    Tips for a novice horse rider

    @Hunt27 You had it right the first time. Its never a bad idea, even for novice, to know the basics - and to have done it a few times under supervision.

    Tips for a novice horse rider

    There is something called a Cross Country boot - made for long distance competition where the rider dismounts and walks or runs at times. I took a set to my first refresher session, but my instructor would only allow me to use slip-on ridding boots from her used boot box. No idea on the brand...

    Tips for a novice horse rider

    I took some professional lessons due to similar concerns about 6 years ago. At age 70, I found out I was about 9,000% less supple (and less capable) than when I did Open Jumping in my teens and early 20s. No issues at a walk or easy canter, but like a sack of rocks, I could not sit a saddle...

    4350 powders

    Do you already have loads worked up (or close)? I don't load the 300 H&H, but other powders seem more popular (see below thread). If you already have a load you could keep them in a hot-ish ice chest on the way to the range and do a temp test of sorts...

    I read that issue was proven false when the soldier admitted they were horsing around when he accidentally shot the other guy. I don't remember the actual details, but his initial claim about a malfunction was a lie.

    If you carry concealed, you're supposed to be the most responsible person on the planet. They focus on avoiding conflict in the classes I've attended.

    Is this brass safe to load and shoot?

    Newbie Reloading Question

    The Giraud chamfers / deburrs the case mouth both inside and outside at the same time it trims the case mouth - nice and square. A wonderful machine to have, but it is indeed expensive with added expense for each quick-change caliber conversion.

    Spear Grand Slam bullets?

    They were "the" premium bullet back n the day, but my experience was with 160 gr 7mm08. I would be very comfortable with 250 grain GS in a 338WM if that's what my rifle likes.
