Reloading for me is a hobby. I do it mostly in the winter when I can't shoot or aren't hunting. I always used a single stage press and each and every time I tumble my brass, clean primer pockets and flash holes, run each one through the trimmer, hand prime the cases and weigh each charge and...

I did the same thing a few years ago with precussion caps for my muzzleloader. When I ordered them the gun shop owner looked at me like I had 3 heads! Glad I did.

I picked up a carton of Winchester LRMP the other day at Scheels in The Colony, Texas. They had a pretty good stack and I'm pretty sure they don't ship.

Has anyone installed a muzzle brake on their T3 and if so, what size did you buy?

Good news. God still answers prayers allbeit in His own time.

I was impressed with the little 6.5CM and the 143 gr ELD-X bullets. It put a pretty good dent in the heavy steel RR plates even out to 500 yds. And the Bergara B-14 HMR had no trouble hitting them once dialed in. It was really cool seeing the bullet impact the plate way out there and then...

I've had my rifle for about 2 years and thanks to a clear cut this spring I finally got a place to shoot any distance. My gun range only has a max of 300 yds. Today I was able to set up targets at 300, 400 and 500 yds. The targets were RR plates about 9"x 14". The rifle was sighted in at 200 yds...

I don't think I have a favorite cartridge. I like a myriad of mid-size cartridges like .243, 6mm, 6.5 CM, and 7-08. And for anything bigger then that I hunt I do just fine with my 30-06. There are so many cartridges out there that can do the same or similar things it boggles the mind. The...

IMO barrel break in is to eliminate minute burrs in the rifling which can catch fouling. A bulid up of this fouling can result in a harder to clean bore and/or ultimately a loss in accuracy. Its better to take the time initially and break in a production barrel. Needing a break in I think it...

Maybe not the best but its right up there. I too used the 243 with great success. Its no slouch but today I prefer the 7-08. The 260 and 6.5 CM deserve honorable mention too

I really don't care how confident you are with your equipment. There is absolutely zero excuse for shooting game anywhere but the heart/lung area. If you shoot behind the shoulder there is very little meat damage. Yes a well placed shot in the head or neck will destroy the nervous system and...

Yes friend I know humidity is also a factor that's why I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 in my gun room / man cave.

No one here that I saw has asked how old his powder was and how it was stored. Could be deteriorating powder. That surely would account for large variances in velocity. I really can't think of anything else that would cause such an ES. I never worry about my powders because they are in my...

I know a gentleman that can hit a target at 600 yards almost every time and has already hit targets at 1200 yards with a percussion rifle. This rifle has a standard Thompson Center Renegade stock, a Rice barrel with, I believe, a 1:20 twist and Lee Shaver vernier rear and globe front sights. He...

Apparently not everyone on that committee thought this out. As one poster stated some have visual problems where they can't use open sights. Why not allow 1X power scopes or at least have an amendment that allows those with visual problems to use 1X scopes.
