    .204 Barrel Length

    Re: .204 Barrel Length I have two 204s - one with a 26 inch barrel and the other with a 22. The 22 is my night hunting/calling rig. It is much nicer for treks to those 'back in there' sets and long nights of calling. Those shots tend to be a bit shorter anyway so the velocity loss is not...

    Why not a lot of chatter about 30-378?

    Re: Why not a lot of chatter about 30-378? My father has a 30-378 that I have shot quite a bit, done load development for and hunted with. It is a very nice gun, very hard hitting and if you hit any animal with it, the shock it delivers really puts them down hard. On the other hand, it is...

    Need H-570 info

    Re: Need H-570 info Are you referring to N570 from VihtaVuori? If you are and know where to get some, I would love to hear as I have been looking to get my hands on some of that powder for two years. As far as I know, none has been imported into the US to this point.

    4831SC

    Re: 4831SC While I do not reload for a .260, I do believe that 4831 is likely a little slow for it. 4831 is better suited to cartridges with higher capacity.

    Always wear glasses while pulling bullets

    Re: Always wear glasses while pulling bullets +1 on the collet puller. Admittedly, it is a pain to change out the die if you are in the middle of a run but if you have more than one to do, it is quicker and tidier. I am not sure how some people who reload have never had to pull bullets. I...

    7WSM minimum bbl length?

    Re: 7WSM minimum bbl length? I will admit to knowing very little on my own, but I was steered in the direction of 25" minimum by someone very knowledgeable. That is on a 7mm/300 WSM. I do not have the gun in hand yet so I cannot provide any direct feedback.

    Re: RL 17 in my 7/300 WSM I am looking forward to the arrival of mine: 700 LA, 25 in Broughton 5C w/ FB brake, Badger BM in an a5 stock. I am getting all of my reloading components gathered up and ready to put it through its paces.

    RL 17 in my 7/300 WSM

    Re: RL 17 in my 7/300 WSM What are the specs on your 7/300? I have one in the works and am wondering how my 25" barrel length will compare to what you are getting. I am planning on shooting the 180 gr Berger VLDs.

    Hunting & Fishing Coyote with a specialty pistol

    Re: Coyote with a specialty pistol That is a great setup and an awesome shot! Can you give me some insight as to how you shoot with the short eye relief scope on a handgun. I have an SP in 300 WSM and I have a Burris scope on it that I am not particularly in love with. It would be great to...

    Rifle Scopes Optic for shotgun?

    Re: Optic for shotgun? I have the Leupold prismatic 1x on my Benelli SBE. It is really a nice setup for deer hunting. It makes for a nice compromise between a scoped gun for stand hunting/longer range and open sights for brush/driving. I have only hunted with it one season so far but...

    Hunting & Fishing Good light weight hunting rifles

    Re: Good light weight hunting rifles A couple of my relatives I hunt with frequently run Tikkas and they are very nice rifles. Lightweight, tend to be very accurate and have nice stock triggers. I run a Weatherby Ultralightweight that came out of their custom shop and I am in love with...

    Rifle Scopes Premier 5-25x, Prepaid Orders, Delivery Status

    Re: Premier 5-25x, Prepaid Orders, Delivery Status Thanks for keeping us up to date. From everything out there so far, it looks like those of us who ordered early put our trust in the right place. Can't wait to see my scope and that $100 may just go towards adding a PR 3-15 to the stable as...

    HS Precision Short Tactical Rifle

    Re: HS Precision Short Tactical Rifle Very nice rifle. I have an HS Precision rifle as well as a bolt handgun and both are phenomenal shooters for being primarily hunting guns. I find their finish and appearance to be top notch as well. The camo on yours is a great choice - love it.
