Honestly you’re guess is as good as mine; I haven’t really dug into it though as I recently became aware of… Germany’s AfD “far right” party is surging in the polls with massive voter turnout reported in Saxony-Anhalt and might be the first far right party to lead a German State since 1945...

75gr semi spitzer with IMR3031 powder, CCI #41 primer(NATO/milspec) and Lake City brass. Excellent in both 10” suppressed 1:8 barrel as well as 16” 1:9 Finally got some live target testing and results were better than expected; I’m not used to a 5.56 hitting with this much authority. Entrance...

Glad to see you making good use of what you have while waiting for the new one; may not be what you wanted but I imagine it’s satisfying nonetheless.

Well said, the cheapest I’ve seen Jamison .470 new brass on gunbroker is higher than what you paid for the loaded ammo.

Depends, in Texas there really is no winter prep until just before a blizzard is projected to dump 3” of snow; then the parking lot of every liquor store will be full and firewood will reach insane prices in urban areas. In Southern Oklahoma my elderly relatives just wait for it to freeze...

That’s why you look for those old vibrating hockey board games at yard sales…..

If you don’t want that Jamison brass I’ll buy it once fired from you, it’s what my .470 is regulated with and it’s good quality and no longer produced.

I’d be willing to bet they stabilize in a 16” 1:9 barrel, I’m currently shooting 75hr Hornady SBR rounds with great affect and would like to try these on pigs.

Not a concern for me as stated above quick reloads back in the day took preference over heavy metal concerns. The only case of high lead levels I’ve ever know was a couple that did extensive competition handgun shooting and would sort brass on their kitchen table after tumbling. They had an...

Agreed, I just finished load development for .300win with 200gr LRX-BT for my travel load, went with the LRX for the faster opening. I also loaded 150rnds of .300win Hornady BTSP Interlocks as they are my deer culling, pig hunting and practice round( I also use the 140gr Interlock in .270win...

M.E.C. Mountain Equipment Co-op Think of it like REI but generally without the China crap quality; $5 makes you a member of the Co-op for life. https://www.mec.ca/en/stores/calgary Also stop by a pharmacy and buy a bottle of the cough syrup that actually works, you have to ask for it at the...

This! We’ve had several threads and has to be hundreds of posts on the matter, but @SCmackey summed it usually beautifully. “Ammo must be stored in factory packaging OR packaging specifically designed for storing ammunition; loose ammo will not be permitted” - I believe is the verbiage. 11lbs...

My disdain for the SGK goes back 20+ years when I started loading my own ammo with 130gr SGK in .270Win. I shot my first and second deer SGKs’ and I haven’t loaded another single Sierra ever since. FYI - the second deer I shot at 150yds and it ran off and died because it fell in a creek and...

Nice, does this ammo require 1:8 twist barrel?

150rnds of .300win

I’ve got the 350gr RNSN HD going 2,275fps out of my 23” barrel; I could go faster but the accuracy is great and hits exact same POI as the 350gr FMJ. My buddy has the 350gr RNSN HD and North Fork FPS hitting same POI in his Winchester M70 stainless.

Manufactured scarcity?

I could tell you horror stories of what’s gone into burn pits while land clearing for construction sites; hell one contract we bid a single line item on the bid was 4,000ac of tree clearing for the building of a reservoir.

I think they were done as a precursor to cross bolts; more material left behind, more strength in that area.

Love Selous plates, when done well their a thing of beauty.

@BTP-KennethWRoyce If you’re referring to the girl, her name is Hannah and she graduated from Alabama a couple years ago and now works in marketing for the Dallas Cowboys. If you’re not, then go eat a bag of dicks.

I can go either way, when we cull heavy and I have help we’ll gut 6 and let them hang overnight so I can make the back strap as bone in racks that I use to demonstrate how you can eat deer prepared in ways other than fried. If we’re just wanting camp meat there is no reason to gut.

The most important part of recoil management is one that I haven't seen a single member post about..... Mental preparation If you go into a fight knowing you are going to get your ass handed to you, then you have brought about your own destiny. I see it all the time with deer "hunters" and...

The forend looks to be a replacement and badly matched, is that a crack in the forend?

Look up a picture of his cut down BAR, barrel cut short and 2-20rnd magazines welded end to end for 40 rounds and preferred to steel AP ammo from armories to penetrate car doors and engine blocks.

Excellent write up, love how you used the word interloper. I had my first Safari booked for July 2024 in the Omay and months after I payed the deposit an interloper posted on this forum that they now owned rights to Omay for 2024 and anyone with hunts booked should contact the interloper to...

Sorry can’t remember who I fished with out of Cairns as I was mainly diving; if your in Cairns try “Prawn Star” it’s a floating restaurant in the Marina if only to see the giant grouper that lives around the boat feeding in prawn heads that get tossed over.

The people who had my birthdate wrong on my gun paperwork and had my scope serial# down as my rifle serial# on my trip to Zim in 24; thankgod I checked the approved paperwork, there was enough time to get it resolved but I hate to think of the shit storm that would have cause to land in...

You have everything pursuit, hunt, gun details, fire and on and on until the total is a sum greater than its parts…. True adventure, well done sir!

I don’t know about that, the closest I came to getting scammed on a different notable Texas site, I spoke with the “seller” of a Ruger #1 .458win; he was obviously an older white man and he definitely knew plenty about guns and hunting. Where he screwed up was being too aggressive about selling...

Stranger things have happened than people to leave abruptly and may be under a non compete that allows no contact; or something as innocent as accidentally blocking you. I will say Nicole at Gracy has been excellent thus far.

Yes, I’ve brought back moose meat from Ontario and have friends that drive up from Dallas every year and do it. After all the tags and licenses you still have to buy a “moose export permit” for the privilege of taking the meat home, think it’s $40-50 permit.

As someone that’s flown internationally with fish, the best way is to send an email to customs, if they say yes they will also list off other agencies that may have jurisdiction…. Copy that email approving customs and then repeat with the agencies listed. Keep copies of all the emails with you...

I've heard the "self medicate" excuse from social workers in Austin ad nauseam while helping deal with homeless issues and it's just a form of enablement. My experience in dealing with the homeless is that the vast majority of them are simply drug addicts and or of a mental mindset that they...

Agreed, the blue haired wildebeasts online are talking about how her husband made $400K a year and had her driving a new KIA- So that alone shows that she was abused! Personally, I'm starting to agree with the comment expressed in the first 15 seconds of this video....

200yd berm is under repair, but when it’s done we’ll be good to 1/2mile

Well done, yesterday I finalized load development on my .300win 200gr LRX-BT @2,885fps 100yds

When I bought my .470 I bought 8lbs of powder which is enough for 700+ rounds and I’m more than half way through it. The real issue is component availability, so when you can find it stock up so you have consistent lot numbers and put effort into storing properly.

Finished load development on the .300Win 200gr Barnes LRX-BT “Travel Load” 10 shot Average of 2,885fps. 3 shot group @100yds with tripod adjustable front rest and rear bag, now I just need to order my custom CDS dial. Special thanks to @Mark A Ouellette for suggesting H4831sc powder.

Well here is a Ruger M77MKII .300win in Hogue stock that I finalized load development for this morning using a tripod front end rest.

Your leaving out the “labor contractors” and if you think that $37.50 per hour you pay translates into them making $37.50hr then you are in denial; also as far as black labor being excluded. How many black laborers speak Spanish? which is often required of US citizens to work with illegals...

The Lee trimmer was returned, I now use the Forster as seen above.

This is why I chose the 200gr LRX for my .300Win “travel load” I want the option to go 600yds-700yds with my .300win and 3-15x40 VX5 and take advantage of the custom dial once I finalized load data. As of now I have the 200gr LRX @2900fps from a 23” barrel. So I’ll have the ability to reach...

Excellent, I think the Terminal ascent is the TBBC with a polymer tip on it and I wished they sold it as a reloading component. Edit - I just found you can order them direct from federal for reloading.

Don’t know, but those same houses buy and resell all the time. If slugged gold bars with serial numbers were purchased by and delivered to the diamond district in NYC then they can get into anywhere. If you look at the first video he puts the slugged coin through electro density tester and it...

Everyone is screaming trades today, and I agree; the problem is that public education in this country has done every thing possible to destroy trades classes in school, while at the same time telling every student that if they didn't go to college "for any degree" then they would end up poor and...

When Jimmy Carter opened up South Florida to Cuban migrants in the late 70's the starting pay for construction workers in Florida dropped by 15% within 2 years; then Reagan doubled down on the idiocy and gave 6 million illegals amnesty....... Your hispanic service crews are not making minimum...

One thing to note about the Saint Gaudens double eagles - They were counterfeited in real gold for the jewelry trade in the middle east as well as counterfeited in base metals as well in China. The real ones weigh 33.44g There are other scary good fake gold coins out there FYI - There are a...

X2 on the Talley they just flat out work. I still lap them though and after lapping paint a THIN layer of liquid electric tape on the inside of the rings before torquing to spec. No ring marks and the scope is not moving, morris at Alaska Arms taught me that.
