    375 and 338 Enabler loads.

    Not a lot of solid data here, a search turns up some contentious opinions but not good data. Will be loading 407 Berger solids in the 375, and 300 jacketed Bergers in the 338, Petersen brass. Would appreciate hearing from those who have been there. PM me if you are uncomfortable posting loads...

    Pappy Boyington

    Cool indeed, raise a glass to all men who go above and beyond. You just gotta smile at the bit that claims his health improved during captivity, due to staying off the booze!

    Found a Mega Fudd in the wild.

    And the subsequent epicyclic yaw moments therefore induced, solved! 🤣

    Ever eaten dog?

    Have not intentionally eaten fido in years of work and recreational travel around the world, but it’s possible I did but didn’t know it. Folks gotta get their protein somehow… Had a stir fried rat dish in northern Thailand a few weeks ago, actually delicious to my surprise. Enough garlic and...

    Mysterious outbreak in China

    Had similar one week ago here in Aus, no nasal symptoms first though just the snot. No change in diet or routine, just oysters, and less energy, and thirstier than usual. Weird.

    I wonder who fingered this criminal…

    Quiet day for LE there I guess. Dealing with the low hanging fruit once again…..

    I’ve seen it advertised.

    Rifle Scopes Clean reticle options

    If you dial everything, kinda doesn’t matter. Either will be fine, down to personal preference of features of each scope, elevation travel etc etc.

    Get Woke Go Broke a case study: Peloton in free fall

    Some astute analysis cheers Sirhr. Here in Australia, the ads are different but the same… I have zero marketing or advertising experience, my impression is they are trying to sell a social experience along with a shitty device. ‘Come join our gang, it will be fun’. Are people so devoid of...

    Tripod shopping, what to look for in a shooting tripod?

    Another vote for RRS hardware on any high quality carbon fibre tripod. Can’t believe how much more consistent I am with this setup over a saddle, especially if assisted with a sling to the fore end.

    For the Love of God, GI Joe and John Wayne.... cleaning and abrasive cleaners

    I vaguely remember Gary Costello in the UK telling me something along those lines. Every time a one of his F rifles gets a new barrel, it goes to a proof house for a couple of hot loads before it’s GTG.

    For the Love of God, GI Joe and John Wayne.... cleaning and abrasive cleaners

    Thankyou so much for posting this sir. I have worn out many, many of your barrels with great success, (shooting not cleaning), never had an average one let alone a bad one. The target doesn’t lie. I watch BR guys at the range with disbelief some days, constantly raping their barrels with all...

    Major Factor in Primer Seating Depth Variability

    Na, just sharing empirical evidence of a relatively meaningless statistical sample of one unique combination of components that happens to work. You watch TV?

    Major Factor in Primer Seating Depth Variability

    There are many, many tools and obsessive techniques in loading ammunition, that fail to deliver real world results on target. Ive largely given up having discussions at ranges with people about this; just let the target do the talking.

    Major Factor in Primer Seating Depth Variability

    Subsequent testing with the correct small rifle primer seating mandrel, and seating primer to bottom of pocket, and various depths in between, produced inferior results. With that particular combination of rifle and components, best results were consistently achieved with the primer seated...

    Major Factor in Primer Seating Depth Variability

    Many of you may not like the following. Years ago I purchased a 21st Century hand priming tool, but only with the large primer seating mandrel. Used it to seat small primers in Lapua 6.5 x47 cases, and of course found the primers ended up flush with the base of the case. With no time to...

    Sizing Dilemma

    Depending on witness marks, trimming for length and chamfering the inside and outside of the neck may help.

    Sizing Dilemma

    Some good suggestions above, but prompts more questions. I’ve had brass harden quickly after a few firings and ‘spring back‘ or resist sizing before I got an AMP annealer. Had to size for about 5 or 6 thou, to end up with 2 due to spring back effect on older brass. May I suggest pulling one of...

    WD 40 Who would have thunk it.

    We just need to add multi grips, and we’ve got a basic toolkit!
