    Nosler brass.

    I just bought 2 boxes of new Nosler 7rem mag brass. All were clean and ready to roll. Curious to learn the diameter you team flash hole to? Personally haven’t done that on any of my reloads and would like to learn how you’ve recognized benefits

    Student Loan Rifle

    I believe a significant chunk of the “heirloom value” is the sentimental aspect of Heirloom. Memories. For me, Brownings, Weatherby V, Fierce and Coopers are on the list. Finding a nice old Model 70 or REM 700 would also work. If you have the dough - really hard to beat Cooper. My brothers...

    2023 dove hunting thread

    My daughter and I made the annual trip to Yuma. The weather was interesting. Dust storms, thunderstorms and rain. Birds were slow and steady on south side of town opening morning. We switched to NW side of town for opener evening and had a great shoot. Lots of fellow hunters. Mostly middle aged...

    Positive indicator?

    Was surprised to see Federal Gold Medal Magnum on the shelf this weekend. Expensive but there. Was tempted to pick up the whole brick but didn’t hog it. Just a few sleeves. Hoping this is a sign things are turning around.

    Neffa3, What did you read? I just finished English Creek after learning of Doig on this thread. Decent read as far as story goes.

    Mr buddy heater for tent camping

    We ran the buddy with added co detector when it got cold one night in Wyoming. Other nights we just used it to prewarm before bed and at wake up. Must admit I didn’t sleep well the night we ran it through. Kept worrying about waking up dead and not getting an elk

    +1 for: Haunted Mesa, Lonesome Dove, & Empire of Summer Moon. Good reads. Steinbeck also has a few. To a God Unknown was pretty cool. Loved Zane Grey when I was a kid - Riders of Purple Sage comes to mind.

    Loading Nosler Partitions

    Hi mag, sorry for any confusion. My test was both charge and seating depth. 2x2 test. The results interested me as higher charge and shorter coal worked better than same charge longer. But, lower charge longer was close. I used coal as general reference but also measured cbto as the main...

    Thought I’d pass along my experience with loading partitions in 308 win in hope it helps others. My rifle is a Howa stainless 1500. I’m not sure of the twist. It could be 1:12? Today I tested two charge weights of BLC2 under 150 gr partitions at two different seating depths. Norma brass, cci...
