    Rifle Scopes I've been Vortex'd

    If your windage turret was still turned where it belongs, the THAT didn’t happen to you. Including re-indexing the turret during the mischief is just too unlikely. Bums are usually a bit lazy.

    Rifle Scopes I've been Vortex'd

    My Dad had some interesting stories of see indirect cheating at rifle matches. Like putting a handful of windage on another person’s rifle when the bum thought no one was looking. At that time and those places, the rifles were racked in between relays.

    308 win for 1 mile shot

    Haha! I've seen similar data in USA Bullseye pistol. Some bullets just flip sideways and fly a few inches off your aim at 49 yards! Especially in .38 Special.

    Firearms Red Dawn Wet Dream Value Pack

    And THANK YOU for referencing the right Red Dawn. In the remake, Peeta's (actor's character in Hunger Games) "Wolverines!" cry from atop the building was weak and a half-beat late. And the anti-Iraq war references made me want to puke.

    Why you can't argue with a leftist...

    Sure hope that’s sarcasm and pointing out the false excuse of every commie failure on the planet...the Workers’ Paradise can’t work until the worldwide revolution is complete and the last capitalist is hung. They can go around the corner and hump a unicorn for all I care. Government forced...

    Bundy ranchers

    Um, that’s the Hammond lease up in Oregon, not the Cliven Bundy lease in Nevada. Bundy was a freeloader with the intellectual honesty of an Irwin Schiff tax protester. And I hate what the FBI tried to do to Bundy and his hangers-on. Anyone have a clue as to how often and how much farther back...

    .308 Winchester

    Well the Hornady 178 A-Max crunches with that load in USGI brass. Has IMR 4064 had burn rate variations lately? Worked up that load a few years ago, and this year I’m getting signs of max pressure using it with 168 ELDs. Bearing length on the ELD is noticeably shorter than on the 178 A-Max...

    .308 Winchester

    M1A full length (22" barrel), 168-gr bullets (probably the Hornady ELD since they finally fixed that boat tail problem), GI brass. Varget or good old reliable IMR 4064??? Wondering where the collective experiences and wisdom are on this these days. I'm in the midst of load development once I...

    M14 craving - wanting to build the ultimate sub-moa M14.

    IME/IMO, the M14 drops from many capable of .5-.8 MOA to 1-1.5 MOA at rounds 4 and/or 5 in the group. I rebarrelled mine when a 2nd hard-found load opened up to 1.25-1.5 MOA all the time. Both the prior barrel and this one will drop 2-3 rounds almost on top of each other out to 600. My spot...

    M1 Garand seen this?

    Not every double izza slamfire. There's jar-off of a badly worn/"tuned" trigger, "bump" firing when the slowly squeezing trigger finger is in the no-man's land between squeezed follow through and really being released, and the various ways the fining pin by itself (or a very high primer) can...

    155's in an '06?

    I'm not, but if'n I ever get a Garand again I'll probably run them. Pretty sure you can get enough speed out of them launched from a .30-06 and 24 full inches of barrel, to make them stay enough supersonic at 1,000. ONE load for everything is way cool. Net recoil should also be less than 175s...
