Simply put. I am very safe. I would never load anything without first viewing published data. I think we can all agree upon who the reputable sources are. It was a simple question. I use H335 for 4 different calibers with great results...one load is in my .221 Fireball. I appreciate your honest...

Just reporting back. The Zeiss is as expected...great glass. Recently loaded a few rounds and after 2 trips to the range this is what I got. In 5 shot increments. All bullets jumped .010 from the lands. Remington brass CCI 200 primers 87 gr Berger VLD 41.5 gr H4350 1" at 100 yds 42...

Thank you all for the information. I have a few other Timneys and I really like them! I am trying to work some brass up so I will most likely shoot through a few boxes. I have had great luck with Remington Premier ammo out of my Rem 700 LVSF in .221 Fireball shooting 59gr. Have not even...

Just picked one of these up the other day and mounted the new Zeiss Terra 3-9x42 on it. First .243 I have ever owned. It is mint with factory barrel. Referenced the serial and it comes back 1997 production. I am looking for an answer to a few questions I have. First, what rate of twist was...

Re: Reloading old Ruger M77 220 Swift I respectfully thank yall for you input and opinions. I reloaded a 50gr VMax with IMR 4064 and my first shot at 50yds to make sure it was on paper shot 3/4inch from bull. I backed it up to 100yds and it shot 2inch high and 2inch left. I clicked it over...

I just purchased a Ruger M77 (low serial, tang safety) 220 Swift with 26" BBL. I also reload for my .223 and have alot of 60gr Vmax bullets that I can load, However I'm wondering if the twist rate is 1 in 14 for this old Ruger. I have heard there have been problems with twist rates in this...

I have a low profile AR-15 with the low picatinny gas block. I have alot of options for mounting my scoped rifle but I would like to know if the eye relief would be proper for a picatinny add on the low gas block at a 45 degree angle when using a Vortex Sparc? Or If I should just go ahead and...

Does anyone have any opinions on these slickside DPMS bull barrel uppers? I've heard from many sources that they are very accurate, but I've never owned a slickside and want to know if there would be any potential problems. For $400 bucks I figured why not try it!

Re: Question??? AR-15 Barrel That's what I've heard. Once I get this new build put together I'll update some pictures on here. Thanks for the input.

Re: Question??? AR-15 Barrel Yeah I heard that from other people as well! I just heard their barrels weren't good all around. I decided to go with this instead. CMMG 16" 5.56 NATO Bull Barrel •Mil-spec certified 4140 chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel •5.56x45 NATO chamber •1/9 twist •11...

I'm considering the purchase of this Upper. Wanted to know if anyone has experience with a 1:8 Twist barrel for 5.56 NATO??? The specs are below...I've usually seen them in 1:7 or 1:9 Twist...Do yall think it will be alright? •Caliber: 5.56mm NATO •Bolt & Carrier Group: SAA Mil-spec •Upper...

Re: 12 or 20 gauge for bird hunting Smack knows what's up!

Re: 12 or 20 gauge for bird hunting I've hunted everything from quail and dove to waterfowl and turkeys and never used anything but a 20. I don't care what anybody sais, you need to get one in your hands and try it. There are different styles of guns, ie, semi-auto and pumps, and I've seen...
