    Your Groups Are Too Small

    Not 1 shot cold bore specifically. But they do talk about builiding up a large group for a hunting rifle by doing 3 shots at a time over several days. A guy could do the same thing with 1 shot at a time.

    Flying with Hunting Pack as Personal Item, NOT Carry On

    I use a mystery ranch 2 day assault as my personal item. It just fits under the seat, if I need to put it there. It has similar dimensions, but smaller volume than the 2200

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    Today I shot a 15 rd zero prior to a hunt next week. 1.1". I'm satisfied.

    Ruger American Gripe

    I had the same magazine issue with my Ranch in 6.5 grendel. I removed some coils from the magazine spring to lighten the force amd beveled the rear edge of the follower because the bolt was catching there. It made a huge difference. To the OPs question, I have two Americans. The Ranch above...

    Big changes to AZ Regs (OTC & other changes)

    Here is the webcast on Archery Deer guidelines and mandatory reporting. It is buried on the website, and not listed on the department youtube channel. https://www.azgfd.com/media/tv/publicforumvideo/ gw

    Big changes to AZ Regs (OTC & other changes)

    For the technology part, the move to electronic tags starting in June is probably part of the strategy. The app will require users to complete the harvest questionaire in the field prior to getting their validation code to tag the animal. That data will be automatically uploaded to AZGFD...

    What is a "point"

    I think of points as part lottery scratcher, part donation to game agency, with the knowledge that any "investment" value in a future tag can be devalued at any time. I don't think the state has any obligation to me to guarantee a tag. Only to make the rules as plain and clear as possible so I...

    New reloader range gear

    I agree with everyone else on the range gear: chronograph, front and rear rests, and a notebook. I switch between a magnetospeed and shooting chrony depending on weather, light conditions, and goal for that day (precision on target or round to round consistency). Here is my typical set up

    IMR 4955 in 300 Win Mag?

    I've loaded it in 300 wm with a few different bullets. 4955 worked well with 180 Barnes TTSX and 165 ballistic tips in a Bergara.

    Powder????

    Midway has imr4895 in stock. They had imr4350 earlier today. Check early and often. The other sources have had some recent selection too.

    Members opinions of the Winchester Mod. 70?

    I have a PF 270 from the 80s. I used to close the bolt on every round to empty the mag. But at some point i realized that all I need to do is close the bolt enough to pop the round out, then turn the gun over and let the round fall. No need to close the bolt on a round in the chamber, which i...
