    What the heck do YOU call it?

    As an NRA certified rifle instructor, I'm frustrated by the abomination of something that gets under my skin almost daily, that is: the correct pronunciation of "Garand". If I'm not mistaken, it should be properly pronounced "'Gerund", similar to "errand" and not "Ga'RAND". However, I don't...

    S&B brass - any good?

    Funny pictures of Somali/African gunmen - anyone?

    Does anyone remember an e-mail that was being circulated oh, maybe 7 yrs. ago, that showed some hilarious pix of some African "gunfighters" doing foolish things with their rifles in the streets? Stuff such as wearing an orange kapock life vest in place of a bullet-proof vest, ect.. I'm trying...

    Advanced Marksmanship Trouble with pulse in sitting position

    I'm having trouble with pulse in my sitting position, regardless of how I contort myself. I'm very flexible and use a cross-legged position with my heels tucked up fairly tight under my thighs. I have to tuck my left foot rather tight in order to get enough height on the rear of the rifle. I...

    Advanced Marksmanship AR15 firing hand grip pressure?

    What is the recommendation on how tightly on should grip the rifle with the trigger-finger hand on an AR15? Pertaining to XTC position shooting, that is. I remember Gunny Ken Roxburgh saying once in a seminar - "Grip it like a man!"

    Lake City brass case head diam - larger?

    When priming previously-fired Lake City brass (.223) it seems that I'm constantly fighting to get the cases removed from my Lee Auto-Prime. Have to yank, snatch, twist sometimes (often) to get it out of the shellholder after I've primed it. Regular Winchester brass slips in and out with no...

    Advanced Marksmanship Proper way to correct for elevation in prone?

    Position-wise, that is. If I lay down and get all comfortable and get the rifle in my shoulder pocket like it's supposed to be, hand positioned on the handguard where I get the proper sling-tension that's comfortable for me and then my natural point of aim is low or high on the target, what's...

    So, when measuring my OAL on an AR15...

    ...do I need to fully chamber the test round using the bolt (sans extractor and extractor), or do I just push the test round fully into the chamber with my finger?

    Determining proper OAL for SMK 80

    Without purchasing yet another tool to measure length-to-ogive, how can I get the correct OAL for a SMK 80? AR15. I find that the length to the tips of the bullets varies by several thousandths, so when I think I've got things measured out correctly (by placing a bullet in an empty cartridge...

    Range Report AR15 - bolt not locking back on last round - why?

    So, for my offhand position, I've been shooting 68gr bullets with 24.0 gr. of Re-15 for a while now, with no problems whatsoever with the bolt locking back. Loaded up some 77 SMK's with 23.5 gr. Re-15 to try and on almost every shot (single-load) the bolt failed to lock back indicating and...

    Beam scale that will work for me forever - rec.?

    Alright, so my Lee scale pretty much sucks - sticks, always needs re-zeroing (by a lot sometimes). What are some better ones that I can use from now on and not outgrow? I've got my eye on the RCBS 5-0-5 - will it do the job accurately and sufficiently without much fuss? Any others I should consider?

    Micrometer seating die recommendation?

    I shoot several different bullets - there's got to be an easier way to seat than re-setting my die/lock ring each time I change bullets. I think what I must be looking for is a micrometer seating die - any recommendations? FWIW, .223 Rem. using Hornady 52, 68, and 75 gr. BTHP and 80 gr. A-Max.
