    Rifle Scopes US optics 5-25 question

    I cannot comment on the 5-25 but several years ago I ordered an NXS 5.5-22 and a USO 3.2-17 TPAL at the same time. Both were mil/mil, and the USO actually showed up first. I love the USO for the first couple weeks and had second thoughts about ordering the NF (which had not arrived yet)...

    GemPro 250 Digital Scale - Awesome!!

    My powder measure gets me very close; usually close enough that I can mentally calculate about how many kernels of powder I am short of the target weight. I throw in however many I need (usually 15 or less) and pick up the tray to reweigh. When using the scale it is immediately obvious that...

    Help please! Inconsistent headspacing

    Jelrod- You're a f*cking genius; I've been struggling with headspacing for a while now and finally slowed my stroke down to hold the case in the die for a good 2+ seconds. Problem solved; can't believe it was something so simple. I was being consistent before, just much too quick. Thank you.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wilson Combat Lovers Lets here from you.

    My brother has a carry gun from them built on an aluminum Officer frame with a 4" slide and bull barrel. Damn thing outshoots my 5" Ed Brown in a ransom rest.

    45 ACP Powder Choice

    I run W231/HP-38 in my plinking rounds; just because I had it on hand. There are many good options for 45.

    Reloading Store in or near Seattle?

    In a nutshell there has been some sloppy paperwork done over the past several years. They have been trying to deal with the ATF for some time now and after talking to a lawyer they were told they would lose their case. The decision was made to forfeit/surrender their FFL rather than have it...

    Reloading Store in or near Seattle?

    Kesselring's has a decent amount of stuff, but is really low on powder right now. I was in earlier today and they had some primers as well as projectiles and basic reloading equipment. Unfortunately they are dropping all gun sales starting Oct 1; all current firearms in stock are 10% off...

    Member Link Up Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

    Unfortunately I think I'll be out of town this weekend; heading down to Lacey to help my sister move. However, I do make a number of trips to the Seattle area as my company is based in Bothell- maybe we can figure something else out? Thanks!

    Hi guys, There doesn't happen to be anyone up in Whatcom County with a KRG Whiskey 3 chassis; does there? I'm in Bellingham and would love to get behind one prior to ordering. Glad to meet up at any local range or wherever we won't get the cops called on us for shouldering a rifle. No need...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1961 Colt Detective Special

    Very cool! Beyond long range rifles I am really into older revolvers; specifically Colt's and S&W's. That looks like a killer gun; I'd love to find something like it locally.

    H1000

    Third Gen = great place. Got H1000 from them a couple weeks ago when they had the 8 pounders.

    I don't doubt that there are good Springfield Professional's out there, but this review scared me away- Hype vs. Reality, The Springfield Professional PC9111

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Bear or Ed Brown 1911

    I own an Ed Brown (SF Carry) and love it; I've also got a Wilson in the safe and the Brown seems very similar in construction to it. If you've never handled a Baer you really need to; I'm not sure I've found a 1911 that is fit as tight as a Baer and I've played with more than one full-blown...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a custom 1911

    I have a Wilson, Ed Brown, and Nighthawk. All three are excellent pistols and all three are highly recommended. If you're thinking about placing an order with the manufacturer then Ed Brown will have the shortest lead time. Personally, I feel like the NH's are spec'd to a higher degree in on...

    "Backpedal" and "reserve judgement"? That is not how we do things around here!
