    I remove mine also and use the Sinclair mandrel.

    OK don't laugh but what is so bad about Lee powder dippers?

    If you want a good digital scale and don't want to spend the huge bucks at first get a Gem Pro 250. That being said the A&D FX-120i with auto throw is amazing and will drop a complete charge in less than 5 seconds.

    Cold & Hot Load

    I wouldn't call 13 fps that significant. If it's shooting well without pressure role on.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Defensive Bullet Selection

    It's dead in the military because 9mm is cheaper to shoot and has less recoil. That doesn't mean that 9mm is more effective. People conceal carry 45s every day. I carry a XD MOD 2 45 sub compact all the time. Its just as easy for me to carry as my glock 26.

    Thanks to Mike and Frank (Everyday sniper podcast)

    I have made it through the first 25 so far. Only real issue that I have with them is that it has left me wanting more guns and gear. I did place my first ever order from mile high the other day. My new Tab Gear mat should be here tomorrow. Frank and Mike are WINNING with these Pod Cast! I have...

    NEW - Atlas CAL (Cant and Loc) Bipod - PRE-ORDER (added 12.14)

    The wider stance is actually a huge plus in my book. It seems like this Atlas is much more stable than the B10 model I had. I guess its all just personal preference.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Here is a pic of a second bench I put together the other day. I had the lumber laying around so I figures this would be perfect for case prep. It also gets the case prep stuff off of my main bench and frees up more room for the A&D FX-120i with auto throw on my main bench. It's working great so...

    Money Better Spent on Time or Gear?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a custom. I'm sure I will have a custom one day but I will tell you my Tikka will hang with just about any custom out there. Two of my shooting buddies have multiple 5k plus rifles. While they are bad ass they don't shoot any better than my Tikka. Get the Tikka and...
