    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Sidearms & Scatterguns In the car pistol carry options.

    I have to honor my ex-wife and not carry while picking up my son at her home. I have a level II under my steering wheel at 1 oclock for positive retention while not in my immediate control. Otherwise I like the crossdraw option for comfort.

    Accident vs Negligence

    WOW! I started reading all of this because in my opinion there is no such thing as a accidental discharge. A mechanical device only operates with input from something or someone.

    Trouble with load data need help...

    Very good advice everyone! I would only add, whenever I am working up a load from minimum, I always pay close attention to pressure signs on the primer. Once the primer starts to flatten on the bolt face and fill the pocket, it's time stop or even back off.

    .300wm - .300wsm

    Most load data is comprised with Large rifle primers, I believe mag primers give me a better burn. One note, useing different brass can change pressure, Rem brass is 6-7gn more volume than RWS and made a difference of 6ft drop at 1640yds.

    Hunting & Fishing Pretty clear all the Females are den-up

    I enjoyed reading that, like I was there. When the old man ran sheep he had a band (1,000) and spring was time for digging up dens, he dug far enough when he could tell the bitch wasn't in the hole, he would send me in to pull the pups out. I was about 4
