    Ever watch the movie Mr. Deeds from 2002 (that hurts saying the year)

    Well, I knew I wanted to fly helicopters before I could form intelligible sentences, and I somehow made that happen, at least for a while. But my health had other plans and at the moment I’m unable to hold a medical certificate, so short answer is no, my childhood dream job doesn’t support jack...

    State of the Industry

    The only reasons I enjoy going to a match as a spectator rather than a competitor are when: a) I’m totally new and know nothing about the particular discipline the match is about and I want to learn more, 2) I’m too poor to shoot the match/my gear isn’t ready/some other “road block” exists...

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    EVERY time I go to their website and select “in stock,” it tells me powders are out of stock when I select what size jug I want. WTF is the trick? They say in stock when it lists them all, but click on one and then choose your jug size and tell me what it says. They have BL-C(2) and 2520 like...

    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    Ah, I hadn’t considered that as I’m loading it purely for a bolt gun. At least in .223c I’m primarily reserving my N133 and H335 for my ARs.

    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    I’m mildly surprised to hear that based on what VV’s own load data shows, at least from a velocity standpoint. Powder prices being what they are, I’m accepting of a somewhat lower velocity for a more reasonable price, and I got a good deal on the N540 I’m sitting on, but we’ll see how my rifle...

    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    It’s supposed to be good stuff according to VV’s load data. I’m sitting on 8lbs of it myself but it’ll be awhile before I’m loading anything as we just moved. Hoping it works well, but tagging in for comments.

    The cost of shooting just in components. Thought for the day!

    Holy crap, but still producing 0.5MOA groups per the etched info. That’s nuts!

    cz 600 after market stock

    That thing looks like it has more sharp edges/corners than a friggin’ Lego block… How’s it actually feel??

    Accurate AA2520 Unpopular?

    I’ve got about 12lbs of N135 as well. Not a huge amount, but enough to tide me over for a while considering most of what I’m doing is rimfire these days. I may reserve that for heavier .223 loads but we’ll see. I’ve got lots of load development ahead to find out what rifles like what load, so I...

    Accurate AA2520 Unpopular?

    I recently got a pound of 2520 with a mixed lot of other powders to try. I hear it’s great in the Grendel, one of the main reasons I wanted it. Frankly, a lot of the powders I have are considered temp sensitive compared to more modern offerings, but they’re readily available and more reasonably...

    big surprise from DOJ

    “We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.” Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I’ll gladly trade you a factory single stage for your two stage lol. Big two stage fan here, and I have one with a factory single and just got one with a Midas. I’m hoping they release an updated Midas soon so I can run them on both!

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Yep! Still have it and still grabbing brass and projectiles for it when I can as well lol. I’ve heard the N133 should be a decent fit for it, which is part of why I picked up the N133 in the first place. But I’ll probably shoot .223 at a 5:1 ratio compared to the 6.5G for a few different...

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Lucky me, I’ve stumbled upon decent deals in several VV powders, including N133, N135, and N540. Most of my shooting for the foreseeable future will be in various loadings of .223, so I’m in a decent spot. Always looking to add more when I can though lol.

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Alliant’s prices are out of control absurd. I want to try several of their powders, but won’t bother unless they approach reasonable prices again. I don’t want to find a powder/load my guns love and not be able to find or afford it. 🤷‍♂️

    6.5 Grendel

    Yep, most folks seem to use Starline now that Lapua stopped production. I’m not yet reloading 6.5G but hope to be soon (we just moved and it’ll be a few months yet), and I’m running Hornady only because a) I have a few hundred rounds of factory stuff left to shoot which will add to b) the ~500...

    Lapua .223 Brass Broke in Half

    LOL, joins today, makes two posts, one of which is just “Lol” and the other is patently false. I hope that company banner in your avatar isn’t yours, because you may struggle a bit to peddle your wares here with a start like that. :LOL:

    Was this a dumb trade Bushnell 3-21 Horus reticle for a Bushnell LRTSi 4.5-18

    IMO, no. I’d consider it a lateral move rather than an up/down, though I probably would have done the same as I’m not a big fan of H59 but I love the G2/G3/G4 reticles. If I want a slightly lighter rifle and don’t need quite as much elevation, the LRTS series is great for that. If weight...
