As a certified herbicide sprayer at one time, I would look at what the MS or manufacturer sheets say. They can be pretty specific. If you have a beard, you can go with a positive pressure face mask type with appropriate filters. If I was using a back pack sprayer, I would probably use tyvek...

We do the same. It's just my family now but we have an picture album of past hunts. No matter how many times you have heard a story, you know it will be told to future generations. In 1994 I started keeping a log. It is nice be able to look back at those times. If we get a new hunter to the...

Kids have the 6 5 creeds and do well with them on Northern Whitetail. Yours truly got to do load work ups on both guns. One gun prefers 130gr the other 140 gr bullets. I just look at a new caliber as an excuse to buy a gun. 😉. I have favorites. If I see a deal on a 280AI or a 35 whelen...

Try mathematicians if you think the chemistry guys are bad. I have both in my family. Funny as hell seeing one of them explaining something to you in chemical terms and the other saying that is only 30% truth. 😂

The damn processed foods today are killing us. One only needs to look at the list of ingredients of some of the stuff for sale and wonder what started us down this road. My grand parents did not eat these chemical additives in their food. My doc says venison is fine in moderation. We are...

Answering your question, the case capacity and the bullet weight combinations can limit the 257 shooter / reloader. Most commercial 257 bores today are a 1-10 twist. You may find some older rifle that are a 1-12. The 25-06 and the 257 weatherby mag can handle the 120s because they can push...

There is nothing typical about deer antlers. 😉 Some very fine looking deer here. I know we had a few make it through. No sheds yet. We have been hemmed in by new land owners the last 20 years. The very land I help put fences on, help with loose cows, and clear brush with my tractor. It...

Congrats on your rifle & caliber purchase. Factory ammo for the 257 is dismal so, to make the 257 Roberts shine, it begs to be hand loaded. With 4 257s in our house I need to reload. Each gun likes a different recipe. If I had to pick one bullet to get it done , it would probably be a 100gr...
