Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Update #2. Its strange how the tables of life turn. I've been coaching/volunteering/ and mentoring kids for years in the shooting sports. They look up to us as if we always know everything and at that stage of their lives, and we probably do. ;) Most of those kids move on to...

Sorry for being so long on an update. Here's where I'm at.... in the end, the mag latches that MSG sent didn't help. The 1mm size appeared to be identical to the one already in the chassis. We tried the 2mm one and that one would not latch up the mag. MDT said to try filing the latch to fit...

Of course, you are right about that. If you're lucky enough to be living in one of those areas, and your criteria is to avoid outside food influences, then by all means, go for it. 😃

Finally! Here's the update. The latches came. The spring that applies tension to the latch is VERY STRONG. I knew I'd need help, so between a friend and myself we tackled the switch a roo. MDT sent a 1mn and 2mm height latches. Their recommendations were to try the 1mm first. We easily removed...

Sounds like you are well on your way. In time you will streamline your process. If you don't already have one, get a loading tray. I use a Hornady powder measure and set it to drop just short of my desired weight. Then I trickle out the remainder and pour it in the case. When all 50, (That's...

How strange to see this post. In fact, there seems to be a revival of the 25 cal. .257 Roberts A.I. is my choice

Agree with just about every one. 😃 While I was a hunter ed instructor in Colorado, we taught the rule of thumb for killing medium game such as Mule Deer, Antelope, small Elk is to not go under 1000 ft lbs of kinetic energy. Any reloading book can tell you that info. I would guess humans would...

Years ago when I was teaching Hunter ed, info came along to the instructors saying it takes 14 pellets in the neck/head area to kill a Turkey. Must be true because even a well shooting 20 ga will take birds. I've used Remington 20 ga #5 shoot game loads, (nothing fancy), on many Turkeys. Lucky...

In a short response, yes wild Turkey is and tastes different from domestic birds. The meat is generally tougher, with the legs darn near inedible. We pressure cook the legs seperate, then pick off the meat. The breast gets cut into 1" "Chicken Finger Strips" or flattened into cutlets and coated...

I traded my Q2 for a Mathews FX which was considered a trade down. The Q2 was Mathews flagship bow in the day. I was working for a Mathews Pro Shop so trying out the latest bows was easy. In the end I did move on to Bowtech, (for various reasons). And as good as all my Bowtech were, no bow ever...

Back in the day, I too had a Q2. They were quite speedy for that time.....a whopping 308-310 IBO. Super smooth on the draw with little valley and wall. It was all of those "qualities" that got me to switch to a Bowtech 😀. No seriously, the Q2 deserves it's rightful place in archery history. It...

I'll take them. 😄. Pm me with info

😃 this is the beauty of these forums. Lots of great information being passed along. One of my "shooting kids", who's now grown up had a fantastic thought about my mag feed problem. His idea was to get a different follower, one a little shorter and replace the longer 30.06 follower with the...

MDT mag latches have been sent. Not here yet.

Ooops, that should read MDT, not Magpul sending mag latches.
