    Rifle Scopes Tracking issues with my Vortex Razor 1-6

    So I'm a big fan of this scope and am very pleased with its overall value. I happen to find out today however that it does not track.... At least not well. I watched a 3 gun tip about having a short yardage zero to keep from having to hold high(just one less thing to remember)on short range...

    Quick question about loading 223 on a progressive.

I wanted to start loading 223 on it and have not been able to figure out one part. Does hornady(or someone else) make a set of...

    head space question

    I have just recently started reloading for a new 6.5x47. This rifle was built by a local builder and this thing will shoot no matter what you feed it. I do however have a question about headspace. I noticed that when I set my FL die to bump the shoulder back .002, it will not knock the primer...

    Suppressors Couple of questions about suppressors...

    I am completely new to this concept but with Texas making it legal to hunt game animals with a can, Im trying to learn as much as I can. 1. Is a suppressor as effective reducing recoil as a muzzle brake? I have a Radial discharge brake on my 300WM and although it is loud, I can shoot it all day...

    Quick question about problem with stainless steel

    Ok so I have cleaned a few batches of both 300WM and 308 using stainless steel media. I am having a problem on about half of what I have done, but I believe I have gone through the same procedure on all. The brass comes out of the black water very shinny but very quickly tarnishes very quickly...

What has been your experience? Is there a negative to these cleaners? I also like the idea of being able to clean...
