I've been loading the 34g DT FBHP's in my 20P, sub moa out to 200 yds, I've shot at 300 yds, but it was at a fallen tree laying on the hillside. Just so happen it was right at 300yd, and was accurate at this distance. Could not get to the fallen tree to inspect the impact zone, but "it will kil...

Don't overlook Athlon scopes. I've got several and have no compliants about them. I've got a Talos 6-24 x50 on several rifles, and they all perform fine. I've got crappy eyesight, so I need the magnification. LOL

I've seen a Teslong borescope advertisement that that says they're supposed to fit .20 caliber & larger. Even comes with a little screen for around $100. I have NOT see it in person nor tried one. But, if it works that would be great for us. I read that and ordered one. I does not fit... Buyer ...

Dewey has various sizes, I use the 22 cal the most, no damage to anything yet. LOL

Gettin' old ain't for wimps. :lol: We've both had our shots as well, but this new "variant" seems to ignore the vaccine in some people/cases. Wife's nephew got the shots when he could, but got to feeling bad, got tested and was positive, then got the "infusion" treatment. A coupl...

Just getting over Covid myself. At 70yrs old I didn't think it was that terrible. Ivermectin a Zpack and I was ready to go. Staying hydrated is very important. This sciatic nerve in the lower back, now that has been a game changer for me. I've noticed that many, if not all of the gun/hunting forums...

I shoot more paper than anything else since pdogs are 1500 miles from me, I want to go but the Covid stuff concerns me. I feel more comfy in known surroundings and territory, so I hope it's all over soon. Or least at a manageable level to where I feel more comfortable with travel. I have been partic...

Still HOT & MUGGY here, low to mid 90's with 50% humidity. Get your chores done early and hide out in the "cave" is the normal routine around here.

I have a 204R and 20P, with my Harvester 300, both sound and feel (recoil) like a mouse fart. I've shot the 20P with a buddy's 22 cal DIY suppressor and my Harvester, very little difference in the felt recoil, mine is a just a bit quieter.

I have used what I call a "spinner" to anneal cases with 2 torches, one on each side. I did the DIY version first and then upgraded to the actual set up from here: https://cartridgeanneal.com/ You tube will show you how to make one for $25 or so. The torch tips and such are probably the mo...

Sounds like a excellent adventure again. Good times with friends and "rats" . LOL. Thanks for posting & sharing your trip.

I've had good results following the Nosler load data, aka accurate loads, so which is a higher priority for you?? Speed or accuracy??

Just start with a low/suggested starting powder charge with those primers, then start increasing the powder charge and inspect the primers for any issues. Google ladder test and you'll see how to find the right powder charge weight for your rifle in fewer shots fired. If you have difficulty in openi...

I was able to find some Savage BVSS stocks for sale on other forums and the FV12 fits like a glove into them. Very stable for bench work, helps with the balance a bit, but still muzzle heavy IMO.

I did a 10 twist which shoots the 58g up to 75g very well. I have not done a lot load development with the "heavy" ones yet, but loves the 58g vmax.
