    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    Glad it worked out. I agree with your conclusions, at least for what we’re doing.

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    Ha! I’ve shot inside with a bare muzzle, a brake would be nasty. Surprised it didn’t take pictures off your wall.

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I haven't listened to that one specifically but what I currently do is pretty similar to Miles. It's definitely informed by the tests he spent his spare time and money doing, using Hornady's equipment. There's lots of guys at the top in PRS/NRL and even F-Class who do similarly. I think Tate...

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I won't claim to have "the" way, but I'll tell you what I do. With something I'm very familiar with, like 6 Dasher, I just pick a load based on experience. I might only load 20 to confirm, or depending on circumstances I might load a couple hundred. I've competed with three loads out of my...

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I'll use a ladder occasionally to find pressure and velocity for a new combination (usually loading at the range instead of at home). I don't use them anymore to find accuracy, personally.

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    Yep, that’s my understanding.

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    I know of some guys in the Paradise Valley who like to go that route. Apparently they have trouble keeping sheets in place prior to pouring due to wind. Did a friend’s basement and garage that way. Never been involved myself.

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    I never especially favored the feel of the Jewell's, even when they were THE precision trigger for 700 pattern actions. They have always been known for being fickle and fragile, but I never gave them a chance due to personal preference regarding the feel. Just not my thing, lots of guys shoot...

    How do you store reloaded ammo

    I like to shoot. I still practice some with hunting and match rifles, but mixing 223's in makes it easier to shoot more.

    How do you store reloaded ammo

    Anything that fits (BR, Dasher, Creed's, 243, etc) goes in Alpha boxes. If it's Alpha brass they come with it, if not I'm happy to pay the $8.00, they're my favorite. https://alphamunitions.com/product/alpha-ammo-box/ Most of my 223 practice ammo is in ammo cans.

    Seekins Havak 22 Creedmoor

    That’s pretty phenomenal performance. Glad to hear Seekins is releasing the 22 Creed, I’ve been hearing about it for a while.

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    My 6 Creed PH2 has shot phenomenal. The performance per dollar is hard to match. I prefer the Tikka actions but for NRL Hunter it made more sense. Tikka is supposedly releasing a 6 Creed themselves this year.
