    FL Die and shoulder measuring

    I’m trying to get my shoulder measurement on my brass to equal what my loaded factory Nosler partitions measure. I’ve been turning the die down and I’m still .003 long. I thought you only had to turn it a bit but it’s like it won’t bump the shoulder back anymore. I’m using a Hornady...

    Powder Life

    I found a pound of H4831 I’ve had in a storage unit for 2 years. Does powder go bad? Should I reload with it or dispose of it? I do t even know how I would properly dispose of it.

    Weatherby Vanguard and Nosler Partition 160 grain

    I want going to handload but if I can’t get the accuracy I want from the boxes I have I might have to. I’m getting the rifle piller bedded in a Boyd’s stock. What’s been your most accurate handload recipe?

    Weatherby Vanguard and Nosler Partition 160 grain

    Does anyone have any experience with this rifle and ammo combination? It’s not listed as ammo Weatherby tested as most accurate and it didn’t seem the best out of my rifle. I’m going to shoot it some more but I didn’t get moa from it. They shoot these in accuracy tests: Barnes Vortex 140...

    SKRE vs. KUUI vs. SITKA vs. First Light

    I'm looking at merino or synthetic base layer, pants, active insulation top and a puffy plus packable rain gear. Also a windstopper jacket of some sort. In Sitka that would be their core lt base layer top and bottom, Ambient Hoody, they have some new pants coming to replace the Apex pant or...

    SKRE vs. KUUI vs. SITKA vs. First Light

    Looking into purchasing my clothes for my first Elk Hunt next September. There are so many options and I can't decide what to buy. I already posted a thread about what I need and from that post I learned alot. Good base layer in either 150 or 250, a couple of pants, mid-layer shirts or...

    Thanks. That’s why I’m asking. Never hunted elk before. I feel better about it now. Believe me I’m super excited. Been thinking about it for a long time.

    Thank you! I’m putting in the physical work and practice with my rifle. Got to get my legs and lungs and back in better shape.

    Doesn’t sound promising. Again feel bad the animals are suffering so I don’t want to sound callous when I say this because I am a hunter and conservationist. This is my first trip and first Elk hunt. I’m 56 and who knows if I’ll get the chance to do this again. I’ve already spent half of...

    Getting really concerned about my September hunt in and around Hayden. Been reading how bad the winter has been. Spending a lot of money for a guide and hate to think I’m already going to be behind the 8 ball. Any thoughts. Feel bad that the herds are struggling. Really sucks.
