    Reload precision rifle on Dillon 650?

    I just got my monthly The Blue Press, and the Dillon 650 is no longer offered in this catelog. In it's place is the new Dillon 750. I wonder why. I sold my Dillon 650 a few years ago after I got fed up with rebuilding the primer feed several times (though parts were supplied free by Dillon).

    Rifle Scopes MOA or MRAD for F-Class?

    If you are shooting paper targets at known distances, then it doesn't matter, MOA or Mil. There is a long-standing momentum of shooting MOA in hunting and paper target competition, that's all.

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Famous Grouse is the most popular selling Scotch in Scotland. It's a blend. When I know I will have more than one Scotch drinks in an evening, I will first have an Aberlour. All drinks after, I go to Famous Grouse. Your taste buds get a bit overwhelmed with the first drink, so why waste the...

    Adventures in Air Travel with a Rifle

    I got a PM asking what is needed to get firearms back into the US when travelling abroad. Others may need to know this, so here is my reply: "Bringing your firearms back to the US requires a CBP Form 4457, CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION FOR PERSONAL EFFECTS TAKEN ABROAD, issued by US Customs and...

    Adventures in Air Travel with a Rifle

    I've flown to Italy and Australia with multiple pistols to shoot in the World Masters Games, which means bringing them back to the USA. Lots of permits to get, read the airline's rules, and plan on being polite to the counter people and customs folks. Small problems can then be worked out...

    Movie Theater I watched John Wick 3, my thoughts, mild spoilers

    I too liked 1 and 2 better than JW 3. The Arab leader over the Table was lame. The sword fight sequence near the end had one spot where John Wick had his back turned to a guy with a sword in his hand and it could have ended there, but didn't. This didn't live up to the great choreography in...

    Would you do this in a firearms class?

    I was in a pistol class where we all went through a live fire shoot house, where you had non-threat and threat human life size photo targets. I was amazed to see that we had a woman in the class who was upset afterwords at having to shoot at a pic of a person. So there is a point in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Show me your Gerber Mk II

    I got my Gerber Mk II at the Ft. Rucker PX while I was in flight school in 1968, the second year of the Mk II manufacture. I thought it looked cool and also thought it would make a good extraction tool to get out of a crashed Huey. I carried it on my web belt, with my issue 1911A1, for my...
