Have to love this time of year in Maine. Fall lasts about ten days, right up until 9°F night temperatures great the leaves in the midst of turning. Then the chains, hitch weights and snow blower go on the tractor and about a third of the population heads for Florida…....

Browning X Bolt Hunter II
The Browning X Bolt Hunter in 30-06 Springfield proved to be a terrific combination. It shot well with factory ammunition, but handloads can sometimes tap into additional potential.

The 223 Remington And Rifles With Long Barrels Part I
History is what we remember… Listening to some old Jackson Brown performances. Good melody, good vocals and poetic lyrics. I used to be a fan until he performed Steven Van Zandt’s “I Am A Patriot” and he ended up on the scrap heap with all of the other wealthy celebrities…...

One thing, and probably the only thing I miss about living in California were the shooting ranges. Covered firing line, cement shooting benches, full time range supervision and maintenance, and a pro shop. In Maine, I mostly hose myself down with tick spray, carry a side arm and walk off…...

Ruger’s No.1 in Stainless Steel and 257 Roberts Part III
Just enough time to get in some handload development before wrapping up the Ruger No.1 257 Roberts project and to update the 257 Roberts reloading page. Pictured below in the order they appear on the table. Warning: Bullet selections are specific, and loads are not valid with substitutions of different…...
