    Cataract surgery

    Re: Cataract surgery I spend just about everyday sticking needles into peoples eyeballs for a living. Cataracts are a normal aging change that fortunately can be fixed rather easily today. 30 years ago people would go blind from cataracts and or glaucoma. No need for that today. I would...

    Wood stock

    Re: Wood stock I love wood stocks, always have and always will. One issue that has not been addressed is the grain of the wood and the shearing effects that recoil will have when attempting to build a "tactical" or target type stock. Look at the wrist of an "A" series McMillan stock, the...

    Pocket Uniforming or Flash Hole?

    Re: Pocket Uniforming or Flash Hole? These THREE steps (inside & outside flash hole & PP uniforming) are very useful when you get down into the sub MOA area of loading. Above or around MOA you probably won't see it except for an occasional WTF?!? shot. Personally when I was testing what...

    Rifle Scopes Premier Vs USO

    Re: Premier Vs USO I always hesitate to get involved in a "scope thread" as it could be too readily apparent that I am biased. However, in speaking of purely technical terms I always get a laugh about folks that talk about one scope having "better glass" which is usually conjoined with the...

    Re: The affects of adding weight to my rifle? The net affect of adding weight to your rifle is.... ... wait for it... The gun will be heavier WHERE you put the weight will affect the balance of the rifle. Adding weight will have an effect on recoil simply because it takes more energy to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Accurate reloading for 1911????

    Re: Accurate reloading for 1911???? The shooter is the weakest link in the accuracy triangle, ALWAYS. Especially in a pistol. I've been running 5.0 gr of Win 231 for years under everything from 185's, 200's and 230's. Jacketed and cast, it does the job every time. Pistols in general do...

    Lee or RCBS primer tool

    Re: Lee or RCBS primer tool I've used the Lee for years and upgraded to the "XR" version recently to handle the FGMM primer trays. The lee's do take a proprietary shell holder but for $3 it's a small price to pay for the ease of use. I did so after seeing the RCBS tool. The biggest down...

    43gr of varget and 178 amax too hot?

    Re: 43gr of varget and 178 amax too hot? Not the primers. Excessive shoulder bump. The firing pin is shoving the case forward (possibly sticking the boolet into the lands) and the resulting "boom" is pushing the primer back (gas flow) and then the case follows reseating the primer...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW on campus.

    Re: CCW on campus. Let me see if I understand this correctly? The SCHOOL has a rule against CCW. OK. If I can lawfully carry every where else and suddenly I need a gun to stay a live in a given situation while on campus the possible results are Alive to be arrested for Trespassing...

    My collection of .22LR dress up kits

    Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits I for one think this is cooler than sh!t. My 14 y/o is a$$ over heels about airsoft and "sniper rifles" in particular. His buddy walked in the house with an AICS AW with an orange tip (I guess that call it the "L96"). I got to play with the thing...
