    Good Looking Backstrap

    Counter-intuitive, but, get your sear pan hotter. You'll get the char more quickly without migrating the "doneness" towards the middle. On a gas or charcoal grill, I want a 600 degree MINIMUM grill temp before I attempt to sear/char. 1.5-2min/ side and then move to indirect heat with a probe...

    For you hardcore shooters out there, True Velocity Ammunition...

    Hard NO for me. Can’t fathom giving up the ability to make any/all changes I damned-well please.

    HV 7RM Powders

    QL = Quickload https://www.neconos.com/quickload-ballistic-prediction-software/ QL pretty much negates the need for any/all reloading manuals. Additionally, it gives you a way to put things together that aren't in any manuals. It's especially helpful when you have to use what you have/can...

    Flex Seal Rifle Bedding?

    We used clear RVT in bow limb-pockets well over a decade before any of the vibration dampening circle thingys were inserted into risers.

    HV 7RM Powders

    7977 and 8133 are probably too slow in the ‘06 based cases unless you’re quite heavy for caliber and/or have a long bbl. QL says case-fill happens prior to pressure. Neck down the ‘06 to 25 or 24 and 7977/8133 w/heavy bullets shines brighter. It’s not just length, girth matters as well both...

    Flex Seal Rifle Bedding?

    Action needs to be rigid. There may be merit to using it in the bbl channel to absorb vibes.

    HV 7RM Powders

    The scarcity of H-Extreme and Alliant Reloader series of powders helped the Enduron line catch on much more quickly than it would've under "normal" circumstances. More choice is a GOOD thing. The Enduron powders are made in Canada which is also a good thing, don't have to wait for boats of...

    Load development for a 7x57 mauser

    I basically made mine duplicate the 7-08 w/R-15 and 120TSX @ 3050fps. They're very efficient deer killers @ that speed. I suspect you could use them for a whole bunch of other critters as well. I've not shot them but I've read that 120gn .284 Nosler Ballistic tips have a bit thicker jacket...

    Reloading Newbie Questions?

    All new hulls get run in/over the expander ball and rounded out before loading anyway.

    Youth Deer Season

    Dad took me to MT Antelope hunting when I was 12 because ND said I was too young for big-game hunting @ home. My 12yr old has decided for now that she'd rather not hunt, she barely has it in her to discipline the dog. That said, she will not have any choice in the matter regarding whether or...

    Gas or Electric

    I was in Seattle for a meeting back in July. I took an Uber from the hotel back to the airport when the meeting was done. Uber driver had a ~4-5yr old Tesla 3?? It rode nice, was as quiet as any other 4-door sedan, just heard the tire/road noise. Had IIRC ~250Mi range and he'd usually find...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    While most standard full-length sizing dies work just fine, if loading exclusively for a semi-auto I think a small-base sizing die is preferable as a better guarantor of proper feed/function. I'd say that for any chambering and/or any make/model of semi-auto. AR, BAR, Rem 740/742/7400, Benelli...

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    That'd be a Martini Cadet. About the time The US army was using the trapdoor Springfield, the British army was using a large version of your grandpa's 'Bee chambered in 577-450. If you've seen the move "Zulu" then you've seen the large-bore Marini's in action. Former co-worker had a...

    Rifle cleaning kit

    If I plan right, wipe out the night before, couple dry patches, wet patch of Butches. If that comes through clean, I’m done “cleaning”, then run a couple of rubbing alcohol patches through, then a couple dry patches and I’m done. if I get blue on the Butches patches then I make 10-20 swipes...
