Here are a couple of Ithacas. A model 600 O/U and a Model 900 Semi. These are from circa 1968 to 1972 when my Dad was Production Control manager at Ithaca and I was a little ankle-bighter. We lived in Trumansburg, NY at the time. My Dad managed Ithaca's deal with SKB arms back in the day and was...

Or, I guess you'll just be one of those "Rainy Day People"

Well, I'm not one to have many Alliant powders other that RL-15 and RL-22. I cut my teeth reloading with all the IMR stuff, which is more than a little "been there done that" but many of them really work for me, temperature extremes be dammed. Only things I'm after now is some Varget and...

It’s nice to be in a place where people are “awake” versus “woke”. We need to succeed and take over, LRH!!

Well, the Bushes and the Clintons have been known to vacation together so that ought to further bolster the notion that these guys are oppiset sides of the same coin and yes, the wing on the right and the one on the left belong to the same bird. As an aside, 41’s dad, Prescott Bush worked for...

If it was me, I’d standardize around the 300, seeing as though you already have one. Just my .02.

Central banks run the world. Communist operatives have been at work in this country for over a century. They are incrementalists for a reason. The real decline began in the 60’s in my opinion but the plans were laid for that well beforehand. I try not to confuse “Liberals” with what most of...

Thank you all. Points to consider in the process of continual improvement in this hobby

Is that a long jump in your opinion? I guess that’s what some rifles like. A node within .003 is tight by my standards, almost within my margin of error but I’m sure it can make a difference. What do you accept for run out? Just curious.

Perhaps an oversimplification but I always start out at .020 off and only tweak from there if I can't get .5 MOA or less. It seems that "closer" (but not too close) works for me the majority of the time. I don't know what the hierarchy is when it comes to manipulating controlled variables...

I love shooting out of my house.....

I guess mine is like butcher block wood. Basically a Whalen bench that my wife bought for me from Costco when I started reloading in 2008. It is very functional and robust and it’s on big casters so I can move it around when I need to. The RCBS mounting plates were a big help and it has served...

Once in a while, they show themselves at my range too. You are not supposed to shoot them but who can resist? I go to the range during the week to avoid the weekend warrior crowd and often times, I’m the only one there so……
