    Help with powder option?

    New to reloading and waiting for all my stuff to arrive. It seems to me that powder locally is a bit hard to find and since I don't want to get caught without powder I was going to grab a pound or two online so I can at least have something to start with. I'm waiting for my Sierra and Hornady...

    Range Report Kestrel w/ Applied Ballistics vs Ballistic: AE on Iphone w/ Kestrel

    I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out which setup to go with. Mostly only shooting out to 400 yards, but am hoping to at least double that at some point....if so figure most i'd get to shoot that far is 2 or 3 times a year. The savings is pretty significant. Almost $300 cheaper going with the...

    Someone just drove into my neighbor's home

    Yep, 11:30pm Sunday night. Heard screeching and then a bang. Ran outside with flashlight and saw part of their fence down...didn't see the car, until I realized it was partially through the side of neighbors garage wall. Driver was ok, definitely in shock. Just kept saying he was sorry and his...

    Horrible accuracy with custom SR-25. Help!

    I'm about to give up! Had this built and it just doesn't seem to shoot. I had a guy who specializes in KAC guns put the upper together for me. I'm only shooting FGMM 168gr and Remington Premier 168gr. It does it with either ammo. Same lots of ammo are tack drivers in my FN SPR (target on the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor Gen II HD 4.5-27x56mm - Photo Shoot

    Just picked up mine locally and since I have no rifle yet to mount it on I figured i'd bust out the gear and get some shots of it. So far my impressions are: - Weight - Heavy, compared to my other scopes i've owned. I don't feel that is a negative. It's nice to know I can club someone with...

    Hope I made the right choice.....build thread.

    I've got the urge for a 308 bolt gun. I want to do a nice quality setup, but at a price point under $3k for the whole thing. I was able to come in just under that and keep $30 in my pocket. I've had a few R700s with my last one being a 20" in a ACIS chassis with a Timney trigger. After looking...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for SR-25 opinions

    So i'm waiting for my upper to come back after it's built. From there I need a mount and optic. I'd like to say I will shoot out to 1,000 yards, but the reality is I will have access to a 400 yard range. If I do shoot at longer distances, it wouldn't be often, maybe once or twice a year. I'm...

    SR-25 build - First 308 AR

    So i got very lucky and scored a pre-ban Knights SR-25 receiver set yesterday. Here in CT we're kinda screwed on the AR front. Trying to read up and learn all I can so I make the right decisions off the bat. After hours of research this is where i'm at. Upper: Barrel: 16" rifle length gas...no...

    Bottom metal setup scratches casings?

    This may be really stupid, but it's late and i'm tired and trying to figure this out. I just scored a Remington 700 with a Wyatts detachable mag setup. If I feed in a round manually (just place a round in the ejection port with an empty magazine in) the case is fine. If I strip a round from the...

    I am grabbing this tonight without a scope, base, or rings. I'm going to go with a Leupold one piece base...probably a 20MOA. Going to grab Burris Xtreme Tactical rings too. Now scope choice. I had an SWFA 5-20x50 illuminated on my old rifle and am leaning towards another, except not...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Armory XDs .45 -Photo intense

    Just picked mine up tonight after thinking about it overnight. It was between this and an M&P Shield 9mm. Since I already had the PPS I felt the XDs was one I had to try. To carry such a small .45 Auto is great! I've ordered my HarWell holster from his store on Ebay. I'm impressed so far just...

    Help with a Pre-ban SA M1A

    I'm considering picking this up. He is asking $1,600 and said he will include a 140 rd battle pack as well. I would need a pre-ban for an EBR chassis if I decided to do one in this lovely state. What's your take on these from this time period? Worth the price? I know the guy from a local board...

    First attempt at Kydex

    After waiting a couple months for my Raven holster I decided to try my hand at making my own kydex rigs. I gathered everything I needed, made a press, and got to it. This first holster I did for my M&P9. It took almost 7 hours from beginning to end but it is really nice! I just need to change...

    HELP understanding scope hold over and adjustments

    So I have a question I hope you can answer and i'm trying to understand. Lets say I sight in and get my 100 yard zero. Do you reset the turrets so they both read zero after you sight in at 100 yards or do you leave them at whatever numbers they are at? Now lets say I want to shoot at a 400...
