    Bear hunt blade

    Wow. That is impressive. I am a do-it-yourself kind of guy but have never made my own broad heads. Bears can see color and blue stands out for deer so I would pick a 'forest' color that matches the camo you will be wearing. I might also consider rounding the tip a little so it will not bend if...

    .30 06 H4350 or IMR4350

    57 grains of IMR 4350 is an accurate load with CCI primers and remington brass in mine and other rifles. That powder is so close to compressed I don't think temperature really matters. I use it in northern Ontario in Canada at temperatures near minus 40 and it has never failed to go bang. If...

    Bow recommendation?

    I try and get nicer equipment that I need because if I go cheap I almost always regret it....eventually. Buy something new but 1-2 model years old and you will save a lot. Also, don't get caught up in the hype of trying to go over 400 FPS. It usually gives poor accuracy and short limb life...

    Crossbows

    A lot of the compound bows have the anti-Dry fire safety devices. They are to prevent dry firing and breaking limbs. Those are tricky to try and decock manually and pose a safety issue if you try. They aren't designed to be decocked. The only safe way to easily decock your crossbow is to fire...

    Crossbows

    Hi Gtscotty, I was one of the last in the group to get a crossbow so I got to try Excalibur, Barnett and others. I liked the feel of the TP and a big plus is the ease of handling in a ground blind due to compact size, for example. The cocking is much easier than others and the cords wind up and...

    Leupold Customer Service? Anyone able to get a hold of them??

    I phoned them about some mounts and ring recommendations and got through no problem. A word of advice, don't wrap something up and send to a company without some some of reference number or return goods number or the receiver at that company won't know what to do with it or who to alert at...

    Crossbows

    Best is to check with the manufacturer. I called them about mine and they said it is okay to leave it over night once in a while. I bought a shooting block that is just slightly larger than 1 cubic foot to unload into it at the car when the ground is frozen. I also have one of those fiberglass...

    Filling the 6.5mm hole in my life

    I had the same question as the OP so I will be watching this one. I was going to get the 260 until I read about the CM and how the shoulder angle caused less lengthening of the case. I am a little hesitant with the CM as it is still not too common yet but I really wish it catches on. I have...

    Case neck turning

    Wow. I have never seen marks that bad on the inside of a case. If anyone had pictures it would be really interesting to see.

    Bought a Savage Axis as a project

    Jay south, New Weatherby rifles in 308 have faster twists. I believe they went from 1:12 to 1:10 about 4-5 months ago. They did this to accommodate the newer style of bullets. Best regards, Ron

    What exactly is CFE223

    No I didn't get copper fouling but was just curious since they came out with a product to eliminate it. If it was equivalent then I could use it. Guess I am a victim of good marketing? Also made me wonder why other powders don't have the same component as presumably it should do the same in...

    What exactly is CFE223

    Interesting. So it looks like they are trying to mop up the copper vapor by creating a copper alloy, sort of like a brass, to keep the copper from vapor depositing in the barrel? Neat strategy. Ok. I'll give it a try.

    What exactly is CFE223

    What makes this a Copper Fouling Eraser compared to H335? Are they identical except for the addition of some dopants to the CFE that bind with the copper to turn them into particulates? Does it burn at a different temperature to prevent less copper from being vaporized/deposited? Does it have...

    Update(2015) on new Colt factory in Florida....

    Just took look at their financials. Very little cash and decreasing. Debt is rising and they are in for a large loss this year. They did indicate they have a 16,000 sq ft lease in Kissimmee, Florida and that it is currently not used. There was nothing mentioned about owning a place in Florida...

    22-250 case sizing analysis

    I always use a body then neck bushing die or a FL die, then the neck expander on the push stroke. I use the same brand of neck reamer as the expander die so the mandrel dimensions are the same. I always wanted to push all the imperfections to the outside of the neck so I can have all the tool...

    22-250 case sizing analysis

    There is a graphite powder and bead mixture I use that works well if needed to dip your necks for a quick lube Made by imperial I believe.

    22-250 case sizing analysis

    There is always a little spring back with brass. Concentriity looks good with no neck expander on the pull stoke. I like to full length size without the neck expander or just neck resize using bushing die. Then I use a neck expander on the push stroke. Any imperfections are pushed to the...
