    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    Nah, that's my .270, born 50 years ago this year. Still shoots really straight with factory loads.

    That certainly is an option. Mostly I want to see if adjusting the loads will help accuracy. Plus I have about 8 boxes of brass laying around.

    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    I think you guys are right about this. I reached out to a friend here in town and he has the stuff, including the powder so the experiment will start this weekend.

    Any thoughts on primers? Also, for experimenting, would you increase the powder by 1 or 2 grains? According to Barnes, imr 4350 can vary from 53 to 57.5, the latter being compressed. 4350 powder is out of stock at midway, etc

    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    That's good info. I'll be using brass from the manufacturer that has only been shot one time. How much does shooting it a second time affect things?

    Thanks. I didn't know this. What do you mean "don't switch back and forth."? Do you mean clean barrel before trying a new load?

    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    Hello I’ve only reloaded once in my life. I know very little about powders, loads, etc. I have a ton of 30’06 brass and a friend said he’d help me reload it when I visit for Christmas. The downside is that I only go over there once a year, so experimenting with different loads will be a slow...

    Beware of Scammers on the Classifieds Section!

    Last year or so somebody figured out my password and took over my “RobG” account. He offered for sale some top end equipment for a low price. I’ve been around here for a long time so a lot of people knew me. Someone could have easily been scammed since they thought they were dealing with me...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I tried to get info on Bankhead's positions on her website. She has statements that rotate through the screen, but they don't linger long enough for you to read them. In other words, she can't even raise enough money for a decent website, yet people are adamant about voting for her over Seth...

    I think a Roth is more valuable during retirement than saving a little tax money now. At least it's worked out that way for me. YMMD. Bonasababy brought up a real good point about large unexpected expenses, which can sting a lot if you have to pay it with taxable money. That's a great reason for...

    Withdrawal calculator

    I don't disagree with the others, but this something you should talk with an advisor with, or do a lot of studying. How you build your IRAs depends a lot on your circumstances and needs. A large growth fund like SCHG might be appropriate for you, but it would be totally inappropriate for me...

    A Quack to remember

    I take it Sage is still repairing the XP? They couldn’t do anything about my LL.

    Never bone out shoulder again

    Ironically, I went down to dinner and DW had cooked up some antelope flat irons. We didn’t take the big inner sinew out so they were a little thicker, but you did have to cut the meat off that piece of sinew.

    Never bone out shoulder again

    Before you boil up all those blades, try taking the flat-iron steak out of them.

    A Quack to remember

    Not much of an XP person, but I cried after I watched my 30 year old custom LL do a suicide fall into a closing car door. I haven't found a replacement... However, I've been finding some good deals on ebay on other rods. I think I own seven 8 wts now...

    I think it depends, with the caveat that you have sufficient funds and a really good reason, such as avoiding the ACA subsidy cliff. But rather than spending more time on it I'll just say that if you want to retire early look into the advantages of a Roth and see if it applies to your situation.

    Withdrawal calculator

    This is not true at all. You can withdraw your contributions (not earnings) after a five year period. For example, do a couple big Roth conversions when you are younger, pull that amount out when you retire before 59 1/2. When you turn 59 1/2 you can draw from a traditional IRA up to the tax...

    No, what I’m saying is that once you hit Medicare you don’t have to worry about losing your ACA subsidy.
