I have a 16" Ruger American and it loves Verget and 168 gr bullets. Both A-max and LRX. Loaded mag length. The speed is not bad, 2550 from the 16” bbl, but good enough for a truck gun and 1-8 scope.

Thanks all.

I find it hard to understand how/why Trump continued with his campaign, knowing that this was going to be the most likely outcome. Don't misunderstand, I am 100% behind Trump and what he stands for, I truly believe he is the only true patriot to hold that office in many iterations before. But...

I see you are in SW GA, if I am lucky and throw it just right, it might wind up in the SW part of my yard!!!! But you can watch for it at your leisure!!! LOL At this point, I am thinking I should just buy another set of dies. I am sure it is just me, but I have broken more decapping pins...

I tried a cleaning brush with no luck other than to crush the bristles. I did figure out to thread from the bottom up in the press, that part works great. I am going to put some penetrating oil on it and warm it in the oven and try that using a brush. If that doesn’t work I will put it in...

Was sizing/decapping 223 brass and one parted above the base and is not stuck in my die. I can reach it from the top end with a small screwdriver but afraid to damage die if I mess with that too much. Did try a couple light taps and no luck there. Any recommendations on how to remove it...

Well the river gauge is showing a slow steady drain off. Maybe in a couple weeks the flood in the bottom will be gone enough to check feeder motors and cameras. I lost 8 cameras one year, under-estimated the flood elevation by a LARGE margin. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers...

28 Nosler throated for the 195s. I love mine!!!

Funny pic from a buddy who hunts close by my place. Taken by a trail cam. Feeder still throwing corn!!! Lots of pigs in East Tx. PS: He has better feeders than me, but he hasn’t lost nearly as many down in that bottom as I have!!!

My neck has begun itching these last 3 weeks or so!!!

Thanks. Here are a couple pics from those two rifles. 22-250 3 shots The center group for the 300 was cold bore, first rounds after assembly. Lower right was next 3 shots. 100 yd targets

I have two Proof pre-fits, 22-250 and 300 PRC. The 300 shoots Hornady 212 factory less than 3/4” and the 22-250 is one ragged hole on reloaded 55 and 68 gr bullets. I am not a competitive shooter, mostly hunting and steel to 700 yds so extreme accuracy isn’t my goal. But how doesn’t like a good...

When we set trot lines in the flats or river edge, we use fresh cut pine tree sapling tops. 1” at the small end and 6-8’ long depending on water depth. Jam them in the mud a foot or more and they will bend and never break.

We are going to SD to shoot next week. But won’t be on the biggest town in that area. Talked to the outfitter today. Landowner poisoned it. Apparently they aren’t considered builders by everyone.
