    Sidearm preference

    Planning for our most recent Alaska debacle allowed me to spend a great deal of time getting input from a rather large number of sportsman "living this every day" They clearly were in two groups when it came to handguns. 1) Wheel guns throwing flames 2) Autos Two items both groups agreed...

    CO Wildlife Commission Meeting January 2022

    Encouraging to see some of the commissioners utilize some common sense and leadership. Disappointing to see some with clear agendas that they try and insert everywhere.

    Primer Seat Depth, Consistency and ES

    Wanted to see from the forum if anyone has done any testing with your hunting load. Specifically 1) Has anyone taken their brass and measured primer pocket depths for consistency? 2) Have you then seated your primers exactly 3 to 4 thousands deeper than the case? Or have found a node measured...

    FL Bushing Die then Expander Mandrel to Set Neck Tension

    So couple things going on. A Redding S type full length bushing die has a bushing in the top end that goes over the neck. You get a bushing and install it that matches your bullet brass combo. Establishes an OD exactly. Usually .001 to .003 smaller than the loaded rounds OD. Each brass brand...

    FL Bushing Die then Expander Mandrel to Set Neck Tension

    Does anyone use a full length bushing die to resize and bump the shoulder then use a expander mandrel to set neck tension/concentricity? For those that do it what's your work flow? do you do it post trim, deburr/chamfer? Do you use a dry lube? Carbide vice steel mandrel? Thanks

    Rifle scope decision 🤔

    Those are both in the same price category scope and are both very close in my opinion. Close enough the eye couldn't tell. The Meopta Meopro is not a full blown Zeiss so its in the same class as the VX3 HD. I'd lean towards the Leupold for their no non sense return policy/service.

    Eastmans Coffee Cocoa Rub with Bacon Shroom Gravy

    I could have made a meal out of the mashed potatoes. It says in the article its rich and hearty, sticks to your bones meal. Its no joke spot on.

    Eastmans Coffee Cocoa Rub with Bacon Shroom Gravy

    While 4th season hunting in Colorado last week I saw this recipe in one of the Eastmans magazines at the cabin. Fast forward one week to the " I cant find an elk to save my ass" Wyoming.......we decided to at least eat some. 😃

    Agree. The date change and more time to rest sure did something, I think.
