    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    Never chrono'd it since I sent my chrono to heaven a couple months back. It is very accurate and reliable at 15 yds with my G41. If I get a change to chrono it this month I'll post results.

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    5.3gr Win 231 and done. W231 works in many different handgun loads (38 spcl, 40 S&W, etc) and works great in 45 ACP.

    Rifle Scopes After a year and a half my sr-8m is here

    My patience would have expired after about 1 month and I would have moved on to a different platform. Kudos to you and I hope it's worth the wait.

    Thoughts on this rifle for a "starter" rifle?

    Tactical Rifle Remington M40 for $4495?

    Let's just forget for a moment who built this. You can get this same rifle built to spec by GA Precision for $3.7K USMC M40A1 I'm not familiar with rifles built by Texas Brigade Armory but you can get one for even less from them. Sum up the cost of the components used in an M40 build and use...

    New shooter question. What do people do with their 700P stocks?

    Don't do anything with it yet. The stock you have works just fine for learning the fundamentals. Those stocks you just listed have much larger palm swells than the HS Precision stock that comes with the 700P. If it really bothers you to shoot, then save up for a pistol grip type chassis system...

    What rifles lie between a Rem 700 5R and a GAP Crusader?

    Check out RW Snyder Gunsmithing; he does good work. He has a "base custom rifle" option that is ~ $1600 for a barreled action (w/ trigger) only. Get that and drop it into an XLR element chassis and you have something for a little less than $2.5K. Don't forget to set aside another $1K for an optic.

    Torn between two rifles for my first "real" bolt gun

    Most gunsmiths recommend against truing unless you are going to replace the barrel. When they single point cut the receiver, the tenon threads are oversized and won't fit on the breach end threads unless they are recut; all of that labor is rather pointless on a factory barrel because it doesn't...

    .300 blackout rebuild

    Is it going to be an SBR? If it was me, I would go with this or something from Seekins: 300 BLK Upper, 12.5" Barrel

    Should I change my current build from 6.5cm to 260?

    I have shot both and they are both solid. I choose the creedmoor because in a pinch I can get factory ammo and I like that the case was built from the ground up as an efficient short action cartridge. I think that between 260, 6.5 CM, and 6.5x47 you can't loose. Through into a hat and pick (but...

    Re-barreling a 700 at home?

    Gunsmithing - How to Install a Short Chambered Barrel Presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA - YouTube Give it a shot and let us know how well it goes. Hope you don't turn that finish reamer too far or need a lathe to adjust the shank length to match the tenon.

    Best short action cartridge for long range precision shooting

    It's not possible to answer this question. You have to put a priority somewhere for us to guide you. Good barrel life and ammo availability would have me point you to a 308 shooting 175s/178s, but you're not going to get the best BC or range. Generally speaking, there is no free lunch. If you...

    Rifle Scopes Optic for semi auto 308; can a Nightforce F1 be beat?

    If you're military then you can get a really good discount with the Leupy Mk6 3-18 M5C2 Illum TMR. I think that it's price point was very near or slightly under what the mil price is for the NF F1. That makes the Leupy the clear winner for me (assuming money no object). Also, if weight isn't an...
