In addition to annealing and the Lee FCD to give more bullet "grip" is to remove your decapping pin/ expander ball from your sizing die and spinning it in your cordless drill with ultra fine emery cloth to incrementally remove tooling from the expanding ball diameter until you find your desired...

Welcome, I'm between Rochester and Buffalo, are you in Wayne County Walworth, Macedon area? Tell us about yourself. KC

I have fond memories of the .356 Winchester. The shop I worked for in the late '80s rechambered Contenders from 35 Rem to .356 Win to avoid the headspace problems encountered with the 35 Rem. I hunted with one for several years using the 200 gr Speer Flat points, very effective for whitetails.

I have done it, but I always resize the necks for consistent tension.

You're referring to box blinds; we don't use them. Blinds are any type of "hide" usually natural on our land. I hunted from my son in laws box blind twice on their farm and felt disconnected like I was hunting from inside a house, nothing wrong with it just not for me.

Agreed, I've packed several moose and would shoot one IN the garage if possible.

That did cross my mind. Maybe buck#1 was the test and #2 was the reward. I hope I wasn't looking a gift horse in the mouth, forgive me Hunt God...

I guess not much difference except with the blind a person in actively hunting, shooting from a house window seems more like killing and would not be a testament of woodsmanship or stealth and does not (in my mind) seem like the way I would want to claim this class animal. The "hunt" is more...

Has anyone felt their hunting ethics were tested by the hunting gods? Mine were tested twice this year: The first one was 3 weeks ago while hunting a specific buck on our property. Two bucks were full out fighting behind my stand 15 minutes before sundown, 75 yards over the line on my...

The owner/head gunsmith I worked for 35 yrs ago used rosin between the rings and scope tube on the heavy recoiling rifles and slug guns, seemed to work great.

Beautiful rifle from a real gentleman, no worries buying from SkullKeeper.

No need for premium bullets for deer from a .308 Win. I have used 150 gr Federal Fusion and Winchester power points with great success. I am now experimenting with 168 gr Hornady A Max but have not used them on game yet. Apparently although the A Max is considered a target bullet, they perform...

Yes, it is the aerosol that I use. A light coat on a paint brush is all that's needed.

7mm Winchester Short Mag.??

Maybe a little off subject but regarding protection. I have gone to Fluid Film on for my needs of rustproofing and firearm protection. The shop I managed had issues with rust from people handling our firearms. At that time, I had a good customer recommend fluid film applied with a paint brush on...
