    Why do people load so hot?

    With age we learn to quit drinking so much and quit loading so damn much powder in our cases.

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    1) I expect that to get really good shoulder bump consistency and a minimal bump, a normal sizing die and normal press are just not enough. That setup is really designed for running the die down to the shell holder which is a lot more than .002 bump. There is a lot of stretch in most presses...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    How far are you ranging and how often are you getting hits without the extenders? I want to be sure I'm understanding the problem correctly, especially in an ELR context. I am concerned with both these reports. I found no noticeable impact on ranging function with the extenders in the...

    Vector X bino harness

    I just tried out the 10x vector X in my marsupial non-magnetic (2021 bungee version I love not "new" version I dislike. I'm very happy they brought the original back, it is awesome and I will probably order another now) The 10x binos are a little too big for the "small" marsupial. I expect that...

    I still can't believe how well my Vudoo .22 feeds. At this point it has seen many, many thousands of rounds in both a GrayBoe stock + bottom metal and an MDT XRS chassis. With the plastic Vudoo mags it continues to feed all the different ammo (lapua, eley, eley CMP, CCI, aguila) that I regularly...

    Gunsmithing Question about marks on shoulder/neck and bore shoulder

    1) The dents on the shoulder appear to be from the brass hitting the brass deflector while being ejected. This is pretty common on AR rifles. Depending on the exact rifle and it's specific timing, those dents won't always be in the same place but they are typically in that area. I suspect the...

    2025 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: More 350L, Garmin and Athlon Chronos, Leopold Mark 4HD, BurstFire, Field Optics Research, videos and visits

    Update 6-16-2025 The Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18x52 arrived a couple days ago for review. I have been thinking about doing an unboxing video more or less as content padding for YouTube. Since I wanted to talk a little about my thoughts on the Mark 5HD I reviewed a few years ago relative to this...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    OMG, that is hilarious. The number of periods........ I can feel his frustration. I have to feel for gun companies when it comes to apps. In almost all cases these apps are contracted by the gun company with a third party software company and these software companies seem to have a very silicon...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Wow, those are some very, very, close results. 2.3 fps average difference between the "slowest" and "fastest" of the devices. From a curiosity standpoint, It would be interesting to know which is the closest to the true result though it hardly seems that this knowledge would have any real world...

    Vudoo closed the doors…

    So, I've been following this Vudoo mess a few days now since it showed up on my radar. Wow, sure have learned a lot about how things ran at Vudoo between this and Mike's thread. Since, like everybody else, I couldn't seem to get a hold of the Vudoo people I contacted Three Sigma manufacturing...

We discuss some of the specific design decisions that go into making an action and the reasoning behind those. We also talk about the changes the design of Kelbly’s...

    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    This is the factory tour video I mentioned. In it me and Ian go through the factory and see where everything is mentioned while talking both generalities and specifics on how that manufacture is done. There is also a second video I should have up soon where we sit down and talk about specific...

    2025 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: More 350L, Garmin and Athlon Chronos, Leopold Mark 4HD, BurstFire, Field Optics Research, videos and visits

    Update 5-14-2025 As mentioned, I am planning to do a number of site visits to some of the Ohio based manufacturers of precision rifle products this summer. The first of these is with Kelbly’s who I have known for 15 years dating back to a review of a March 1-10x rifle scope I did back when...

    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    I have a few thoughts. First off, thanks for stepping in and providing a source for parts kits and the cost effective poly magazines. I'm sure I'm not alone in intending to continue to run my Vudoo indefinitely. Without question it is the rifle I shoot the most and enjoy the most. .22lr just...
