Asking for suggestions and opinions. I want to build a rifle for my son that he can use effectively now and into the future to hunt, target shoot and shoot PRS type events. I’m hoping to put something together he will never “outgrow”. Due to his current size and strength I need to keep the...

I've looked at various reloading manuals and other resources. I know there are a lot of powders that will work with 215's in 300 win mag, but I'd like to know what has worked best for others here as far as temp stability, velocity, accuracy, etc. I've been searching for many months for H1000...

I've searched and googled to the best of my ability but haven't come up with anything... I'm looking for some pictures of an MCS-T with a Bartlein #3 barrel (Krieger #4, Brux #4 would work too). Does anyone have this combo and if so would you be willing to share some pictures? Thanks.

Has anyone pulled bullets and weighed the powder charge in Hornady's factory 140AMAX ammo? I pulled bullets and weighed 5 charges and I'd like to know if this is typical results as I'm a little surprised by the variations... (from Lot#3101904) 40.7gr 40.6gr 40.4gr 41.1gr 40.6gr Previously I...

I received my first rifle from Mike Bush at UGSW (BlackOps) yesterday. Mike was awesome to deal with... he always had time for me, and i made more then a few changes along the way. He's a good guy for sure. The rifle is amazing... attention to detail is crazy, it's every bit as good as his...

I haven't been able to find much about the BT28 "AFAR" setup and the advantages or disadvantages of using it with an Atlas instead of the BT19 Spigot most people seem to be running. If anyone has run an Atlas both ways I would appreciate opinions or observations you have comparing the two.

All the calibers I currently load for I am using Forster ultra seater dies and Redding type-s fl sizing dies. Forster doesn't seem to have anything for the 6.5CM yet and the Redding dies are pricey. Those of you that have used the Hornady dies (specifically for the 6.5CM), anything bad to say...

Has anyone seen this for sale recently (or better yet, currently)? I'm assuming it's been discontinued since I can't find it for sale anywhere. My CZ LOVES that ammo. I've tried a few other brands since, but can't find anything that shoots near that well. Any info would be appreciated. btw...

I had an opportunity to shoot from 1001 yards today for the first time. Prior to today, the furthest I'd ever shot was 720 yards. I had 16 rounds to work with and it was fairly windy, although not consistent. I had trouble getting dialed in… the wind was kicking my butt. I would miss right...

I know next to nothing about computers. What are the pros and cons of these two systems? Any input would be appreciated.

I am having a 6.5 Creedmoor built now and have a few questions... For those of you that have been shooting and reloading for the Creedmoor for a while, how many reloads have you been able to get out of the Hornady brass? What kind of barrel life have you experienced? I want to pick up...

I apologize in advance if i posted this in the wrong section... I am wondering if there is a good online source for used gun values. I have a couple handguns and a shotgun i need to determine the value of. So far the best i have come up with is to search for similar models listed for sale...

I just recently got back in to handloading. I have noticed that both currently and in previous years, I always seem to try Hodgdon powders first. I doubt there will be any educational value to this, but because I'm curious I will ask... Is there a certain brand of powder that you always look...

For those of you that have been using the Nosler custom comp bullets for a while, did you notice any difference in performance when they stopped using the J4 jackets? I am thinking about trying these out but haven't been able to find much on the newer bullets w/o the j4 jackets. Will probably...

I removed my barreled action from the bedded HS Precision stock it was in, and then re-nstalled it. Prior to doing this I marked the bottom metal and bolts, thinking when I put it back I could align the marks and all would be the same. I'm not a very good shot, but prior to doing this I was...

Does anyone know a place that currently has these available? My Google skills have let me down... I haven't been able to find a single place that has one available. Thanks.

I shot some .308 FGMM 175gr and Black Hills Match 175gr across my chronograph this weekend. It was 45* and 55% humidity. The Black Hills had an average velocity of 2578 fps and an extreme spread of 122 fps (high velocity 2618, low velocity 2496). The FGMM average velocity was 2610 fps with...

I've got an opportunity to pick up a 5.5-22x56 NXS. It has Mil turrets and a mil-dot reticle. I had been planning to pick up a Mil turret/MLR reticle scope but this one with the Mil-Dot is a pretty good deal. Any reason NOT to go with a Mil-Dot scope if it saves a few dollars over an MLR? I...

I would really appreciate suggestions on how to go about building a good shooting 308 on a budget. I will be using my rem 700 VS 22-250 to build from. It has an HS Precision stock which i bedded many years ago with steel bed i believe it was. Suggestions on how you would go about turning it...
