    H4350 in stock anywhere???

    Re: H4350 in stock anywhere??? Ridiculous isn't it? All these idiots running out and buying everything and for what? To let it sit on the shelf is all. It's a shame the people that actually use it can't get it.

    Best reloading manual

    Re: Best reloading manual You can't have only one. I recommend you get at least 2 if not 3. You need to get info from everywhere you can before you start to work up a load. I have Lee and Lyman. I also look at other members recipes and check the bullet manufacturers site or call them if I...

    First ladder test prep.

    Re: First ladder test prep. I would do it in .5 increments at 100yds through the chronograph. Then find my most accurate round that meets the velocity I want. If I get .3" groups at 2400fps and .5" groups at 2600fps with no pressure signs I will go with the faster round for long range...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 10x42 MRAD!!!!

    Re: SWFA SS 10x42 MRAD!!!! Good choice of glass. I assume you got the rear focus? I went with the rear focus myself. Fixed magnification, clear, good light, great eye relief, great tracking, clear and positive adjustments, return to zero is awesome and it's a good looking scope too.

    Re: Ammo price increases after all of this? If you could keep all the retards from running out and buying every box available we wouldn't have this problem. Hell, I can't even find 115gn fmj projectiles so I can reload some 9mm. Nor can I find 178gn SMK to reload for my .308 It's not the govt...
