    An idea we have for a race.

    I have been thinking of a competition that goes like this: Here is a topo map, there are 5 different points indicated with judges waiting at each one. You need to run or walk as fast as possible to the different points, and at each point engage multiple targets from 100-1200 yards. No GPS, only...

    Gunsmithing Chamber suggestions for .308

    Anyone out there that can help me decide on a chamber reamer? I am putting together an Eliseo tube gun with a Pierce action and I want to try the new Alpha mags. If they let me load out to 2.985" that kind of changes the game a little.

    Nice AR

    Maybe I don't get out much but I just think this is a good lookin rifle. My AR is just kinda black. I guess somebody in Arizona makes these. It has a Wylde chamber, Lothar barrel and walnut furniture. Nice.

    Powder weighing options.

    Right now I use an RCBS manual scale with an Omega electric powder trickler. I am wondering what I can use to speed things up a bit more. The Chargemaster type scales seem too inaccurate and the Prometheus would be perfect but it is too expensive for me. Anyone have suggestions?
