I don't know where anyone gets off passing judgement on another person. Both the parties in this transaction were old enough to vote. Nice buy and I'm sure the gentleman you purchased them from is happy also! FRJ
I was out hunting one day and as is quite common with me I got lost. Pretty normal state of affairs for me. On this day however I stumbled on an old overgrown graveyard, no roads into it and very small maybe 25 graves. I sat down on one of the gravestones to eat a bit of lunch and when I got up...
Been hunting now for over fifty years. Target and competition for over 60. Sierra makes a really fine bullet for both accuracy and terminal efficiency on big game. After all these years I've finally settled on the 30/06 as my all around caliber and the 180gr bullet as my go to bullet. I've used...
I hate to give bad news but here goes. Ten years ago I shot an elk with 180gr Hornady interbond. It blew up on the side of the animal. Thank God the next one didn't!!! I now use Barnes stx exclusively. I know it was just one bullet but it almost cost me an elk. FRJ
I have used mag primers where standard primers are called for for 48 years and never had a problem. Chronoed several loads and calibers loaded both ways and never saw a velocity difference.Nora
I have a RCBS Rockchucker that I bought when I was 21. I'm 69 now and that press has loaded thousands upon thousands of rounds. There is absolutely no wear on it and I'm sure it would last another hundred years plus. Once or twice a year I clean and then lube the ram and pivot points. I wont...
ANY liquid in the area where you are casting is a very big NO NO!!! Don't drink or smoke while casting!!! All your attention needs to be on the job at hand. A wet towel is to my way of thinking a bad idea. A dry cotton towel is what I use and it works fine! Eye protection is a must. For me the...
I own a X bolt in 06 it is one great rifle!! It shot 5/8" 5 shot groups out of the box. Now after some meticulous reloading it goes into 1/2" with 5 shots that's at 100 yards. If you can get one for only $600:00 buy it and run cause you just stole it! By the way all I did to mine was install a...
My choices would be 1. Falling block as in Ruger #1. 2. Lever as in Marlin. 3. Bolt action as in L/H Browning I've owned 2 Remington 141's in 35 rem and really like them but they are not made any longer and are very hard to find where I live.
I believe that before I got worried about it I would get a retest on it. I've had it happen twice where the first blood test that was done was faulty. Sometimes I think the labs are just churning business.
I couldn't afford to shoot if I had to buy factory ammo. My reloads will shoot with or surpass the highest dollar factory ammo at 1/3 of the cost. I have picked up several thousand brass cases from the ranges near me. All for free. The super accurate stuff, 1/2MOA I use matched brass all sized...
Take a deep breath and calm down! Then call the guy back and apologize for getting into an argument with him. Last its certainly no big deal to load the small primers and they shoot just as well as the large. So load em up, shoot em and enjoy life.
If you don't have some 4831 or 4350 then you don't have what is needed for loading the 06. If your talking about a person borrowing a rifle and shooting at living creatures out to 600 yards I strongly suggest you recheck your priorities and ethics. Over a 50 year period I've taken over 100 heads...
First thing I would suggest to you is to read your loading manual several times before doing anything. Second pick a powder that cant be double charged into the case your loading. Third weigh every charge you throw until your absolutely sure that your measure is throwing accurately every time...
I live in an apartment and my go to HD weapon is a Rem 870 20" barrel loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #6 shot. The longest shot Icould possibly take would be 8 yards and hitting a person with that load will act like a slug at those ranges yet do minimal or no damage to someone on the other side of the...
Best rifle I've ever owned!!1 3/8" 5 shot group at 200 yards. First 5 shot group was over the hood of my truck at 100 yards with cheap loss leader Federal ammo.Group size was 5/8". Trigger is clean and goes off at 3.5#. Mines a stainless stalker in 3006 which is great for the rainforest I hunt...
