    Please please please help. brass stretching too much.

    Straight to the point. I have begun collecting brass to start reloading for .223 to shoot in my AR15. I am new to reloading, but I have read enough and watched people enough to feel comfortable doing it myself. I went out and bought an RCBS small base .223/5.56 die set. I set it up just like...

    Rifle Scopes Just me venting about my inability to make decisions

    Right now is one of those times I wish I had more friends that are involved in the shooting sports. I'm having a terribly difficult time deciding if I should purchase an Aimpoint H-1 or Eotech 516. I'm well aware of the pros and cons of both, and just wish I had some friends that owned both...

    Hey guys. Since I'm still new to this whole LR shooting thing, I don't know of the best places to go to get great deals on equipment. I'm going to start reloading for my rifle and I'm curious where you all prefer to shop for your bullets.

    shooting glasses?

    Hey folks. I've recently been shooting a lot of steel with pistol and rifle, and have been relying on standard safety glasses as eye protection. Not only do they not look cool, I'm not sure if they are recommended for shooting. Does anybody have any suggestions of shooting glasses I can take a...

    anybody have experience with a big bore AR?

    I'm contemplating buying an AR in 458 socom, 50 beowulf, or 450 bushmaster. Does anybody have first hand experience with one of these? So far my biggest problem is the lack of factory ammo AVAILABLE for any of the caliber. I can't seem to find any. Not that I wouldn't mind reloading. Just...

    Range Report HSM Ammo will not group.

    I have the tools to reload. But I bought a bunch of HSM 260 ammo loaded with 142 smk to shoot so I have fire formed brass to use when I start loading. My first range trip the ammo WOULD NOT group. And just this weekend my first 5 shots grouped at 1moa (which I feel was acceptable for the price I...

    dry fire practice . . .

    Howdy folks. I will be picking up my "custom R700" soon. With winter right around around the corner, I was wondering if anybody on here would like to share some of their dry fire exercises with me? I will still be shooting in the winter, just not nearly as much. Any thoughts/recommendations...

    mini red dot mounted way out front???

    Howdy folks. I had my AR configured the way I THOUGHT I would like it. Problem is, it weighs every bit of 10lbs, and that isn't gonna cut it. So I plan on shaving some weight by taking off my variable power scope and replacing it with a mini red dot. Trijicon RMR, Leupold delta, Burris fast...

    The foreseeable future of the 300 aac blackout?

    I am seriously considering converting my defensive carbine (S&W MP15) to the heavy hitting 300 blackout. I pieced together my rifle for engagements inside of 200 yds. Which I feel (from what I've read) the Blackout is capable of handling accurately. I have 2 questions. Do you folks think I...

    Anybody using RL22 for 260 rem?

    I just bought 2 lbs of sealed RL22 from a friend of mine, and noticed it is listed in some manuals. Was wondering if any person here settled on a final load using this powder in a 260 REM. Thanks.

    Load development question. bullets

    I am going to be starting load development for a "custom" 260. My question: should I start by just buying a box of 100 bullets or should I try and save a few bucks and buy a larger amount at one time? I understand that some bullets can be finicky, and its kinda like rolling the dice. Just wanted...

    best way to display firearms.

    I have a small collection of firearms including pistols and long guns, and I wanted to hang them on a wall to display them, but I'm just not sure as to the best way to go about it. Is there anybody else that has done this, and what hardware did you use to hang them? The room is not in view from...

    higher BC or higher MV?

    When I start loading for my 260 to shoot in tac matches, should I Chase after higher MV or higher BC bullets. Is the ~.510 bc of the 123 scenars that much of a disadvantage up against the ~.580 of the 139 scenars? (Or whatever the actual bc is of those bullets)

    Range Report The .280 sucks . . . ?

    I have recently become infatuated with .284 bullets. They really seem like they are the cat's meow. I have made the decision that my next build will be a 7mm of some sort, for "tactical" match shooting. I like the 7mm-08 but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get the speeds I want (~2800 fps)...

    I finally found the scope I would like. It has an awesome moa based reticle (their xlr reticle) there is one major problem with the scope. The elevation turrets are in 1/2moa adjustments, which I'm concerned about. I emailed them and asked if there is a way for them to "customize" the scope and...

    mixing powders ?!?!

    Being the epitome of a novice in the reloading hobby, I didn't have much of a rebuttal for a man I had a conversation with. He CLAIMS, he has had great success mixing slow burning powder with fast burning powder. "What I did, was follow the reloading recipe in my books, but mixed 1/4 of the...
