    Picatinny Versus Whatever

    The other attachment systems like Keymod and mlok provide the shooter with the ability to have a smooth and more comfortable handguard and to minimize weight. They do not seek to replace the picatinny rail - not yet, anyway. Used to be, we'd buy rail covers to create a more comfortable handguard...

    Hunting & Fishing Over run by bobcats

    I live in Sabinal (about 21 miles from Uvalde) and besides managing a 13,000 acre year-round hunting ranch, I do predator control for several ranches. I'll be happy to offer you some tips that work for me. PM me if you're interested and I'll shoot you my phone number. Our area has a VERY...

    Manners EH1 vs McMillan Game Scout Weight

    If McM drops the CF/Edge fill, that's going to be a real bummer for guys, like me, that like to build lighter weight rifles. Hope that's not correct or that they have a better option to replace it with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bullet Seating

    I've quit running my brass through SS media every time and only use it when the brass gets REALLY dirty. This keeps the carbon inside the neck which serves as a lube, of sorts. I've also started using dry lube on my case necks and the bearing surface of my bullets prior to seating. This really...

    .17 or .20 thoughts for a flat shooting critter killer

    Really well said!! I like my .204 for cats and sometimes for coyotes but I use a variety of guns for different scenarios; and I'm rarely disappointed by taking more gun than less - except with bobcats. Where I work, we don't take a lot of really long shots on coyotes and, honestly, I kill more...

    Brand new at this

    I've been having better luck using CCI BR4 primers than using the 450's. I'm also pushing 140s out of Lapua brass with H4350. My ES/SD has been much smaller with the BR4s. Just FYI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help me with these case heads

    ^^This^^ I think there's something up with your ejector. I can't remember ever having ejector marks without having some obvious primer signs first; and your primers look terrific. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First go at reloading. Need advice.

    You're primers are not flattened. When they're flattened you'll loose all or most of the gap/ring around the primer - the space between the inside of the pocket and the outside of the primer. The case on the right in the picture below is a flattened primer. It's hard to tell from the picture but...

    .300 wm brass

    I bought some Bertram brass recently and it's working really well. It was affordable and IMO is a lot better than the Winchester. I got it from HSM ammo - it's not listed anywhere or on their website but if you call them up and ask, they will sell it directly to you. They confirmed that Bertram...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake

    It's a little late but often times brakes are installed with Rocksett or red Loctite. Use a little heat from a small torch and that will usually make them easier to get off. Suggestion- get a thread protector so you don't mess the threads up. One day you might want to put a brake or a...

    RCBS Chargemaster or Chargemaster Lite?

    I can't tell you which one is better, although I'd lean towards the 1500 rather than the Lite model. But I did want to interject that I've been having some issues with my CM1500s and after borrowing a Lyman Gen 6 while my CM was off for replacement, I found the Lyman threw WAY more accurately...

    Odin Works or WOA barrel for 22 Nosler?

    I wish Rainier made a 22 Nosler barrel. I have some of their ultramatvh barrels and love them. Currently, Rainier only caries the Odin Works barrel I mentioned in 22 Nosler. It's $289.75 and includes an adjustable gas block. The WOA barrel is only available directly from WOA and it's $340 with a...

    Odin Works or WOA barrel for 22 Nosler?

    Which barrel maker would you choose? I'm going to rebarrel my LaRue Stealth upper with either WOA's 18" Predator contour or Odin Works 18" DMR contour. I'm torn which one is going to provide more accuracy. Which one would you choose, and why?

    Best Bang for My Buck???

    ^^THIS^^ is some great advice! I'm a 6.5 fanboy but I'd like to know more about the intended use of this rifle. Targets or hunting or both? The OP went from every distance out to a mile. As much as I absolutely love my Creedmoors and .260s, the further out I go and the bigger the animal I...

    Stock weight vs barrel profile (Manners)

    It's possible that it could be a little nose heavy but it wouldn't deter me from an ultralight stock. You can always add some weight into the buttstock later if you really needed to. Unless you're planning to shoot off-hand, what difference does the balance make? Any Manners stock will have...

    6.5 GAP 4S build questions

    You'll want what Defiance calls a "medium" action. It does get confusing. Especially when retailers list a Defiance "short action" on their website when it's, in fact, a Defiance medium action. I went through the same thing when I ordered my first Deviant tactical from Bugholes. The tip off is...
