Using induction, with a home made setup. I can see the brass glow with the lights off for just a few tenths of a second. If the lights are on I can see some change in color briefly, but no glow. I'll...

I spent the weekend putting together a system for annealing, and I wanted to see if anyone could help provide feedback on the results. Attached is a piece of brass with 750 tempilaq applied. I tried...

Seeing more and more of them around my area every year.

If I had to guess, I would think this is going to continue through 2021 and most likely into 2022. If they pass major gun legislation then another year or two after that.

I guess all of this is assuming the 308 in the 1:10 twist? I'd image 168-180 would be the sweet spot.
We've certainly seen an increase in the southeast. I'm seeing pigs for the first time in areas I would have never thought to look. In the areas where I'm accustomed to seeing pigs, the population...

While I agree with the ban on motorized vehicles on some of the public land I hunt; It always makes me wonder how much meat is wasted due to the fact people are packing it out on foot. I'd like to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Correct, the NOE 279-126-FN-E2-31 is the only one I've been able to get my hands on that my 6.8 seems to like.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I guess I would define "long range" in the context of hunting as anything over 300 yards. The furthest shot I've taken on Elk was in the 350 range, and I wouldn't consider using a cast boolit at that...

I've also noticed Devcon seems a little hard to find where I am. The only place that seems to have it is a commercial metal supplier I use, and they want you to buy the larger jars. I'll give the...

I know the selection for molds in 6.8 SPC was fairly limited as of a few years ago. It seems like most of the molds were tailored to 270 win or other cartridges. Has anyone had any luck finding newer...

Seems like it works for some, does nothing for others.

I'm going to stick to my jacketed bullets, but just curious if anyone has had any success long range hunting Elk with cast boolits?
Forum: Processing wild game
Anyone using the gutless method for Elk? I did it the first time last year, and I had pretty good results. I quartered, did the back straps / loins, and then went back for brisket, neck etc. I would...
