I got into reloads more because I like the idea of tinkering and doing things myself. Plus I went the cheap route using Lee equipment thinking that if it was a waste of my time then I could probably sell it easily. I ended up really enjoying it as I have had good luck with my reloads (with the...
Ok thanks. I tried a set of two different lengths and was able to test them out today. I tried 25.0 gr of IMR 4895 and seated for OAL of 2.250” and 2.245”. Did four rounds of each and neither was that great.
Went by sports world in Tulsa to see if they had 8208 but they didn’t have it.
At...
Ok cool. Hope you get some good loads working.
I had used the Hornady brass from the factory ammo 123 gr sst. I did full length resize, clean primer pocket, but did not trim the brass. However I did a light deburr/chamfer on the neck with a hand tool.
I tried some 6.5 Grendel reloads using some leftover IMR 4895 powder I had to test out the 129 gr Nosler Accubond Long Range bullets. I did half grain increments from 24.5 gr to 26.0 gr with the IMR 4895. Seated bullets to 2.258” OAL. My groups were about the same mostly with about a 3 inch...
I currently have a Remington 700ML that I have had since the mid 90s. I’ve been wondering about the new 700UML (the ultimate one) and debating if I should upgrade. They are hard to find for sale and appear to be quite popular. My current 700ML can only load up to 120 gr of Pyrodex. The new...
I'm interested in dirt bikes that may need fixing to get running again. Small project type stuff only...no frame damaged bikes. I'm hoping to eventually get the family riding. Let me know what you have. Thanks!
I don't get to practice from the tree stand. I recently switched from a compound to a crossbow because of the little time I get to practice, but yet I want to be able to hunt a few days of archery season. I'm hoping the use of a range finder helps me get more accurate with yardage guesses and...
Ok, I see. So as long as the range finder doesn’t have a laser beam for initial setup, then it’s ok? I would guess most typical range finders would be ok.
I saw on Leupolds website for the Vendetta 2 that OK does not permit mounted rangefinders to crossbows. I tried searching for that in the OK hunting regs but cannot locate anything. As close as I can find is that illegal devices include laser sights. I figured that means those laser beams...
Y'all gave me some good ideas. Thanks the tip on tulsa 12 volt. His website was pretty cool. I'll have to check with him eventually too.
I like all the visibility I can get since I hook up trailers on my own most of the time. And I am also watching for the little rugrats that can be around me...
My truck has a back up camera that has the display in the rear view mirror. It's tiny...like too tiny for any real purpose. So, I've been thinking of getting a bigger screen somehow.
I believe there are basically three options. One is to replace the radio system with an aftermarket in-dash...
Lots of good points there...it's definitely not saving any money. All it provides is an experience...and life stories. Lol.
It's definitely an expensive way to sleep and get around. But we seem to enjoy it the few times a year that it happens.
I wanted to use something else besides the vehicle. It works but it's a bit cumbersome to drive it back there and it is easier with the riding mower (if it works and keeps traction)
