    What is your ideal shooting range ?

    Your Poor is showing if you're living where it gets cold enough to require HVAC to shoot LR.

    Precision Light Weight Mountain Rifles - Picture Thread

    Here's some inspiration. Lots of liberties taken with the term "lightweight:" https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/lightweight-hunting-rifles.6881011/

    What is your ideal shooting range ?

    Family bought this too. Benches added for the older folks who no longer appreciate getting down on the ground (and having to get back up). Steel 200 to 1575yd

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Volumetric powder measures can get you by. Print out this table and you'll do well enough for TEOTWAWKI, assuming you're not like the poor sods who haven't any primers. Alternatively, 12v battery/inverter or UPS and a PV panel go pretty far towards running low-power balances/scales. I'd like...

    What is your ideal shooting range ?

    I guess it's not my "Ideal," but it's worth what I paid for it ($0.00):

    WW II Veteran home burns in Tennessee

    Sent a letter. I hope he gets his house back.

    Made a rear bag...

    That's pretty much how I got mine sorted out. I eventually found some of that injection moulding poly bead material and swapped out the beans, mostly because it was lighter and not likely to rot/germinate if I got caught in the rain.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    I've been fabbing up someone's science project. I gather it's some sort of heat exchanger. It's been a few different design revisions along the way, and I only ruined a couple parts when the copper grabbed onto the cutting tool and it wrenched it out of the fixture, so I count that as a win...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Very nice. That photo makes me nervous as hell though. I see an open flame annealer in a room with ~100lb of powder stored out in the open, and presumable a pile of primers too. I do not see a fire extinguisher either. I anneal brass with an induction annealer ,but I still keep powder and...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I secured another 2 barrels' worth of projectiles at a fantastic price (given the times), so I loaded some up for the local club match in a couple weeks:

    Made a rear bag...

    Double layer of canvas, with a thin sheet of PTFE and "heavy duty" aluminum foil quilted together. I didn't trust any other synthetic materials (besides Kevlar $$$) not to melt and stick. Intended for bolt-gun operation only. No 10" AR mag dumps. Really only intended to keep the mirage down...

    How about a quality Remington Walker? haha. Otherwise Jewells have done everything I've needed.

    Made a rear bag...

    That looks great. Thanks for sharing. Did you design off an existing product or just wing it? I've stitched some together myself. This is actually my second rear bag. The first one lasted me about 8 years before the seams blew out. They can take a bit of time to fab from scratch, but if...

    Jury Nullification and Anal Sex - a case study

    It's the guy's fault. He should have plowed his gf/wife in the ass, and only the ass, from day 1. It's his fault for generating a child, how the mother raises the kid is immaterial, he should have known better.

    Different types of hunting rifle setups? Tell me about yours!

    Not going to win any awards for deepest pockets here, but this is my $300 knockabout bunny gun (16" .223Rem). I wonder if I can flute out 9.1oz... FWIW it's legal in my state for elk and smaller too. 🤫 😁

    22CM vs 6CM for prs/nrl style shooting?

    You migt consider Bartlein's 400MODBB barrel material to extend the barrel life. While you're at it, I'd spec a slightly slower twist and maybe a looser .219" bore if you want to push the heavies to 3200. While you're waiting, the prices might come down on your components. I wouldn't worry...
