    Does C-IV get softer?

    Not enough that you’ll say “wow, this rope has really softened up”. Maxim Canyon Elite is a great alternative I’ve got two seasons on my rappel line with many, many, many climbs and it’s still in great condition. Semper Fi, Mike

    The Official Ground Hunting Thread

    I’ve seen that in YouTube a a few times and have been intrigued by it as well. Wednesday night I shot a doe at about 50 yards with a subsonic 300 blackout round. I was standing in dry creek bed which was chest high. She couldn’t quite make me out. Blew at me and circled around for a bit. I’ll...

    The Official Ground Hunting Thread

    I’ve been up in a tree only twice this year, and didn’t have a shot on anything. Have killed two does and a buck from the ground, once behind my ghost blind and twice in solid cover. Tagged this guy today Semper Fi, Mike

    Question for the reloading crowd

    Thanks again. Yeah I’m on Guidefitter. Great discounts there! At this point I think I’m doing okay with the Dillon XL750 for stuff that I shoot a lot rounds. I have two 300 blackouts- one of which is a bolt gun I shoot suppressed subsonic a through for night hunting on a kill permit. I have a...

    Question for the reloading crowd

    Yeah I think I’ll continue reloading for anything I’m making more than 20 or 30 rounds at a time, on my progressive just for that reason. I’ll say though, while I am still relatively new to reloading, I think the learning curve was steepened a bit for me, by starting out on a progressive. I am...

    Question for the reloading crowd

    Thanks for that info. I went ahead and bought the FA Intellidropper. I set it up today and 10 out of 10 times it’s exactly the same charge every time. Semper Fi, Mike

    Question for the reloading crowd

    The scale I’m using to verify is my Dillon D-Terminator. Has always been very consistent when setting up my XL 750 for powder dispensing through the dies FWIW, on several throw attempts with the FA Benchtop unit, nothing came out. It would take 3-4 movements of the handle to get it to dispense...

    Question for the reloading crowd

    So hey …. Powder throws. I bought a Frankford Arsenal bench top throw. I’m returning it. Went through the setup /seasoning cycle and out of 25 throws my low was 42.7 and the high was 52.1 and everyone on between was grossly inaccurate with IMR4198 (Brownells has it in stock). My Dillon powder...

    Suspenders for Latitude 2XL?

    Unfortunately no. I sold that saddle a while back. The clips on the ends just slide up in to the webbing links on the top of the saddle. It’s super easy. I zip tied them in so they wouldn’t come out when not in use. Semper Fi, Mike

    Amsteel not wanting to come out of CamCleat

    Same. Are you taking the tension off the stick before trying to pull the amsteel? … you know, pulling up on the stick? Semper Fi, Mike

    Question for the reloading crowd

    Ya know …. When I started using the progressive, I had this feeling that it doesn’t readily lend itself to the meticulousness that can be more easily had with a single stage. I ordered the FA F1 and it arrived the other day. Haven’t had a chance to inbox it yet. Next question….. so for...

    Question for the reloading crowd

    Funny, you should ask. Up until buying the 4570 and deciding to reload, everything else I do is either small rifle or small pistol. Yesterday, I just so happened to look online at Sportsmans warehouse. The brand new one that opened up near where I live Has them in stock for local sale. They sell...
