the new powder from Hodgdon, the CFE 223. Does it REALLY give top velocity? Did it reduce YOUR copper fouling at all? A lot? Any? I was at Cabela's today and of course they didn't have any. But they did say it had been selling like hotcakes and they can't keep it in stock. Like to hear thoughts...

for his Son.Got a pal that is wanting to get a new rifle for his son. . The boy hunts from a platform elevated stand we built for him and is a pretty good shot, and can shoot with a bipod from his stand. He is thinking of either a .260 or .308 in something like the DPMS LR series. Only question...

Re: One Happy Marine Sir: That was indeed one heck of a nice thing you and the Mrs. did right there. If only the world were full of more folks like you two. Thank you for this post.

Re: New here and could use a little help, please! Thank you kind sir!

I got a PM yesterday and after reading it I can't find the delete button?? A little different than any other forum I belong to. I did find a "Remove me from this topic" or something to that effect. Is that it?? Thanks for any help gents.
