My Father would always have fried oysters.
Put in a egg bath the dipped in cracker crumbs fried in oil. I make them the same way every time.

« on: December 29, 2024, 12:43:29 PM »
I think the Cons have helped me make up my mind. No Brake for me.
When at the bench I will use a shooting pad for the 340. If I ever shoot anything with it I'm sure I won't even notice it. Plus there's a big difference between shooting at the bench in a tee shirt and shooting in the field with a jacket on.
Thank you !!

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Pros and Cons of Muzzle Breaks ?
« on: December 26, 2024, 10:43:01 AM »
I recently changed my bosses trigger on his Tem 700 in 300 wby. It cam with a 26 " barrel and factory muzzle break. I shot it many years ago when he first bought it. But I didn't own a 300 weatherby back then. But I couldn't help but notice how mild the recoil was I mean less than my semi auto 30-06.
I still don't like the added length and louder report. But as I age I sure did like the lighter recoil. To the point that I was actually thinking about sending my 300 and 340 to weatherby to have them installed. Just looking for any thoughts you might have on the subject. Your input is always appreciated.

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Getting your scope level
« on: December 21, 2024, 06:54:05 PM »
I have bought a couple different leveling products that really don't work. I came up with this method that works well as long as you have a flat area on your base you can access.
I use 3 levels a flat piece of steel. A stock channel tool works well. I balance the flat steel with a level on each side and a 3rd level on the cap or top screw. In this case my son's scope is canted. I am going to loosen the rings straighten it so all 3 are level and slowly tighten them back up. It works every time on my rifles.

I seen that too. Very Good watch. I like what Adam is doing. I am A big fan of the Original Line up of wood stocked rifles. But I do understand the way of the future is to give the new generation what they want.

Fox News aired the response from the pentagon.
They would only say that there not a treat or from any country that would mean us harm.
Fly one my way while I'm hunting.

« on: December 12, 2024, 02:22:18 PM »
Just talked to the reloading department at Hornady. And all this guy could tell me is that all there reloading data for the 450 Bushmaster is for a Large rifle primer. So I guess I need to visit there web site or buy a new book. But in the mean time I have at least a 100 pieces of brass with the small primer pocket.

I have been reading different things . The last I heard that Hornady has already switched back to the small primers. That it was a supply problem.
But the only way to find out is I will call Hornady and find out if the large primer brass is worth keeping or not.

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / 450 Bushmaster Primer Pocket Switch
« on: December 09, 2024, 07:30:31 PM »
I just bought a Bergara B14 Ridge Rifle in 450 bushmaster. To take advantage of Michigan's allowing you to shoot the straight wall hunting cartridges instead of a muzzle loader during the Muzzle loader season in lower MI.
I already had the brass dies and bullets. As I had one in the past. And some just left a nearly full box of brass on the table at my gun club.
So I was loading another box and used the once fired brass. I primed rhe 1st one just fine then the 2nd and 3rd wouldn't except the primer. I was using cci small rifle. It turns out Hornady made the switch to large rifle some time in 2022.
Some Sauid because small rifle primers were to hard to come by.
But what I want to know is the load data the same. ?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you Grizz

I asked leupold that question. The simple answer is there is not enough demand for gloss scopes anymore. Not worth it to even make them in 3-9 ×40

My Nephew sent me A text last week looking for Regular IMR 7828 he said it was discontinued.
I have 2 lbs of the SSC as that's what my 340 likes. I will keep an eye out.
