    Yep, that would take the sharp off a chain for sure :-)

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    For sure. Especially watch stuff from a city; lots of nails, bolts, lags, bird feeder brackets, wire and such. More trouble than its worth.

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    Over the 20+ years we were in and around the business, we heard as many times from folks that were going to make their own mill. Only actually saw it once, done by a guy that made pallets; coincidentally a WWII vet that serviced bombers and a fricken wizard machinist, millwright. I was in...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    My Dad and I cut pallet stock on a circular in the 70s and 80’s. Most if it went for pallet stock. Over time we started buying more logs v. harvesting them ourselves. We took in some hardwood from an area near a large national guard training camp and hit several very hard and large...

    NEW - Atlas CAL (Cant and Loc) Bipod - PRE-ORDER (added 12.14)

    Much as I like the earlier Atlas, the no pan and pod-loc adjustment features looked like enough reason to try a lw-17.

    Good gear for a beginner?

    Dillon 550 all the way. I single load for precision rifle and load progressively for .223 and 9mm. Did some very simple mods to improve runout and seating length. Also bought a Scott Parker tuned 10-10 and love it. Tried the charge master and found it to be waaaay too slow. To each their...

    Rifle Scopes advice on scope for my new GAP gladius.

    Do you need the higher power for the range you’re shooting? I had an equivalent on my 308 and ended going back to a 3.5-15 nightforce F2. Can’t go wrong on either brand you mention though I am partial to Nightforce.

    Atlas bipod use

    The “pull it into yourself” part is very important for sure. I didn’t do this well early on and suffered lots of frustrating bipod hop ...

    Case Trimming

    I trimmed right in the middle of the saami spec with my 308. I run cases through the giraud every firing because I reload on a progressive.

    Got creative, made myself DOPE tables I won't be able to forget, lose or destroy.

    Very nice - thanks for sharing the idea.

    Most Accurate 6.5 Creedmoor out of the box?

    This is a great thread. Was close to pulling the trigger on a T-3 CTR but may now go Bergara.

    RRS VYCE or Hog Saddle

    Does the vyce open as wide as the PIG or HOG? Looks like all are made very well but it looked like the vyce wouldn’t open as wide.

    Flood gates getting opened turning the USA into California

    Hard to know what he’s doing. I hope this is a tit for tat thing to get this deportation and security measures going. His advisors must be very busy keeping up with him ...

    Annealing, how much is to much?

    Annealing is a softening process. As others have said, don’t overanneal and you’ll be fine. I do also after each firing with a bench source and have not any problems at all. Would suggest doing this step right after tumbling the cases clean so the heat tint can be seen.

    Off day question

    I’ll stop and think about what I’m doing v. what I should be doing. Normally, I just rushing or not practicing some aspect of marksmanship fundamentals.

    Practice when you have access to 1000yds?

    I take a couple close in and then move out to 700-800, then to 1000. Also work on different course of fire: two shots close, one far away in the best time. Fun to practice with two or three others...
