    Newby looking to hand load help.

    I know I've posted a bunch on hand loading but what inevitably happens, is you learn that you can tighten your groups with a load tailored to your rifle. That often ends up costing more than store-bought ammo. Particularly in .308 caliber. I suggest you budget for ammo, such as the Federal Gold...

    Hawaii gets Kiss your a$$ goodbye alert.

    This stinks a bit of "war of the worlds". Depending on the story you believe from that event, their were craft sighed and it wasn't until later it was debunked as "just a show". Maaaaaaaybe the fact that more than one country hit the "oh shit" button at the same time wasn't a mistake after...

    Hawaii gets Kiss your a$$ goodbye alert.

    I have a friend living there now. He texted our close friend group (4 members) saying he came home to that. Ive been trying to get him off that island since he went. I joked- “at least you don’t live on a small island in the middle of... oh, shit. “ Maybe Be this is the wake up call he needs.

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    I'll throw Canada Goose into the fray as a brand you might consider. Depending on all that was mentioned above as it applies to your expected exposure, they may have something for you. Generally geared toward extreme cold (all countries on station at the south pole use their stuff) but they...

    Discontinue using the pistol! I'm a Sig fan, and an America fan, but American made Sig's just don't behave like the old German ones. (and I'm sure there were issues with some German ones too- you just don't hear about it) I was going to sell my old one (perfectly fine but several thousand...

    PRS Talk Binoculars or Spotting Scope?

    I'm leaning toward binoculars. I would like a range finding reticle, and have been eyeing the ex-military ones on Ebay et al. I would prefer more than 10X magnification however... But I think Binoculars are more useful in general as they serve well outside the shooting range too. Always...

    Is this the .25 auto? I had one for a while. Fold up an 8-1/2" X 11" paper and tuck it, and this, in your shirt pocket... it was fun, neat etc. but not much good at anything other than starting conversations. It went down the road years ago.

    Anyone else concerned with the sudden open lines between North and South Korea for the (apparent) sake of the upcoming winter Olympic games? I've been listening to the information coming through NPR and although I have no specific thing to point to as a "smoking gun" for my skepticism, I can't...

    questions on bullet angle and ricohet

    509 inches over 43,200 inches is 1.1%, so not a huge arc despite "shooting" 42+ feet high. I'd say it's coming in fairly flat. assuming no wind pushing it strangely anyway. Ricochet will depend on what it hits and how. It will also depend on how much energy it has at the point of impact as...
