To be honest I get tired of music about half the time and switch over to talk radio and podcasts. Been listening to a lot of TED talks and Dave Ramsey.

Flyleaf just seems to keep coming up on pandora.

What music do you listen to while chambering??? I have gone the gambit and keep coming to the conclusion that Classic Country is what I want to listen but it is just too mellow and feel like I should be just hanging out. Now I listen to some stuff that is hard enough to keep the attitude of...

If you have it to cut, it would be best in this situation to make sure that pilot is riding in the bore before any cutting is done. Sure you can do it like you have it now, but if you need to ask the questions then just play it safe and cut of however much needed to for the pilot to do its job...

We install a lot of Badger Thrusters and I get a lot of feedback if how well they work.

One of the big benefits to going with a Remington 700 is the availability of used aftermarket parts. Just look through the For Sale section and you will see that there is no shortage of used 700 parts for some really great deals. No would would tell you that the 700 is the perfect platform for...

We have been using the cheap Plano cases and I am not all that happy with them. I would like to find something with a little more protection.

Rifle AR15 Shipping Boxes Foam Lined | Foam-Lined Gun Boxes Thinking about switching over to these boxes for shipping rifles. I have never been that impressed with shipping in plastic cases. Any of you guys use them and can shed some light on the subject. Thanks Russell

No doubt that it is a ballistic advantage over the standard 308 but compare that same type of hot load to a 280, 284, 6.5-06, 6.5-284 and you get 10-20" less drift at 1000. So those looking for a ballistic advantage usually don't stop halfway and settle on the 30-06 unless they want to shoot...

Mainly because there isn't a whole lot of advantage over the 308. when most people are looking for something better than the 308 they tend to want the best ballistics they can get with the least amount of recoil and the 30-06 doesn't really fit into that category.

I would look at a 223AI. you can use a smaller 223 can to keep weight down (and give you a reason to buy another can) and the recoil is next to nothing. When you want to put a bunch of rounds down range, pick up some 55 FMJ's and 2 MOA targets and go to town. When you want to really reach out...

The 260 is an awesome round to get you into tactical comps. Sure you will be giving up something to the guys shooting a 243 or 6CM, but you will have almost twice the barrel life. Remember a lot of the guys in the PRS matches are looking to get every advantage they can and don't mind paying...

the 6.5-284 is just so hard on barrels if you plan to use it often. For most guys that shoot steel that is a deal breaker. When we go out to shoot we want to be able to shoot and not worry about killing 10%-15% of the barrel that day.... I would look at the 284, 280 and 280AI if you want to...

Hey Keith, I would say 11.25" unless you have any ideas of trying to shoot the really heavy subsonic stuff. It is a gives you the ability to shoot a good variety of bullet styles and weights. Your velocity won't change much at all and at the distances you are wanting to shoot I would go as...

Did he call Badger?
