    MSA Supreme Pro Earmuff Modifications?

    I have a set of the MSA Supreme pro earmuffs and realize the NRR is low but I had a little brainstorm. From my car audio days mass loading thin panels seemed to help the sound quality. What do yall think about adding a thin layer of sound deadening material to the insides of the earmuffs? I...

    Gun Cases

    What Are you using for a gun case for your precision rifles? I have somewhat swayed to soft discreet type bags for my other rifles and have thought about one for my bolt gun. I currently use one of the Starlight hard cases that Sams sold back in the day for cheap. The starlight case is big and...

    Casing shape

    I was wondering something when i read about the 300 BLK and wanted some help understanding it if any of you know. I load for .308 and .223 so being able to use the .308 projectile in a .223 case would be an easy transition supply wise. My question comes from why they didnt use the 7.62x39...

    I found one other thread on this and the OP didnt get much feedback on the mercury reducers. I have some steel shot i could add but i thought the mercury deal could be more beneficial. I really hate to add weight to the stock but i would like to reduce the recoil without threading the barrel...

    Steel target shapes

    I finally am a member of a range where i can use steel targets. So what shape targets do you findto be the most fun or beneficial to shoot at? I would like something i can shoot an AR at with just a red dot or irons. It would also be nice to be able to shoot my .308 bolt gun at but that may be...

    I am looking for some ideas for a new cheek piece. I currently have the eagle stock pack and feel it pushes my head too far away from the center of the rifle. I have to tilt my head over in order to get inline with the scope. Do any of you have any ideas for something thin i could use to...
