Yeah, I know Weaver. But here's the problem. I have Weaver bases now but I'm not real fond of them and they sit a bit low. The rifle came with the bases installed from the factory and I don't really want to spend a lot of money to change the bases. However, I need a base that sits slightly...

I had the great fortune last year to spend 10 days hunting in South Africa last August. It was fabulous!!!!!! I saw more game in 2hours than I had seen most of my life hunting in the states. The trip was great and I was fortunate to take 5 animals (Bushbuck, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Warthog...

I found Meprolight night sights for my Kimber Compact II on opticsplanet. They are on sale for $80 right now. I would like to get these for my pistol. The kicker is they also strongly recommend I buy a Meprolight installation tool to install the sights on the pistol. That little jewel costs...

In Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa it is illegal to hunt deer with a centerfire rifle. Yet, theses states allow the use Muzzle loaders and rifled barrels with shotguns shooting slugs. We now have inline muzzle loaders capable of killing deer out to 250 yds. No, I wouldn't take such a shot with...

I caught a blurb on "Shooting USA" today about die maintenance and the RCBS Die Maintenance kit. Just wondering if any of the really experienced reloaders use this kit or have other methods of keeping your dies in good condition? The kit runs about $30 plus shipping and comes with a can of...

A few weeks ago I picked up a Winchester Model 70 in .243 to shoot coyotes and just have fun. It is a post 64 (manufacture date 94-95 according to the serial number). It came with a composite factory stock. Well the Federal and Prvi ammo results were disappointing. So I got a set of dies...

I recently bought a rifle in 243 Winchester for coyote hunting. I plan to load my own but can't decide on the bullet weight and mfg. If anyone has had success with a particular bullet mfg. and weight please share your experience.

Is it unusual to get higher muzzle velocities than the loading manual calls for? Okay, I loaded some 30-06 recently using IMR 4064 and 150 gr bullets. I loaded some @ 50 grains and some @ 51.7 grains. According to the Hornady recipe the MV for 51.7 grains should have been 2900 fps and the MV...

When you are shooting to test "best groups" how long do you wait between shots to ensure the barrel isn't heating too much? Yes, I know I can feel the barrel but yesterday when it was 30 degrees, I never did notice any barrel heating, yet the first 2 shots would almost always touch and the 3rd...

I don't have a Speer manual and the Lyman manual and another "Complete Reloading Manual for 270 Win" that I have doesn't list any OAL data for the Speer bullets. Speer is closed until Jan 3 and I would like to load some ammo with the bullets. I am pretty new to this and the Lyman manual does...

I am fairly new to reloading and didn't have much succes searching for this topic so if it is a repeat I apologize. Is it possible to use a full length .308 Win resizing die to "neck only" size .30-06 Spfld cases? Does anyone know anything about or have experience with Herters resizing dies...

Okay, I have the gun and one holster for it but would like something with more "cant" that would perhaps fit in the small of my back. Not interested in IWB because I don't want to buy pants that don't fit just to carry.

Hopefully someone has had an experience like this. I received an Ameristep Bone Collector ground blind last Christmas. Yesterday I decided to put it up for the first time. Got it out of the back pack it came in, looked at the directions and tried to lay it out on the ground per the...
