    Reloading bench surface

    Mine is just 3/4” plywood that I varnished. It’s held up well for me but I’m not as hard on stuff as some people are.

    Powder funnels

    I just picked up a Hornady set, but I haven’t used them yet. Anyone have experience with them?

    Hornady ELDX?

    I shoot 178’s in my Savage 308 and get sub moa. I have killed a few deer with them. Overall, they are fine bullets but nothing magical.

    Question about Annealing too much

    I believe (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that as long as it is done properly, ie not over-annealled, that annealling multiple times won’t have any affect on the brass.

    Omega 300 on ar15

    I wanted to get in on Silencerco‘s bogo deal, that’s why I got the Omega (I did the paperwork last weekend). A dedicated can for my AR is not feasible for me right now. I need something that will work on multiple platforms and the Omega seems like a good compromise. Maybe in the future I will...

    Omega 300 on ar15

    Thanks everyone for the input. I’ve decided to go for it and am going to fill out the paperwork tonight. I am going to give the asr system a shot, it seems a bit more practical to switch between thread pitches. I will see how the blowback is and if the adjustable gas block I have can tame it...

    Powder for 223

    I’ve played around with Tac in the past but didn’t get too serious with it because I didn’t see any advantage over Benchmark. It wasn’t bad at all it just wasn’t any better. That being said, I have picked up a few pounds recently because it’s what I’ve been able to find and plan to start doing...

    Omega 300 on ar15

    Thanks for the replies. I do have an adjustable gas block due to the mistake of going with a mid-length gas system. I was also planning to go the direct thread route for simplicity. I know I would need a thread adapter or to get my ar re-threaded. Would this be a mistake? I’ve read some bad...

    Omega 300 on ar15

    I am new to suppressors and am looking at getting an Omega 300 and a Warlock 22 on Silencerco’s bogo deal. The Omega will be shared between a 20” .308 and an 18” ar15 in .223 (Wylde chamber) and the Warlock will be used on a bolt action 22. Use will be hunting and target practice, no...

    Suppressors What launches a suppressor?

    I have been looking at a Harvester for my first can because of the price, but if the quality is in question I guess I will just step up to a TB.

    Is that a Harvester?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR. Complete failure!

    When someone pays the price and buys a product from a company with a reputation like Nightforce, one expects rock solid reliability. And if there is a problem, to be taken care of like you are more than just a RMA in the pile. I understand things break, but Nightforce claims their product to be...

    Rifle Scopes GAP Deal on Bushnell LRHS Scopes

    I received mine Thursday and I’m happy to say everything lines up fine. Now I just need to finish my Howa build.

    Thanks. Anyone use the Nightforce? No preference just checking.

    Rifle Scopes Howa scope base

    I just ordered a Bushnell LRHS on the GA Precision deal to go on a Howa barreled action. I was hoping someone could tell me which bases for the Howa short action have a recoil lug? I've seen EGW, Nightforce, and Burris but I have only seen one place that says the Burris has one and nothing on...

    Rifle Scopes GAP Deal on Bushnell LRHS Scopes

    I’m thinking of grabbing one of these for my hunting rifle. What is the low light performance like (dawn and dusk hunting conditions)? Most of my deer hunting is before and after sun up (hunting hours are 1/2 hour before and after) so that is my biggest priority.

    Rifle Scopes Cutting a scope sunshade.. who has done it?

    Use a band saw, cut just through the side wall and spin the shade to make a nice square cut. Clean the edge up with sandpaper, done.

    Will paint my Howa HCR

    I would think a matte clear would leave the same rough texture that the paint does. You can clear if you want to make the color last a bit longer or leave it. I like the look as the paint starts to wear, I think it adds character.
