    What did you reload today?

    Loaded up second stage loads of 300 Win mag to test 180gr Woodleigh PP's over RL22 (which I'm down under 4lbs of, sadly), and a comparative load with 180gr Swift A-Frames. Also loaded some .375 H&H in 300gr Woodleigh PP's and 300gr Swift A-Frames, both over RL15. Ordered 22 Hornet dies...

    Do you have your ideal rifle or are you still looking for it?

    I'm relatively sure I've the "perfect" all around safari rifle in an AHR upgraded CZ550 in .375 H&H, topped with a Swarovski Z6i 1-6EE scope. It's digested numerous loads from 250-350gr with great accuracy and not much fuss on load workup. It's comfortable to shoot and pleasant to look at. The...

    Ruger m77 rsm vs Dakota arms vs heym bolt actions

    Not an easy call, here. I've handled a few of the RSMs, and have two 77 Hawkeyes with the same safety. I always felt the safety in the full rear position (bolt and trigger blocked) sat too close to the shroud and wasn't as easy to blindly "grab" with a thumb as the Winchester style is. I've...

    What can you just not seem to buy enough of.....

    I feel the two of you on the fruit front. Two kids of our own and 5 more nieces and nephews over frequently, plus friends from the neighborhood results in 6-10qts of berries and 4-5 gal of milk per week in our house. I haven't quite compared it to feeding a horse yet, but I'd be curious. Brass...

    USA: Pennsylvania Upland Hunting 2025

    Pheasant hunts are some of my favorite. We go down to Nescopeck 3-4 times a year to hunt on a preserve there. Great times. Congratulations on a good haul and good times.

    A How To: Shooting Doubles in the Dark…and subzero

    Great looking range and I really like that tripod standing mount with Garmin mount! Got a Xero C1 from Santa this week. After spending the afternoon freezing at 20*F shooting skeet, that indoor shooting port with a wood stove sounds awesome!

    PG Ammo Help

    I used 165gr TTSX's out of my 300 win mag in 2021 in South Africa with great results. I'm currently working up loads for 180gr A-Frames and 180gr Woodleigh PP's for it now for an upcoming leopard and plains game hunt in 2027. Haven't used the ELD-X bullets, but have read mixed reviews from...
