    Sidearms & Scatterguns My first Glock, maybe.

    I have become fond of communing with nature while carrying a carbine and a sidearm humping a crap ton of ammo at a full sprint in the Oklahoma summer. Been doing it with a 1911 and I am getting sick of carrying all the mags I need to keep the thing fed. So, I am ready to break down and buy me a...

    Hornady Match 168 and CFE

    Caught short again. No time to do any testing due to my forgetful head. Anyone used the CFE with the Hornady 168 Match yet? If not I'll be OK, but would love to have nice area to look at when I start loading this evening.

    Gas Gun pressure signs

    I have reloaded for a very long time, but never for a gas gun. I have three AR's and a FNAR now and have just been loading on the cautious side. The FNAR and one of the AR's have a node on the high side of published data. I would like to explore this a bit more but caution forbids it until I...

    Scale holding zero.

    I own a Lyman 1500 scale. I set it up and turned it on yesterday morning. This evening I ran through the calibration and then zeroed it. I started loading rounds for a ladder test on three different 223's. Thirteen rounds per gun were loaded for a total of 39 rounds. It took me about an...

    Rifle Scopes FNAR 20 MOA options

    Vortex PST 4x16 going on top of a FNAR. The mounted rail on the FNAR is radiused to fit the receiver so a flat rail is not an option as a replacement and I do not what the radius is to try one made for a different firearm. My Google and forum searches have not led me to an obvious option of...

    Lock n Load inserts

    I ordered a Hornady Lock N Load conversion for my Rockchucker. I was wondering about the repeatability of dies mounted in the LnL bushings?

    Rifle Scopes The MIL learning curve.

    How steep is the Mil dot learning curve? MOA/MOA is intuitive to me as that is what I have grown up with, but it is just a way to measure. I am about to drop some cash on another new scope. I want to buy a Mil/Mil. For an old fart would you suggest sticking with what I know or living a...

    Hunting & Fishing 223 69g SMK

    I have some 69g SMK's shooting quite nicely out of a pair of RRA's. Is the performance on game similiar to that of there larger caliber brothers? I feel very confident about putting them where they need to be. The largest thing they will be used on is Oklahoma deer with a top end live weight...

    Powder restocking

    I have reloaded for quite some time, but it has always been pistol calibers. I have 650 set up now for both 223 and 308's now. I'll be headed up to Powder Valley this weekend and would like a suggestion on some powders to buy. I am currently planning on buying some Varget, RL-15, CFE, and...
