So, I'm sitting here with my CMP order form to get my first M1 Garand and I find myself looking ahead to order ammo as well. The simple answer would be to order some HXP M2 from CMP as well, but there's a problem: almost no range in the area (DFW, TX) lets me shoot FMJ rifle rounds, and the ones...

I picked up this Parkerized Loaded Springfield, my first 1911 and first handgun, a few weeks ago after a few weeks of research (i.e. looking at forums and reviews), but I've been so busy with everything I haven't gotten the opportunity to take pics or even shoot it yet until today. I'm going to...

I've been thinking about picking up a Garand from CMP recently, in the Service grade. Any recommendation when it comes to the manufacturer? Any experiences with CMP I should know about, good or bad? Related, I joined the TSRA for my CMP related club requirement and I'm waiting for my card...

I'm going to put up some pictures as soon as I can find my camera, but until then, I'll just describe what's happening. I'm having trouble getting groups anywhere close to 1" at 100 yards. The shots seem to be anywhere around the center with no definite pattern to the flyers - I say flyers...

Hey guys - looking to start reloading and I'm trying to wrap my head around trimming the case and seating the bullet to the correct ogive OAL for my rifle. The whole process in the "Hand Loading for Long Range 3: finding start OAL" for finding the ogive OAL seems pretty easy to follow, except...

I'm looking to get started in reloading soon, and I wanted to look at how much it would cost per round for a small batch (about 200 rounds). At the cost of components from Midway (bullets and brass) and Cabela's (powder and primer, locally so I don't have to pay Hazmat), I come out to about...

Alright, I'm one of those guys who plans far far far ahead into the future. I just got my first rifle (Rem 700 .308 26" barrel), but I know I'm going to want another when I have the cash to pay for it. I want to build from the AR platform, but I don't know whether I want to go with the AR-10 or...

Alright, I've picked out everything for my rifle- scope, base, bipod, etc. except for the ammo. My goal with picking out the ammo is to get an accurate round for about $1/shot that will leave me with some decent brass in case I decide to reload in the future (which I probably will). I've heard...

Anyone know of any ranges in the DFW area over 200 yards? Looking for a place to shoot my new rifle and work up in range through shooting lots of metal down-range. I'm personally on the Fort Worth side, so anything more to the west will probably be better. The only places I've heard of are...

(For the update, scroll to the bottom of my post, or go to the second page) Alright, so I decided to purchase my first rifle. So far, I've come up with a few ideas, but, without much personal experience with firearms in general or with rifles, I wanted to get some advice. My first thought went...
