4831SC that was suggested. This is my first time reloading anything, and I don't yet know a lot about various different powders (except from a chart of fast vs. slow burners), but this particular recipe called for 44.3gr of the H4831SC.
I also realized that I bought the wrong bullet for the recipe, but I figured the overall fitment between the two might be minimal, so I proceeded (I have a Hornady 140 gr ELD Match, instead of the suggested 140 gr SST).
Long story short...I cannot fit 44.3 gr of powder in the case, and still install the bullet to COL of 2.800". It's such a compressed load that the bullet cannot be seated that deep and the bullet is mildly damaged when I attempt to seat it at that COL.
Is the physical shape of the power's granule quite different between these two powders? Is the Short Cut powder much smaller in size? I can't find a lot of information about the powder differences.
Thanks!

Looking to buy a Sikes Clutch from one of you Professionals! Would like to spend $ based on the condition of yours.
Now that the 2024 season is done, I'm hoping someone is refreshing their rig and got one to sell me. A current timestamp pic would help.

I'll be doing most updates on my FB page so feel free to follow there but I've also copied all the initial data below.


Some of you may know that I had a reamer made to neck down the new 300PRC to 7mm to see what it would do. I.e. A 7-300prc . I got it back from Alamo Precision Rifles on Friday and was able to put about 30 rounds on it so far and the results are impressive. The case shape and length provides some added benefits over the 28 nosler imo. Speed wise it seems to me that it can easily match or beat the 28 nosler with less effort and lower pressure loads. The 28 nosler advertises it can run a 175 around 3125 and but I'm hearing guys say 195s at 3140-3150 with faster powders and in sure this is a warm if not hot load. I'm curently pushing 184 bergers at 3175 with a slow powder and zero pressure and the Barrel isnt even broken in yet. At these speeds it should already run a 195 at 3140-3150 and also no pressure.I played with it a bit over the weekend using retumbo and 8133 and with 82gn 8133 which is a slightly compressed load, Im at 3173 avg with an SD of 4.5 with 184 hybrid. Barrel is a 28" Hawk Hill Custom No pressure even with water test. For those that dont know, the water test is pouring water on the case to simulate shooting in rain and if you have a hot load you'll blow primers and get a locked up or hard to open bolt in a heartbeat. I had zero issues and it opened like a normal round. Retumbo is a bit faster still no pressure. This thing is stupid light recoil for the speeds. My original goal with this was to push a 180 pill at a mild 3100-3150 with a powder that gave me almost full case fill and no pressure and it seems to be working spot on for that. Ill post more as I keep testing. brass life test with the same load made it to 7 firings before I had indications of loose primer and thinning case web. I think with something like RL26 or H1000 you could probably push a 180 in the high 3200s to mid 3300s or a 195 around 3200 without being too hot of a load.

Update 1 - 7x firings with 81.4 of 8133 was averaging 3155 with the 184. Everything felt good until the last resize and primer went in pretty easy. Checked the case and saw the faint line of death around the base. Checked the inside and you can feel it getting thin. I wouldnt push it past 5 to be safe depending on your load.

Also realized the Hornady 300 PRC sizing dies are no good. They dont size far enough to the base at all even if you push a piece back to factory dimensions. Hornady you better check your PRC dies or you're going to have a lot of people pissed off they have a sticky bolt on any reloads because your dies arent sizing enough. They arent even changing the dimensions of the case anywhete close to the base from a fired piece to resized . I thought they were sizing way to easy for such a large case and now we know why. They need fixed ASAP.

Update 2 - Between the seating die being a bad design imo which also doesnt work with a Forester Co-AX without chopping down the seating stem, the fact that the sizer doesnt size properly or that the hole diameter for the bushing is massively oversized and causes crazy amounts of neck runout unless you teflon tape the bushing, I'm done with the Hornady "Match Grade" dies. Unfortunately they were the only ones making PRC dies when I needed to get them. I'll probably give them away at some point or maybe do something really silly with them out of frustration. I spoke to Dan Warner today at Warner Tool Company and I'm going to have him make me a set of custom dies. If you havent seen their custom dies, they truly are a work of art with no comparison. I've been considering a set of his dies for a while now and finally going to pull the trigger.

Just wondering about POA/POI repeatability or any carbon lock issues.

For what it’s worth to anyone on the fence about buying an Impact 4000, they are well worth it! For long range varmint/coyote/medium game hunting while solo, they are a game changer in speed of engagement. Also, not that it needs to be said, but Scott @ Vortex is THE MAN! That is all, carry on gents.

$ shipped US FFL to FFL. 20in tactical barrel. 20moa rail. No name muzzle brake. Accutrigger. Great shooter. 400-500 rounds.

I hate shopping for glasses, was just at Costco, they didn't have any frames I like. Too much goofy shit, and brand names on the sides that were like billboards. I don't want to be a walking advertisement, just something simple and elegant.

Any good places to buy glasses? Any good all American brands? I'd rather not support Luxxotica if I don't have to.

Shopping for glasses is one of my least favorite things to do, perhaps there's some good all American companies that have good frames that I can support.

Where do you guys get your glasses?

Hey everyone. Glad to be a part of the hive. There’s so much knowledge here to soak up. I’ve been shooting for several years but just recently started taking it seriously and trying to hone my skills.

I look forward to learning everything I can here!

Hello. New user here. Am interested in learning more about SVD Dragunovs, mainly the pre-1991 Soviet military Izhevsk models. I've been collecting cold war era US militaria and now am hoping to expand to the russkie stuff. Can anyone point me to books, articles, websites and the like so that I can begin my journey on developing at least a modest amount of expertise on this subject? Thanks!

Full Disclosure: I'm posting this to elevate my authenticity on here and hopefully be considered real enough for someone to sell me their used stuff.

I dove headfirst into LR in March of this year. After a series of "poor" decisions based upon perceived low cash flow, I'm finally on my third rifle. Anybody that says, "money can't buy skill", is full of shit. They never shot a real sub 1/4 MOA anything. As with anyone afflicted by the LR bug, I strive daily to be better. I can't thank all the contributors to this site enough. Other than from members of my club Gunline Shooting, I have learned the majority of this craft right here on SH. So, Thank You!

I have some misc 308 ammo. Full box of 168gr federal match, full box of 150gr power point, 3 20rd boxes of nato ammo, and one mix box with a few of 168gr federal and a few that I’m not sure.
Total 118 rounds
Looking for 140 shipped obo
Or trade for match 22lr ammo

I found the solution to our problem. The mini o rings under the rmr plate are watch size O rings. The size is 3.6X1.7X0.8 ring. Unfortunately You have to buy a whole box of watch o rings to get the right size but it comes with plenty in that size if you lose them. I didn’t have any when I bought mine and the screws kept coming loose. The problem is now fixed and the screws are not backing out

Just passing on the information to pass to others.
