Re: Free Printable To-Scale Targets Thanks for the target site info.

Re: Bushnell Elite Tactical 4.5-30 x 50mm Scope I have the Eltie Tactical in 6.5x24-50 and am really pleased with it. Sounds like you got a good scope for a very reasonable price.

Re: Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures Great read. Thank you for all the info. I think that the break-in method is determined by how accurate the barrel is. If you can group your first shots with minimum cleaning the barrel will need little break-in. Regardless what you...

Re: "Assault" rifle prices since Newtown To those who have no problem with a mandatory gun safe: Have you ever thought of how this would be enforced? First there would have to be another level of beaucracy. Then the government would have the right to come into our homes without a search...

Re: Enco Machines??? Great looking lathe-milling machine. I have never had any formal training on a lathe but practiced running one at work at lunchtime. It is easy to pick up the basics. After retiring, my brother, who is a machinist, and I bought a small lathe. I have learnt much from...

Re: What would YOU sell an AR-10 lower for? I am a firm believer in "What goes around comes around". So if you have no problem selling it, go for it. Just remember that the next time you buy something it might be your rear being expanded.

Re: IMR 8208 Powder Thanks for all the good feedback. I plan to give the IMR 8208 powder a good try in my AR reloads.

I have done a Sniper's Hide search and did not find what I am looking for. I would like to know the opinion of the IMR 8208 powder and is it clean burning and does it leave a heavy residue in a 223 rifle like some powders? Thanks for the info.

Re: Lokking for 308 reloading data for a math equation I know that there are ballistic software available and I have used them but I am trying to include the human variable of using data from different shooters with different rifles. I also understand that velocities will differ with...

I am looking for 308 reloading data to do a math equation. What I am trying to do is determine the expected velocity for a specific amount of Reloder-15 powder with a 175 gr SMK bullet when shot from a 26 inch barrel. I have checked Spider's Hide Reloading Depot and can only find a small amount...

Re: Dick's Sporting Goods Remington 223 Have one in 308. I replaced the stock and scope. A great shooting rifle.

Re: Person of Interest The best new show on TV. Enjoy being surprised by the endings for a change.

Re: Sons of Guns - New Discovery Show Just watched the last episode. I could not blame Vince for leaving. Giving Kris a job that he could not do than Vince working all night to fix the rifle out of parts that Kris supplied and then blaming Vince for the problem. The big problem for the...
