    Moving from NY to Nevada, what kinda things should Iknow?

    Hey all, after living in this state for 25 years and starting to realize the cost of living, home ownership, property and state tax is INSANE on Long Island, also with gun laws getting just absurd, i've realized it's time for me to move elsewhere. A close friend of mine recently moved to Las...

    Having an issue holding groups using fired brass

    Hey all, been a while since i've posted here but i've come to a stand-still with my handloading and i knew this is the place to go. To make a long story short, i found the pet load for my current rig (Remington 700 AAC-SD in a B&C Light Tactical stock) a few months back. I was loading brand new...

    Maggie’s Sake anyone?

    Re: Sake anyone? I'm a huge fan of Taisetsu Ice Dome Sake, it was my first non-hot and still to this day remains my favorite. Very smooth, sweet but not overly-sweet like some plumb wines. Serve it chilled, room temp or warm is a little "eh" and takes away from the crispness. Only about $20...

    Gunsmithing Few light spots of rust in bore, am i screwed?

    Re: Few light spots of rust in bore, am i screwed? What's the deal with Flitz? It's available at my local place but i never really looked into it. I've noticed the copper fouling in my barrel builds up pretty fast (both of my remmy barrels) Would it be a good idea to use the bore paste to...

    Gunsmithing Few light spots of rust in bore, am i screwed?

    Hey all, sad news i noticed today. I haven't shot my rifles in about a month or so due to no time, being over worked and under-paid is a bitch. So i'm finally able to go tomorrow with a few friends, and decided to give the rifles a once-over. I usually never really clean my guns until I notice a...

    Hunting & Fishing Any bowhunters out there? Need some advice

    Hey guys, just looking for some insight on a few issues here and i figured this is the place to ask. This season i'm looking to get back into bowhunting since i was 16. My dad had been asking for a while so i'm ready to jump back in. He hooked me up with his Martin Magnum Bow, a dozen carbon...

I didn't do too bad, better than i expected but i did yakk up some of my dinner from 6 hours ago. Thats what the pause button's for! Got...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Welp i bit the bullet a week ago and ordered the Deluxe Kit from STM, and boy oh boy was it a good move! I'm extremely pleased with the results. The only issue is i'd like it if my primer pockets were a little cleaner, but they are far from still dirty...

    Anywhere I can buy a Knights SR-25 Barrel?

    Hey guys, i'm actually asking this on behalf of a close friend of mine. He picked up a Preban Knights Armament SR-25 and we're trying to work on a project for him. Basically he wants to make a shorter version of the SR-25 by having a gunsmith cut the barrel down, and adding a collapsing stock...

    Re: Shot my best groups ever today...have a question Macm11 - thanks for the kind words, those were shot by me. I do not use a lead-sled actually! I usually shoot sandbagged or off a bipod from the bench.

    My 1x fired brass still chambers easily??

    Re: My 1x fired brass still chambers easily?? Just the type of answer I was looking for, thank you man. Yeah i'm trying not to push my loads too high only because i don't shoot farther than 200 yards at the moment so i can get away with it. Looks like i have some ordering to do!

    My 1x fired brass still chambers easily??

    Hey all, little bit of conundrum here. So i shot all 200 cases of the new Lapua brass I ordered a few weeks ago finally and now it's time to reload the once fired brass. Here's the thing. If i take a once fired case and chamber it in the rifle, it goes in with absolutely no resistance. When i...

    Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input

    Re: Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input There are no clunks or rattles when i go to take off or go in reverse, so that's a good sign. Towing assist is off. I checked the tranny fluid right as i pulled up after a 40 minute drive from the range, fluid was the right color and perfect...

    Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input

    Re: Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input Oh it's most definitely a mechanical sound, not electronic. I just had my sister's boyfriend over her (turns out he's a mechanic, who knew?) We checked it in neutral, ran the engine, had it to about highway speed in neutral, nothing. Not a sound...

    Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input

    Re: Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input I hear it at highway speed around 55-65, but NOT in neutral. I don't see any unusual wear on the tires, but i'll check again. It shifts fine at high speeds, but i have noticed it to be a little sluggish on pick-up. It's always in over-drive, i...

    Issue with my Ram 1500, looking for input

    Hey guys, i noticed this a few days ago but up until now decided to let it slide thinking maybe i'm just being crazy. Here'e the situation: It's an '03 Ram 1500 2wd Reg cab work truck, v6 Magnum, little over 42,000 on it. Basically what i'm noticing is this weird pulsing sound when i'm up...
