    30-06 Reloading frustrations

    I've been in your situation. I fought with cheap chronos for years. Long story short, buy a magnetospeed, it will solve your problem.

    RRS CF Tripods worth the Money?

    I've got a tfct34l with anvil 30 head, and I love it. Shoot off it, glass, and run spotter. Mine gets a lot of use, and I feel the cost is worth it. If it got stolen tomorrow, I would order another one for sure. If I want to grid search a area with binos I throw a panner on top of the anvil...

    Real world McMillan edge stock weight

    Mcmillan game hunter edge fill, 1" pad, 2 flush cups, no sling swivels, long 700 bdl, sendero channel = 26 oz on my scales. I am also curious what caliber, bullet weight, rifle weight, and brake were on rifles with broken edge fill stocks. One above is my first edge fill.

    Darn Tough too Darn Tight! Alternatives?

    Mine were tight after washing and drying also. Started washing in cold water and drying on low heat, seemed to solve my issues.

    Oregon Fires and Access

    We're working in the burn cutting timber right now, and have been since the first of the year. Where we are at least, there are no signs of game, and very little if any feed in most places. Hopefully things will look better game wise by fall, but right now I wouldn't waste my time peraonally...
