    What's your rule of thumb for changing COAL?

    I use Nosler’s tested COAL in their data. I always start at a grain or half a grain below their listed max charge. I have no idea the distance to my lands and do not care how far they are. I don’t do seating depth tests. I’ve never had a reason to. I also have zero desire to ever touch the...

    I don’t reload outside, so I’ve never had a temp or airflow problem.

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    It would never read the same thing twice. That juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for me. I switched to a digital scale and it’s been much more consistent. Problem solved.

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    I found beam scales to be WAY too slow and wildly inconsistent. I moved on pretty quickly. Would quit reloading, if I had to go back to using one.

    Long time comin’

    I’ve never needed a gunsmith to swap a trigger, but none of mine say Model 7 either. 😎

    Long time comin’

    Remington Model Seven are great little rifles. I have several. I killed my elk this year with my 7-08 version with 140 grain Accubond handloads. All of mine have their factory barrels.

    Tikka shooters here’s a nice accessory

    I know alot of folks like it. Just not comfortable or natural feeling to me in a hunting situation.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    I don’t like the looks of a pic rail. I use Sportsmatch rings on mine. UM is a more expensive option. Leupold Backcountry rings is another great option. I use them on a different rifle brand.

    Tikka shooters here’s a nice accessory

    I tried the vertical grip because of the hype. I hated it and sent it back. I find the regular grip to be much more natural for me. If I shot off a bench all the time, I could see the draw to them I guess.

    Nosler brass

    I’ve had great luck with Nosler/Norma brass. It’s been good to go for me.

    You can choose to give your money to whoever you want. I choose based off of how good a product is that I’m buying. If you’re sticking to those same moral standards for all companies and products, then you won’t be buying very much of anything. Lol

    Bye Bye Hoyt

    Man, I just never care or know about who is shooting what bow or gun. I make my decisions off of what I like, not what someone else tells me to. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    7-08 120 vs 140 nosler bt

    There’s some cutaways of both weights floating around the interwebs that show the difference and why the 120 is tougher. Pretty cool visual. Thanks to the silhouette guys for making it a tougher bullet!!
