    I Gotta Stay Off the Kid's Facebook Before I Have a Stroke

    I'm with Maggot on this: as parents we all do the best we can with what we've got. My two sons are home for the holidays (26 & 22) and after a day of picking up after them I mention " I won't charge you guys extra if you put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher..." The oldest one retorts "Here...

    Crime does not pay

    That is about the funniest video and commentary I've seen and heard for a while. What a little bitch.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold lrp 8.5-25 vs pst gen 2 5-25

    I just put a VX3i LRP on my new 6.5 Creedmoor; super nice glass, but I'm a dope and put 20 moa base under it so POI is about 2 feet high from POA at 100 yds with the elevation bottomed out. Email from MIdway says my 0 moa base has been shipped....

    Rifle Scopes Mixing MRAD and MOA scopes in collection

    I don't know if you're nuts for mixing milrad with moa, but you may find yourself doping one for another. I have nothing but mil/mil scopes and turrets; just keeps it simple for my simple mind. The other day I was spotting for a guy at the range; he was all moa, and I'm calling adjustments in...

    Annealing: Salt Bath vs Flame/Torch method

    I'd never heard of the salt bath method- very interesting; seems like if you were to follow the method that Horns8491 provides the link for, a pair of pliers would work for every size case you might have rather than building the case holder described. With a 5-6 second 'swish' through the salt...

    Training Courses Crosswinds Precision

    Just stumbled upon these guys while doing my typical early morning web-surfing. Anybody take a class from them? Nice website, reasonably priced, and really close for me.

    Rifle Scopes Should even consider using a two piece mount?

    Picked up a new rifle, Savage Model 16 Bolt Action in 6.5 Creed, and now it's time to mount some glass. I have two other precision rifles, Remington MilSPec 5R and a home grown AR15. I installed a single piece 20moa base for 5R and NF Unimount (20moa) on the AR. While the Savage isn't listed...

    Ready to start loading

    I suggest starting with a good single stage. If you've never reloaded, there are a ton of things that go on with a progressive that may keep you deep in the learning curve. A single stage allows you to get a feel for what the processes are, and that learning curve will be short and relatively...

    Goodell: Kneeling is Killing the NFL

    Goddell, all the players and anyone else in the NFL can kiss my older white guy conservative, heterosexual, tax-paying, working, voting, and television add watching ass. Lifes a bitch when you are the head of multi-billion dollar league and placate to a bunch oppressed mulit-millionaires...

    Help with beginner precision reloading

    There's always a lot of fuss about reloading. Go with what you have and if it works out, thats fine. After a while you may change your mind. That's fine too.For under about 40 bucks you can get a Forster FL die; others can run you twice that plus. Load. Shoot. Repeat as needed or more...

    Do it all hunting rifle?

    As a 5R owner, I couldn't agree more; you'd'd be dawg tired by the end of hunting day humping it hither and yon. I'm actually looking for a hunting rifle as well; so far the Savage Weather Warrior in 6.5 Creed is at the top of the list. Thinking of topping it with one of the new Leupold Vx3i...

    Nosler RDF 140, Reloder 26, Tikka T3x TAC A1 6.5 Creedmoor

    You mentioned you've just started into handloading but it sounds to me you've taken to it. You should consider some sort of bullet seating gauge; it's the only way to know where your bullet is with respect to the lands. Here's one worth looking at...

    Photos Photo Bucket Work Around

    I know a lot of guys here use photobucket to post pics: this work work around was posted on another forum I frequent, handloadersbench.com: Apparently Google Chrome and Foxfire have found a way to access the photos that Photobucket.com does not now allow you to post to 3rd party sites anymore...

    Everyone knows you can't load precision ammo on a progressive press

    Very impressive groups. I'd like to get my 20" WOA to group like those with my single stage! Good work.

    Why loaded rounds vary with base to ojive?

    Along the same lines as what Juggerxxx is suggesting, are all of your case as the same (trim to) length? Do you have a case comparator to measure shoulder bump ( or non-bump)? If all your bullets spec the same, it would seem your variations point to the cases. I've never used a micro...

    My theory on neck tension. Am I way off base?

    I've pondered the neck tension/ turning thing for some time, and basically came to this same conclusion. Nothing wrong with a ragged hole at 100 yards, but that distant clang is where it's at for me; don't need to turn necks for that....
