    Failed primers?

    I would second the notion of moisture causing primer failure. Before I switched to using a dehydrator to dry my brass, I used to see more primer failures that I think was due to very small amounts of moisture in the case base/flash hole that I did not notice during the loading process...

    Shorter barrels for competition

    I have a 22" Bartlein M24 profile on my 6.5 Creedmoor. I chose to go with 22" so that when I attach my Ultra7 suppressor it isn't super long and difficult to maneuver. Weight wise I'm not sure it saves me much with the heavy barrel profile. I am getting 2760 fps with 42.0 gr H4350 behind...

    Powder charge weight - how consistent does it need to be?

    You bet. Both of these guys know their stuff and are very competitive in ELR and PRS matches.

    Powder charge weight - how consistent does it need to be?

    A couple of guys I shoot with locally recently did this. Go to YouTube and look up Powder Drop Test Part 1 (I'm at work and can't share link easily). They compare Hornady, RCBS, Harrell's, A&D, and a Prometheus. I thought their methods were well thought out and provided some interesting...

    Proof research cam gas

    I have been interested in a Proof barrel for my PredatOBR for quite a while. What did you have to do to the Proof to make it work?

    Rifle for 8 yr old.

    I started my son at age 7 on a Rem 700 SPS tactical in 223. I replaced the factory stock with a Blackhawk Axiom stock. It worked really well for him and was able to grow along with him. The bonus was that once he grew out of that I had an action to build into something more interesting!

    I have zero clue about pistol reloading

    Titegroup works great for me in 9mm. You will cuss the occasional 380 case or Berdan primed case that slips through, but you will be able to feel this when it occurs. If it doesn't go easy, don't force it!

    Tank Trap - seeking plans/advice

    Thanks for posting. Have been planning to build a few tank traps of my own to practice with.

    Xsteel Targets.

    I have several of their targets and have really abused them. Coat of paint on them and they come out looking brand new each time.

    Rifle Scopes Anything better than the Trijicon 1-8 for the money?

    I have used a Vortex Razor HD II 1-6 for the past 3 seasons shooting 3 gun. For me the dot is daylight bright and works really well. The only down side is that the scope is built like a tank and is heavy. You can find 10% off codes from Optics Planet from some of the sponsored 3 gun shooters...
