    Pants?

    Duluth has recently come out with some nice stretchy, durable, lightweight work pants. Some have knee pad pockets. I bought a few pairs for work and shooting. I like them so far and they weren’t $200 a pair.

    Talk to me about the dreaded case neck "Donut"

    You guys are all really starting to overthink this. You’re inserting variables and scenarios that just don’t matter. Brass donuts happen on many different cartidges. You can fight with them, or work around them. Working around them is easy provided you know what they actually are. Now you do...

    Talk to me about the dreaded case neck "Donut"

    I think as long as you’re not getting deep ejector plunger marks in your cases, you’re fine. Whose brass are you using? Depending on how your gas system is timed, extraction and ejection upon firing is a pretty violent action. So, I wouldn’t expect pristine brass the to be the result. if all...

    Talk to me about the dreaded case neck "Donut"

    Donuts in your brass should not be causing any kind of pressure problems. That’s not how it works. Donuts form at the neck/shoulder junction on the inside of the case as the brass flows up with repeated firing. They will cause a very slight stricture in the case neck, but not enough to increase...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    I use aftermarket foam tips in my Etymotics. They made a huge difference in usability. I don’t recall what I got, but they were on Amazon and fairly cheap. They do dry out very fast though. I typically go weeks between uses and need new ones each time. Despite that, they went from being unusable...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    After watching the videos, I think I found where I’ve got it wrong. I’m not putting my Kestrel back in “device“ mode once I have the gun profiles loaded from the phone app. I’m ranging my target, and the RF is going to the Kestrel for a solution from the AB Elite engine, but the Kestrel is...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    Thanks fellas. I’ve had the kestrel and binos for a while and had no problems with that system and a manual scope. Adding in the Sierra 6 is what’s giving me fits. Do I just keep the Binos and kestrel linked as usual in ABX mode, bond the binos with the scope on the BDX app, and then disconnect...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    Ok, so I have the devices, Sierra 6 scope, kilo 3k’s, and a Kestrel Elite. How in the actual fuck do I get them all connected and working quickly and accurately? I have been pulling my hair out and questioning my sanity for three days now. There has to be a video or something somewhere showing...

    Kestrel Elite, Kilo 3000BDX, and Sierra 6 riflescope complete system

    So I built a rifle for my nephew. I want it to be something really special that he’ll enjoy for years to come, and remember me ever time he pulls the trigger and makes a hit. I outfitted it with a new Sig Sierra6 BDX 3-18x. I’m also giving him my Kilo 3000 RF binos and Kestrel 5700 Elite. My...

    School me on what Log Splitter I should buy

    Our electric/belt drive Super split is coming up on 40 years of service between two or three families. I’ve not seen many logs it wouldn’t eventually split. If I could get it onto the beam, it split. My 75 year old mom still loves to run it on cool fall afternoons...

    PRS Talk which vortex

    Also, with the exception of the reticle, the AMG is manufactured 100% in the USA. The RAZR line is not manufactured in the US. Though they are still great scopes.

    We must win the Justice War...

    How do we solve the problem of a biased justice system? We institute real justice. Kyle should never have been arrested. The police should have been afraid to arrest him. Afraid that those same law-abiding ccw holders you mention would shoot the police if they tried. If he were charged with a...

    Which powders for the 6.5 Creedmoor are spherical?

    I think the real issue with temperature stability is that so many shooters run their cartridges on the ragged edge of being too damn hot. We try to eek every bit of speed out of the smallest cartridge possible. If one wants to load a few thousands rounds of year round blasting ammo with ball...
