    Gun Builds Being Contemplated

    With that kind of speed and twist rate, those light bullets may not survive.

    Christensen Arms

    Because it's the new hotness But also because it's "done right" for long range shooting. 300 Win Mag is more common, but that's about all it's got going for it. The cases are belted, and they're usually not throated or twisted to shoot heavy-for-caliber bullets. The Nosler cartridges are...

    Reloading Newbie Questions?

    Ok, cool. I load both of those, although the 9mm (and handgun rounds in general) are a more recent endeavor. Loading handgun is a bit different from rifle though. For example, with straight-wall brass like 9mm, you need to use an expander die before seating a bullet. which is not something...

    What cartridge are you going to start with? In any case, get this: https://www.hornady.com/reloading/handbook Along with load data, it also has a nice preface section that covers a lot of the terminology and other how-to basics.

    Reloading equipment

    I agree the initial post was a little off-putting, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I don't really have any equipment I can spare, but I don't mind sharing my knowledge. I figure once he sees what all goes into it, he'll realize it's not worth the hassle for the average shooter.

    Reloading equipment

    If you're looking to get into reloading to save money, you probably have the wrong goal. While it can be done cheaper if you use cheap components, to me it's more about tailoring loads in an attempt to find the pinnacle of precision for your rifle. The startup costs can be huge. You need (at...

    Minnesota is going to burn again

    As I understand it, the guy that got shot was not the subject of the warrant, so how'd that work out?

    Minnesota is going to burn again

    I'd like to see police take down these "certain perps" with more intelligence and less brute force. If I get pulled out of a deep sleep by the sounds of people in my house, you better believe I'd be gabbing for my gun too. If you don't think this could happen to you, you haven't been...

    Minnesota is going to burn again

    I don't get the point of them either. Seems like good way to get people (on both sides) killed.

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    yeah, just a fiberglass pipe wrap. You can probably only get one layer in there.

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    I checked it yesterday morning after it had been like -27 overnight, and it was still wide open. From my experience, it definitely would have been froze shut without it.

    If the only difference between 325 WSM and 300 WSM is the neck diameter (I haven't checked), then necking down would be the way to go. You'd only be necking down .015 (roughly), whereas necking up from 7mm WSM would be .024. I've necked down both 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creed to 6mm versions and...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    Those insul-vents sure look cheesy -- they're basically two small black buckets screwed together with some holes drilled in them, and a thin Styrofoam liner -- but (so far) they appear to work. I thought mine was froze up the other day at about 9 below... ...but it was actually still very...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    Was hoping the Insul-vents worked better. I may try them anyway. The dipshit that built my house put 45 elbow just below the roof line in the attic. I would need something flexible to get down to the heated / insulated area.

    So I bought some land...

    It's hard to tell from an arial shot, but that "snaking low spot" is pretty deep, and the hilliness conceals most of pasture area. The only place you can really see in there from the road is on the south side, looking north toward the existing stock dam. That's why I want to plant some stuff...

    So I bought some land...

    Not really. It's a lot closer to Waubay lake. Roy lake is nice. I've camped there many times. If I'm fishing there, it's usually for bass, so not sure if it's a "bucket list" destination or not.

    So I bought some land...

    It's actually not too far from Webster. I grew up near Sisseton, so I'm familiar with the area. Logged many, many hours picking rocks with a 5 gallon bucket, so I know what to expect there as well :) - - - Updated - - - Thank you. That's very helpful. I'll reach out to the habitat advisor.

    So I bought some land...

    My main goal is to eventually harvest deer on my own land. Some upland birds would be a bonus. I hope to create some winter cover. There are about 4 or 5 rows of cedars on the west side of the pasture area. You can't really see them in the image above because the satellite imagery is a few...
