    Will all this snow raise water elevation?

    I have a friend who watches soil temp a fair bit. I know at least in W ND, the soil temp was above freezing when the bigger snow systems arrived. Now the snow is like an insulating blanket and unless we drop into the deep freeze for several extended periods over the winter, the frost won't be...

    Diesel Fuel Expert Advice Needed

    Assuming you're not actually running some kind of an engine/motor on this fuel, but, you're using it to make an actual fire under a boiler. A Plumbing/Heating expert is probably more along the lines of what you need regarding fuel quality/stability for this application. Someone more...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    Yep. Along w/Remington being down, Italy was especially hard hit w/CV-19, that's where lots of Fiocchi ammo is made. Also, lots of Federal/American Eagle/Estate ammo made in MN. MN was downright draconian w/their CV-19 reduced workforce mandates for a VERY long time. Regarding #6, it's not...

    .308 Fun

    Former co-worker shot a piece of 3/8" cold-rolled w/.17Rem and popped a hole @ 100yds w/factory Rem 25's.

    .308 Fun

    Just because those 147's are the same weight, doesn't mean they're the same construction. I'd lay a C-Note down betting the 257Wby w/100 TSX would Swiss-cheese that 1/2" plate.

    Fried Egg Tutorial

    Cast Iron, max heat, pat of butter. Just when the butter starts the 1st wisp of smoke, crack the eggs and immediately reduce heat to med-low. When the whites are almost done, just a little runny still on top, flip. 30-45 seconds just to finish the whites and skin over the yolk and remove...

    Forster co-ax reloading press

    I've been using a Forster Co-Ax for ~15yrs for all my single-stage needs. I use all kinds of different brand dies in it. Forster obviously, but also Redding, RCBS, and Lee. Just replace the lock-rings and use what you've got. In a pinch, Redding lock-rings actually work pretty well in a...

    300 win mag ammo

    Buggered tips are a non-issue. Pull any 10 random Bergers out of a box and compare the base-to-meplat OAL, all over the board.

    300 win mag ammo

    I have 2 friends who've hunted Polar Bears w/Inuit guides. The firearm they saw the most of up there in the hands of locals was the Savage 340 in 222 Rem shooting 50gn or 55gn soft-points for everything from grouse to bears because that's what they had.

    300 win mag ammo

    Short answer: No, no reason not to use a soft-point of some sort. I use Barnes TSX because during the years of unlimited doe tags, their extremely reliable performance across multiple bullet diameters, weights, and impact velocities became quite obvious: Caliber in/Golf-ball sized out...
