Threading and chopping a barrel?
Let us know how that new 24" Pac-Nor polygonal works! 😂 -

Opinions please!!!
I've got 3 Vortex, 2 Redfields, 1 Tasco, 3 Sightron, 5 Crimson Trace, and a 1980s Simmons. Make that 3 Redfields. I forgot the one that came on the German made Weatherby Mark V Deluxe, circa 1970s? The only scopes I have ever needed to send in for warranty is the Burris Fullfields that I... -

For Sale: Weatherby Mark V Fibermark S/S 7mm Wby Mag, NICE!
I'd keep her! You'd have to ship the ammo hazmat. Almost the cost of a new box of ammo. If I didn't already have 3 Mark V's, one in 7mm WBY already I'd definitely be interested! Especially with the price of a new Mark V!! Keep her, shoot her, and tell us the tales! -

Opinions please!!!

When ballistics and moa don’t match
At distance, my ballistics calculator is never dead on for the first shot of a new load. I often tweak the BC, and/or the velocity. Nosler ABLR are typically 8-12" higher than the ballistics calculator at 800 yards. -

Threading and chopping a barrel?
@golfer, Justin, personally, I wouldn't do it. It's already a 300WSM. It's gonna be loud! Less so with a suppressor. But still freaking loud. Suppressors have shown to increase muzzle velocity. But not by a huge extent. Which helps with the shortened barrel. But it's still a 300WSM... -

What should i get? What shells are good to?
In 20ga I have a Tri Star Cobra II pump. And a CZ 720 gas semi auto. The CZ was the expensive one bought new for $475. The Tri Star new was in the $300 if I remember correctly. Both have beautiful wood! Both came with removable chokes. For doves, you might want to look at the 28ga also... -

A little something different....
As I've mentioned before, IF I decided to get a sshhhhh.. Then it would be a titanium can from Caylee's Cans. At $185, wouldn't need to sell off any guns to afford it. -

Could this style of bugle tube work for elk?
The other year while I was archery deer hunting, I heard someone calling with a musical instrument. Trumpet? You could hear the individual notes they were playing as they went up and down in pitch. Nothing answered them back. I think part of it may have been that they were too loud. I was... -

Here's a first
@Redmt, 6.5 Creedmoor does NOT get a roll crimp! Typically no crimp at all. But if you're having accuracy issues with mono bullets, sometimes a taper crimp can help.- std7mag

Once fired brass sizing
Personally, if I don't know the person that I'm buying or even being given the brass from, I won't take it. I've been gotten several times with "once fired" for the primers not to stay in. I only buy virgin brass, or from someone I know.- std7mag

Do you remember your first?
Oh yeah! I was reloading 7mm Rem Mag with the Lee Wack A Mole style reloader at the dining room table. My girl friend (wife now) put a quick end to that! Lol- std7mag

Byrna launcher perspectives wanted
I'm with the others on this. The Byrna will make the tree hugger in you happy. But if it's bodily harm that is intended towards myself or someone I care about, I want to unleash the Hounds of H*** itself!
