Going through Norma's, and Alliant's reloading data, i saw that MRP and PP4000 gives decent velocities in the 280 Rem. Run through Quickload also showed good predicted velocities in the 280 Rem. And better still the 284 Win also. Although Norma doesn't list MRP in the 284 Win in their data, and...

The PA Game Commission has estimated that there are 20,000 black bears in the state. And are upset about the lower harvest last year, than the previous. (3,100 for 2018 vs 3,400 for 2017. numbers rounded) So PA is looking at extending the seasons, and making them come in earlier. (before bears...

While looking around a gunshop in a neighboring state, i came accross a Forbes 24B in 280 Rem. Asking price is $1,000. (Ouch!) Wife is always on me about how much i have invested in reloading, hunting gear, and firearms. This one would really push it. What say thee? Decent deal? Walk away...

Just thought i'd let those interested in the 284 Win, know that Peterson Cartridge is now making casings for it. They appearantly have a deal with Grafs, and they have exclusive rights on it. So for Peterson 284 Win brass, order from Grafs. :D

This involves a possible build, but with a story. Took my daughter and her boyfriend to the Harrisburg Outdoor Show. Saw/talked with some vendors that I know. Cutting Edge Bullets, APA Archery, Peterson Cartridge, and of course E.R,Shaw. While talking with the guys from E.R.Shaw, all of a...

I know it's not technically hunting, but if no one heard. REMF has re-introduced elk in West Virginia. Kudos to them! This is one organization that i don't mind donating my hard earned money towards.

I have heard of a gunsmith in Pennsylvania that uses epoxy and aluminium filings to create custom pillar bedding. This interests me. Any thoughts as to a good process for doing this?

Wanting to hunt elk BEFORE i die, i've come to the realization that it's not gonna happen in Pennsylvania. 30,000 applying for 126 tags. I was looking at hunting in Wyoming. But price and draw don't gaurentee anything. Sooo I'm looking at an over the counter license in Colorado. Any offers...

My LGS has a Savage Model 30. Stock is in rough shape, lots of the bluing worn off. I noticed a slight bulge at the end of the barrel. Checked with bore gageand it's reading improved cyl. Thought it kinda odd for a pump to be improved cyl. Anyways, looking at it as a project gun, and...

I don't have the link, but had just read about Vista Outdoors selling the Savage Arms. Potential speculation is Sig Sauer purchasing them.

Well, truck fixed, drove up to Moshannon State Forest this morning. Walked in 2 miles in 12" of snow. Trail brought us in where i wanted to hunt from downwind. Came out into a field between the power line and the gas line. Looking around trying to figure out where to go, happened to look...

So, PA black bear starts tomorrow. Issue. Yesterday into last night we got 12+ inches where i hunt. Temps going from low 20's to mid 30's . Any point slogging through the snow? Or should i stay home, enjoying my coffee in the warmth?

Having been reading up on the "new" 6.5mm PRC, i'm leaning towards it. Seems to be in decent company with the 6.5-06 A Square, 6.5-284, and 6.5mm Rem Mag. Based on 375 Ruger case.

I came accross a study done on game cameras and their effect on deer. The study concludes that deer just seeing a camera has a negative effect on deer, especially mature bucks. Once they see it, even if it's inactive, buck was never seen again. Study recommends setting cameras high, 6+ft...

While researching some things a question popped into my mind about work hardening brass. Would it be possible to work harden brass by shot peening? If so is there a way to locallize the hardening, say to just the head/rim area? Or is it a matter of annealing the area you want soft again...

Well the barrel on my Stevens 200 in 7mm-08AI is finally shot out. Still shoots well. But throat is waaaayyyy worn out. Bullets are seated out too far. Going on this week in a 24" E.R. Shaw barrel in 250 Savage. Looking forward to learning and shooting it. But gonna miss the 7mm-08.

Got to Reade Range a chilly 30 degrees at 8am( ok, so i was early at 7:30). Got signed in. They decided to do electronic scoring, and took a little time to set up. Of course i was first string. Got set up. Was shooting a fairly stock Stevens 200 chambered in 7mm-08AI, with a bi-pod. Hence F...

Signed up for my first 600 yard match for next Saturday. Was hoping for more time to get ready, but well... Match is at Reade Range in central PA. Yesterday and today temps in the 80's. By tomorrow evening saying 40's. So, sunscreen, tee shirt, shorts, long johns, parka and mittens.. Lol...

Wanting to get into thining out some coyotes. Looking to hopefully stay under the $200 mark. Been looking at the Icotec and Foxpro. Any input greatly appreciated.

Hornady has just started releasing their 110gr. ELDX. G1 BC of .466 Not widely available yet. Midwayusa, and a couple others have them. About $35 a box. Question is, why did i first hear about them from a forum based out of New Zealand, and not locally?
