I need a pair of Snake boots. I spent the day out scouting my deer lease in Central Texas. I didn't see any rattle snakes but I am tired of picking cactus thorns out of my shins. Our lease is covered in cactus fields, some areas its super thick. I've tried canvas reinforced hunting pants...

My AR22 trainer is finally complete. The upper is a Tactical Solutions with the SBX shrouded barrel (similar to the 10/22 SBX barrel). Add a GemTech Outback II and it gets even better. The SBX barrel is 16.25" and with the suppressor added 16.75" giving you all the advantages of a suppressed...

Why are some people using a Large pistol primer for Trailboss in .308 subsonic loads and others are using regular large rifle primers? What is the benifit or danger of using one over the other? I'm new to the world of subsonic large caliber reloading and want to make sure I do it right.
