First semi-custom
I really like the 7 saum, too bad it's not more popular. It's a great fit for short action Remingtons. -
First semi-custom
Got this rifle out again today. Worked on finalizing the load at a longer distance. Pictured are my first three shots at 540yds. It was very windy today, swirling side-to-side a lot, so that somewhat accounts for the L to R dispersion. I'm VERY happy with the vertical though. Even with the wind... -
First semi-custom
Thanks, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I'm not usually inclined to drop that kind of cash on my hobbies so I was nervous about how it would turn out. Looks like Wyoming deer in October! -
First semi-custom
After fire forming all the brass and starting load development I have a good candidate. Now to load up some more of this and make sure it's going to be consistent. I think it will be, nearly all the groups I've shot with this rifle have been very good. This is shooting the 180ELDM with H1000. My... -

Does that make the 9mm the 308 of handguns? ;) -
Which handgun as a backup?
Last year a bowhunter was attacked in one of the units I hunt by a rabid coyote. He was able to swing the bow and fend it off long enough to get an arrow in it, but a handgun would have been much more effective. When on rifle hunts with friends (I'm not the tag holder) or when scouting I'm not... -
Which handgun as a backup?
All great comments thanks. Just to clarify, I am in AZ so I'm not worried about bears, just small stuff. I was even thinking just a 22LR might be fine, but in the case of a rabid 'yote it might not have the stopping power I need. I do want something I can learn to shoot easily. Yes I would be... -
Which handgun as a backup?
Hi All, I'm considering purchasing my first handgun as a backup to carry when I'm hunting. Mainly looking for personal protection while in the field against coyotes (2 and 4 legged), dispatching snakes, maybe hunting the occasional rabbit that sort of thing. I don't own a handgun and have only... -
Anyone have a Sierra loading manual and a couple of minutes?
If you have an iOS device (iPhone or iPad) you can get the Sierra app for free. It has all their load data in it.- mrjashu

When testing new hunting loads how many rounds of each load?
I use 3 shot groups to eliminate bad loads, then 5 shot groups to prove good loads.- mrjashu

When testing new hunting loads how many rounds of each load?
In one of his books he tests this with shoot through targets and proves that group precision is linear. However he did hypothesize that parallax might be the culprit, theorizing that it's easier to get right at the longer distances. I'd have to go re-read it but I think they even tested that...- mrjashu

Leupold BX-5 Santium 15x56 Binoculars
EuroOptic has them on closeout right now ($799). It looks like only the camo versions as the grey version is full price? Pretty good deal! -
First semi-custom
Shot some 180 ELDMs today. Just playing with seating depth. Not bad for just picking a starting charge out of the book. The barrel is still speeding up so no "real" load development yet. -
