    Off-season project - 7mm Rem Mag

    I never crimp. I just run the right sized bushing to give me 2-3 thousandths of neck tension. Never have had a problem so far. How far you are off the lands matters in some rifles/bullets; others not so much. I measure some factory loads on my 308 and the factory loads were 0.256 of the...

    Off-season project - 7mm Rem Mag

    Do you know how far off the lands you are with your current seating depth? With my CX's, I am 0.015" off the lands (edit: from the ogive as Sheltowee notes) and really didn't see any impact from 0.005 - 0.050. I settled on 0.015 just to be conservative but still keep the jump low. Also, from...

    Off-season project - 7mm Rem Mag

    I have been working up loads for my 7mm Rem Mag. Leupold VX-6HD with Leupold magnum rings/bases (steel, two-piece). Tightened everything to specs and put loc-tite on the base screws. Have now put >500 rds through it with no issues. Haven't seen any drift. I would check your rings/bases...

    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    I bought a Luxe Hexpeak XL with Ti stove and inner nest in 2017. To date, it has never failed me. I use it monthly for 2-3 day trips during the spring/summer here in CO and then for 7-10 hunting trips in the fall (Oct-Nov). Great product. I have never had to contact customer service for...

    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    My stove has a glass front door so able to watch the fire a bit better. Ditto on the 2-3 inch logs to bank at night. I add large rocks to help prolong the warmth so I never stoke after I go to bed. The rocks also help to prevent accidentally rolling into the stove. For winter hunting, I have...

    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    Hmmm. Haven't had that bad luck. Definitely sucks, especially in the middle of the night. I solo with a tepee as well here in CO. Mine has a snow skirt that I weight down with rocks if wind is in the forecast (and no snow on the ground). That and guy-lines from the mid-point on the walls to...

    Off-season project - 7mm Rem Mag

    I could never get hornady's to shoot well with their factory loads; either my 308 or my 7 mm RM. But I have developed a hand load with the 150 gr CX's for the 7mm that is 0.5 MOA.

    Off-season project - 7mm Rem Mag

    I bought a Kimber Mtn Ascent in 7mm RM about a year and a half ago. For factory loads, it liked both the 155-gr terminal ascents and the 160-gr trophy bonded tips. Took a nice Montana muley with the TA at 182 yds. Deer went 10 yds and dropped. That said, I was getting right at 1.05 MOA out...

    My first new vehicle

    Really trying not to continue this discussion in this thread, but .... On a percentage basis, none of the CEO's you mention make more than 0.015% of their companies total annual revenue. To put that in perspective, Russell Wilson makes an annual salary of $49M for the Denver Broncos that as an...

    My first new vehicle

    I don't consider them unskilled. I am always humbled by people that have learned a craft and honed it over years of practice. Mechanic, blacksmith, electrician, gunsmith, the list can go on and on. While I went to college and got an advanced engineering degree, that's not for everyone. It...

    My first new vehicle

    With all due respect, record profits just isn't true. Maybe a record in terms of actual dollars but that number means nothing. The data is available online but take Ford as an example - in 2018, they posted a net profit margin of 2.29%, 0.03% in 2019, -1.01% in 2020, 13.16% in 2021 and -1.25%...

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    I have just developed a load for my 7mm Rem Mag (Kimber Mt Ascent) with 150 gr CX's. Had really good success with H4831SC. 3155 fps average over 100+ rounds so far with low max spread and sub 0.5 MOA that I have confirmed out to 300 yds on paper. Last session was 10-round group at 1.42-inch...

    Setting up tent location

    So I have been running a tepee hot tent now for 6 yrs. My approach: Find as level of a spot as you can. I look for a spot that is on the edge of the trees where the trees can provide a bit of a windbreak but not so close deadfall is likely. Aspens are the worst so I stay out of them if at...

    Wtf am I trying to prove:Colorado bear 2023

    I know exactly where you are hunting. Yep, you're in the wrong place. I have deer hunted that area a couples of times and had local day-hikers with dogs crawling all over the place. Surprised to see someone with a rifle and blaze orange passing them on the trails. Won't make that mistake...

    First truck and current truck.

    First truck was a 1986 Toyota pickup Xtra-cab with a 7-ft bed. Same 22R engine. I put 287K miles on it. Replaced it with a 2005 Tacoma dual cab like yours but in tan. Still have it with 162K miles. Runs as well as day 1. Both were/are manual transmissions. All I have ever driven. Added a...

    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    You can remove it from the stove (after it is cold) and tap the pipe and loosen a lot of it while you are in the field and just dump it out on the ground. Then, after each trip and I am home, I have a large metal putty knife I use to scrap the rest of the big stuff off. Have to be careful as...
