    Suppressors Total number of Examiners

    Got to looking out on nfatracker.com and the total number of examiners listed is right at 43. With all of the bodies being added to process forms, makes me wonder if this number will go up, is the examiners listed on nfatracker not complete and if not, how much do you think it will actually help...

    Rifle Scopes New Glass on the Way

    Big thanks goes out to Lazy21. Got me the hookup on a new USO ER-25. Will be going on top of my .338 build. For those looking at US Optics, Lazy is very easy to work with and will do what it takes to get you taken care of. Very worth while to shoot him a PM to see what he can do for you.

    New lesson learned today

    Check lists are a good thing to have along with check and check again before you start your procedures for loading. One easy oversight that should either be at the very first of the list before loading is to CLOSE the dump window before putting powder in your scale, that is if you have an auto...

    First .338 hand loads down the tube

    Went out this past weekend and let a buddy of mine finish off the Corbon loaded 300 gr rounds on my new build. The Corbons were the first 20 rounds on the barrel. After he finished up I put my first hand loads down the tube. All loads are on the lower end of loading as these are my first ever...

    Help with Redding dies

    Just got in my new dies this afternoon. Typical initial setup, run the shell holder up, run the die down until it just kisses the shell holder. Took my first 5 pieces of clean fired brass, took a permanent marker and colored the necks and shoulders. Run the first piece of brass up into the...

    Build is finally done

    After waiting a year to get all of the components in and assembled, it is finally built. Loaded up a few mild hand loads this evening. Should be able to go break her in this Saturday. 22 lbs. on the scales. That will probably go up when I replace the NF with a USO and the Harris with an Atlas...

    Inconsistencies with virgin brass and new bullets

    As I am waiting on the rest of the reloading equipment to come in and being the impatient person that I am, I have been working with the gear that is here learning how to use it. So today I decided to take weight and measurements of both Lapua Brass and Berger bullets. All weights are in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Took the two women in my life to the range today

    Took some time off from shooting long guns and took the girlfriend and daughter to the range today for some hand gun action. Neither one had fired a hand gun before so we had a short tutorial regarding hand gun safety and range etiquette before we left the house. It took a bit for the girlfriend...

    New build in the works

    Starting to get all giggity. Got my action on order through the Stiller group buy. Just placed the order for my barrel and for the shocker, Obermeyer had a blank sitting on the shelf waiting to go so hopefully wait time is at a minimal. Think the barrel will get a Fat Bastard matched up to it. A...

    side stepping out of the AR world and getting my feet wet with bolt guns. Starting to gather information on components and would like to get some feed back of personal opinions on what triggers are liked and disliked.

    New Grendel Build Range Report

    Was finally able to make it back out to the range today after receiving my new rounds. Still purchasing manufactured rounds to try and get a feel for what the barrel is going to like and thus far, I haven't been able to figure that out. The break in and original sighting was done with 123 gr...

    Carry case question

    I just picked up a Pelican case to carry one of my guns in as I couldn't find a soft case long enough. Question is, how/what is the best way to pattern the gun and to cut the foam so that it is a clean cut and not jagged edged?
