    Powder recommendations for 308 win

    Re: Powder recommendations for 308 win "long Range Groups "??? What is YOUR version of long range ? If it's past 600 yds then 1st lose the 168 in the AR since you have just a 24" barrel. Varget & 175 or 178, Yes. Maybe even PP2K MR but with a heavy bullet.

    Fieldcraft Food bars for long use

    Re: Food bars for long use Look up Mainstay as a "long-term" food. Beats the heck out of protein bars or energy bars. Don't know how long you could last on them ... have my whey protein powder for that !!! FWIW

    Re: 178 A-max load help. .308 BTW, I have over 20# of IMR 4895 that I use & I use only 178 0R 185 almost exclusively . Tried 155 and others and wasn't a happy camper. Now that is all I have in stock next to 168 AMAX for <600 match.

    Loading Flechettes? U.S. Military Surplus

    Re: Loading Flechettes? U.S. Military Surplus Not worth the effort. They don't expand and usually / unless you hit the CNS, the target doesn't know it is hit. Now if you could make them of lead wire that might expand on positive contact ???

    Sidearms & Scatterguns US Made Rescue Knife?

    Re: US Made Rescue Knife? Spyderco has Made in USA & also made in Japan. I'd prefer Japan over China. Check out Cutleryshoppe.com and you can see what was made where. Also, Kershaw has a Rescue that runs about $59 retail ... I "think" it's USA made.

    Rifle Scopes Does anyone make a camo cover for a diascope?

    Re: Does anyone make a camo cover for a diascope? Give Stu a call at RedTac, He made a scope cover for my Kowa 82 and while it isn't form fitting it serves it's purpose well. Mine is more like a rifle scope cover only larger & longer.
