    Need help with trim length for 243 Ackley

    I have a Winchester model 70 with CRF that bug holes installed a bartlien 3b barrel on. I just got through fire forming all the lapua brass I had on hand and I went through and measured each case. This was brand new brass. I loaded the rounds where the bullet was touching the lands using close...

    Any recommendations on what to use for 243 Ackley with 105 Berger now that R23 is gone

    Thanks. I have worn out the load data from 6mm br. I have a printed copy in my bench and it shows the signs of dirty fingers going through the pages. Seems like I will try some h4831sc. I also have some Imr 4831. I think I have some Retumbo and magnum in my stash

    Thank you. I can’t find Reloder anywhere. R23 is a great load in my gun.

    Any recommendations on what to use for 243 Ackley with 105 Berger now that R23 is gone

    I need some recommendations for a replacement powder for my 243 ackley. Bartlien 1/8 barrel. I was using R23 but loaded my last grain this morning. Using 105 Berger hybrid bullets. It’s been a while since I did any research on this caliber but I would like to be between 3100-3200 fps without...

    Tankless water heater? Any experience?

    I have had both. Rinnai powered by gas - won’t get scalding hot like a tank but it never bothered us. Small and no issues in the 5 years I had it. For a 3,000 sf house with 2 young kids it was fine (9 & 10 1/2). Gas bill went down 50%. My new house has 2 big Rheem tank heaters powered by gas...

    Precision Rifle Gear Is the Garmin Xero still the Whiz Bang Chrono to get? Is there a new(er) model coming this year?

    The Garmin is by far the biggest upgrade I have seen in the shooting world in a while. (when compared to the other chronos I owned in the past). It is so much easier to use than the others it will blow your mind. I even got mine to pick up shotgun shots.

    Recommend me a bark collar.

    I had a couple of cheap ass pet safe bark collars that worked good when I had Brittany Spaniel’s. The only problem was you could not have an underground fence collar on the dog at the same time. The colars would hit each other and it would set the bark collar off. I always wondered why they...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    Mine has been flawless on rifles( sun and supersonic) and bows. It missed a few shots this weekend from my 20 gauge turkey gun. I might have had it pointed wrong ( I was shooting down a slope but the table was level). Not the end of the world. I propped the ba l leg up on the case and it...

    Need a Solution to "I'll take it"

    The problem is no matter what you do the scammers will come up with a new scheme. Other than using a 3 rd party company to hold the money until the item is delivered (which nobody wants to mess with) I don’t think you can eliminate it. People just have to pay attention and be smart. I got...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    No joke. In my early days of reloading (16) I managed to bust up 2 shooting crony’s with my 300 wby. I thought I hit it big when I got a pact. But damn you could only use it when the sun was out and you could get a good shadow. Then I got a magneto speed which I loved except for the damn...

    Subsonic Stability Testing

    I don’t know if this helps but I have a Remington 700 sbs with a 12 inch barrel. Douglas 1/8 twist in 300 whisper. It shoots leighigh’s fine but I switched to 220 grain outlaw state exot. I get great groups with the outlaw state on deer and on paper. 3/4 inch when I do my part at 100. I get...
