Just ordered 1,000 primers from Cabela's. They are in stock today, 09/03/2014. Just a note for those who need them.

Re: What is best to start with? I started last year with a Savage 10fcp/Mcmillan. Nightforce rings, Vortex scope. After a few months I had my gunsmith pillar bed it for me. Now I have shot at both 600 yards and 1,000 yard meets. I have learned two things, I will save for a much better scope...

i am going to my first 1,000 yard F/TR class competition in a few weeks. My shooting buddy has noticed me fidgeting constantly with my cheap rear bag. Up to now, I have shot only up to 600 yards. He says I better get a good solid rest for 1,000 yards. Any suggestions? I am shooting a Savage...

Re: 308 Powder Choice I like Varget, it also meters very well.

Re: Range bag recommendations? Just a note; I ended up with the Midway. It is so practical I got real excited and loaded it with so much stuff I could barely pick it up. The downside to all of these top notch bags is that they are so well designed that you're tempted to over fill them. Now I...

Re: F-Class shoots in Michigan Cadillac was my first ever match. Had a blast. Great bunch of guys, and I learned a lot, escpecially not to change loads ( I ran out of my preferred load) in the middle of the last relay! That really fudged me up, lol. Anyway, I want to thank the guys who...

Re: F-Class shoots in Michigan The e-mail I received says the Cadillac match is $30. for non Cadillac Sportsman Club members. I will be at there Sunday for my first, ever match. In fact I've never shot over 200 yards before. I hope to learn a lot from you guys. Reigistration starts at 7:30 am...

Re: Range bag recommendations? I will try out the Midway bag and if it doesn't work out, I will go to the Brownells. At least I will look good.

I am looking for a range bag. Sometimmes I carry a couple of pistols/revolvers, or I'll carry my rifle setup. Always carry a couple hundred rounds of handloads, data book, earmuffs, spotting scope, targets. etc.I am looking at the Midway and the Eagle bags, but haven't seen them in person. I am...

Re: Realistic Expectations? As a newbie myself, a I am certainly not qualified to make suggestions, but I followed advice from friends here on the Hide. I bought a Savage 10fcp Mcmillan and added a Vortex Viper 6.5-20X50 on good rings and base, Then I had my local gunsmith glass bed it and...

Re: Emergency message from R&D Precision *UPDATE* +1 on the prayers.

Re: $2000 to spend. Which of these setups? I realize that this is not on your list, but I've had the same situation (cost vs. reality). Following advice I got here on the Hide, I bought a Savage 10fcp, Mcmillan in .308 ($1,200.). I outfitted it with a Nightforce 20 degree rail and Nightforce...

Re: Which stock rifle for a newbie? I am following the advice of some guys here on the Hide, and have taken my Savage to a competent gunsmith to have the Mcmillan stock glass and pillar bedded. In my fisrt 100 round I have been able to get a few .50 groups consistently and my last one would...

Re: Pelican 1720 precision cut foam (hot wire cutter) Great post. I've always wanted a Pelican, but was afraid to spend the money and munch up the foam!

Re: Thank you Tony @ Impact Data Books I too, ordered my Impact Data Book about a month ago. I screwed up and ordered the wrong pages-all of one target type.! Tony noticed this and e-mailed me immediately. I called and asked him to set me up as a new shooter and he did a great job for me...
