    30-06 reloading

    I'm using 58 grains under a 175 LRX and getting 2960 out of a 22" barrel. Primers are starting to flatten but not bad and the brass is ejecting fine with no marks.

    30-06 reloading

    Winchester Staball is a great powder for the 30-06 and its plentiful and relatively cheap.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 6.5 CM hunting rifle

    I have several of the Vortex LHT 4.5-22 scopes on hunting rifles. They have been great for me. The company that I used to guide for uses them on their loaner rifles. We had no problems with them.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex LHT 4.5-22x50

    I have had both. I prefer the LHT as the AMG really didn't offer anything more for my purposes. I have several of the LHT scopes and use them on my loaner rifles for hunters and they have been great.

    I think I need one. Looks like it checks a lot of the boxes for a versatile 5.56 can.

    Question for Vortex Fury HD 5000 Owners

    I have both the standard HD 5000's and the HD 500 with Applied Ballistics. They have been great for me and what I use them for which is mostly hunting and multi-gun competition. The glass is good enough to get a look at deer and elk in the brush at 1k yards. I'm not sure I could read the...

    I have not had any issues with them in 6.5 Cr. The max velocity that I'm getting is about 2800. I actually prefer them to the ELDX for hunting.

    Rifle Scopes Suggestions for lightweight FFP MRAD scope; PA GLx

    I have a hand full of the LHT 4.5-22 FFP optics on rifles that I loan out to clients. The only one that I have sent back is one that a client fell off of a horse while wearing durring an elk hunt. Considering that they both landed on a large rock and the client went to the ER with a broken...

    I hunt mule deer and elk with a .280 AI. The thing is a hammer. I'm pushing a 162 gr out of a 24" barrel at 3043 FPS. I can't recommend it enough.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    A department that I do a lot of work for tested numerous rounds in various media and barriers. The TAC XP was the most consistent through all of them. IInteresting enough, it showed little deflection through windshield glass.
