I have a Rem 700 that I won last spring a Mule Deer Foundation Dinner. The rifle is chambered in 243. I want to build my son, who will be twelve this spring, a rifle that he could use for deer, antelope and elk. I plan to have Pac-Nor replace the barrel and true the action for Christmas and then...

Last summer I purchased a Glock 20sf but have not shot it much since ammo is so expensive. I finally have the components together: Nosler 180 JHP, Starline brass, WLP primers, and was finally able to score four pounds of blue dot. I have very little experience in pistol reloading. Typically...

I am looking for a pair of binoculars for my seven year old son. He has had two different Tasco cheapy binoculars and after about 2 years they fall apart. I am hoping to spend under $80. They need to be small enough for a seven year old to hold for some glassing sessions. I was on camera...

So as I am sure most of you know in 2019, Ca will be lead free. I have four years to get out of here. But, in the interim, does any one know of lead free bullets to reload for lever actions??

My family and I leave for the land of Fotis! This will be my fourth year hunting for antelope up by Gillette. After finishing the antelope hunt, we head for norther Ca up by Alturas for mule deer. The wife and kids will be with me for the first three days of mule deer then I have 6 days on my...

Curious to know how many of you still have your first fire-arm(s). My first was a Winchester 70 xtr in 30-06. Received her for my 12th Christmas. No scope no recoil pad, she pummeled me unmercifully. My dad was pretty much a hard arse. I had the distinct feeling that if I complained I would...

I have a .280 AI that I have loaded with 62.5 g of RL 22 under a 145 grain Barnes LRX bullet with a Federal 215 match primer. I carefully worked up the load. It produced two 3/4" 4 shot groups without any signs of excess pressure. Or, at least it did until last Friday. During the initial load...

This last weekend was archery opener in the sierras. My wife Melissa's third archery season, she was pretty wound up to get her first buck. During the first morning, she was covered in deer--7 bucks to be exact. Unfortunately they were behind her and she could not see them as the back window...

Have not been able to post much lately. Seems that now that summer is in full swing, my wife and I are even busier with our four kids than we were during the school year :mrgreen: . This year I have drawn a much coveted X3a tag for northeastern Ca. I have waited five long years to spend my...

I am going to be picking up a 10 mm Glock that I will be reloading. I am contemplating purchasing some Starline brass. The Starline seems to be relatively inexpensive. Can anyone vouch for the quality? Thank you

Just received my wife's new McSwirly for her Remington 700. I had the stock aluminum pillar bedded. What is the correct torque settings for the actions screws? I am thinking 60lb. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Last summer, I read two compilations of stories of Jack O'Connor. Since that time, I have been enamored with the "rifleman's rifle." A few months ago, I purchased a pre 64 model 70 in .270. I am contemplating a "new" scope for the rifle. I would like to purchase a new or newer scope that...

I have one of the RCBS vibratory case cleaners and was contemplating tumbling some loaded .22 rounds to clean them up a little. Is a stupid idea?

Never loaded for the .270 before. Was contemplating the 140 g AB but noticed that SPS has 150 g BTs. What grain bullet/powder combo do you folks recommend?? Focusing on deer/antelope/black bear with this bullet/cartridge combo. I have other rifles for elk.

Contemplating picking up an old girl. She is, I believe a 1950, Model 70 in .270. I don't see any rust. The wood is worn with small scratches but no big dings or scrapes. I would have to clean the bore really well to tell you about the bore. She was oiled up and placed in a soft case for...

I have a 7.25" SRH in .44 that I have not shot in about 5 years. I have had RCBS dies for about two years for the 44 so I decided to get off of my duff and start shooting it. I ordered up 200 of the 300 grain sporting handgun JHP from SPS a couple of weeks ago and purchased some H110. I have...

Can a person perform load development while breaking in a new barrel? Will pressures change as the barrel is broken in? Thoughts and input appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hopefully the Nosler Professional in 280 AI will be under my Christmas tree this year. There is a small delay since I am having a second clip made and they have to have the rifle there to make the clip. Most of the tasks associated with purchasing an new rifle in a new caliber have been...

Today, I purchased a .280 AI from Nosler. I have always used RCBS dies, but I am contemplating purchasing a different brand to possibly help make more accurate ammunition. I have been unable to locate Forester dies in the the 280 AI. I saw a couple of different sites advertising Redding dies...

Just purchased my first Nosler Profession in .280 AI at $520 OFF! I can't wait!! :mrgreen: :twisted:
