    Ammunition shortage

    I use 5 round to check the groups, I will also check the speed with a chronograph for my records. I lucky in that I picked up 5 lbs of RL 22 a few years ago and still have quite a bit left. It is interesting in that the newest Barnes manual doesn't even list it for my .340 Weatherby loads...

    Ammunition shortage

    Ok, back to the ammo shortage. I am headed to Denver on Thursday and plan on hitting a few stores both large and small and take a look at what they have. According to their web sites they don't have anything that I need but I'll look anyway. I took stock of my reloading bullets and have...

    Ammunition shortage

    That's the truth, back when I was playing sports we had a doctor that would do a 5 minute exam and charge us a buck. I think that he had us jump and down for 30 seconds or a minute. He passed everyone.

    Ammunition shortage

    Back when I had a class C license I found that the DOT annual physical was not that hard to pass. They checked my eyesight, and heart, then then stood a short distance away and whispered a few words and asked me to repeat them. In all it took around 5-10 minutes to complete. It was just...

    Ammunition shortage

    A friend of mine drove for Walmart and he then retired. 6 months later they called him and asked him to come back. With what he is making a year and if he works 5 more years he will have one real nice nest egg to actually retire on. People can say what they want about Walmart but listening...

    What scope power numbers mean?

    If you have 3 numbers on a scope then it is a variable scope, in that it will have one low magnification and then increase to the max magnification. So if it was as Kid said a 3-9 not 3x9 the low end of the power will be 3x or 3 times bigger than looking at it with just your eyes, the 9x would...

    Ammunition shortage

    People are having problems locating any popular ammo in stores right now. Over the last week I was in 5 sporting goods dealers and about the only ammo that I saw was those that not very many people shoot. If you need some you need to find out when the stores get their deliveries and then...

    I Found A OOP's Today

    That is where when you reload you need to come up with a system that works for you as you go through the steps. For me once I am ready to put the round together I'll prime a group of cases then move to loading the powder and bullets. I use a RCBS Chargemaster now and while it is dumping the...

    I Found A OOP's Today

    Well, my scale is wore out. I went through close to 3000 rounds today and all came out where they were suppose to. That's one way to do a inventory.

    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    A couple of years ago I was hunting elk with my brother in law and we spotted a pie bald spike bull that he wanted to shoot. Come opening day we hiked into the canyon and when the sun came up we spotted another hunter across the canyon from us. After a few hours we had seen a few elk but not...

    I Found A OOP's Today

    It just goes to show that no matter how careful you are that you can and will end up making a mistake. When loading my rifle rounds I will dump the powder into a pan that came with the scale, weigh it, and then dump it into the case. I have no idea of what happened with this one.
