    Well done! It's been many years since I shot some goats with a bow but I still remember the sense of awe that this clever stick and string can turn muscular effort into a speeding arrow that can...

    dannyb liked post by Steelisreal On thread : First attempt at reloading. Thoughts please.
    If you're interested in learning about reloading and ballistics then invest some time in watching some of the Hornady podcasts. It's a great idea to start with 'Your groups are too small' - a useful...

    There you go SixtyTen - looks a bit like a business opportunity! For extra multi-factor rabbit hole science you could make some rim thickness gauges to sub-divide both unsized and sized rounds to...

    The 25/08 has been around pretty much since the 308 case came into being. The 25/08 is also commonly called the 25 Souper, though where that name originated seems lost to time (according to a brief...

    Micky Duck liked post by Steelisreal On thread : 6.5 Creedmoor reloading for hunting advice please.
    Yes, historically they have been more expensive than the Eld-X (the 120 B-Tip is currently $69/50 or $138/100) but Reloaders currently have 140 B-Tips at $49/50 or $98/100. Good buying if it suits...

    Mroach - what were the 'pressure signs' that you're referring to? Did they have heavy bolt lift? Or was it that the primers are VERY flat in appearance? If your rifle shoots the 140 Ballistic Tip...

    Yep really enjoy the heart. Not so much of a fan of kidneys and liver, though I do feel like I should figure out a good way to make use of them.

    Fair call - if it works stick to it! We don't spend much time hunting critters in the thick stuff down here so the 2x is fine for my perceived needs. When I can afford it I'll be debating whether to...

    Nice work! Only you can judge the ethics of the shot as you're the only one who knows the full context. Steven Rinella said something along the lines of 'If you're surprised to have hit it then...
