    Neighbor's horses in my property problem (texas)

    Hey all, I wanted to see if I can pick the hide's brain a bit. I found a great stretch of property that extends 1km long in a straight line. I am in the process of buying it so I can do some of my shooting there. There is no fence on the property but it is still a good deal. One neighbor has...

    Seekins hit pro vs custom?

    Hey all, I've really been thinking about getting a seekins hit pro. Maybe not right away but sometime down the road. It's in the $2k range and I know I'm nearing custom money territory. I've never thought about getting a custom or felt curious/attracted about going that route. I'm just not...

    Where is everyone buying their precision calipers?

    Hey all, As title states, where are you buying calipers? I can go to Amazon and buy something & get it delivered the next day. However, with precision instruments, I would think buying straight from the manufacturer is best in order to avoid fakes. I went to mitutoyo website and it seems like...

    New virgin brass vs new factory ammo vs 1x fired brass

    Hey all, I'm starting this discussion to see if I can spark some conversation and maybe gather input from those who have been reloading for longer.

    Suppressors Can anybody ID this suppressor?

    Hey, A good buddy of mine recognized this suppressor on a stock photo from KRG and remembered a buddy of ours having it and really liking it. I told him I'd be able to recognize it since he was curious on it but I actually don't know which one it is lol. Do any of you know which model it is?

    Will suppressor cover sliding forward act as crown or mess with groups?

    Hey all, I remember a thread not too long ago where a guy zeroed at 100 was impacting high at 200 without even touching turrets. I think this was the thread Frank mentioned a suppressor cover could act as a crown. Or maybe it was a different thread, but I remember this being mentioned. I've...
