    Anybody Ditch the Bubble Level?

    If you have good equilibrium and trust your eyes, that level is junk. I have one and my eyes are more accurate. Whenever i look at the level im always thinking: was that "level" with the bubble closer to the left or right line. When, moving my head to look i have to readjust and refocus... when...

    Projectile Choice: Lighter/Faster or Heavier/Slower

    Pick a desired maximum range. Pick a quality bullet/load that will be at or above the bullets min opening velocity at that range and the rest is just noise. Example: Sooo if my max range in my 300WM is 1k yards and i pick a bullet with a minimum opening velocity of 1800 fps... I try to ensure...

    Reloading advice: bullets? Vary for target/hunting?

    It doesnt matter tbh. At this point with prices just find a good bullet for your rifle and buy a barrels worth of supplies and keep 100+loaded at a time. Youll never have to wonder which load is for what if you only have one. 300 wm i bought all 210gn bergers 270 140gn accubond 6.5 140 hornady...

    Hornady sizing die not bumping shoulder?

    Screw the die down a quarter turn at a time until you feel resistance on the end of the press pull. If you can on your press, get it to "cam over" slightly. If you start pushing your shoulder down and it deforms the case improperly, trim your overall length so your neck isnt hitting prematurely.

    Get a Carfax Report for Fellow Rokslider

    Bought my truck from a dealer. Had a carfax with no accidents. I was haggling orice and they showed me what they had to fix after they got it on trade in. Rear bumper was smashed in and had to be replaced with tailgate and other things. They just did the work in house and never reported it.

    Onx and android auto

    GAIA works too but it can be laggy at times in the ram. I used it last year hunting. Makes planning and driving to spots pretty easy.

    Reload or factory ammo?

    I reload to shoot more. Is it cheaper? I mean it has to be by now but im thousands of rounds in.... but im also thousands of $ in reloading equipment. What i like the more is getting any rifle to shoot good. Single digit SD, yup. The only rifle i can get to shoot consistently good was one that...
