Re: Sako Extractor Issues? Any luck? I'm having the same problem, right down to the clambering and make of brass.

Re: 208 Amax @ 2500fps I've never killed an elk. But there have been enough elk killed with green box rem core-lokts out of a .270 to fill up mile high stadium! I'd load me up some 150 ttsx or vld's and have it.

Re: recommend a neck runout/turning tool? Thanks all. I knew i had read about one, I think it is the Hornady one.

Re: Idaho Archery bull down! great looking bull. a bull with a bow looks like the biggest adrenaline rush this side of dangerous game. public land?

Re: Duck calls? While im here geese too and pass on the goose calls for now. they take lots of air and a lot better technique than duck calls. there are tons of youtube videos on duck calling. as far as hunting, finding where the birds want to be, and staying still is a lot more important...

Re: Duck calls? While im here geese too i've got, and have had lots of calls. i find myself using a cheap double reed duck commander call as much as an RNT or Echo. it's got lots of rasp and sounds really good at a lower volume. i think the double reed calls are easier for a beginner...

Re: Reading the wind for beginners i don't have as much experience as some, but for me the direction seems to be a lot harder to call (and more important) than the speed. as far as shooting in conditions where the wind is doing one thing close in, another half way to the target, and yet...

Re: How should I judge my best group during load devel if i have a couple that show promise, i shoot 5 shot groups. in my experience, a 5 shot group will often make things clearer. i also like having a buddy shoot a couple groups also. i have one that i know is a great trigger puller, and...

i'm looking for a tool that will measure neck run-out and then correct it. anybody have any recommendations on something like that?

Re: Fast on Steel i can't comment on a lot of this, but if there's any sub $1000 scope out there with discernibly better glass than the vortex pst, i'd be surprised. you will not be giving up any "glass quality". i also agree about the BDC scope. IMO it's better to learn mil or moa, get a...

Re: To MOA base or Not to MOA base...that is the ? what caliber, load, and scope? i shoot a 6br to 1000y with a vortex pst and have plenty of elevation. i'm sighted in dead on at 100y. but like the other guys said, if you are buying a base, buy a 20 and you won't have to worry. probably...

Re: Good Guy List SOCAL is extra good to go. communicated all the way through, sent tracking numbers, etc. professionally packed item, item arrived better than described.

Re: Build Vs. Modify you just have to decide if you a DIY kind of person or not, and if you're capable of pulling a project like this off. you won't really save any money either way. one way you'll have the satisfaction of having done a lot of the work yourself, the other way you won't have...

Re: Need ladder test help don't mean to be rude here, i'm just trying to help. no offense meant... are you weighing your powder or throwing it? looks to me like you may have some reloading inconsistencies. or you have a scope/mounts that won't hold zero. or you have a faulty shooting...

Re: remington DBM, feed rails, and after market stocks will do. the rifle is not even in my possession yet, but i have the stock from another one just like it.
