    Typical number of rounds you shoot on range day

    I usually do between 50-150. Range i go to only has 100 and 200 yard ranges though. So usually do 25-50 rounds at 100 yards and then if the 200 yard isnt being used go there and shoot another 30-50. Sometimes more if i feel like it. Theres been times ive only shot 20 rounds and others where ive...

    Suppressors When its over?

    I dont quite follow your thought process. You want to wait and hope things get better rather than worse? Just so you potentially have a shorter wait time from submitting paperwork to receiving item? I would much rather submit it now and have it in 9-12 months rather than waiting 12-24 months...

    Suppressors Osprey 45 & Glock 19 FTF & FTE

    hve you tried different ammo? I know my sig p226 and osprey45 didnt like some of my ammo. It would stovepipe, FTE, and other things even with supersonic 115gr stuff. Tried some different loads (reloads mind you) and using a 147gr it took a couple tries to find a load that it really liked and...

    starting to reload .308 help

    I have to agree with roggom. Except on the bullet cost :) if you wait and shop around you can get good deals. Powder Valley has 175gr bullets (listed as maj. manufacturer....they are SMK's) for ~.23 cents each. 116 (plus shipping) for 500 of them. I have used these and also the ones listed as...

    2007-2013 Toyota Tacoma?? Looking for actual mileage one could expect.

    I think you have a pretty good idea already but I'll add mine. 2011 tacoma 4x4 "offroad" access cab, all stock. Has a good ~250 pounds in the back at all time. Highway driving from WA to San Diego i averaged around 22-23 while keeping it pretty much around 70. Normal city with a bit of...

    12 dead at Washington Navy Yard

    I cant speak for the building this event happened at but the other naval bases i have been to (and work at) the security is.....to put it lightly...a joke. Even from what i have heard from friends in the army and air force, security on their bases is no better. Only areas that are well protected...

    Bore Snake anyone?

    I use them in every caliber i have. i will say my 223/556 one doesnt work well and is hard to use in my AR. Its a super tight fit and hard to pull through. I rarely use the 223/556 one. I do,however, find the 22cal pistol one to work well in my AR instead. Its a much better fit and works fine...

    First Bolt $1200ish budget

    The 5r are nice guns. Upper range of your budget though. Do you need other things like a bipod, bags, scope rings, ect too or is that a different budget? I went with a savage 10fcp-k and am happy with it. I was torn between a 5r and the savage but am glad I went with the savage. Left me more...

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    Have you tried factory ammo? How does it compare? A box of FGMM could help you to know if its something on your end or the guns end. Have you tried different bullets? Some guns just dont care for some bullets and will shot poorly with one. Tried different powders? Again perhaps the gun...

    Suppressors Too Late For a Trust Owned Suppressor?

    No people are not using electronic forms and getting approved in weeks. I *think* for dealer to dealer it sped things up but not 100% sure. It also might speed up the first portion (check cashed) but i have not heard of anyone getting them faster. As for the trusts....as of right now nothing...

    Lost in the wide range of powders

    You can look through the load data section found here and figure out which powders are most common for the desired caliber. For 308 you cant really go wrong with varget or reloader 15. You can also browse the powder manufacturers websites as they all have load data. If you plan to load other...

    Any reloaders make their own practice rounds (dummy ammo)?

    I haven't made one to dry fire with. But pretty much any new bullet I use gets a dummy round made. Just take a non primered case and size it then set a bullet to correct depth. Then I can use it to function check. I do have to actual azoom snapcaps I use if I feel the need. Also use them when...

    Who has worked behind a gun counter? A few pointers before your next trip

    And that is what is hard about retail. You have to cater to your client. So that means one might be explaining the basics like safeties and double stack and then your very next client you could be talking about custom actions, nightforce scopes, and reloading theory. It's what truly makes retail...

    Who has worked behind a gun counter? A few pointers before your next trip

    Ya know, i treat the guys behind the counter with as much respect as i can. I do the same for all retail guys though. ive been there and done that and know how much flak you get over stupid crap from people. The main gun store i go to has had some pretty awesome guys and never had an issue there...

    Single Stage vs Progressive Reloading

    A single stage is cheap and would cost less than the caliber change for the 650xl. The 650 (IMO) is only really go for pistol rounds (9mm, 10mm, 40sw, 45acp, 44mag, ect) and the common rifle rounds (223 and 308) for plinking. You can do mods to get it to be accurate but at the cost i would...

    Hearing protection advice needed

    A 45 osprey and a 30cal can would work great :) But really I always double up. Normal foam plugs and some low profile mugs. The muffa are electronic but I've never used them that way

    Advanced Marksmanship when to stretch out to longer range shots?

    What are you shooting for exactly? Small groups? Just hitting the target? If you are shooting moa at a given range I would say you are fine to move out to the next range. You can be an amazing 100 yard shooter but that doesn't mean you will instantly be an amazing 500 yard shooter either. Have...
