Sticking with one load and shooting in heat and cold and wind and humidity and get used to it. Consistently be consistent or else you’ll spiral down the infinite black hole of possibilities in the reloading world and you’ll be an old man still looking for the flattest shooting lightest...

Bring a ton of ingenuity because it weighs less on your back. Bring a comfy pair of boots and some good glass to see. Bring an old friend to have a good time and bring a new friend to make memories and plenty of good merino socks and moleskin. I really don’t know what I’m talking about, just...

I wake up at night in a cold sweat over guns I’ve sold. I wonder if they are happy and if someone took my 1/2 Moa 243 and changed out it’s scope or if they are using the lube it likes or if the rifle misses me as much as I miss it. I’d cut off my trigger finger for any of my sold guns to come...

What’s the temperature like outside when it happens? Black crisp holes sound like hot metal hit your target What’s the load? Is it copper or straight lead? And is it soft pure lead or lead with an alloy mixed in which makes it harder. I’d suspect a load with a soft heavy pure lead is hitting...

i think im gonna go scrap more off that monte carlo and grab an old metal barrel and make my own smoker, Mad Max style

the million dollar question is, did you put the hubcap back on your dodge dart when you were done or did you use it as coyote bait?
