    what free Hornady bullet to pick

    Re: what free Hornady bullet to pick The backlog is a good thought and I'm eager to do some pistol work soon. Think I will go with the .308's and sell them like suggested. By the time it sounds like I get them I will have my 51 posts too. Thanks for the thoughts guys.

    what free Hornady bullet to pick

    Finally received my Hornady Lock n Load and am about to turn in my form for 1000 free bullets. I only shoot 9mm, .223, and .308 and I have 1k .223 on deck that leaves me with the 9 and .308. Choices they offer are the .308 150 GR SP and GR FMJBT. The end goal is to start pushing my hunting...

    Primers, ahhhhhhh!

    Re: Primers, ahhhhhhh! Good to see friendly folks. I was in the same boat, plenty of nice shiny new equipment and no primers. A guy I talk to at work said he had some and tossed me a few thousand, refused pay, just said to replace them when I can. Now I need someone who has some powder...

    Slam fire and primers

    Re: Slam fire and primers Ok Graham, here comes the reloading newb question...how do you return the shoulder to spec? Is that a simple matter of setting up the FL die properly or is there something I don't otherwise know going on with that? From what I read slam fires occured as a result of...

    Slam fire and primers

    Tired of paying .45 a round for my AR so I have been setting up to reload and been doing my homework. That said, the whole slam fire issue on autoloaders has me a little worried. I contacted Young manufacturing (who made my AR's bolt) and they said with .223 AR's I shouldn't worry as long as...

    Re: Vibratory case cleaner bit the dust - need adv +1 Harbor freights, its cheap so no tears when it finally dies, not to mention with all the lead we are adding to the system who cares about the lead China manufacturing has managed to get into it.

    Amazing service from gun industry

    Re: Amazing service from gun industry I have been recently setting up to reload, not only are the manufacturers doing great; but, I'm amazed at the service of the vendors as well. You don't get that kind of service from your cell phone company's India call center.

    Rifle Scopes Badger scope ring with Sightron scope question

    Re: Badger scope ring with Sightron scope question Thanks Bob, That was enough to get me thinking in a new direction (ie about measurment B instead of A). Since the 50mm is forthcoming I can't do the silly puddy thing. Instead I took the difference between the tube diameter and the scope...

    Rifle Scopes Red Dot for AR10 308 TAC, need advice

    Re: Red Dot for AR10 308 TAC, need advice I run an Aimshot holo on my AR, runs about $130 and is plenty sturdy...figure my co-worker who is an Iraq veteren sniper and owns 6 of them on his AR's and Mini 14's probably knows what's up. Downside is they use LR44's which is no big deal as they...

    Rifle Scopes Badger scope ring with Sightron scope question

    Re: Badger scope ring with Sightron scope question Its a SPS varmint if that helps out more. The plan is to get the lowest rings possible for the 50mm and then use the ring reducer to work with the 42mm's 1" tube so that I only need one set of rings.

    Rifle Scopes Badger scope ring with Sightron scope question

    Pardon my newbness, spent many years behind pistols, shotguns, and AR's; however, never dealt with bolt actions or long range shooting until now and am rapidly finding out there is much for me to learn in the ways of the long gun. So for my first post on the Sniper's Hide... I recently picked...
