    Re: Nightforce Question I have the 5.5-22X56 with a Badger 20moa base and Nightforce ultra light med rings on a rem 700 BDL LA. I see no disadvantage to the bigger bell and will take the extra light gathering at dawn. Works for me anyway...

    What brass manufacturer for 7mmRM?

    Re: What brass manufacturer for 7mmRM? I use Federal and Winchester both and have noticed that both give consistant shots, but the winchester goes at least two more rounds before I retire them. Just keep an eye on your brass and some records and in time you will a pattern unfold...

    Best Dies for 45acp

    Re: Best Dies for 45acp +1 one on the lee factory crimp (LFC) for autos it's a must I have shot lots through my glocks and 1911's without issue. Paying attention to detail is the key to reloading for semi-auto's.
