    Heli hog hunt. Red dot or iorns?

    Re: Heli hog hunt. Red dot or iorns? Red dot for sure. From a Helicopter simulation pad it is hard to hit stationary targets with a red dot. I'd do even worse with irons. Aimpoint gets my vote.

    Bumping shoulders, how do you know?

    Re: Bumping shoulders, how do you know? Here are a few thoughts I'd leave on minimal headspacing bumping. If you are not paying attention to your headspacing, don't bother finding the lands with a specific bullet. Just full size, load the bullet seating to mag length, and go. The shoulder...

    Berger 7mm 180 VLD, Will my 1/9.5 stabilize?

    I've got a 7mm RM that has a 1/9.5 barrel on it. The Berger 180 is saying 1/9 or faster. Opinions on whether I'll see any problems or lack of accuracy? I've ladder tested Bergers 180 hunting VLD at 300 yards and everything looks good so far. I'm loading up another detailed test before I start...

    Ladder testing. *Check out the results*

    I'm running my first ladder test on a 7mm Rem Mag using Berger 180 grain VDLs. It's a Winchester M70 with a light (sporter) 26" barrel. The VDLs are set right on the lands in front of H1000. Fire formed Winchester brass and Federal 215M primers. I'm starting low at 58 grains and working up to 68...

    What's my initial setup cost for .308?

    Re: What's my initial setup cost for .308? I was shooting sub MOA with Hornady Match 68 grain .223 through a varmint AR-15 with a $450 investment in reloading equipment. And with that set up, I loaded 3K of M193 (that was ten rounds, 1.3" at 100) and 2K of 9mm ball that my Glocks loved. I...

    Rifle Scopes QD rings for precision?

    Re: QD rings for precision? I have a LT-104 with Sightron glass on a Varmint AR-15 and it returns to zero so well, I can't tell any change in POI after removing/ replacing it multiple times. Same with a LT-150 but it is just on a 14.5" carbine. If I was to put up the money for QD rings, I'd...

    MA-TEN vs Armalite

    Re: MA-TEN vs Armalite +1 for Rainier Arms. I'm building a .308 and 5.56 Mega Mono upper/ billet lowers for a buddy. The 18" UltraMatch barrel is being dimpled and shipped by RA now. Those uppers are really freaking light. You have to pick one up to even begin to understand how light they are.
