    Salt Bath annealing - first impressions

    Ok, so I annealed my first batch of cases today using the salt bath and I deem it a success. Successful in that they look like the Lapua brass did when it came from the factory and successful that I didn't scald myself or even create a huge mess. So I guess that qualifies me as an expert.;) A...

    Salt bath annealing question: covering for work surface?

    I have the old cookie sheet that I stole from my wife (bought her a new one) but I figured I'd make a bigger mess than it would contain. The foil sounds like the perfect cover for a little larger area of the bench. Just what I was looking for without having to buy more stuff to make this work...

    Salt bath annealing question: covering for work surface?

    Has anyone found a good non-flammable cover for their work surface? My bench top is wood and I'm trying to keep the inevitable salt mess from splattering all over it. A plastic sheet doesn't seem like a good idea given the temperature of the salts.

    Vortex Razor HD 4000 Rangefinder

    According to the specs on EuroOptics website the divergence is 2 mils wide X 0.1 mils tall. This one definitely has my interest. Plus it has a 1/4x20 tripod adapter so you don't have to buy a separate one. I am a fan of Leica products but the lack of a built in adapter is just ridiculous.

    Vortex Razor HD 4000 Rangefinder

    Did you get readings at 1080 or 1980 or both? Not sure if one is a typo.

    Electronic Ear Pro

    The Otto noizebarriers were game changers for me. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Able to converse at the range or at a match and still have adequate hearing protection. Also worked very well on a duck hunt.

    RRS HC-PRO

    The HC-PRO looks like the way to go to convert my Harris BRM-S bipod to work on either a pic rail or ARCA. If you have used one please let me know. I'm looking to add a rail to my T3X TAC A1 handguard.

    PRS Talk Suppressor or Muzzle Brake?

    I've had my Omega for about 7 months now and I much prefer using it with the two rifles that have threaded barrels. I've shot 3 matches this year and shot through a couple of pipes and with the suppressor the concussion is not a factor at all. In fact the reduction in concussion is one benefit...

    Tripod height

    Yes, I believe that's the one we were using. It worked well and was plenty tall for our use. The guy that owned the tripod said that Innorel also has one that's got a little larger diameter tubes and I was able to find that one on Amazon. He seemed pretty certain that the Innorel came out of...

    Ball head vs Geared tripod head for spotter

    Looking for some user's experiences as I'm deciding which way to go. I appreciate hearing what has worked for you. Does the ball head or the geared head have any distinct advantages other than the precision of the geared head? Any drawbacks?

    Belt PRS Mag Holder

    This from Triad Tactical works perfectly with a small foam blocker in the bottom. I use it for my 10 round Tikka T3X mag in comps. https://triadtactical.com/triad-open-top-magazine-pouch/ I wanted the open top design.

    Tripod height

    Well I pretty much answered my own question. I shot a local match this weekend and had a chance to use a couple of tripod setups. There was another guy who is a little taller than I am and he recently bought a tripod. He had binocs on it, and for us to use them comfortably without having to...

    PVA Tripod - 1st impressions

    Very timely that this thread popped back to the top. I was about to ask about the most stable way to attach the Anvil 30 to the PVA Comp 40 tripod. I think that I've just about settled that is the combo I'll go with. Thanks to those that posted pics and descriptions. Now if the Anvil 30 and...

    Creekside Taylorsville, Georgia Monthly PRS Matches

    Ha Ha. That's me on the pipe in the last photo. What you don't see is the 2 or 3 attempts is took me to get up on that blasted pipe. It must have been hilarious to watch me struggle. I guarantee my heart rate was up by the time I got up there but at least I managed to make a few hits on the...

    Tripod height

    I'd like to hear others thoughts on the height of their tripod that is appropriate for observation uses. Primarily for use with a spotting scope from a standing position. I'm about 6' tall and I've noticed that some of the popular tripods, for example the Feisol 3372, list a max height of 58"...

    Creekside Taylorsville, Georgia Monthly PRS Matches

    I was one of the new shooters and fortunate enough to be in Chris' squad (so long as I don't catch that nasty stuff he was hacking). I had a chance to learn a lot from watching him and didn't do too badly myself. Lot's of opportunities to work on different positions which is what I need...
