    Training Courses Corey Alan Jackson from Range Time, Terre Haute Indiana. (Stolen Valor)

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST vs. Leupold Mk 4.

    Vortex PST hands down. I have had a number of Mark 4's and they were OK. I would take a Vortex over the Leupold's any day. Leupold kind of had the market corned for a long time in this country. But once they started getting tactical scope competition, IMO they never rose up to meet or beat...

    Re: Hornady 50gr Z-Max in 1-7 Twist 223 Rem I use Hornady TAP in 40 grain in my Colt 10'3" 1/7 work gun. It is an extremely accurate load in my gun.

    Re: Barrel Crown Cutter From a owner of a Manson facing and crowning tool I can tell you they do a damn good job when you use the correctly. There are a lot of people that worry about stuff that don't need worried about. Doubt me read some of the post's on the first page. Anyway, nice job to...

    Case trimmer recommendation

    Re: Case trimmer recommendation I purchased a like new Giraud on ebay with a .308 and .223 trimmer setup. Best purchase I have ever made. Trimming is now a non issue where as before it was my most dreaded reloading chore.

    Rifle Scopes My new IOR scope

    Re: My new scope I really like my IOR 3-18x42! I only wish it had a little more eye relief. Other than that little thing the optic has been flawless for me. I will be buying a new one for another build here in the near future.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST vs. Nightforce NXS $1000 Difference?

    Re: Viper PST vs. Nightforce NXS $1000 Difference? The mere fact that anyone is arguing over the merits of each scope should be testament that the PST line of optics are a pretty damn good deal for the money. Everyone has seen the guy that shows up to the range with his 5k rifle setup and...

    Gunsmithing Fire Lapping

    Re: Fire Lapping I recently hand lapped a .308 PSS barrel with a NECO kit. This thing would foul like crazy and was shooting at best 1 moa. I turned the barrel in about 3/4", cut a new chamber and lapped it by hand while it was still off. It really made the thing shoot (1/2 moa) and clean...

    Primer Pin Whole

    Re: Primer Pin Whole In my instance I do not think it was over pressure. It is a relatively stout load in this particular rifle. But I have fired hundreds of rounds of the same load in the same gun and with all the same components,conditions ect. with nary a problem. I thought for sure that...

    Re: Primer Pin Whole Amazing thing is I just had a .308 load do the exact same thing!! My load was 44.0 Varget 175 SMK, WW brass. I think that particular round had Remington primers in it. Not sure on the primer because my ammo box got tipped over and I had WW and Remington primers in it...
