    Are Federal 308 Cases Too Soft For Reloading

    I have used 308 fgmm cases for reloading. Almost all end up with ejector marks. I stopped trying to use them because of this.

    Kyle Rittenhouse arrested for murder

    I understand your view and stance. Not going to argue. This young man made his choice and will have to face the consequences for it. I have nothing but respect and support for him. It’s unbelievable to me though, that all of a sudden the law matters and applies to him. How many of these...

    Kyle Rittenhouse arrested for murder

    At what point is our rights and freedom worth fighting for. I know they have been restricted out the ass in the 33 years I’ve been alive. What will we have in another 30 going at this pace? I wanted my children to grow and be proud to be a fucking American! The way I did. Not worrying about...

    Kenosha shooting...two dead.

    I honestly hate to see it coming to this. However law enforcement has had their hands tied. They have to set there and watch these fucking piss ants burn, loot and destroy? If they cannot stop it who will? Are the people expected to set and watch thugs destroy their cities, homes, businesses...

    Union Bitching/Supporting Thread

    The two organizations are much the same in my eyes. Started as a legitimate idea. Sold the idea to people who believed in the cause. Then got too big, too powerful and forgot about the real reason they became.

    First I fill the freezer, and get my daughters and wife tagged out. Then if there’s time I will spend a couple days hunting for antlers.

    Rifles for daughters

    Actually the oldest said she would just rather get a laminate stock for her rifle and keep everything else the way it is. I like the caliber especially for deer.

    Rifles for daughters

    started both my older girls on a .22 cricket with iron sights. They both deer, turkey, waterfowl and squirrel hunt. Trying to get them started bow hunting now. Working their way up in draw weight. Needing to move the middle up to a larger caliber, and want to get them something nicer than...

    Rifles for daughters

    Looking to upgrade my daughters to better rifles. The oldest 13, currently has a ruger American in 7mm-08. I won it in a raffle and gave to her for whitetail hunting. The middle 11, shoots a savage axis in .223. My oldest likes her rifle and caliber, but I would like to get her a nicer rifle...

    Does your LGS suck?

    All the local shops around here are either filled with low end cheap crap, or more hunting/archery oriented.

    I am sure it’s been asked numerous times. I did search. I have a cheap plate carrier from amazon, I bought off a buddy at work for $30. With the intentions of modifying it to use for turkey hunting. After all the recent incidents in the world I have...

    Do I need a plate carrier/Armour.....?

    I have heard numerous warnings about the steel plates sending shrapnel into thighs, neck even with spall coating? Are ceramic plates the same with no expiration. I assume the 5 year shelf life is a liability deal from the mfg?

    Do I need a plate carrier/Armour.....?

    I have no real requirements outside of insurance etc. the main reason I’m hesitant to purchase. If shtf I’m sure it would be a solid investment but if not, it’s a bunch Of money tied up in something unused.

    I think I have the carbine/pistol covered. No nods or helmet. Do have a cheap gen 1 or 2 Nv scope. In decent shape, not super fitness freak but more of grew on the farm busting ass everyday in shape. Already have a few first aid kits set up, one in each vehicle, one in the house and one in my...

    How do you guys budget for guns & gear?

    I wonder the same thing. Pretty much same situation, 3 children, wife stays at home with the youngest for now. It takes me a couple months to save up for anything more than $4-500
