    Case volume physics

    @millerkiller77 , same rifle, same full length sizing with slight shoulder bump on the cases all in one sizing session, cases were once fired factory ammo, not annealed, all trimmed exactly the same. 35-40 fps ES is way better than factory ammo so I’m happy there. I’m not good enough to shoot...

    Case volume physics

    For many years before i was a reloader, i would buy factory ammo, all brands, and save the brass because “someday i was going to reload.” Well i did and I’ve been reloading now for about 5 or 6 years. I shoot a 270 Win. I recently decided to use a bag of Hornady brass that i had collected and...

    Grip tape for a slippery rifle

    Stock Painting Project Complete

    Rejuvenating an older post, i took on my first rifle build, starting from a Tikka T3x superlite in 270 win, pulled off the plastic stock and replaced with a Wildcat ultralite stock, glass bedded the receiver and a fresh paint job. Ended up 6lbs-15oz with the vx5 scope.

    Swarovski Z3 and Z5 Riflescopes the Same Glass?

    Swarovskioptik would know for sure and they’d get back to you quickly if you email them. I’d venture to say the glass is phenomenal in either case… my Z5 is. You won’t be disappointed with either one.

    Hunting & Odor from Hot-Hands ??

    I’ve wondered over the years about using those Hot-Hands iron powder pouches while deer hunting. They work fairly well to generate heat in cold conditions. I get cold pretty easily, especially sitting. My question is, does anyone have any experience where the HH emit an odor that might spook...
