270 140gr accubond loads
Varget will give you decent accuracy, but the case volume and the burn rate keeps the velocity down. Ditto the W760. You're getting closer with the 4831 powders. Just remember that the 3 different manufacturers burn at different rates. Myself, I'm running the 140gr Ballistic Tip over a...- std7mag

Reasonably priced digital scale
I use the Frankford Arsenal Intellidropper. Under $200. I do check drops with my beam scale about every 10 or so. Has been accurate.- std7mag

A new way to look at corner crossing?
I can afford to walk. I can't afford a helicopter. Especially a helicopter making at least 2 trips. Also, "fairness" has Jack Schmidt to do with real estate. Here in Altoona PA, we watched 2 residential blocks get Eminent Domain for the hospital to put up parking garages. One block is an...- std7mag

Magnum vs Grand
Guessing Magnum reacts more like RL23 from what I've heard. Grand is supposed to replicate H1000. I'm doing fairly well with LRT. Takes a heavier load than other powders that I've tried. The 257 WBY loves it!!- std7mag

A new way to look at corner crossing?
I'm not sure how it would work. Coming from Maryland where it's illegal to be landlocked. Might have to dig into their laws for an example as to how it works.- std7mag

What's your rule of thumb for changing COAL?
In pistol cartridges I would whole heartedly agree with you. For bottle necked rifle cartridges, not so much. For 2 reasons. 1) case volume is greater. So differences in COAL don't affect it as much. 2) slower burning powder in rifle cartridges vs pistol and shotgun. @Dougfirtree, I use...- std7mag

Yet, public land that is landlocked isn't very public.- std7mag

One less pistol on my wish list
Back in the 1980s the Maryland State Police switched over to Sig for their service pistols. I watched a State Trooper hit the decocker, finger away from the trigger, and put a round in the wall. I've stayed away from Sig ever since then. The militaries "procurement" process for the Sig... -

RMEF weatherby vanguard 6.5 PRC
Wow! Sorry about your luck. Good luck in winning it. Bad luck that you collected it and walked out of the gunshop. The only way you will see anywhere near what it is worth is to privately sell it. A gunshop will give you 1/4 to 1/2 what it's worth. -

A new way to look at corner crossing?
I'm guessing that the biggest issue would be defining the word "necessity". Is it necessary to go onto that land to hunt? Probably not. Is it necessary to have an easement for access to said land, which is public land. Probably yes.- std7mag

A new way to look at corner crossing?
Ok, so I was watching YouTube and a video came up about a landlocked piece of property being surrounded by a fence. The property owner that was fenced in sued. Surrounding property owner had to take fence down due to a Federal law labeled "Access by Necessity". Essential saying that no land...- std7mag

Lightweight One Piece Rings And Bases
Ahhhh... Yeah, I don't use that type. I like the separate base and rings. Allows me to place the scope forwards or back to get the eye relief correct. -

Lightweight One Piece Rings And Bases
Are you talking rings and base as one unit? Or a one piece base and separate rings? If the second, I use EGW's one piece base on anything that will take them. www.egwguns.com They are kinda tall, so I pair them with low rings. Their Keystone line are some serious rings! Not light, but... -

Buy a new 44 Magnum (Which would you buy?)
I voted for the S&W 629. Since I don't have a 44 Mag, I just went off of the look and price. While the Colt Kodiak with the 4" ported barrel is aestheticly pleasing to me, the extra $400 plus would possibly be a deal breaker. To the point of it being a safe queen instead of shooting and... -

What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.
I have heard that the 6.5 Creedmoor will shoot a fly off of a T-Rex at a mile. Never heard anything about how it would work ON a T-Rex... If it were me though, I'd probably want something in the GAU 8 variety. 30mm with depleted uranium from an A10 Thunderbolt II. Or maybe an 8" Paladin...
