Looking at adding another cheap backup knife to my kill kit. I've been using a havalon piranta for years with the 60A and 70A blades and I absolutely love it but want to have backup for just in case. Majority of my gutting, skinning, etc is deer, beer, and hog. Been looking at the Mora knives...

Got some reloader 16 to burn up and wanted to test it in my tikka 6.5 creed with a 142 ABLR. Not much data out there on this combo so does anyone have some data they would share for expectations? Alliant shows ~43-43.6gr as max with 140 class bullets and Hornady brass but Lapua brass usually...

Got a pound of this Alliant 1200-R and planned on using it as an easy to meter powder for 40 gr vmax in 22-250. Only data available is the alliant website which lists 40gr nosler BT. Has anyone got any experience here? Or any load data other than the alliant?

Went groundhog hunting for the first time a while ago and had an absolute blast. Used my coyote/fox rifle I built for medium range hunting out to ~300yds (26" Rem700). Rifle did great and the handloads are stellar with berger 52 gr hp. I ran into a slight issue with the scope tho, there wasn't...

I have an opportunity to buy a Model 70 in 7mm WSM. Thing is I do not know much about them. Can someone help me figure up its worth and manufacturer date? I read about a cheaper model 70 called super shadow in 7wsm and not sure if this is it. It has been cerakote in silver/gray. Maybe hs...

As much as I love KG3 aerosol degreaser, it's getting hard to find and expensive. I was in the auto parts store and found some CRC pro strength degreaser. Water based degreaser just like kg3 at half the price. Has anyone ever used this on their firearms? It's supposedly an "all purpose" safe to...

Has anyone let a rifle that is cerakoted, soak in evaporust? Didn't know if the evaporust would harm the the coating.

Anybody use birch butcher block for a reloading table top? Found some at local home depot and thinking of using it for a flat, sturdy, heavy top. Pros, cons?

I've had a problem with the factory Lee decapping pin hanging up on case mouths when the case isn't perfectly aligned. So I chuck it up in the drill and contoured it fairly nicely with a file and sand paper. Question is, does anyone make a decapping pin to fit the Lee die that has a similar...

So I noticed something this evening while I was replacing my factory rem 700 trigger with a TT primary. First off I have 3 rem 700's that all wear different triggers (factory, timney, TT) Today while replacing the factory trigger with the TT primary, I was dry firing and adjusting. I noticed...

Looking for a general list of bullets that any of you use for coyote's. I use the AR in the tight wooded areas with shots around 150yds and in. Rifle is a BCM 1/7" twist, 16" barrel. I tend to keep hides if I can. Looking at some berger 55gr varmint possibly or the sierra 55 blitz. Let's hear...

Just wanted to get a second opinion here if possible. Heading to the range tomorrow to retune my 16" 3gun blaster with a JP scs, low mass bcg, and SA gas block. I was under the impression that I should put the lightest spring (white 80%) in the standard JP scs and then tune the gas for my...

Anyone have pictures of their Tikka with LRI high helix pattern "A"? Sending mine off tomorrow to get all prettied up!

Almost bought a set of 6.5 creedmoor dies today at a bargain price but wanted to get some information first. Does anyone run Hornady custom grade 6.5 creedmoor dies on a "newer" forster coax, with the forster aluminum lock rings? Reason for the question is, I have a set of these dies in...

Getting ready to put another rifle together for this huntin season. Got a tikka t3x lite so we are trying to keep this as light as possible. Looking for an optic with illumination and possiby around the 16-20oz mark. I took a look at the Leupold vx3-hd/vx5-hd, and vortex razor lht hd and they...

Does anyone have experience with Forster custom honed seating stems? I need one for my Ultra micrometer die to fit the 105 berger hybrid better than the factory stem does. Looking for suggestions!

Finally loaded up some lapua 308 tonight. My Lyman book states that IMR 4895 with 178 gr. Amax has a Max of 42gr. Would it be safe to load H4895 with 178 ELD Match up to that max? Does anyone load this combo?

Hello all. Finally purchased some new 308 lapua brass and a Sinclair Mandrel die body. Thought it would be a good idea to finally try out the Neck Turning Mandrel with straightening out some dinged Lapua cases (dinged from shipping) after I lubed the Mandrel with imperial sizing wax I noticed...

I'd like to hone the inside of my Hornady Custom seating stem. It's putting that God awful ring on my SMK's. So I'm going to sacrifice a bullet to spin up in a drill and fit it properly. What honing compound have you guys used to do this with?

Just ordered a SWFA 10x42 for my new rem 700 in 308. I have a couple of questions. 1. What scope base do you recommend? 2. What rings are you guys using ? 3. What height rings are you using? I'm going more budget friendly on this build. Pictures would be awesome if you have some!!
