Looking to get a new powder dispenser. Was looking at the RCBS Matchmaster and the MacDonald V4. Anyone favor one or the other or have something in the general price range they prefer.

I currently use RCBS standard dies for .308. I am planning on upgrading my equipment and thought about getting Matchmaster or Hornady equivalent bushing dies. I have been doing some reading here and elsewhere and it seems that getting consistent neck tension would result in tighter groups. I...

TX III in either the 3.3x18 or 5.5x30; or Nightforce NX8 in 2.5x20 or 4x32. I have only been able to get my hands on the NX8 2.5x20 and really did like it. Not sure if I really need the magnification when even down the road I would rarely attempt to shoot past 1k. The Burris would likely save...

I currently own a Remington 5R in .308. I like it, but am wanting to move up to something better suited for long range. I want something along the same style as my .308 as it is accurate and yet portable enough to hunt with if needed. I have been looking at the 7mm Rem Mag as the 180+ bullets...

I am in the market for a new scope to replace my Sightron S3 which is SFP on my Remmington 700 in 308. I want a FFP scope and I am currently looking at Vortex Razor HD, Nightforce F1, and a few from Leupold. Before I ask a bunch of questions I wanted to do my part and read some various reviews...

I know this is not the place to put it but then I don't see where is the right place. I have used the google custom search engine in the past and up until a few days ago it worked great. Anyone else having problems or can they direct me to a new search engine. Thanks.

I currently load 55gr fmj with 27gr of 748 and use a magnum primer per my speer manual. I been shooting my 308 and run varget in it, wondering if I should switch to varget for both or if anyone is using something else that they might think is better. I like 748 cause it is a ball powder so it...

I have been looking on this site for an app that does ballistics and some basic mildot help. Seen a bunch of them but not sure what is the best for the money. Anyone have one or two they really like?

Was looking to get a chronograph and spend about 200 or less on one. I have read some of the post here and they seem to speak highly of the CED M2 chronograph. I went on Midway to buy one and it didn't get very high reviews. Is this due to a small sample size? Is there another unit that I...

So I just put a timney trigger on my rem700 and when I cycle the bolt the firing pin snaps forward (i.e. to discharge the round). Doesn't always happen, but it is frequent. I will be calling them in the morning, any advice til then?

been reloading some 45s of assorted brass and noticed some of the blazer stuff uses large primers (cci300) and others require small primers. I think it would be fine to use small primers on it but the book only states to use the cci300. This sound okay?

I decided I wanted to free float my barrel. I have a carbine setup atm. To do that I would need a free float hand guard from Troy, DD, yhm ect. As for the gas block I would need a new gas block and a front sight that eather folds or is about to screw on to the gas block. I am not going to be...

Been starting to shoot the ar15 more now and I used to use 55grain fmj pmc ammo. Are there any cheap handloads that u guys use? (barrel is a 1:9 16"). I not going for match accuracy, but don't want crap. thx

I have a m&p15x and was wondering what kind of accuracy I should expect out of this. I am going to have some nice handloads done up for the next trip to the range and was curious what others are getting with a similar rifle and what mods could be done to make it more accurate. Thanks.

I have a RCBS single stage press and a set of 308 dies. I am using virgin brass that has been resized. I am on the bullet seating step now and I have noticed a ring around the top of the bullet once it is seated (my guess is it took to much force to seat it, though it felt like it slipped...

I just picked up a remington 5r in 308 and I am trying to find a good starting load. I have read several post on 308 using the components I have but was wondering if anyone has any data on this gun. I have 168gr A-Max and Varget powder. From what i have read I should have an overall length of...

I got a budget of $400 and want to get a 12g for busting some clays and whatnot. Remington 870 vs Mossburg 500? I assume the difference there is a personal preference. What model of each could I get or is there something else out there in that price range. Thanks.

First, yes I did search info on this topic, but I got a wide variety of powders people used and many of them are not available in my area. I have been shooting 230g lead and plated round nose with unique and was wondering if 231 would be a better choice. Being a ball powder it would meter more...

Looking to shoot 178grain A-max out of a rem 700 5r and was wondering what OAL I should use or how to make it specific to the gun. Book states 2.8inch if I am not mistaken.

Looking to make a do-it-all bolt gun. Mainly will be shooting at 400yrd, but would like to be about to go out to 1k. Looking to spend 2k give or take on a setup. I have basic rcbs reloading equipment already. Remington 5r in 308-1k Burris xtr 6-24 or Sightron S3 6-24 md-800 Burris sig...
