Everyone here have a grand Memorial Day holiday, and remember all those who serve, and especially those that served and made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all free.
I salute my brothers who did not come home with me.

Re: Alliant Powders Suspended Shipments Of Smokeless Powders For Reloading
Bad news. Most likely due to the world-wide shortage of nitrocellulose right now. Thanks for posting, Jim. :wtg: That's probably due to the crap going on in Ukraine and Isreal. I'll be glad when the world returns to 'normal'.....as if that could ever happen. :? Glad I laid in a good stash of all the...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
They're going to feel slighted if I post a target with my full custom rig and hand loads. Exactly why I said it's a conundrum. So Skipper, how are you gonna sort this out? :chin: No matter the decision, someone is going to feel shorted, no matter what rules are in place. I hope this all gets sorted...

Re: Rockchuck Condo
Well Secret Code , spring is here, along with rain and mud. Those croc's need to be exchanged at this time of year with some boots by the looks of it where you are. Bet you didn't wear those boys into the house! :eek: And it appears the 32gr Varmageddon is NOT wabbit friendly either! Almost duplicat...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
What I'm asking is what separates a factory from a custom rifle. We have had numerous members say they didn't want to compete against a full custom rifle with a factory offering. Where's the line between factory and custom?? Always a difficult decision. Suppose someone has a factory rifle with an a...

Re: Storms in Cypress, Texas
Glad you mostly weathered the storm, Skipper. Hope your bike was not too badly damaged from the knock-over. High winds are amazing when seen up close and personal. After surviving two raging typhoons in the western Pacific, I have much respect for those winds ever since. You were fortunate to not ha...

Re: Rockchuck Condo
SecretCode : Looks like another good time afield. There's nothing like a solid hit on a ground squirrel and the resultant rat-o-batics they give. Always a fun sight. A wabbit is just icing on that cake when out n' about with your rifle. As for jackwabbits, many times while out shooting grass rats, ...

Rockchuck Condo
Spring has finally sprung here on the high desert. That means it's time for rockchucks once again. I was out scouting about with my camera looking for new hides and spotted this chuck mom with her three new pups in what appears to be a large chuck condo in a rock berm not far from the house. It's in...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
Sounds good Skipper, and I'm sure there will be many members that will submit targets this year.
Question: You mention 'small caliber(s)'. Can you define exactly what that entails for this competition?

Re: Nice chuck outing
Glad to hear you were finally able to get out again there, Bill. Looks like great rock chuck habitat too, so it's no wonder you've always got targets there. After seeing all your snow pics over winter and early spring, I'm betting it was refreshing to finally get out of 'cabin fever', grab your rifl...

Re: New .204 options
my 204's https://i.postimg.cc/RCkHrKCs/my-204-s.jpg They are more accurate than you would believe Nice, how about showing some of those targets shot with them? We want to "believe". :wink: The primary thing I don't care for with that platform is how slow and unwieldly to reload on the ben...

Re: The Annual 2024 Rat Rodeo
Rain and wind now here again, so it'll be a while till I can get out for rock chucks again. So as it rains and blows outside, it's back to basics.....getting that fired brass cleaned, primed and reloaded for the next time: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q70/923/TZmMDn.jpg Just returned t...

Re: found CFE223
bigdaddy , way to go buddy! Some of us spend beaucoup bucks on components trying to find that pet load, and it appears you've stumbled onto yours without any fuss whatsoever. It might be time to buy a lottery ticket the way your luck seems to be running....I know I would. ;) As Bill K alluded to, s...

Re: New .204 options
Bearguy , reading what you'll use the new rifle for, and the fact that you'll be using factory ammunition in it limits the true potential of the caliber. I'd suggest choosing a rifle that has the standard 12 twist, as there is a much larger crop to choose from. There's not many coyotes out there th...
