I made an order at SWFA. The total came up to be $149.97 including shipping and handling. SWFA charged $149.97 to my credit card first, then SWFA charged my credit card again for $11.77 (amount for shipping and handling). This is charge is completely unauthorized. If I didn't look through my...

I recently bought a Zeiss conquest 3.5-10x44mm Z800 rifle scope, hoping to gain another 10 or 15 minutes hunting time dusk or dawn. I heard good things about conquest line's low light performance I was surprised that it came literally wrapped in paper, not even packed in plastic bags. But let's...

Hi there, I am working on a 5.56 load on my Daniel Defense M4 carbine. I found SMK 77gr, 24.8gr TAC, LC 10 brass, COAL=2.25 give me the best 5 shot groups right now. It is about 0.8 MOA at 100yd. But the standard deviation of velocity is about 12-15 fps, which I would like to reduce. I do use...

Hi there, I have been testing the water of target shooting with a Howa 308 varmint and a M70 300WSM. Both are in factory configuration. They are good rifles for the money, but have severe limitations. In the case of Howa, it has very limited after market accessory support. I recently found that...

Hi there, I am considering the Razor 5-20X50 HD scope. It will be on a 300WM and I plan to take it as far as I can. I am undecided about EBR-2 or EBR-2B reticles. I can see EBR-2B reticle has thicker lines and dots than the EBR-2, but it is hard to decide without looking at long distance...

I always thought SMK 80gr has to be loaded to COAL of 2.55", according to several reloading manuals and Sierra reload data. But when I read Ramshot reloading manul, http://www.ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ramshot_handgun_rifle.pdf I found, TAC 80 SIE HPBT 23.2 2,638 25.8 2,903...

Hi there, I mounted a PST 6-24X in a pair Burris Xtreme Tactical rings on a Howa 308. The gun came with a EGW 0 MOA base. After sighting in at 100yd, there is only 5.5 mil left going up in elevation, about 14.5 mil left going down. I checked the EGW base and believe it is mounted properly...

Do you find FFP useful on a 1-4X or 1-6X scope? The reticle feature such as mil-dot is hard to see at lower power. I think SFP reticle calibrated at max power is sufficient.

Hi there, I need some help choosing these scopes. This will be for my upcoming 300WM build. My goal is to shoot it to 1200 yd. I shoot in So Cal, and mirage can get really bad. I have narrowed it down to PST 6-24X50 FFP or SSHD 5-20X50. The PST is cheaper. I have one on order for $900 for a...

Guys, I need to buy some RAMSHOT TAC powder. Does anyone know where I can get it in SoCal? Thanks a lot. Kevin

Hi there, I recently bought a M70 Ultimate Shadow rifle in 300WSM. This will be my elk gun. I had good experience with EGW 20MOA base and Burris XTR rings on my 308 target rifle. Both are made of aluminum. Since 300WSM generates stronger recoil than 308, and hunting rifle is subjected to...
