Gear check

So deer season is upon us, and I’m getting my gear ready. Silly season started at the range a few weeks ago with everyone dragging out their deer rifles. I had finished my load selection a few months ago and wanted to load up a few more rounds, check my zero and call [...]

Gentle Reminder

Deer season is upon us. Just a quick reminder to unload your rifle before climbing your tree stand. A hunter in New Hampshire found himself with one more hole than he started his day with because he neglected to follow this rule. A similar thing happened to my wife’s uncle a few [...]

New opportunities

No longer a Varget hater

Here are the results from my Sinterfire loads the other day. If you recall, I loaded a batch with Accurate 2460 and a batch with Hodgdon Varget.
The Varget rounds surpassed the accuracy of rounds loaded with the Accurate powder. While they weren’t bad, they don’t hold a candle to these (after discount the [...]

Back to the loading bench…..

I had written a while back about working up some .223 Remington loads using the 42 gr Sinterfire bullet.
The first batch I worked up used Accurate 2460. I really wasn’t happy with how that batch shot. My shooting bench setup wasn’t good, and it also revealed just how bad my trigger was on [...]
