    What ammo to purchase to test four 6.5mm CM barrels from three manufacturers?

    What's the goal here? You are likely to find out which load works best with which barrel, but you won't find out what works best.

    New from SW Michigan

    I'm longtime shooter, for fun and work. USPSA and 3 gun have been my passion. Shot the Garrand match at Camp Perry several times. Tried high power, my eyes are getting too old for that. Red dots and scopes are pretty much required for me. Last year I sent an unremarkable .308 to Mark Gordon...

    GSG STG 44 Report

    I have one these .22's also. Same experience with accuracy and the front sight. It's fun to shoot and easy to maintain.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex scopes must have an awful lot of problems

    I have one Razor HD and two PST from vortex. My last PST came with a hand written note from the salesman at Vortex. This is good customer service without a quality problem.

    Taking a training class, knowing you will struggle?

    If your equipment doesn't meet the requirements you will be a distraction to the instructor and other students. Don't be that guy.

    I really screwed up

    I use an app called White Noise on my Android phone. The white noise masks the ringing in my ears so I can sleep. Adjust the volume to about equal with the ringing and then enjoy a good nights sleep. I use an external speaker connected to the headphone jack for better quality sound. Some...

    16" rifle length gas 308 reliability?

    An adjustable gas block (over bored) may fix problems, if any are encountered. I have a 16" dpms and have not had any problems. However, it's only been shot in warm weather.

    What are some common .22 rifle brands and models for accuracy?

    I picked up a sweet shooting Anschutz this past summer for my wife. 1416 is the model number, I think. Cost was a little north of a thousand, maybe 1300. Very accurate and she says it's pretty. I put a Zeiss on it, only to find out she doesn't have a clue how to look through it.

    Fenix TK flashlights any good?

    I have both Fenix and Surefire lights. They really are not in the same class at all. Fenix are not nearly as nice as a Surefire with similar specs, but they are far less expensive. Edit: I prefer Olight over Fenix most of the time. Surefire is what I use at work because the light must be...

    Rifle Scopes What can we expect from SHOT?

    It really depends on the company, some have the product in full production with inventory ready. Some products never make it to market or shouldn't (kimber solo). My experience overall is 6 to 10 months for new products arriving at the LGS.

    magnum primers with AR loads ?

    I have seen reloading data for max. load .223 rem that uses the magnum primer with 55 grain bullets. Per Hodgdon website the 25.0 gr puts you over max load so there may be a benefit, but Hodgdon doesn't suggest anything other than SR primers. Loaddata.com has several records for hot .223 using...
