I've got some extra ar500 plate and was wanting to set up a steel pistol range. I have never shot steel at close range and was wondering if there is anything I SHOULD NOT DO? Is there any handgun ammo or calibers that are not safe? What would be the closest safe range for shooting steel...

Has anyone ever had to return a barrel? I've got a bad one and was wondering what to expect when I talk with them. I believe that they will replace the barrel but what about the cost of the machine work. Do I eat the cost or do they? By the time you have a barrel fitted and a muzzle brake...

I see that Bruno's has Krieger gain twist barrels. Has anybody tried these? What about which twist rate to use? I see that they have a 8.75-8.3 twist listed. Would this accomplish the same thing as a standard 8 twist barrel? David

I have got a trued up 700 long action with a shot out barrel and I am considering building a .308 for 1000 yard shooting. Will the extra room to seat the bullets out farther be any advantage for a few more fps. If one where able to use any bullet for 1000 yard shooting with no magazine length...

Has anybody had these installed or had any dealings them? I like the low profile and they look like they would work well for a hunting scope. I have a 6.5-20 LR that I think I might want to try them on. David

Got a call from my gunsmith and he said that he should be finished with my 7WSM by the end of the week. I'm getting all my reloading stuff together and was wondering what size bushings to get. I was figuring on maybe a .311 and a .312". Has the 7WSM brass neck thickness been fairly consistent? I...

I tried my hand at annealing yesterday and I think it turned out pretty good. I had some 6.5-284 brass that had been reloaded 7 times and I had started getting a few split necks so I figured what the heck, the cases weren't going to be any good anyway. Went to range today and I picked up 30 fps...

I have got a problem that I can't seem to fix. I have a rifle that the point of impact will change either up or down but sometimes it will hold the same POI for several range trips. The action has been in 2 different stocks that have been bedded correctly and the action screws are torqued the...

Has anyone tried using the same exact Berger bullet with the two different jackets? I have been shooting the hunting VLD's but right now all I can find is the target version. Has anyone experienced any difference in accuracy between the two (driven below 3000 fps)? David

Are there any tricks out there to make a M700 eject 6BR cases more reliably? Most of the time the cases just fall back down on top of the follower. Thanks, David

Has anybody tried these yet? They are listed on Midway now but there is no info on Nosler's website yet or a least anything that I can find. It lists the BC as .593 on Midway, this has got to be a misprint, lie or a dream come true if they will shoot worth a crap. This is a better BC than any...

I wondering what kind of brass life y'all are getting out Winchester brass? I have been shooting a 270WSM for about 5 years now and 4 to 5 reloadings is all I can get before the primer pockets start getting to loose and these are with moderate loads. I'm trying to make the decision whether to go...

I was wondering if anybody has used an optical booster. I was thinking of using one on my 3.5X15 NF when I wanted a little more power. I love the 15X for hunting but I want more power for load development and some informal competition. Can you still read mirage when using a booster? Any info...
