    In case some of you were wondering, like I was, I decided to test out the Wolf Gold 223 Tiawanese ammo that I keep seeing around. If you look on the web, you'll find some reviews saying it's loaded up to 556 specs. Well, the primmer is crimped and sealed. The bullet is also crimped. Now ...

    Rifle Scopes of these 3 scopes -- which is the best choice for a .50 bmg

    Can any of you guys tell me way the mk4 doesn't seem to be on anybodies list. I know it cost more , but I thought it was built tougher to withstand abuse than other scopes. Id like to get a night force, but budget wise that's probably not going to happen. I'm still not sure about...

    AR-10-T ammo/reliability question

    Which is it--Bad powder or bad primers

    Hey guys. Me and the brother went out shooting. Ran into problems when shooting his M-1 Garand. Had one round that didn't go off at all, even after repeated hits. And 2 rounds that took a good half a second or more to fire after the trigger was pulled. We loaded the ammo ourselves. New...

    .50 BMG - Anyone reload w/ SA 690gr projos

    Re: .50 BMG - Anyone reload w/ SA 690gr projos Haven't used any 690's. But I do use pulled 650 M-33 bullets that I run back through a resizer. Load them with 236 gr of H-50. This gets me between 2750 and 2800 fps ( depending on which cases are used) out of a 29" Ferret upper and does sub-moa...

    7mm mag --What powder would you choose?

    I'll be shooting 162 A-max's and Winchester brass in a 31" Pacnor barrel. Between H-1000 and Retumbo which would be better for accuracy and velocity. Thanks guys.

    Rifle Scopes Leatherwood 1-4x24 CMR Tactical 30mm Rifle Scope

    Re: Leatherwood 1-4x24 CMR Tactical 30mm Rifle Scope I have one mounted on my FAL. Overall I think they are a really good value. The glass is clearer than what I was expecting from a china made scope. It seem to track and return to zero real well. The clicks could be a little more audible...

    Re: Sigthron click value Well, I called Sigthron, talked to a lady, told her the difference in 1/4" and 1/4 MOA, which I said was .25" and .26". Asked what the click value was and she said it was in MOA. I asked if she was sure, and she said she was certain of it. But, I guess I'm still...
