    Hunting & Fishing Sierra Match HPBT for hunting? Yes

    I had some concerns about using them for hunting bullets but I loaded some .270 135 gr for a Pronghorn hunt. They shot very well in my stock Browning after I dialed in a load...single hole at 100 and about 2 inches at 300. Well, I shot an Antelope at about 280 yds with this bullet and it was...

    Suppressors Experience with Tactical Operations Suppressors?

    I am thinking of putting one on my XRay 51 but really have not seen any discussions on their suppressors. I was thinking that since they made the rifle (which is very nicely put together) it would make sense to have their can as well. Anybody have any experience or knowledge on these? Kurt

    Do you de-prime before you do your first cleaning?

    I've been sizing and depriming before cleaning my brass in the tumbler. Should I tumble and clean before this step? Or is that just adding an extra step. I guess it comes down to the issue of whether I should resize "dirty" brass. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Can you "over clean" a barrel?

    I was wondering if you can "over clean" a barrel? Not by brushing, but chemically. I just recently switched to Sweet's and have noticed that it is very difficult to get to a clean patch. I'm not leaving the Sweets in the barrel and am following directions, but I keep getting dark brown groove...

    Storing Ammo and Powder in a safe?

    I now have enough ammo and reloading components that I'm concerned about theft and the overall safety of having bulk powder not "secured". I currently have it locked up a in a metal cabinet, but was considering putting it in a safe. This would be a separate safe than my guns, but I was...
