    Sold FL Uncompahgre puffy, Wilkin QZ baselayer top, Cabelas merino midlayer top - All XL

    Cleaning out the hunting closet - I've dropped a bit of weight over the years and have a few pieces in XL that I don't use any more. Would like to see them go to a good home. Everything is in excellent condition, save for a small hole on the back of the Cabelas piece. From a non-smoking home. I...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    Quick non-update update: The rifle came back from the mother ship with a new barrel...big surprise. I broke it in a while back but decided to hold off on load dev and accuracy evaluation until my backordered Lapua brass showed up and my new, dedicated can gets out of jail. Still waiting on the...

    Here we go again in MT...

    How about making wilife crop damage payments contingent upon enrollment in block management...and not that Type 2 BS. No payouts unless the ranches are actively trying to mitigate the problem. Also, the 'earn a bull' concept is a good one. IIRC, WV does this in a couple counties where...

    Crispi briksdal, zamberlan, other boots for narrow heels

    I'd like to get my hands (feet?) on some Scarpas. Pretty darn hard to find in person! Might just have to order some the next time I'm in the market. Had no idea they were good for narrow heels.

    Crispi briksdal, zamberlan, other boots for narrow heels

    I have a very similar foot shape and really wanted to make the Crispi Briksdal work...tried multiple sizes and in the end, the toebox just didn't work for me on downhills so I moved on. Seemed like an awesome boot though! I've since settled on the Zamberlan Smilodon, which I believe is built on...

    What do you mean by '.002" expanded neck tension?' I was running .002" neck tension previously and switched to .003". Are you suggesting increasing that by 2 thou, decreasing by 2 thou, or going back to exactly 2 thou neck tension? Good spot on the Lapua brass! I will start checking around. I...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    Quick update, just for some kind of closure. After hogging out the barrel channel and turning necks, I ordered a new bushing die to match the new neck OD and increased neck tension from 2 to 3 thou. I ran a seating depth test from 20 to 50 jump (started @ 20 per Steve from Hammer bullets) and...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    Your post evaded the multi-quote somehow. I trust the trend of the third string, not so much the actual numbers. Not saying they weren't completely accurate - they make very well have been - but since I broke my setup down and left after 2 strings, then came back later, the chrony could've been...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    That mag box is a true PITA...found that out the hard way when I disassembled it the first time. I think I'm good-to-go there now. Based on what I found, I think it would be hard to put it together all the way with that piece not seated correctly, but maybe not! LOL @ your rifleless antics...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    Yes, the speeds are pretty incredible. I about fell off the shooting bench stool when I saw it break 3400 fps! I really don't care too much about getting every last fps, but coming from a short-barreled 6.5 CM and an over-hyped 7 LRM, I'm happy to see some real velocity. A solid jump over my CM...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    First off, wow...thank you for taking the time to read my wall of text and give such a thoughtful reply! I agree that there may be a rifle issue...or it could just be super picky, which is fine with me, but it can't be picky to the point that I can't find something that works. Not that I've...

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    Hi All, I've been working up loads for a new rifle and am having a heck of a time. At this point, I don't know where to go next and am looking for advice. With components being scarce, I would like to avoid as much shot-in-the-dark testing as I can. Rifle: Christensen Arms Traverse w/ 24" cf...

    Sold 6.5 PRC ammo & brass

    I have 2.5 boxes of Federal Premium 130gr Terminal Ascent left of the 5 that I bought to break in my barrel and get me through hunting season. Break-in is complete and I've been able to get enough components to reload, so the remaining live ammo can go to some other poor soul with a 6.5 PRC...

    Broomfield CO - moving whats it like?

    I'll second this - very accurate description of the area and how not convenient it is for a sportsman, despite what you may hear/read. The access is there, just not convenient. FWIW, I lived 15 min from there for 6 years, wife worked in Broomfield for most of that time.
