I do all my whitetail hunting in ND and for the last 30 years I have been using a .257 Weatherby with great success, it seems the more I learn about the rifle the moreBig game I use it for. So far I have taken many white tails with it out to just under 500 yds Went to Alaska with it three...

You ask a question that made me think a bit before answering! ND is normally a peaceful quiet and generally pretty darned friendly state, I have liked it for many years. I will not say that its because of the oil industry that things are changing (AND THEY ARE) I think its just peoples lack of...

I am in the Fargo area and a buddy and I have a private range we set up complete with range house, we can hang steel out to 600yds on wet years and out to 900 in dry years. It also has a pistol bay for 25 to 30 yd work. We shoot everything 6mm Creedmoor to 50 BMG out there, its handy for us...

Bushwackr congrats on the tag, did you get a bull or a cow?When I got my tag a few years ago I went of in the Dunseith area in Mid Northern ND and just started asking farmers what they have seen and if they ever let people hunt on their land, in a lot of cases the answer will be YES if they have...

Its sure good to see somebody looking to get into class III there just are not that many of us out there. I am lucky that we have a few of us who live fairly close together and have a match every other weekend at our local gun club, its a lot of fun and keep a person sharp! I do have one MG...

Hey folks I used to hunt Alaska and bought this revolver just for that purpose. I have a Freedom Arms (field grade) .475 Linebaugh 6" revolver. The gun is in virtually like new condition and comes with a belt type holster and all the paperwork and box plus 150 rounds of empty brass. I like...

I have to say I have never used the term inherently accurate, instead I always used the term "BALANCED"! In my mind I have always looked at the 222 Remington as a very balanced round right along with the .308 Winchester, My meaning of balanced it that the round cal/, case capacity, primer type...

Well guys I got to see and handle the new rifle today and it looks beautiful even the wood is really good with lots of swirls in it, I was happily surprised with everything. Now the rifle is getting some trigger work the factory setting was 4.25 pounds I would prefer it closer to 2 pounds since...

Thanks a lot guys the rifle I bought is also from Lipseys and I do believe it has the 28" tube it sounds like the rifle will live up to my expectations and do all that I am looking for. I appreciate your time a lot and NOW look even more forward to picking up the rifle tomorrow and getting it...

Hey guys I am looking for thought and your experiences concerning a Ruger Number 1 in .257 weatherby Mag. I am picking up a new one tomorrow and since I have not owned a number 1 in 30 years I am wondering what to expect as far as trigger, accuracy, are there things that I should be planning to...

Interesting, all the Benchrest guys I know all use Lapua brass. I load .338 Lapua for long range shooting and all I ever use is Lapua brass. Sometimes it stops paying to keep asking questions.

I just bought my first 6.5 in a RPR and its a Creedmore, I looked at the 6.5x284 and ammo selection was a fraction of the creed and double the price. I have to buy factory ammo to build up a brass supply for loading.

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for posting your ideas and opinions on the 33 Nosler, its very interesting to get folks opinions who work with these products in the real world! I Have been hunting with a .340 Weatherby for the last 20 years or so and have always found it more than adequate...

My Gen II Vortex is here in 34 mm but I am still waiting for my 33 Nosler rifle to mount it on! Karl

Hello Folks I having just recently sold my .340 Weatherby rifle to a fellow who has NO interest in reloading at all, which is fine but I have around 80 rounds of once fired factory brass to get rid of the only thing I ask is that you USE the Brass dont just take it and do nothing with it! If...
