    Photos Fun with a china marker!

    I was looking for a non-permanent way to color my stamped letters on my receiver and a thread on the hide suggested a China Marker. It seems to do the trick and looks like it's more permanent than I though it would be. If I like it enough and it ever comes off, I'll probably paint it in. For now...

    Pressure signs.

    Bear with me as these are the fist hand loads I've worked up and fired: The first one on the left from rifle #1, the primer is obviously flattened and after I popped the primer out had slight "Top Hatting". The one in the middle is the same load, in rifle #2. The third was a different load...

    Took the plunge!

    I just ordered my reloading set-up. The Lee Classic Loader set-up I have now sucks and I'm going to have to send it back again. I'm now tired of waiting, so I jumped head first into a press set-up. I couldn't afford much right now. Bought a Lee classic cast press because as I've read online if...

    Help with neck sizing die issues

    Hi guys. I've been interested in reloading for a while and have been reading a bunch. After reading a bunch of good reviews on line about the Lee classic loader set up, I ordered one in .223. I wasn't worried about speed or anything and I figured that it was a low cost alternative for getting my...

    Rifle Scopes Monarch 4-16x42 internal elevation range

    The paperwork for my scope claims it only has 40 MOA of internal adjustment on elevation and windage, yet when I count the clicks from stop to stop (not forcing it) I count 60" worth (61" actually, but I figure it's rated for 60"). Am I missing something? Did they spec it wrong or make a running...

    R700 round feeding issues

    I just bought a new R700 SPS Tactical in .223. The problem I've been having is that when I go to close the bolt if the round in the magwell is on the left (I.E. Rounds 2 and 4) the bolt will pass right over it unless it stick my finger in there and wiggle it. Ran about 40 rounds through it and...

    New Guy: R78 hunting rifle build-up & Range Report

    Hey guys. I just got my first serious (to me anyway) rifle! I picked up a Remington Model 78 30-06 from an extended family member for pocket change. Some where down the line from new, it got a Ram-Line synthetic R700 ADL stock. I got it with a Bushnell 4x38 scope and Ironsighter rings. I picked...
