Depends, in Texas there really is no winter prep until just before a blizzard is projected to dump 3” of snow; then the parking lot of every liquor store will be full and firewood will reach insane prices in urban areas. In Southern Oklahoma my elderly relatives just wait for it to freeze...

That’s why you look for those old vibrating hockey board games at yard sales…..

If you don’t want that Jamison brass I’ll buy it once fired from you, it’s what my .470 is regulated with and it’s good quality and no longer produced.

I’d be willing to bet they stabilize in a 16” 1:9 barrel, I’m currently shooting 75hr Hornady SBR rounds with great affect and would like to try these on pigs.

Not a concern for me as stated above quick reloads back in the day took preference over heavy metal concerns. The only case of high lead levels I’ve ever know was a couple that did extensive competition handgun shooting and would sort brass on their kitchen table after tumbling. They had an...

Agreed, I just finished load development for .300win with 200gr LRX-BT for my travel load, went with the LRX for the faster opening. I also loaded 150rnds of .300win Hornady BTSP Interlocks as they are my deer culling, pig hunting and practice round( I also use the 140gr Interlock in .270win...

M.E.C. Mountain Equipment Co-op Think of it like REI but generally without the China crap quality; $5 makes you a member of the Co-op for life. https://www.mec.ca/en/stores/calgary Also stop by a pharmacy and buy a bottle of the cough syrup that actually works, you have to ask for it at the...

This! We’ve had several threads and has to be hundreds of posts on the matter, but @SCmackey summed it usually beautifully. “Ammo must be stored in factory packaging OR packaging specifically designed for storing ammunition; loose ammo will not be permitted” - I believe is the verbiage. 11lbs...

My disdain for the SGK goes back 20+ years when I started loading my own ammo with 130gr SGK in .270Win. I shot my first and second deer SGKs’ and I haven’t loaded another single Sierra ever since. FYI - the second deer I shot at 150yds and it ran off and died because it fell in a creek and...

Nice, does this ammo require 1:8 twist barrel?

150rnds of .300win

I’ve got the 350gr RNSN HD going 2,275fps out of my 23” barrel; I could go faster but the accuracy is great and hits exact same POI as the 350gr FMJ. My buddy has the 350gr RNSN HD and North Fork FPS hitting same POI in his Winchester M70 stainless.

Manufactured scarcity?

I could tell you horror stories of what’s gone into burn pits while land clearing for construction sites; hell one contract we bid a single line item on the bid was 4,000ac of tree clearing for the building of a reservoir.

I think they were done as a precursor to cross bolts; more material left behind, more strength in that area.
