    Hunting & Fishing Using a shooting stick in a blind

    I use a shooting stick a lot at night hunting coyotes, so I carried mine to a deer stand a couple years ago planning to coyote hunt after I got out of my stand. While sitting in the stand it occurred to me that the stick might make it easier to shoot well out of a stand. If you find that long...

    CFE223 and 208 AMAX .308 with great results !

    Re: CFE223 and 208 AMAX .308 with great results ! Nice results. Made me go look into this powder as I did not realize it would be good for that heavy bullet in 308.Your measurement looks conservative as it looks close to one bullet diameter center to center to me. I need to try this in 6BR...

    Sartorius GD 503 Scale

    Re: Sartorius GD 503 Scale It is a great tool if you want to know weight of your charge down to the granule of powder.I keep a 155 smk beside mine to check with. It weighs 154.885.If it varies it will be by a few thousandths of a grain and will correct back by zeroing instantly.Very quick and...

    .223 and .308 powder

    Re: .223 and .308 powder WC846 is a military surplus powder that works for both and is inexpensive.Also reported to increase barrel life. The powder looks and meters like H335. It is recommended to use BLC2 load guidelines but mine is a little hotter so don't start with max BLC2 loads...

    Sizing Die for each Rifle?

    Re: Sizing Die for each Rifle? I have three 6 Dasher barrels. They are all fairly close in tolerances, but what I did was mark the threads of the full length die with a magic marker and then keep notes on which was long or short. I measure the shoulder to confirm the adjustment but it seems...

    Primer Pin Whole

    Re: Primer Pin Whole Did you try seating a new primer back into the case which had a pierced primer? If the primer pocket is now loose then I think the load was hot enough to stretch the pocket over multiple firings . If the pocket is still tight I would be more likely to buy defect. The...

    Lapua .308 Palma Brass?

    Re: Lapua .308 Palma Brass? I am using Palma brass in my 308. Switched because of loose primer pockets in my regular Lapua brass.I had some hangfires with wc846 (like blc2), but I was able to cure that with Rem 7 1/2 primers if I want to shoot that powder. Oddly my load went from 47.0...

    First Time @ 500 yards...

    Re: First Time @ 500 yards... Good job.Once you get a gun that you know can hit at long distance it is very addicting.If those were dialed in cold bore shots then you did very well. You did fine even if it took a few sighters to get on.

    Rifle Scopes nightforce not returning to zero

    Re: nightforce not returning to zero OK, I just had a glass of homemade wine so my brain is in simpleton mode,but if it does this consistently then rezero the the elevation turret to the 1 minute low impact point and crank in your elevation from there. Maybe with another glass of wine I can...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50

    Re: Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 I have one on a 223 AI shooting 52 gr in a slow twist barrel .I can get to 600 which is about as far as I need for that setup but it does not have enough elevation to get to 1000. Even if it did the wind would blow the bullet to the next county so there is no...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 12 X 42 optics

    Re: Nightforce 12 X 42 optics I think it has a lot to do with what you want to do with the scope.If you are shooting pennies at 200 yds you will likely be very happy with the 12x42.I had one on my 308 that I use deer hunting and it was frustrating as finding your target can be hard if you are...

    300 REMINGTON ULTRA MAG

    Re: 300 REMINGTON ULTRA MAG If you like muzzle blast , recoil, and short barrel life , it is a great long range caliber. I own one and I like it, but it is not a very practical high volume round. If you are just getting started in long range shooting, I would encourage you to consider...
