    Fieldcraft Do you sound like a fool?

    The other day I was watching a show about modern weapons used by snipers and couldn't believe what these "professionals" said! They were talking about the .338 "la-POO-a" (misspelled for emphasis) magnum. Everyone in Finland must go into paroxysms of laughter every time they hear an American...

    Army troubles again

    Somehow I just know <span style="color: #3366FF">this</span> is going to come back to hurt our soldiers still in Afghanistan! Interesting how media paints the problem to make it seem like American soldiers are the bad guys. I sure hope the equipment wasn't left over in Afghanistan where it...

    Cost of Retumbo

    I just bought an 8 lbs. jug of Retumbo from WalMart. Total cost after tax was less than $150.00! I'm thinking some of these other places are ripping us off. I had to special order of course. Wait time? One week!

    Temperature sensitivity

    I have heard (is it only a rumor?) that Retumbo (Hogden) is a very temperature INsensitive powder and that regardless of the temperature of the powder in the case (cold, warm or hot) the burning rate of the powder is affected very little. How does this compare with other powders of similar burn...

    Loads for the .375 CheyTac

    I just finnished going through 6 pages of search engine info on the CheyTac. I don't find much mention of loads for the beast. I can find some factory load info using Retumbo but has anyone tried Ramshot "Magnum" powder? Is anyone out there able to use "Quickload/Quick design" to design some...

    .375 Cheytac. Now I've done it!

    Just ordered the gun of my dreams from Robert (one of our site sponsors). If I don't spend the money on something I want, my wife will certainly find something she wants. Gun and reloading dies in a package deal, sweet! Now I've got to order the scope and rings for him to mount on the gun...

    350 grain .375 SMKs

    I've been trying to find the G1 BC and G7 BC of the 350 grain .375 SMK. Ran a search but no info. Sierra doesn't even list that bullet in their charts. They load this bullet as factory ammo for Cheytac so there must be data someplace. Just a wild guess would put the G1 at about 0.85 and the...

    Size really does make a difference!!!

    My daughter just got back from girls camp. Some guy (dad) brought up his "50 cal." up for the girls to shoot. My daughter said that EVERY one of the girls who shot it came back with a BIG grin on their face after the experience. She also said that the back-blast from the arrestor was...

    Suppressors >375 Cheytac suppressor

    I'm having a hard time trying to find a quality made suppressor specifically designed for the .375 Cheytac. I don't want to "oversize" with a .408 or .50 cal. suppressor. I like the Thunderbeast design but they only go up to .338. Out of the dozen or so other companies I've checked, only a...

    .338 comparisons - TRG 42 vs Savage 18900

    Other than the $1000.00 saved by getting the Savage instead of the TRG, what other advantages does the Savage offer? I believe the TRG 42 offers 1/2 MOA out of the box. Is that amount of "precision" gained (if any in reality) worth the thousand dollars? The Savage comes with an integral...

    Suppressors Braking effect of a suppressor

    How much brake effect does a typical suppressor provide? I know that some muzzle brakes claim to reduce recoil by as much as 70%-75% but I doubt that a suppressor will provide that sort of reduction.
