I'm with you Randy. Way too rich for me. If I lived in Florida, I would "make do" with my $1100 Daystate in .22 cal. I can buy a lot of air and pellets for the cost difference.

I have to agree with you. For a guy who already has a 6.5mm, cast in a 6mm does not seem to offer anything worth the effort and cost.
The other thing I see is most reports of "good" accuracy...

Would that indicate the action has been stretched by some overloads?

Great find.
An unappreciated caliber by the masses, but a fine one none the less.

This phrase has always perplexed me, "among those born of women".
Even Jesus was "born of woman". Who has not been "born of women". I have not been able to find anything that explains the...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Just a thought. Would your PH take delivery of ammunition if you shipped it to him before the hunt.? Then you know your ammunition will be there and not get hung up in customs.
A gun is meant to be used, but I could not carry a Python in the woods.

There is a book by Gary Anderson for coaching young shooters. Anderson shot competitively and is no slouch. I think you can get it from the CMP.

Roger brought up a good point. Even though I have never used cast bullets in the AR's, I have two molds and .225 sizer. I put them in my "preps" long ago in case things went south and I could not...
9mm for me. It allows me to have a "light" carry gun (Kahr) and a full size Glock when I can carry something bulkier. Having a few extra rounds in the magazine is a plus. The lower recoil allows...

Yes, I have condensed powder types. I can reload for all my needs with four powders. I can hunt any big game within 1000 miles, shoot varmints to 300 yards, plink, produce self defense pistol...

I would not be looking at Alliant powder unless I found a bunch of jugs. In your situation, I would consider Shooters World and Accurate. I have not checked them lately so not sure if they are in...

Nice job again Steve. Those lead loads look awesome!!

I am shooting less and downsizing more so not buying as much stuff. Over the last few years I have been doing most of my buying from MidSouth or Amazon. I used to use MidWay a lot but things...

Decide what you mean by "get to work".
If 2-3" groups at 50 yards "gets it done" your journey is much easier. If your goal is 2-3" groups at 100 yards it will be tougher. 3 shot, 5 shot or...

Good progress Mustang!
I hope the day never comes when making powder becomes a necessity. At my age, (73) it is unlikely; but if I was 30 years younger, I would be worried. When I was in my...

Good advice rancher and Finster.
I was going to charge her $50/mo to cover added power and heat for the area they will be using. I do not need the money, but wanted her to feel like she is...

My memorable drive was 50k primers about 50 years ago. I was living in Canada and my mentor found a deal in Detroit.
