    iphone/ipod touch rifle mount

    Re: iphone/ipod touch rifle mount Just wondering, how much stress/shock/abuse can an iphone take? Sure they are surprisingly durable if dropped, and bouncing around in a pocket, but the forces at work on this device mounted to a rifle are probably not well tested by apple. I'm not saying it...

    Keeping bullets linged up while seating

    So I just started loading for my AR. I have been loading for my 300 win mag, and I've run into a new challenge loading for the AR. The issues is that the 75 grain BTHP Hornady bullets are a bitch to keep lined up while seating. It really slows me down, and takes some of the joy out of...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 new bottom metal fitting question

    I have a Remington 700 that needed new bottom metal. I ordered up a new bdl type trigger guard and and new front screw to match, and the front screw is about 1/8th-1/4" too short, and wont catch the thread of the action. The stock is a sendero take off a.k.a HS precision, with a factory 700...

    Re: My primers came off back order form Cabelas. I called today, and the lady told me I was SOL. She offered that the system is a first come first serve deal, and I was not first. I asked her what other primers she would back order me on, and she said my best bet would be the remington...

    Lancaster Arms AK47

    Re: Lancaster Arms AK47 I'm shocked at what these things sell for now. I met the guy running the show at Lancaster. He wanted to trade me my sig p239 for a romy g. Ihad 3 at the time so isaid no, but at 900 a pop I feel like a Jack ass. Those Lancaster romy g rifles are well made but it's a...

    My primers came off back order form Cabelas.

    ...But not in a good way. I have had these on order since April 22. I have seen plenty of Cabelas backorder posts with small shreds of optimism. My optimism is gone. Dear Customer, We regret to inform you that we are still unable to supply the merchandise you requested and now find it...

    Max load with RL22 in my 300 win mag

    Re: Max load with RL22 in my 300 win mag Thanks for the input everybody. Now I'm curious about why heavier bullets seem to require less powder. The same page that told me to stay under 79 grains, suggest 73 grains of RL 22 for speer 200 grain soft points? Alliant reloading page for RL22...

    Max load with RL22 in my 300 win mag

    I was wondering if I could bounce some data off you all, and get some feed back about safety and overpressure rounds. To start I have just started reloading and I have been loading for my 700P in 300 win mag. I'm working up a load for some Speer 168 grain BTHP match I picked up at bass pro...

    Redding powder mesure question

    Re: Redding powder mesure question Thanks Winchester! My measure is tulip shaped, and marked competition in addition to the br-30, as well as no powder baffle. I'll ping Redding now that I have a better idea of what is going on.

    Redding powder mesure question

    I bought a "like new" Redding 3br of a hide member. When I received the measure, I got online to look for a manual and realized I had received a br-30. The markings on the mic go all the way to 100, though the max it will dial to is 80. Even while set at 78 grains I was throwing 54 ish, which...
