    Of all the parameters that must be met when reloading, what do you think is most important?

    When we reload, we have to ensure that we meet several parameters. We have to make sure the charge weight is correct. We have to ensure we're using the correct primer and powder. We have to ensure that the OAL or, in my case the BTO (base to ogive) is precise. We have to make sure the jump...

    Hunting Etiquette

    So I've been hunting a lot of years. For the last 30 years I deer hunt by myself. Saturday was the first day of deer season and I didn't feel the need to get up at oh-dark-thirty to go out to the field. It wasn't till about noon that I got geared up and headed out to the farm I was going to...

    Has your employment of a red dot made you more accurate?

    The subject line pretty much sums it up. Has your employment of a red dot made you a more precise pistol shooter? Thanks in advance.

    Trijicon RMR or Crimson Trace laserguard

    I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is going to be but I wanted to run it by the Collective Mind for input. I've been considering going to a Trijicon red dot but man it's going to be expensive. Figure around $650ish for the red dot, another $150ish for the milling. And I'm not even sure...

    Hornady .264 (6.5) ELD - how far off the lands & grooves?

    Typically shoot Berger 130s out of my 260 Rem (with great results) but just got some Hornady 130 ELDs on sale at PowderValley.com as an experiment. Anybody else shoot/reload the Hornady 130 ELDs? If so, how far out do you seat them? Thanks so much for your wise and experienced responses.

    Optics Loopy Mark 4s

    Howdy, I have two Leupold Mark 4 6.5x20x50 scopes for sale. The first scope has (I believe) Badger medium height rings which are attached as well as the original box bearing the scope's serial number and Butler Creek scope caps. There is one curiosity about this scope. The box, which I already...

    Any suggestions for a good in-line muzzleloader?

    I'm looking to get into muzzleloading for bear. I haven't done a ton of research yet but right now, Knight looks like the best ML out there. US made, MOA accuracy at 200 yards etc. and the fact that it is NOT a break action make it attractive. If anyone has better suggestions please let me...

    Anybody heard of the Boarmaster 55XR?

    Got an email ad the other day for what appears to be a new offering in the thermal market. I've looked on youtube and searched this forum but I haven't found anything. Does anyone have any info on this thermal? Particularly the Boarmaster 55XR.

    I can barely navigate this site - pages loading VERY slowly if at all

    I don't know if this has been discussed in the past but I can barely navigate the site. Whenever I click on almost any link, be it a forum name or a thread, it takes 2 to 3 minutes to load the page. I know the page is trying to load because the little thingey in left corner is moving. And...

    SuperHogster & Recoil

    So I note that the SuperHogster is rated at only 308 recoil level. Does this cause any of you concern that it may be a little fragile? From what I've seen, most shooters are mounting them on 5.56s, 7.62x39s or blackouts. Not a lot of recoil on any of those. I'm considering mounting on a...

    PVA Brakes - how good at controlling muzzle jump?

    I've been looking at Patriot Valley brakes for awhile and like them because of the way they emphasize protecting the shooter from muzzle blast. But I'm equally concerned about getting a brake that does the best job possible of reducing muzzle jump. I'm shooting a 260 Remington and I'm not...

    Shooting 500yds - What size IPSC Silhouette target?

    As the subject states I'm shooting 500 but what size target? Full size IPSC? 63%? 66%? I see these different target suppliers selling different size targets and it seems to be based on ease of shipping for the supplier. What's everybody using for 500yds? Thanks.

    CCI Benchrest name change?

    I've used CCI BR-2 Benchrest primers for a long time. Recently, I have been told by the LGS that CCI has changed the name of this product. The story now goes, alllegedly, that benchrest primers no longer say "Benchrest" on the box. They simply say " Large Rifle BR-2" Has anyone else heard...

    RollingStone article on US Guns and their effect on poor little Mexico

    According to this article nearly half of all gun stores in the United States would go out of business were it not for the sales boost provided by the carnage in Mexico. I guess the other half of all gun stores would go out of business if Hiders stopped buying. Here's the lie Arming the...
