@Josh Chambers Troy Polamalu says every year of his NFL career he watched every snap from 5 different safeties and built both highlight and lowlight tapes on them because you're never going to be original in pursuit of greatness. "Every year I watched five safeties. And I would literally watch every single one of their plays. I would make a highlight tape… And a lowlight tape of all of them." "That's what I did throughout my whole career. Ed was somebody I watched every single one of his …

This poor action has to feel used and abused. After all - it's mine. It wasn't the first custom action I'd ever owned, but it was the first one that got much use. I traded a Manner's stocked long action Defiance with a 6.5-284 Bartlein for this Butch's white labeled Stiller, to retire a Remington 700 when I got serious about shooting PRS.

And being of the slow sort, it took until that Sunday to lock in the idea that maybe, just maybe, I could play the gam …

I'm one of the holdovers from a slower time. My reloading is pretty basic, tedious, but pretty accurate. This combination of parts is going to become 6.5 Creedmoor ammo to be flung outta a 30" Brux barrel: Lapua SRP brass - new Sierra 142 Match Kings Hodgdon H4350 As you can see from the picture, I'm using an arbor die - Micron Precision - from Bullet Central. There was a time I would roll a round across the table to see if the tip wiggled, kind of a poor man's concentricity test. That doesn't …
