    Reloading pressure sign help? CA 300 wsm

    So you said they never saw lube, does that mean you didn't size the new brass? You also didn't measure it? I would get a set of hornady gauges and measure the headspace on an unfired round and then shoot it and see how much it grew. While you're at it, get the comparator set and figure out how...

    Lever gun scope mount

    I used some Warnes I had laying around. They're mediums or low but could have gone lower. Had to get the cheek pad but I really like the setup now. Super fun with some subs plinking steel. This was the night before opening youth morning. 30-30 as backup.

    WTS APR built 6.5 PRC - Defiance Anti-X, Manners LRH, Hawkins Hunter DBM, 22" Brux Fluted Barrel

    Solid deal. This should make someone a great rifle. I just put together almost the same thing but in 6 creed. If I didn't do that, I'd be all over this one.

    NX8 1-8 for general purpose hunting

    Side note, why the 7 saum over the 280ai? Other than running it in a short action they seem very similar but I bet the 280 loads a little nicer.

    NX8 1-8 for general purpose hunting

    I assume you've been around LPVOs before. I have a couple, nothing high end like that. However I have a few NX8s of different flavors. No scope is great on the high end and I'd be willing to bet that if you go with the 1x8, you'll be using it on 6 to 8x about 90% of the time. I think you'd be...

    Truck Suspension Upgrade

    I've tried 5100s and the like of cheaper adjustable struts. They all rode like shit. Excessive downforce caused teeth rattling pothole hits. I've decided when it's time to swap them I'm going withthe adjustable foxes or Kings all the way around. The ONLY one I would consider would be the 6112s...

    Patriot Valley Ams- Osprey 6mm Prefit Barrel Group Buy

    If you do get an adapter, call AB and order one from them. It's flawless. I had a local "smith" cut and crown a model 70. It could only be threaded to 1/2" and they put an adapter on there. It was so bad I couldn't get an alignment rod through the suppressor and into the bore. I checked that...

    Good Scope for M70 Super Grade that is already heavy enough. Should I go lightweight?

    No issues at all for me.

    7mm 120 ttsx

    I want to try some of these lighter bullets out of my 280ai at warp speed. I was eyeing the Barnes or the Nosler BT. I had worries about the nosler grenading. Let us know how they work for you.

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    17.75" crappie 2.97lbs. My biggest to date. A 3lb crappie will go on the wall. I got pretty ate up with crappie fishing about 6yrs ago. My favorite is trolling crankbaits for them in the summer. Just picked up a new champion this year so I'm getting it rigged up and I'll be able to cover a lot...
