D Crockett - I am glad to hear you and your family are safe. I can understand and relate to what you are having to deal with the clean up and repairs. I went 8 straight days of cleaning up a...

You guys are great. I really appreciate your responses and sharing your knowledge and experience with me and others. I will begin the clean up tomorrow morning and will let you know what I find. ...

Disclaimer: This is probably not the best place to post this, but I figure I would get really good responses/recommendations from you guys here...

My beloved stash of primers & powder were...

Yet another option is the upcoming Texas Hunter's Extravaganza events all throughout August: https://www.ttha.com/hunters-extravaganza. I enjoy these and lots of activities for the young ones.

Forgot to mention that you can get printed copies of the The Outdoor Annual from Walmart or Academy Sports, and since your wife is in Houston, she could pick one up for you. The new edition comes...

Isaac,

The links already provided to Texas Parks & Wildlife are great. I would add to check out the Outdoor Annual http://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual there is also an app for your...

Hello Virginians & North Carolinians. My new job brings me to Virginia Beach and I need your guidance on a few things:

Where do you shoot rifles? Looking for 200 yard range but 100 yrds will do...

Load some 65's and some 75's, shoot and compare the results. It is an empirical process: experiment, observe results, try something else, repeat.

Great shooting, beautiful rifle, and nice load. I will keep watching with interest your results from 100 yard testing. I have that SIL-165 mold and I just casted a few to try in my 30-06 Ruger M77...

This has become an A-List of Top Authors. My personal favorites and the ones who have influenced me the most are: Skeeter Skelton, Bill Jordan, Elmer Keith, Bob Hagel, Ed McGivern, Ken Waters. ...

Prep Brass: clean, sort, size, trim, bell. Get a bucket full of prepped brass ready to load.

How did you get to neatly stack three shots one on top of another? Nice shooting, and nice load. That target is a keeper.

toallmy, all the above recommendations are excellent. I would add this question: what do you want to do with a boolit like the Lyman 311041? Is it target, plinking, or hunting loads you are after?...

Mama is a wise lady!

I'm not sure if your question is for me, but just in case, yes these feed from the magazine without any special treatment. Cases trimmed to 2.030", boolit seated to crimp groove for COL= 2.540", and...

Sounds like you have a very nice vintage rifle with classic lines, and is a shooter to boot. I have not hunted with boolits, yet. However, I am working on a few hunting loads using 311041 which has...

Congratulations. I've been wanting to try 748 in my 30-30 loads with the 175 grains 311041. I need to scratch this itch now. Is your 93 Mauser scoped or open sights? Do you know how fast your...

Thanks Ohiomadman. I'm glad this helped you get a rough idea of the velocity you might be getting out of your load/rifle combination. My Winchester '94 has a 20 inch barrel, if that helps you...

Better late than never... I was after a Target Load for my Winchester '94 30-30. My 175.5 grains 311041 load development went from 4.1 to 7.0 grains of Red Dot, with powder coated, no GC, and...

I also wanted a Target Load for my Winchester '94 30-30. My 311041 load development went from 4.1 to 7.0 grains of Red Dot, with powder coated, no GC, and unsized boolits. This load combination hit...

Great resource. Thanks for sharing.

I learned that I like larger pour holes on my molds, after observing that some molds have a very small pour hole and I was getting wrinkled and poorly filled boolits. Took the Dremel and with great...

Great post and discussion. This is certainly helping me to keep my expectations "real." I am new to casting and I have been learning a ton from good folks like you, and through trial and...

I have heard that Sandhill Cranes = Ribeye in the sky. I have not tried them myself, but now I am curious and I like ribeye. We have a hunting season on them in Texas, and I might just have to try...

If you had to choose how to take care of this, what would you pick? Let's hear which "tool," projectile, load, etc. you would use and how you would go about it.
