    Well that was painful (Primers on GunBroker)

    I figured it would come to this one day. I have been reloading since 2006 after I ETSed, and have been through quite a few panics. I felt this one was different for some reason, and you can make bullets, black powder, and use cases multiple times. Primers were the biggie. I made it a habit to...

    SR primers VS LR primers

    Yes, but I refuse to run Lapua through gas guns. Hornady brass isn't all that great, but I can beat the crap out of it, or lose it, and not worry too much.

    Hunting & Fishing Coyotes.

    You can't hunt predators at night in WY unless it's on private land with the landowners permission. Getting access is becoming harder and b harder because outfitters and landowners have figured out Easterners will pay money to shoot Prairie dogs and coyotes, so the thermal juice isn't worth the...

    Good advice. I'm headed out now, and will let you know how it all turns out.

    ATRAG

    Hornady 4DOF or Applied Ballistics. You can do the Hornady app, or pair it with the 4DOF Kestrel. The other option is the Kestrel 5700 with Applied Ballistics and run the app on your phone, off the handheld, or on the HUD.

    Double Tap. Anyone ever have luck with decoys, stuffed animals, or something like Turkey feathers on a string?

    Hunting & Fishing Coyotes.

    Yeah. The drought and Indian Summer has screwed all hunting up. It was a weird big game season as well. I guess I will use some mouth calls, and try and electronic for other noises in the morning.

    Hunting & Fishing Coyotes.

    I need some tricks for wary coyotes. I've been given access to a private ranch, and haven't had success calling the last few times I have gone. I usually sit for at least 30 minutes per stand, wary of wind direction, and all the normal stuff. I learned today that the Government trapper has...

    SR primers VS LR primers

    My SRP Lapua brass lasts much much longer than LRP Hornady brass. I get 3-4 loads out of Hornady before the primer pocket will not hold a primer. I'm up to 8 loads on Lapua with the same load. I also get lower SD and ES with the Lapua, but that may also just be brass quality. One issue some...

    Proof Research Barrel Order Lead Time?

    Gotta fill those Savage orders.

    Powder charge from SMK to TMK

    Although my 77gr TMK/SMK load for my precision ARs consists of XBR 8208, they both fly very well with the same charge of 23.2gr.

    Advanced Marksmanship The Measure of a Man and His Rifle

    Agreed. Standards have a place for sure, but all humans aren't equal. That's why I'm a fan of personal goals, and making yourself better over time. I don't have the time or budget of some Shooters, and what I do have is huge compared to some. I set personal goals to become better at something...

    I love my 220 Swifts. That is definitely and old school Varmint set up. I'm jealous.

    Advanced Marksmanship The Measure of a Man and His Rifle

    I've always looked at it as a whole system. A Ferrari F1 car is an amazing piece of equipment. Without a driver it's an amazing art piece, with a bad drive its a burning mass of carbon fiber after it hits a wall. It's a system, none of it works if a piece is missing, including the driver. An F22...

    Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

    I could dig that. Can we run a full race STI? Lol Seriously, though, we did a pistol/rifle stage at our practice range that was really cool.

    Howa Carbon Hogue

    I think I would go the Howa route over the Savage. The only use I have for a carbon barreled rifle is hunting, and shot strings aren't a thing while hunting. Yeah the Savage has a Proof barrel, but it's a Savage. We know what a Proof Carbon barrel costs, so what's left over is how much gun...

    Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

    The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. We are all customers down to the match directors. Why would I let my roofing contractor tell me who I can and cannot have in my home before they throw shingles on?
