    Gunsmithing Best torque wrench on a budget!

    Re: Best torque wrench on a budget! I went with the Leupold MkIV T-handle torque wrench (65 in-lb only) from MidwayUSA. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=782041 It cost me $89 but I feel it's worth it ... not sure if it meets your budget but it's a great tool.

    Question about match equipment.....Help please!

    Re: Question about match equipment.....Help please! From my experience each match is a little different ... opinions on this topic will vary from shooter to shooter. Some guys are minimalists with how much they carry and some guys carry everything conceivable. I try to make sure I can cover...

    Advice on developing a load?

    Re: Advice on developing a load? Train like you fight ... or ... shoot like you'll hunt. Emulating the conditions you'll actually use the load in can't be a bad idea. I rarely use a sandbag & bench ... mostly because I'll never use them in the field. Of course, I may not use a bipod on a...

    Gunsmithing Magazine conversion kits.

    Re: Magazine conversion kits. The easiest for the Rem 700 is the HS Precision Bottom Metal & detachable mags -- especially if you're running an HS stock. You get new bottom metal & either 5 or 10 round mags and they drop right in (very little modification required, if any). I've had mine for...

    Re: why not hunt with 175 smk's Reference The SH Hunting Forum ... replace "175SMK" with "168SMK" and you have the identical dicussion going on. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2331137#Post2331137

    Hunting & Fishing hunting with sierra match king

    Re: hunting with sierra match king 168SMK's aren't true hunting bullets ... although you can obviously take down game with them. Barnes makes a dedicated 168gr hunting bullet that's pretty good: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=967720 It's surprising how...

    Re: Las Vegas Precision Tactical Rifle Match 2/5/11 Good on ya for steppin' up and running a match @DSRPC, Randall. I'm sure Kurt & Werner really appreciate it! I wish I could be there for it ... but 500 miles is a little far for a 60 round club match! Good luck. Bear

    Movie Theater True Grit

    Re: True Grit Jedi - I definitely I agree with you here ... Open Range was a GREAT flick and certainly one of Duvall's best performances. True Grit was great -- I just saw it tonight ... definitely worth the money. I love the fact that Westerns continue to be made on the big screen...

    Powder for 45ACP

    Re: Powder for 45ACP I've been shooting Alliant Green Dot for years with a lot of success and not a single incident. 5.1 grains of Alliant Green Dot 230 FMJ Win Lg Pistol Primer Seated to 1.250" This combo should give you about 830 FPS out of a 5" barrel. I worked all the way up to 5.7...

    Favorite Loads for 45 ACP?

    Re: Favorite Loads for 45 ACP? 5.1 grains of Alliant Green Dot 230 FMJ Win Lg Pistol Primer Seated to 1.250" Should give you about 830 FPS out of a 5" barrel. You can giv'er 5.7 grains of Green Dot for ~900fps. Gotta love the 230FMJ! You don't need hollow points when you're runnin' .45s!

    Hunting & Fishing All around caliber

    Re: All around caliber Very interesting, but not surprising I guess, to see the good 'ol 30-06 so popular on this thread. I guess a century plus old cartridge will live on for many more years ... and rightfully so. You'd be hard pressed to find a more available, more capable all around...

    Advanced Marksmanship A simple sling/bipod method

    Re: A simple sling/bipod method Thanks for the post -- I'm always looking for ideas for a more stable shooting position ... it is extremely important for first round hits and this is another great technique to throw in the tool box.
