    Knee pad inserts.

    I have some screwed up knees. Looking for recommendations of pad inserts for my Vertx pants. It is looking like I will get at least one new knee installed this year and I have been told that I will definitely need some cushion to kneel down after that is put in. PS: Anyone make a tactical...

    First Kestrel Purchase Recomendations

    I don' like to repurchase items because I under bought features. I do not like to buy Porsche's when a Hyundai will do the job either. With that said, for a guy that is getting more and more into long range shooting, what would be the groups recommendation for a first Kestrel purchase? We...

    45 ACP Powder Choice

    I am about to shoot up the last of some 15k 45 loads I have had for years. They were loaded in the days where I kept records of nothing and I have no clue what they are (VV N310 I am sorta recalling). All I remember is I loaded them up about 20 at a time until I found what I liked and started...

    Ford F-150 seat covers.

    Lost my bookmarks. One of the manufacturers here on the Hide makes a seat bottom cover that has molle connections on the bottom that are accessible when they seat is folded up. I need me one. Extra options + keeping the grandkids car seat from scuffing up the leather = a win for me.

    Harris Height

    For primarily shooting off the bench would the 6-9 or 9-13 bipod offer more utility under a AR platform?

    AR Buttstock

    I have a RRA AR with the Operator buttstock and I am looking to replace it with something that will give me a better cheekweld. Since the Magpul PRS is now made of unobtanium, I was wondering what else was used and recommended by other AR shooters. Yes, I could go look at AR15.com and ask...

    69gr SMK target velocity

    With the thought that of course I am a cautions reloader and will be doing a work up, what velocity should I realistically be for at the top end of a 69 gr SMK 223 load. This will be out of a RRA 20" tube. This will be my steel shooting load out to 600 meters. Well, I hope it will anyway...

    Rifle Scopes You guy's are just killing me.

    Since I became a forum member I have done a lot of reading on a lot of different topics. One of those were items covered here in the Optics section. I have bought a few scopes (Vortex PST FFP, SWFA SS, Mk 4) and really like the total control I have and the ability to twist and shoot out to any...

    Tools you have you should have started with.

    I have been reloading since the late 70's. During that time I have bought some things that have helped and others that I have used as filler for my shelves. So in case I have missed something, I was wondering what tools you have now that you wished you had bought earlier in your reloading...

    Canned Air

    Has anyone put a short blast of canned air down their barrel between shots on an OCW or Ladder to aid barrel cooling? I am not talking about emptying a full can down a smoking hot tube here.

    When to trim?

    With the Giraud and the Little Crow trimmers both indexing off the shoulder, do you only trim to length after a shoulder bump? I have my 223 setup in a 650 with a FL resize in station one and a Dillon 1200 in station 4 so they are FL resized and trimmed every trip through. With my bolt guns...

    Hunting & Fishing Need a new sling

    I want a new sling. Just your standard two point sling, no tacticool required for this rifle. But, I don't want it sliding off my shoulder. I don't care if every shirt and jacket I have has the shoulder seam stretched to breaking. I want that sling to stay there. I have always had trouble...
