HIGHROAD, Looking for a reliable gps tracking device for a new mule we got for a land purchase. I'd like to leave it out there but not much protection from theft when I'm traveling. If you have experience with any of these devices I'd like to hear about your opinions. Thanks!

Very grateful for the responses, good start.

Time to replace a couple of old stands. So I've climbed into a few stands at various hunt clubs trying to get a feel of what would be comfortable and safe to use. Most of what I am seeing is flimsy and not stout feeling at all. I'm looking for a minimum of 17' and just a roomy one-seater...

I had my Holosun 507c mounted on my FNX 45 and it did just fine at keeping zero. I recently switched it to my Sig X-TEN (10 mm if you're not familiar) and my shots are walking right. All mounting plate and sight screws are blue loctited and sat overnight before I even attempted to shoot it...

AJC1 - Yes, that 180 JHP is around 1275 fps and I am happy with accuracy.

Hey sparky, no issues at all. I have them seated at 1.240” and they cycle beautifully. My first time ordering from them and will definitely be getting more. I’m getting a very slight lead smear about an inch into the bbl after about 30 rounds but easily scrapes out. As far as COL, even the 185...

Gentlemen- I found my pet load and I am happy. I'm not typically one to push the envelope but I do like magnum loads. I just wanted to see what was possible while slightly creeping up to and a hair above max published data. As I said in my OP, the claim on Buffalo Bore's website (220 gr @ 1,200)...

I just got back into town in time to get things prepared for the tropical storm this weekend. I’m very glad to see all these posts on this topic. I’m very intrigued on the H110 and 2400 conversations because I have been loading those for 44 magnum for over 20 years. But I find no published data...

I travel for my job so out of town now but I will resume working on the loads this weekend. The only way forward, at least the way I see it, is to go above the max published data a tenth of a grain at a time looking for pressure signs and watching the chronograph. And I'll be looking for some...

When I learned about 800x going away I decided not to experiment with it.

Not new to hand loading, just new to 10mm, I didn't have to buy new dies since I've been loading for .40 S&W. That being said, I have acquired a new SIG X-TEN 10mm that I absolutely adore...I'd like to achieve 1300 fps with the 200 gr hard cast projectiles I acquired from Montana Bullet Works...

I appreciate the replies, gentlemen. We have acquired the M17 are are really enjoying it. My handloads work flawlessly in it, which is great compared to the tight tolerances of my CZ 75 Omega, where most handloads stick tightly. It's also slightly more accurate than the CZ. Factory and HL...

Looking to get an M17 considering they are back in stock and prices have come down. My questions: 1- I'd like to use my suppressor, so I have found a threaded bbl on their website. Reasonable price, I think. But for sights, I'd have to get a mountable dot sight, to see over the suppressor...

Loading Berry's 147 plated FP AA#5 powder, Western Powders data lists a COAL of 1.160" This COAL is way way too long to fit full battery in my CZ 75 Omega, I have to seat to 1.055" in order for slide to come to full battery. So I pulled the bullets and backed off the charge to the minimum (4.6...

Hello Been a while since I’ve posted here. I own two 10/22’s (an LVT and a carbine) that I love. I’ve slightly modified them over the years, trigger work, Kidd spring kits, charging handles. They’re excellent shooters. In August I applied for a stamp for a suppressor so still waiting approval...
