    Tax time action purchase

    I’ve been running a tl3 for center fire along with a RimX for the 22 game the past few seasons, but want to branch out to try something different.

    Starline 308 SRP question

    I had a question regarding the small primer 308 brass from starline or I guess any brand using that configuration, it says to use a cooler temperature primer/powder to prevent hang fires but I’m not sure what that are looking for. I’ve got a pretty good recipe for LRP but not sure if the same...

    Sunwayfoto IB-30 sticking

    Has anyone with the IB-30 from sunwayfoto experienced it essentially sticking in place unless you fully open the clamp and if so what’s your remedy. It’s not a big issue with a rifle mounted up since I’ve got a ton of leverage, but with my spotter setup it’s sorta a pain since I’ve got very...

    Clear then burry reticle

    So this evening while doing some dry fire practice in the back yard I started to notice a weird thing happening with a scope I’ve been running on my PRS22 rig this season and need a little input. So I get behind the glass, get on target and the reticle is crisp but the longer I look at the...

    SK HV Match

    Does anyone have experience with it and have good results? I grabbed a few boxes to test out since it seems very easy to obtain since I’m assuming it’s not all it’s cracked up to be and who doesn’t want cheap available ammo if it shoots well.

    I tested out my tried and true SK Std+ through a new barrel and it shot pretty solid but when I choreographed it was a lot slower then I expected.

    22LR Preferred barrel blanks

    Has anyone played around with any of the RF barrels they produce? I heard pretty good things about their centerfire stuff but not a whole lot on the rimfire side of the house and now I’ve got a 10-12 week lead time to ponder what’s coming my way since I snagged one on a black friday deal.

    Hotter ammo for “fast twist” barrels

    I know “fast twist” barrel are being to become more common place amongst PRS/NRLx shooters that are engaging targets at longer distances, but what I want to know is do you need to run hotter ammo to counteract the extra drag the rifling is imparting. I’ve heard somewhere that you need to be at...
