I do take into account reviews and especially personal experiences shared by people here. When simply browsing reviews on the web, one has to sort the wheat from the chaff so to speak because regardless of the product there are people who won't like it and will give it a poor review. I did find...

Sorry I checked out for a bit on this thread. I have been an EMT for five years and we work 24 hour rotations twice per week. The other five days per week I run a small agricultural/pasture service where I clear invasive trees with a big hydraulic saw on one of my skid loaders and the other one...

Is this a +/- 0.1 grain which, in my case would give a range of 43.4-43.6? Or do you mean stay on 43.5 for every single powder charge? If its the latter of the two I can tell you that my powder drop can't do that running varget. Any of the extruded powders seem to give my little powder drop a...

I just picked up a McMillan A5 for my 308 5r. It was basically new and I gave $650 for it. I assume by this conversation that I did alright? I run across stuff like this once in a while. I'd be happy to pass these kinds of things along to you guys when I find them if it's worth doing or if...

Thank you guys for helping to point me in the correct directions here. I knew my reloading setup was quite basic. Shooting coyotes with a 4000+ fps 40 grain pill out of 26" 22-250 at 400 yards and in is quite simple comparatively speaking. I have spent years doing that and my reloading setup...

For what its worth, this is the scope: Vortex Optics: Razer HD: 5-20x50mm - Mil-Radian Turrets - w/ SPUHR MOUNT!! - Mile High Shooting Accessories And this is the mount: SP-5002 - 35mm Picatinny Mount 0MIL/0MOA - 1.46"

In fairness to everyone, I have to credit my old man with teaching me to reload and for my lifelong interest in accuracy. However he has never done anything like this so he is now asking me questions and its a very odd feeling to go from the student one day to attempting to share my newfound...

I had the opportunity to spend a day with a US army sniper two Saturdays ago on a local range that reaches to 1400 yards. I haven't had that much fun in a long time and I learned a tremendous amount but as the saying goes, the more you know the more you realize you don't know. The rig: I was...
