    Thanks to Greg Young at Southern Precision Rifles!

    Got Greg's number after asking about getting a brake for my boys .308. finding a 1/2 x 28 brake is a little difficult especially if you dont want to spend a ton of money. My boys rifles are $350 Mossberg so I really didnt want to add $150 per rifle for a brake. Emailed Greg and he took good...

    A little help finding a .308 comp. Need 1/2 x 28

    I have QD mounts coming for my .308 can but in the wait time, I would like to install a comp on both my boys .308 rifles. Due to the size of the barrel, it has to be threaded for 1/2 x 28. If anyone could post up some links, I would appreciate it. Haven't been able to find one so far. Thank...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST FFP 6-24- pre-range review and pics.

    Scope arrived from Rifle Scopes, Binoculars, Spotting Scopes and Range Finders | Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss | SportOptics earlier this week. Very happy with the service and price at SportOptics. They are also a Hide sponsor. Scope appears to be very light in comparison. Comes with the...

    Annealing. First batch. How does this look?

    I read up a bunch on annealing and took the advice of several hide members before I started. Here is my first batch. Bottom of the pic is the first run, where I was experimenting with time. Some are too light, some too far down on the case. Middle of the pic is a little short on time, I...

    Annealing. Is it necessary for everyone?

    I currently run Hornady Match brass through my savage 10fp. 175 SMK's and 180 SST's run right around 2700 average with 43gn Varget and Win WLR primers. I FL size when I reload and I have had not any issues with sizing or with velocity consistency (last string of 20 in 100 degree heat had...

    Looking for 22-250 with a 1/9 twist, what are my options?

    Been looking for a 22-250 for quite a while but everything I have found is 1/12 and 1/14. From what I have researched, most folks recommend a 1/9 for a variety of loads (60-75gn). According to most sites, the 1/12 is limited to lighter bullets. Can someone give me some ideas of what is out...

    Night Vision D760 with iPhone Adapter- review and hog kill video!

    I posted up a while back about the D760. Recently, I purchased the iPhone adapter kit from MOD Armory. The D760 is simply awesome. The clarity and accuracy are simply amazing. I have made shots with no external IR out to 150y with zero problems. I know that the scope is capable of much much...

    Yugo M76 8mm loads

    My little brother recently got an 8mm yugo m76 from a company in Ohio. Being that it is semi auto with adjustable gas settings, we are looking for a load that sends the 190+gr bullets out around 2500-2600. Not finding much online and i figured if it wasnt here, if doesnt exist. Any help...

    Night Vision First NV Pig Kill- MOD Armory makes it happen!

    Got a chance to get out and do a bit of hog hunting last night. Taken a few varmints with it but no pigs. Its a Stag 1:7 16" upper, w/Spkies lower. 68 Hornady Match. D760 scope with adj. gain. Night Optics IR-K2. The IR-K2 is pretty awesome for a not as expensive IR. Has a high and low...

    Night Vision Battery Care and feeding for NV....

    I know you should not leave batteries in your NV gear but how long is too long. I tend to pull my batteries when I put it in the safe but I am concerned that on the D760, over time, it will wear out the screw or insert. I use use the high end lithium batteries for it and they last quite a bit...

    Teaching Kids- your tips here!

    My boy's first buck shot at 230 yards got me to thinking. We need a thread of things we, as parents, have learned in teaching our kids to shoot well (both safe and precise). I am hoping this thread takes off and we can all learn from each other..... Here are a few things that I have found to...

    Hunting & Fishing 9 y/o takes first buck!....at 230y

    This is why we practice shooting at smaller targets at longer ranges. My son and I were in the blind yesterday and after watching several does and another buck feeding at around 200y, we saw this big boy jump the fence. I ranged it at 230y and told my son. He went right to his aiming point...

    Night Vision D760 setup- MOD Armory- now w/pics!

    Here are the pics that go with my review below. Setup is 16" Stag 1/7 upper. Nothing special. Lower is Spikes Tactical. Again, nothing special. The only modification I made was to sand down the upper handguard to get the lens cover on more easily. Having my YHM quad-rail milled for...

    New Stock/Modify Stock?- Son's Mossberg .308

    Got my son a Mossberg .308 Super Bantam ATR for deer season. Gun runs really well and is quite accurate for a $350 rifle. However, I need a new stock for it. The tupperware stock is flexy and likes contact the barrel without much effort. I would like to get some ideas on either getting a new...

    Fieldcraft Ghillie Poncho- input appreciated

    Built this a year or so ago. Wanted a throw over poncho style that was light for hunting here in Hill Country. Used a fishing net with camo burlap stripped and tied on. Added longer wider strips of burlap for depth. The leaves were an add on that really seem to help it blend in. I used...

    Need similar powder to IMR 3031

    I have a shorty FAL 14.75" with PWS comp for legality. Shooting 145gr FMJ at around 2400-2450 with the IMR3031. Its my night hunt pig gun for short range and I want to avoid the flash. The IMR works great but it is an extruded powder and would really like a ball powder so it feeds better...

    "Quieter" powder?

    Ok, don't think I am crazy but at some point the ATF will approve my suppressors and since I reload, I had a question... Are certain powders "quieter" than others? What i mean is whether or not certain powders, depending on their composition, burn rate, etc. are actually quieter given the same...

    Setting up range, need steel size up to 750y

    We are finally getting around to setting up a range at the ranch. We have the ability to stretch out to at least 750y, maybe longer. We had a 10" circle at 400y this weekend and it seemed to be about right. I would like to get some recommendations for sizes, shapes for distances of 100, 200...
