    Rifle Scopes Can the Vortex PST model scopes handle a Remi700P .300WinMag?

    Yes, this is true! I have mine mounted on a 20moa rail and I have a total of 48.5 moa of elevation left. This requires that I still must hold over at longer distances.

    Hunting & Fishing BB gun for Junior: tips and tricks?

    My dad bought me a Daisy BB gun when I was 6.....that was 41 years ago and, believe it or not, I still have that BB gun today. I bought one for my daughter when she was 6. She is 17 now and still has her Daisy. My son is turning 4 in a couple of months and, although I'm sure he would love a BB...

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady AMAX for hunting?

    I hunted whitetail with 168gr Amax this past deer season and killed 2 bucks with them. The first one was a heart shot and it completely erased his heart....I couldn't even identify anything as a piece of heart when I opened him up. He dropped right where he stood. The second one got hit in the...

    OCW testing FAIL

    Its sounds like you have several variables that you can address here. First, I agree with the above recommendations to stick with one brand of brass. I've been using Lapua brass for 3 different caliber rifles that I'm working with, including .308win, and have been very pleased with it. It costs...

    Where is all of the powder?

    Through lots of searching, I've lucked out and found plenty of powder and primers, but it's the bullets that I want that have been most difficult to come by. I have a decent stash right now, but I would certainly buy more if they were available. The shelves at my local store have been pretty...

    21st century shooting hand priming tool

    Just wanted to report back on my purchase of the 21st Century hand priming tool. After having primed about 800 cases since I got it, I am very pleased with this tool. It is easy to use, easy to adjust and has worked flawlessly for me. Before I purchased this tool, I was priming all of my cases...

    Brand new shooter.... Spend $500 on match ammo or $800 reloading equip and supplies??

    You will need a manual to look up the caliber and bullet you are shooting in order to determine which powders are appropriate. Sometimes load data can be found on powder and bullet manufacturer's websites, but you'll need a good manual anyway, so get that first. In fact, get more than one...

    Can't reach SH via Firefox

    I posted about this a few days ago and then I was able to resolve the problem by emptying my cache. However, it has happened again a few times since then and I have to go back and empty the cache again. It only happens when I go to snipershide and it seems like the cache fills back up again...

    Recommend me a new scale for less than $150

    I have the same scale as you....RCBS 750 and I know a couple of other guys who use that scale as well. They have always worked flawlessly for us. Perhaps RCBS would replace your scale if you called them and described the problem. If you are contemplating the purchase of a new scale anyway, maybe...

    Definitive Overpressure signs

    I don't have any load data specific to those Berger bullets, but Vihtavuori's info says max with 300gr Scenar and N570 is 92.4. It's pretty obvious that 93.9 isn't gonna get it in your gun, so get those bullets pulled right away. I get a little careless with certain things sometimes, but I'm...

    What an "F-up"

    I have found denatured alcohol to be an excellent all around solvent for black sticky messes.

    UPS can kiss my a$$!

    I have another UPS story with a happy ending. I placed an order with Midway on Tuesday morning and selected 2nd day UPS shipping because I needed the item quickly. Well, Midway screwed around and didn't even ship it until Thursday evening. At 9:13pm on Thursday, it was in Kansas City, MO....900...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting pig or coyote in eastern Texas?

    I live in far west Texas and we have plenty of free pig and coyote hunting out here. I also have lived in east Texas as well as central Texas and have friends and family who allow me to hunt on their places. Feral hogs are quite abundant in many parts of Texas. I'm not sure where you will be SW...

    UPS can kiss my a$$!

    Although I have received some badly damaged packages at times, I have no complaints about my local UPS driver. He also is a fellow shooter and will stop and chat if I'm at home. Whenever I've had a package that requires a signature, he keeps stopping by until he catches me at home. He has even...

    Hunting & Fishing One or maybe 2 rifles for SOUTHERN Africa

    I've had a couple of CZ Varmint rifles that were absolute tack drivers right out of the box. However, my most recent CZ rifle, .338LM HET, is going to require a trip to the smith to make it right. Still, 1,200 bucks for a Safari Magnum seems like a steal! I've never had an opportunity to play...

    Brass sorting

    Yes, it's pretty easy to come by at my local range. We have Border Patrol agents using the range and they leave lots of brass. I went out there with a friend a couple weeks ago and we picked up close to 600 between us. We picked it up until we couldn't find anymore.....went back a few days later...

    Hunting & Fishing One or maybe 2 rifles for SOUTHERN Africa

    If I was going to live in Africa for 2+ years, I would be looking at the CZ Safari Magnums. In fact, I'm not even moving to Africa, but I still want one! Check 'em out at CZ-USA -> Product Categories
