    Bullets, not ammo, in carry on luggage?

    Unusual topic here: I’m headed to Africa in 3 weeks to hunt. To gain the favor of my PH and owner of the outfit, I agreed to source him 7mm berger bullets and bring them over for his reloading. I’m at 86 lbs, 2000 7mm 180 hybrids and 1000 30 cal 215 gn hybrids. I’ll put a lot in my luggage...

    Help with size and shape of steel targets

    Hey guys, I need ideas and information about choosing/making steel targets to permanently place on our land. My local range only goes to 540 yds. On Everyday Sniper, Frank has talked about a 0.2 mil tall horizontal bar hanging in front of another steel plate to true rifle trajectory at range...

    Searching for a 308 for training

    The AI may be a great option for me, and it’s been on my list for a while. Just realized the MC is the long action and comes as a 338. On the AI website they don’t even list the ATX, even though Mike High Shooting is selling them. What’s up with that? Does anyone recommend staying with the...

    Searching for a 308 for training

    Thanks for the replies! I remember the website from years ago. Don’t know much about them but from some light searches they look like a serious rig.

    Searching for a 308 for training

    I have a vudoo 22, and I’ve listened to Frank’s podcast on comparing it to larger calibers but it just doesn’t seem the same. The wind to 150 with a 22 may blow it over quite a bit but doesn’t teach me about reading farther down range, wind 30 ft off the ground, etc. I have a tikka 6.5 CM...

    Searching for a 308 for training

    Looking for opinions folks… I’m looking for a 308 bolt gun to help train myself on rifle fundamentals and wind calls. I have some custom rifles but I want to shoot more often with a rifle that is more affected by the wind. I don’t mind buying a quality rifle system, but would I be better off...

    300 PRC update

    Ah, just send one straight up. Prolly be fine... Also, anyone try the cutting edge lazers (200 gr. MAX) on the PRC yet? I'm trying to get these measurements and some info through quickload before I have my barrel chambered and throat cut. It seems the ogive is really far forward on the...

    300 PRC update

    Can someone please share the volume in H2O of a fireformed piece of ADG brass? I can't find that anywhere and haven't chambered my barrel yet. My new ADG brass is 94.0 gn. H2O out of the box.

    300 PRC update

    I put a primer in my virgin ADG brass and found it to hold 94.0 gn H2O. How much more will I get after fire forming?

    300 PRC update

    Hi everyone, Just about to send my parts off to Mile High to get my 300 PRC built. Can someone post what the H2O capacity of once fired ADG brass is coming in at? I've heard hornady brass is around 97 or 99 gn, but some say ADG is more like 93. I'm working with quickload to figure out which...

    9mm upper question

    Hello everyone, I'm new to SH forums, and I have a build question I'm struggling to find parts for a 9mm upper for a new AR-15 build. The lower is a double diamond LE dedicated 9, 9mm hammer, 9mm buffer that apparently takes colt mags. I have read that the upper functions on direct blowback...
