    Insurance question.

    stand alone policy with the same insurance agent as home owners. They had to come out and at least count number of items and a list of model and serial #. A little effort up front but easy to add and take away as your needs change. But as mentioned before it covers them outside of the home...

    2nd Annual Michigan Precision Rifle Challenge 2 slots left.

    Great match from my view point. I was on glass all day Saturday spotting. They put together a bunch of great stages. I have seen before were they give the shooter say 1 min to find the targets and then time to shoot them. There was no time standing around looking for them and helping...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    I found the custom curves in the gun loader that was easy. And transfer to kestrel will be cake. Just wondering about getting the custom curves to my android phone. I saw something before the curves could be purchased for a couple bucks each. I am good with that just need to be able to...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    I had asked before were to get the custom drag curves and was told in the app store. I can not find them. Can someone help with this? A how to video on getting the drag curve to all devices would be great also. A 2 minute video can save so much time and frustration. To some this...

    interesting fella told me not to clean brass before reloading???

    Well the biggest reason the bench guys don't tumble there brass is they don't have time between rounds. They only have time to wipe down there say 25 cases. I have destroyed dies with black carbon from case necks. Wont do that again. I always tumble and then tumble in clean dry corn cob...

    Gunsmithing I've had it with Tactical Rifles.

    remind him he said he was just waiting on a barrel. Take take take and run. Don't give another dime. You have spent enough. Spending money on a lawyer I agree seems like a good idea but that is more money out of pocket and still no rifle. Get the parts what you can of them and go...

    Gunsmithing I've had it with Tactical Rifles.

    Have him send you everything but the barrel. If all he is waiting on is that, you would have all the other pieces to send to a smith that might not have as heavy a work load as them. At least you would get something back.

    Gunsmithing mercury

    Put one in a 22-250 once. Wanted to stop the hop off target to see prairie dog hit. Didn't seem to help at all. Didn't hurt my groups. Cost of it compared to say lead shot and epoxy. Next time will be lead shot and epoxy.

    Good, inexpensive chronograph?

    Oehler 35P are being made. I bought mine about a year ago after using too many cheap chrony,s to list. Find a buddy that needs one also and go in together. Or just do without. I would be lost without it now for load development. Have seen rifles shoot groups under 1/2 " at 100 yrds...

    Good, inexpensive chronograph?

    Good inexpensive crony. Better luck finding a unicorn!!!!! Temp 9 hit the nail on the head your better off without. The cheapest I would buy would be the magnetospeed. I have the latest version and love it. You may be able to find someone parting with one of the older version units...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    A demilled version would be just fine. I understand there are features there that civilians will never use. And the reg AB is the same solver. But when there are better features to make things quicker and easier to use bring it. A better mouse trap is always good. Is there a way to...
