    2021 Deer Season for Me.

    This season was like most, but this I will never forget. Anticipation isnt my strong suit so for weeks Ive been going through all the possibilities of opening morning, which in Missouri started on the 13th of November for me as I dont use Archery any longer. My whole family celebrates this...

    N570 Powder

    I'm going to give this Powder a shot, with 175 grn Ablr's in my 7 rem mag. Just wondering if any of you fellas had tried this powder, also to be tested in .300 win mag with 190 grn ABLR'S. I went to Vihts site for data and it doesn't show much until you get into heavier bullets.

    .300 Winchester Short Magnum

    I'm helping a friend work up some loads for his Tikka T3 Lite. So far I loaded some 165 grn Btips, and those shoot decent but not near as fast as could be. Having said that, I know speed isn't everything, but it's always on the list, he'd sure like to switch bullets and move up in speed.

    1903 Turkish Mauser conversion of bolt sleeve.

    Long story short, Im fitting a Commercial bolt sleeve on my Turk to do away with a shroud safety as Im fitting a Timney with safety. Problem is the new sleeve wants to grip the firing pin and will not allow sleeve to be completely screwed in. ?

    .270 Winchester, Norma brass.

    I managed to pick up some new brass, and was wondering if anybody else here has converted any to 7 Mauser. T. Ohearme doesnt need to reply, based off his re ord for not knowing that small things do matter. I have used 50 pieces to convert so far, but havent shot any yet.

    Satterly testing

    So I've been watching some videos on this theory. And from what I've seen, this fella has a decent idea to get a jump start, for lack of better words, to finding nodes, low sd nodes. Has anybody here tested his theory and how do you feel about the results.

    New Long Range Shot

    I saw a video on another media outlet where a fella shot 6012 yds,. He used a McMillan Action and stock, 416 Barret (which is the King of 2 Mile) , 550 grn Cutting Edge bullet,. The shot takes like 16 seconds to get there,. I apologise for not being able to share a link, but interesting none...

    Flat nose, Round nose, 30-06

    I'm going to test 150 grain Flat nose and Round nose bullets in my Chinese Mauser. It loves the 150 grn spitzers from Sierra and a helping of h4831sc, with peep sights I can keep most of those in a 4" circle at 100 yds, as my eyes don't pick up all three, (sights and target) very well anymore...

    M18 Mauser

    Terry Weiland wrote an article in this months edition of Rifle magazine about this rifle. Has anyone else read it? What I gathered is it's a decent value for the cost.

    1912 Chilean 7.62/51

    I'm wondering if any of you fellas load for this rifle. I'm reading some internet forums about this rifle but it seems like they start talking about the rechambering of 95's and it runs off the rails there. What I understand is that my rifle has a shortened, rechambered 03a3 4 groove barrel...

    7x57 Mauser

    Found a nice load for my Brazilian Mauser last weekend, using 175 grn Sierra SBT and IMR 7828. It shot under 3/4" , 8 rnd group at 100 yds, no recoil to speak of. Rifle is a 1908 Brazilian, all parts matching, that I put an Instamount and a Vortex Crossfire Scout scope on. What are your...

    Dandy 8 pointer.

    Sunday evening just before dark, I had a deer come up behind me as I was setting on the ground on a grassy firebreak road, my adrenalin was pumping hard. To my back where the deer was, is mostly thick bramble, briars, sumac, small trees and tall wild grass so I couldnt see the deer. I kept my...

    03a3 Bolt Timing

    My 03a3 has a rather heavy lift after firing. I do have a Wolf Speedspring in it that raises the firing pin weight 2 lbs, I havent swapped it back with original to see if there is a signigicant difference, if so then there might be my problem. I was also pointed in the direction of improper bolt...

    6.5 Creedmoor Brass From .243 Win.

    I read about a fella converting .243 win to 6.5 Creedmoor by simply trimming .243 to 1.920 then running it through the Creedmoor die. I found that there are 3 brands of cases that work best for this conversion, Winchester, Remington Peters, Federal. So far one brand I found absolutely was...
