    Hunting & Fishing Would Ballistic for the iPod touch work on a hunt?

    Well, my dad and I got drawn for good deer tags this year. The altitude at our house/where we shoot is 2790. We will be hunting around 5000 (I think, give or take). Of course the temp and everything else is going to change. My question is would Ballistic be accurate enough out to 500-600 yards...

    Primer Question.

    Is it safe to use a de-primed primer again? They are new but the brass was pulled so I need to resize. I cant take the de-capping pin out of the Lee die i'm using.

    What rear bag do you guys with Pod Claws use? I don't want to buy a rear bag and it not be high enough. With the extra inch and a half you get with the Pod Claws I am worried a Red Tac or TAB will not be high enough. I am looking at the Red Tac Tactical pillow. Thanks, Rhett

    New rifle..... Pic heavy :D

    Got my new rifle on Sunday. Haven't had time to post anything on it, because all my free time goes into loading for it and shooting it. The rifle is a absolute tack driver. After re-zeroing I took it to 600 yards. The first shot was on a 17"x12" steel plate. Once I got my dope at that I took it...
