    Just getting started...

    welllllll - maybe! Seems this is a bad time to try to start reloading. Want to start reloading 308/7.62X51 but wow - powder and primers are nowhere to be found. I have found some bullets and gotten on some mailing lists and have some stuff on back order but other than that I got nothing! Any...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for some info on a Shepherd scope

    Thanks! been trying to figure out how to sight this puppy in. Up to now would have been wrong! Since I have no idea where this thing has been, I went and put it as close to the center on all adjustments and will see how it does. My Bushnell bore sight is useless with the setup on the rifle...

    Shopping for a 308 bolt action

    Thanks for the responses! This is exactly what I needed - questions back that make me define and think through what it is I really want to do!

    Shopping for a 308 bolt action

    Good day! I am looking at getting into a 7.62X51/308 auto loader, just not real excited about the results I am getting with my 5.56 at 100 yards - from a bench, 3-4 inch groups using Lake City or Federal 855 ammo. I have seen quite a bit on the DPMS rifles but mostly the 556, any critique on...
