    Remmy 700 .223 and a 1:12 twist 26" BBL

    Although I didn't vote as I haven't had any experience with the Dillon I do own the RCBS and have used it to swage 223, 308 and 30-06. It's a lot better than the press mounted by far. I keep mine mounted on a block of wood that I can c-clamp it to my bench or just free handed it. This way it's...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint scope for cheap...flamers welcome!

    I have one of the PA 1x-4x scopes on my AR and when I ordered it I made a mistake on the mount that I wanted and they called me to verify what I wanted. They then made the correction. How many companies do you know will go that extra mile to be sure you get what want. The scope itself works very...
