    Do you reload or work on guns in the garage?

    Re: Do you reload or work on guns in the garage? I do both and fortunately have a separate 18k btu heat pump for the man cave. We get serious humidity here in Central Alabama. On nice days I open the 8X20 front door and the 10X8 rear door for a breeze. A few shots of the cave: Mitsubishi...

    Suppressors New gun or thread barrel

    Re: New gun or thread barrel Thanks for all the great info folks.. I'm mulling it all over. Since I probably won't shoot this gun much except on Racoons will most likely just get the barrel threaded. I did send an email into Lilja to see what they can do. I remember them from back in my...

    Suppressors New gun or thread barrel

    Been wanting to try a suppressor and currently have a CZ 455 in .17hmr. This rifle has had maybe 30 rounds through it. Would it be best to have the barrel threaded or simply purhcase a suppressor ready .17 such as the one from Savage? Thanks

    Hunting & Fishing Feral Hog Hunting

    Re: Feral Hog Hunting I watched videos of folks killing hogs with a .17hmr so what does that tell you? Shot placement is everything. The three that I've killed here in Central Alabama were all shot with a 25-06 using a 100gr Nosler Partition at 3200fps. Dropped them all in their tracks...

    Hunting & Fishing God Damn Ticks

    Re: GOD DAMN TICKS There is a test for Lyme Disease.. I took it years ago and was negative although I had some symptoms. Was pretty sure only a brown tick but had a weird ring around it and had achy joints. Ended up doing a round of Augmentin anyway. The area where I pig hunt is eat up...

    I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308

    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 Perfect.. a bump gage would have shown this immediately. Sounds like your chamber gage is very different from your gun chamber. If you get a bump gage measure a factory unfired piece of brass.. then measure one fired from your gun...

    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 Protoolsnerd, do you have a bump gage for your brass? I used to have this issue very early in my reloading years and never really understood why. I only neck sized not realizing the shoulders were pushing forward each time. After...

    Hunting & Fishing Central Alabama pigs

    Re: Central Alabama pigs There were six originally and I was able to get two. Alabama is quickly becoming a pig zone.. I'm amazed how close these are living to housing subdivisions etc.. Interestingly enough I had left the shooting house because the feeder did not go off. Was heading...

    260 Brass made from unobtanium?

    Re: 260 Brass made from unobtanium? BoilerUp, Sounds reasonable.. I've heard/read how they dropped the 260 marketing wise. I find it hilarious the rifle is now more popular than ever. Gary

    260 Brass made from unobtanium?

    Re: 260 Brass made from unobtanium? Interesting about the Lapua versus Win 7mm-08 brass. Shot my best group with it. Just proves each rifle is different.
