    Bataan Death March

    I live in El Paso and completed the half. Its horrible, the weather isn't much of an issue but there is alot of soft sand. I did it for my great uncle, who died in the prison camp after the March about a week before it was liberated. It is run extremely well though and was a good time.

    Fieldcraft Tactical Concealment to be used in my classes

    So I realize this thread is a bit old but I have read through the couple of threads about Tactical Concealment and ordered from them this week. I have a school coming up and do not have time to construct my own for various reasons including taking the kids on vacation the week before. I've...

    FL sizing?

    Please forgive this question as I've heard varying information. I am FL sizing and tring as hard as possible for consistency. I am about to start load dev for 175gr 308 and I've heard conflicting information. Crimp or no crimp?

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    Why not throw a caliper on it and verify? I've read that .002 crimp is enough. I've also read not to crimp because it can still further cause inaccuracies. I'm just getting back into reloading and setting up the lab but I'm curious. Crimp or no crimp? I won't be annealling cases, just...

    Hey man, thanks for the posts. I have a school coming up and I need to start working on mine and knock out the top and the hat at least. I appreciate the knowledge.

    Steel gong target idea help

    So, I shot my target this weekend and it held up until just before we were about to leave. We had hit it about 40 times at 475 yards with 308, 223, and 22-250. Last round broke the welds between the plates and a better examination revealed that I suck at welding and that I need a hotter...

    Steel gong target idea help

    Those were my exact intentions. I have access to Ft. Bliss Rod and Gun Club and they have steel silhouettes out to 1000 but I can't always go out there. This steel was laying at my wife's grandfathers house and he wasn't going to use it. I got the scrap hose from a contact at fire and had the...

    Steel gong target idea help

    I found some scrap metal at my grandfathers house. The scap I found was 2 3/8 or 1/2" metal plates of unknown hardness. One was shaped sort of like an IPSC target and had a bunch of holets in it and the other was a rectangle with an ear on it. I placed it in a drill press to add a hanger of...

    LRF Spotting scope L bracket/mount

    Man, if you could loop that around the top to mount a kestrel or weatherhawk on it, you'd have the trifecta complete.

    B&C Varmint/Tactical Medalist Stock

    I currently run the same stock for a Savage 11 heavy barrel. I recently sent it to CDI in Florida for inletting and bottom metal. I wasn't sure I wanted a mag and the options for Savages are limited as compared to the Remington 700s. I do love that stock and there is a good thread by...

    Used Kestrel

    Yeah, I didn't get either. It's not worth it. Rachel at NK stated that if it doesn't turn on and the electronics are fried, they do not warranty them and the unit needs to be replaced only for credit. I wouldn't have minded yellow if the price was right.

    Suppressors .22LR Suppressor: TBAC, Silencerco, or another?

    I got the Silencerco Sparrow 22 can and I really love it. Comes apart easily for cleaning, multi caliber rated and pretty dang quiet. Like movie suppressor quiet. I am running it on a 10-22 takedown, a Ruger SR22 pistol, and a Marlin 17VS. It was $379 through the Silencer Shop in Austin and...

    Used Kestrel

    So just for your info, I called NK this morning. The repairs are basically $110 for a tuneup and if it can't be repaired, they offer a $50 credit towards a new one. Not really promising on much savings.
