I had both of mine done far. That's what I would recommend. You can put on cheaters to read. I shoot rifles,bows and handguns.

Have you checked neck thickness?

What are you nicking down! I prefer to neck up. Solves a lot of issues. No neck turning. No doughnut.

Never had anything 6MM/.243 that didn't like the 85 GK from Sierria. Some had loads they liked better,but all shot the Game King well.

This might not help the OP ,but a few years ago I worked up a load with a 165 grain bullet in my 22" 1-10 .308 with BLC2 that was a real tack driver. When I went to load up a batch of ammo for a hunt,I was low on powder so I picked up some more. With the new batch of powder I could not duplicate...

Reading another post on here reminded me of this one. 1972 Minnesota deer season. My friends brother is just back from Vietnam. We met mid day for a sandwich, sitting on a fallen tree. My friend on one side of his brother,I'm on the other side. All of a sudden,his brother swings both arms...

Len, at the expense of sounding like a kook, if you can find someone to witch a well do it. It's a talent. Some say that they are born with it. A lot of people have that talent, and don't even know it. I've been told by someone that had the "gift" that if they accept money for the gift, they...

20 years of concerts plus when I started shooting I don't think there was any such thing as ear protection. Add to that 25 years of IHMSA, shooting every weekend. We wore muffs,but when you walked off the line at the end of the day you knew what a punching bag felt like,just from the concussion...

There are probably a lot of members on this site ,myself included,that would be happy to help anyone that is willing to learn how to reload ammo. If I can be of any assistance, let me know. I'm always willing to help a fellow shooter. I have taught a few people to load over the years and...

Had to go with 260 Rem. Not fancy,good Battelle life,just works. Been shooting one for 30 years with no complaints.

I used to shoot a lot of IHMSA silhouette. My favorite revolver cartridge was the .375 Super Mag. Then Dan Wesson came out with the .445 Super Mag. Traded the .375 for a .445 . In an 80 round match the the recoil of the .445 would get to me. The last couple of banks of rams was a real...

I'd say that's consistent!

The xero is pretty grear,but like the labradar it uses dopplar radar to measure velocity. So when set up ,unless mounted to the object firing the projectile, the projectile is moving away from the xero at an angle. If that angle changes it will affect the reading. A 25 FPS change is A very...

Is that a LuthAR stock?

The line you use and also the equipment depends on how you plan to fish. The last muskie that I caught was on 6 pound test line with no leader. It wasn't a huge fish (I'd guess about 40 inches) but I was fishing for panfish and it was a blast. If it was me I'd use 20 pound braided line with a...
