    Powder Dispenser

    Looking to get a new powder dispenser. Was looking at the RCBS Matchmaster and the MacDonald V4. Anyone favor one or the other or have something in the general price range they prefer.

    Neck Tension

    I currently use RCBS standard dies for .308. I am planning on upgrading my equipment and thought about getting Matchmaster or Hornady equivalent bushing dies. I have been doing some reading here and elsewhere and it seems that getting consistent neck tension would result in tighter groups. I...

    Burris XTR III or NX8

    TX III in either the 3.3x18 or 5.5x30; or Nightforce NX8 in 2.5x20 or 4x32. I have only been able to get my hands on the NX8 2.5x20 and really did like it. Not sure if I really need the magnification when even down the road I would rarely attempt to shoot past 1k. The Burris would likely save...

    7mm Rem Mag

    I currently own a Remington 5R in .308. I like it, but am wanting to move up to something better suited for long range. I want something along the same style as my .308 as it is accurate and yet portable enough to hunt with if needed. I have been looking at the 7mm Rem Mag as the 180+ bullets...

I want a FFP scope and I am currently looking at Vortex Razor HD, Nightforce F1, and a few from Leupold. Before I ask a bunch of questions I wanted to do my part and read some various reviews...

    Rifle Scopes Search Engine

    I know this is not the place to put it but then I don't see where is the right place. I have used the google custom search engine in the past and up until a few days ago it worked great. Anyone else having problems or can they direct me to a new search engine. Thanks.

    Reloading 223

    I currently load 55gr fmj with 27gr of 748 and use a magnum primer per my speer manual. I been shooting my 308 and run varget in it, wondering if I should switch to varget for both or if anyone is using something else that they might think is better. I like 748 cause it is a ball powder so it...

    Iphone App that has Ballistic info and Mildot

    I have been looking on this site for an app that does ballistics and some basic mildot help. Seen a bunch of them but not sure what is the best for the money. Anyone have one or two they really like?

    Chronograph for $200 or less

    Was looking to get a chronograph and spend about 200 or less on one. I have read some of the post here and they seem to speak highly of the CED M2 chronograph. I went on Midway to buy one and it didn't get very high reviews. Is this due to a small sample size? Is there another unit that I...

    Reloading 45acp Blazer Brass

    been reloading some 45s of assorted brass and noticed some of the blazer stuff uses large primers (cci300) and others require small primers. I think it would be fine to use small primers on it but the book only states to use the cci300. This sound okay?

    M&P 15x Questions

    I have a m&p15x and was wondering what kind of accuracy I should expect out of this. I am going to have some nice handloads done up for the next trip to the range and was curious what others are getting with a similar rifle and what mods could be done to make it more accurate. Thanks.

    308 Hornday A-Max Seating Question

    I have a RCBS single stage press and a set of 308 dies. I am using virgin brass that has been resized. I am on the bullet seating step now and I have noticed a ring around the top of the bullet once it is seated (my guess is it took to much force to seat it, though it felt like it slipped...

    Working with my new Remington 5r

I have read several post on 308 using the components I have but was wondering if anyone has any data on this gun. I have 168gr A-Max and Varget powder. From what i have read I should have an overall length of...

    Suppressors Need a 12g to mess around with

    I got a budget of $400 and want to get a 12g for busting some clays and whatnot. Remington 870 vs Mossburg 500? I assume the difference there is a personal preference. What model of each could I get or is there something else out there in that price range. Thanks.

    231 vs Unique in 45acp

    First, yes I did search info on this topic, but I got a wide variety of powders people used and many of them are not available in my area. I have been shooting 230g lead and plated round nose with unique and was wondering if 231 would be a better choice. Being a ball powder it would meter more...

    How to find the best OAL for your gun

    Looking to shoot 178grain A-max out of a rem 700 5r and was wondering what OAL I should use or how to make it specific to the gun. Book states 2.8inch if I am not mistaken.
