    Hornady Superformance

    I've heard that a lot of people have had good luck with Superformance in their 6.5 MB and found a pound of it while fishing in northern MN. I've yet to load any but has anyone given it a shot? How do you like it? I typically use H4350 in my 6.5 and 30-06 but finding that is easier said than done...

    onX Off-Road

    Anyone out west had a chance to use the new off-road app from onX? It looks like it has some trails marked around my part of Wisconsin and I would imagine it would be really useful for you guys out there or for out of state hunters heading out west for a hunt.

    Buying on a lot vs. ordering from factory

    My wife and I have decided on buying a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. For the past ten years I've been driving the same old rust bucket 2000 Xterra and it's been paid for for a loooong time and it's been a great rig. It's now at over 250k miles and will be passed down to a brother-in-law. Since...

    Meat Damage vs. Killing Power

    This season I was able to take 4 whitetails with a rifle and two with a bow. My dad and brother added three to the mix as well with their rifles. Up until this season all I had been loading for us was Hornady ELD-X and SSTs in our 30-06s and I hunted a bit with my 6.5 MB as well. With two years...

    Time-lapse with Sony

    I've seen that Marcus has been doing quite a few time-lapses lately on the videos and got to thinking; any of you with Sony cameras - do you buy the Sony app to do time-lapses or do you use another method?

    Creedmoor/Accubond Excellence

    I finally got around to getting my hands on some 130gr Accubonds and they shot great! 41, 41.5, and 42.4 grains of H4350 all gave me half inch groups. I'll be excited to see what they do on whitetails this fall.

    35 Whelen

    I'm thinking about working with the old man on getting a donor action and making something unique. As of right now, we both would love to have a Whelen (mostly because it sounds cool and because it's slightly nostalgic for pa) and I'm wondering who of you have some experience with it? Any...

    Kenetrek Mountain Extreme vs. Mountain Guide

    From what I can tell they both just have a different rubber material for the outsole. I know that the Mountain Guides are a discontinued line, but I'm hoping that you guys might have some insight on the difference as I may have found a decent used pair.

    Temperature Insensitive Powders

    This post is not hunting related, just the pondering of a mid-winter North Dakotan. While reading articles about long range target shooting I have come upon the topic of powders and temperature sensitivity/insensitivity. Typically, this isn't something that I would worry about with my hunting...

    Coues Hind Quarter Recipe

    After watching part 3 of the Arizona hunt and drooling at my desk, I'm wondering how you guys went about cooking the hind quarter there? I personally have an older beat up Traeger grill (it was an old show model that my dad dropped out of his truck back in the day) and am hoping that you guys...

    Peterson Brass

    I figured that a fellow Norwegian-American like myself (judging by the last name of the man and the company) would be the person to trust to over-engineer a piece of brass, so I went ahead and ordered a batch of 50. Anyone have any experience with Peterson brass? There doesn't seem to be much...

    Missing Primer Coping

    Alright guys. Most of you reloaders out there are probably fairly detailed people with mild OCD. How do you cope with either screwing up a primer or losing one out of a pack of 100? I really like nice, even boxes with perfect numbers to go in my ammo boxes. What do you guys do to cope with the...

    Reloading/Shooting/Firearm Projects - Let's Hear About 'Em!

    With snow blowing everywhere and near whiteout conditions and hunting mostly on hold, I've been piddling around in my basement doing some reloading. Although my projects aren't nearly as involved as I'm sure many of yours will be, I'm interested to hear what you're all working on. As many of...

    Measuring Case OAL w/o Hornady Gauge?

    Wondering if you guys have any methods that I haven't heard of yet. What I used for my '06 is a case that I dremeled a slot out of the neck. I then pinched it slightly so it would hold tightly to a bullet, inserted the bullet slightly into the neck, and slowly pushed it forward into the lands. I...

    Range Brass Prep

    At the local indoor range they sell (mostly) once fired brass at the front desk. I just picked up a batch of nearly all Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass, with a couple of Noslers thrown in there. Being a popular alternative to the .308 in semi-autos, I see that there are some dents on the walls...

    Superformance Powder Any Good?

    Hey guys. Anyone have any experience with Superformance powders? Looking at the velocities for the '06 and 6.5 Schmedium T-Shirt with heavy bullets and it seems to be magical, but I never hear anyone talking about it on here. I think it's what Hornady loads in their Superformance line, but can...

    Barrel Length/Powder Selection

    Hey guys, The barrel of my new rifle is 26" and the barrels used in the Hornady book for testing loads is 24". I know it's probably not a huge deal, but I was wondering if a guy should focus on slightly slower burning powders knowing this? Or have you found that it's not enough of a difference...

    Plastic Stock Stiffening

    Anyone have a go-to filler for doing this? I'm not in the position at this point to put a new stock on my new Savage 12fv, but would like to stiffen up the stock a bit. It's actually really nice for a plastic stock but does bend a bit. I got the recoil lug bedded in using JB weld, but it could...

    Bullet Selection

    Hey all. 'Tis the season for bullet discussions. I was perusing the local Scheels last night and thinking about which brand of bullets I'd like to try out next. As of right now, I've only reloaded Hornady bullets because they're so reasonably priced and they've all shot very well out of the...

    $300 Rilfe Scopes

    I'm planning on purchasing a Savage 12fv as soon as I can find a good deal on one and am wondering if you all have any recommendations on less expensive rifle scopes. I'm planning on this being more of a toy for reloading/long(ish) range shooting but can't really get into a $500-$1000 piece of...
