The zippers on the soft case broke after about the 3rd use. I might still have it lying around, but I think I tossed it. It’s possible Vortex would replace it as part of their warranty. I have stored it in a Cabela’s padded case that I planned to include in the sale.
No noticeable scratches in...
I’d like to start annealing my brass. What kind of annealer is everyone using, and how do you like it? Or do some use homemade devices that work well. Looking for opinions before I shell out $ on a machine.
Sig Sauer Kilo 2000 Rangefinder. I am the original owner and have used it for 4 seasons. Still works like it should, I just upgraded. Comes with original box. $200 PP G&S + Shipping.

I purchased the scope new, used it for part of a season, and then removed it and put it back into the box. Works fine, just wasn’t a fan of how it fit with my hunting rifle. Comes with original box, lens cover, and sun shield. MOA reticle.
Antelope also don’t suffer from CWD, so, at least here, there isn’t any problem with disposing of the carcass after the meat is removed. Agree with above that a 45 or 65 quart cooler is big enough to hold a full sized goat. They are surprisingly small. Normally I think high priced coolers aren’t...
Antelope are very curious and I’ve seen them act very randomly on occasion. If I have a herd that looks like they are going to spook and run away, I’ve tried making noise or quickly getting back into my vehicle and driving away. It doesn’t work often, but sometimes the lead doe or buck will get...
No matter where you go hunt, make sure you bring plenty of ice and some coolers for the meat. Antelope are normally shot in warmer weather than deer or elk and have coats adapted incredibly well to holding in heat. I think poor cooling techniques lead to many people thinking the meat tastes bad...
I’ve used the e-collars with beepers and trained my dogs to come if they hear the beep. It isn’t something that I use often, but has come in handy a few times with both young dogs (porcupines, excitement) and old dogs (hearing issues).

I didn’t ever think that was a blanket recommendation, only something to consider on cartridges that are overbore but aren’t necessarily considered “magnum”, like the 270 Win or the 25-06. I’ve had good luck with CCI250s and the 270 when using Hammer bullets.
Absolutely it can make a difference. My rationale for adjusting seating depth last is that copper bullets tend to be less sensitive to it, and cartridges loaded with hammers are pretty expensive as far as hand loads go, so testing another variable ups the load development cost. However, if...
In a very similar rifle using the same bullets, I’ve been able to get 0.3MOA consistently using IMR4451 setting .03” off the lands at about 3150FPS. I’ve loaded Hammers for several calibers and they all seem to like powder on the faster end of the scale for that cartridge. I always start at...
That’s awesome. I hope they are just under promising and over delivering with the stated limited warranty on the BDX scopes. I’m going to try mine out on antelope in about a week and may add another to another hunting rifle if it works well and has a lifetime warranty. Best of luck on your mule...
If you are in to trusting reviews, the Sig Sierra scopes consistently rank very high, even against much more expensive brands. I just purchased a Sierra6 and the quality of the glass seems to be good. My only complaint is the reticle lines are too thick.
