"Enter Me In The Swarovski/Cameraland Contest"

Roger that - I have used a 60 in just this manner - shot was about 400 yards, but I had to walk about a mile and a half to get over there. I ranged the animal with a laser, then pointed the the gps at the animal. Presto - direction + distance = way point. I then told the gps to set a "go to"...

Thanks for the reply guys - Chris - Doug's pricing is what got me started down this path ;) In one of the posts above weight is mentioned. I looked it up and the Geovids are about 1oz heavier than the Leupy 10x50's, so I get nocs and a ranger for about the same weight as the nocs only, with...

Ok - the pricing on the Leica 10x42 Geovids has gotten me interested in combining my rangefinder and binos into one unit. I currently use a pair of Leupold Mesa 10x50s and get pretty good low light resolution, but a bit heavy. My ranger is a Lieca LRF 900 (big boxy thing). I will seriously...

Had this problem myself - specially with Remington brass which I have found to be kinda soft. I think most people agree with this. I have gone completely to using a Lee collet die to neck size, then a Redding body die to bump the shoulder when necessary. Use this on 223's on up to 338 WM...

Colorado in October - 10,000 - 12,000 feet. Been researching clothing here on LRH and socks get mentioned often. However, they always say something like "good wool socks". Well, a little more research and socks can vary from 15% wool to 90% wool, the other stuff being lycra, spandex, or...

Sorta opended question... Been reading, researching, working on my rifle, practicing, doing the cardio. October is getting closer. Any comments, help, etc?

Good advice for starting out. You'll probably find that loading for the pistols is a different game than the rifles. GENERALLY you don't need to be nearly as precise. You still have to be careful, just not as picky. If you do pistol competition (IDPA, USPSA, SASS) or even if you do rifle...

Dug up my targets and chrono data - ran it all through Loadbase. Very surprising! Input data listed below, but the net is to get the drop numbers to match, I had to back the BC all the way down to 0.33. The advertised BC is 0.43. I will do more verification of this (including down range...

You mind sharing your data (or your calculated BC)? I'm working up an Elk load for the fall - started with NABs and HIBs. My original plan was to use the NABs (isn't anything made by Nosler the best :D, and the published BC is much higher), but the HIBs seem to shoot a little better in my...

2 of my favorites! Here's a link: Varget

Don't shoot a 270, so no direct experience. However, I have been working on a 338 since March and had a similar situation - sticky bolt on a warm day (though I haven't tried the cooler yet). I know I'm on the ragged edge - I bumped the charge until I got a sticky bolt (and loose primers)...

Those are very dangerous! Please PM me and I will tell you where to send them so they can be properly disposed of!!!! :D
