    What walking stick IS a walking stick

    I am handicapped and am planning a hunt in New Mexico, so I want to have a walking stick, that I can also shoot off of. I have a couple of the Primos trigger sticks, but they specifically state that they are not to be used as walking sticks, plus one of my two, occasionally 'collapses' on it's...

    Trying to finish up...what else do I still need?

    Hey brother, like others have said, it looks like your off to a good start. On trimmers, I have a bunch of them, A Giraud, a Wilson/Sinclair ultimate, a couple of the WFT's, and the Lee system with many lock studs. As a general rule I don't like lee products, but two exceptions to that are the...

    Puttting powder in other containers, what kind and who sells

    And now for something completely different! A direct answer to the OP's question. Sinclair/Brownells and others sell empty powder containers for use with powder measures. The ones I have bought are a milky white plastic with a screw on top, kinda translucent.... I think these would serve you...

    Can you mount an Alas bipod on a sling swivel stud

    Nevada, thanks for the link, problem I see with the adapter is it prohibits folding the legs back at all. I was hoping for something more elegant for my TRG...I've ordered the Blackhawk swivel to rail adapter, and another one I can't recall the name of--I'll see how they work, I've got a sling...

    Can you mount an Alas bipod on a sling swivel stud

    Thanks for the intel guys, this confirmed what I thought. I still think Atlas would be well served to figure out a design that would allow mounting as a Harris. I have ordered both the rail kit and a Atlas with the QD lever mount. I now have to decide which rifle to rig it to. I also have a TRG...

    Can you mount an Alas bipod on a sling swivel stud

    From what I can tell you have to have a pic rail to mount the Atlas bipod to your rifle. I was just curious if there is any way to mount it to a 'regular' rifle that has a sling swivel stud like you can with a Harris. If there isn't I hereby advise Kasey to figure out a way, there are a lot of...

    Advice for a new long range hunting rifle build

    First of all, I am a crazy mad 270 fan. I have 13 different ones. I also own 2 280 AI's and quite a few others, 7 mag, 7 Dakota, 308's etc. That said I prefer my 270's for hunting. I have taken all the game you list, with a 270 and it sure ain't lacking on killing power. I typically use 140 gr...

    Empty chamber indicators

    Guys, thanks. Sniperdude, I hadn't thought of looking at Sinclair, GhostRanger, that's a good McGuyver, I'll try that in the short term.

    Empty chamber indicators

    I'm looking for recommendations on good quality empty chamber indicators. I've looked on Midway USA and didn't see any that I thought were good. Looking for suggestions, recommendations.

    Newbie to reloading. Tumbling brass vs ultrasound cleaning

    All said on the SS pins, bottom line is nothing cleans the whole case as well. I have all three, vibratory, ultrasonic and SS pin system. Drying the cases is no big deal IMO, I just lay them out on a towel overnight and they are gtg the next morning. Ultrasonic does not clean the inside of the...

    Deburring the flash hole.

    I'll simply say that I typically load in increments of 50 cases, and early on, like 15 years ago, I shot a group of 50 cases at 300 yards, just looking for overall group sizes. I shot the same group of 50 cases with all the same load specs, after deburring all 50 cases, and they grouped tighter...

    Gunsmithing 30-06 to 300 Norma

    Bohem, thanks for the intel. The second group of fixes may say this project is a no go. I have several .06 length Sako actions, and an unshot Sako .06 barrel--thus my inquiry.

    Gunsmithing 30-06 to 300 Norma

    I am looking for input from those who know, what is involved with re-chambering a 30-06 barrel to 300 Norma.

    Gunsmithing 30-06 to 300 wsm

    Thanks for that feedback, if you actually have to remove enough of the chamber to erase the 06 completely, then I don't think it's feasible. I just want to do something with this takeoff I've ended up with, and I don't want an 30-06.

    Gunsmithing 30-06 to 300 wsm

    I have happened into a takeoff 30-06 barrel-unused-and wanted to know about the ability of re-chambering it to 300 WSM? Thanks for any feed back.

    Electronic Scale voodoo ?

    Rprecision, yes I do find my Chargemaster to be a good bit faster than my Pact setup was. And as I mentioned, not having to go through the powder calibration every time, is really nice. I do check my CM with check weights frequently, which goes super quick, and otherwise it is a good bit faster...

    Electronic Scale voodoo ?

    I think what you are learning is the reality of the internet. I feel that about 90% of so called issues are either made up or people just piling on. One thing to remember about all the so called inaccuracies of digital scales, is that virtually all serious laboratory measuring is done on digital...
