I really enjoy the SWFA scopes (I have 4 different models) and would love for them to make a spotting scope. A simple design much like their optics; thinking of a Bushnell Spacemaster type with the rubber outer but with a SWFA FFP mil type reticle. Maybe like their scope lineup, they offer the...

Took ownership of my new Giraud annealer (thanks to the Hide for the recommendation and insight) and tested it on some .223 brass. The outside of the neck shoulder area is not dark in color, just a blend of brownish red that fades slightly into the rest of the brass. I suppose I can try it on...

My AR10's load is dialed in with the following formula: Winchester brass 175g SMK CCI 200 primer 43.5g of Varget 2.797 COAL Sub 1/2MOA grouping 100 yards, 1/4MOA if I do my job (still need much more practice). I would like to start using mixed head stamp 308 brass (so I can practice...

I read and read and read this weekend. Checked links from military sites providing reviews and pics, but need help. I'm looking to build a long term good quality cold weather setup that is modular (layers). I will be using this "system" for shooting in a variety of environments (range, field...

I always wanted an AR10 style rifle. Almost this time last year, Dave Branson from BB Shooting hosted a group buy and jumped on the opportunity. This isn't my first AR as I built my own .223 and have been shooting that non-stop (I reload), but wanted something "heavier". Dave guided me...

I often take a look through this particular forum to see how the technology improves and to marvel at the expense of your optics. How effective is the near infrared tech clothing? I was Google'ing rain gear in multicam and read about the ECWCS system and was curious what it looks like through...

Searching through previous topics on this site yielded some direction to use side mounted flush cups. Please help me choose the correct components based on the following: - Semi auto rifle with a keymod free float tube. I have extra picatinny rails to use if necessary. - I would like to...

I cam across about 150 pieces of .50 cal brass with the following headstamps: LK 88, LC 4, SL45. A search indicated that two of these are from the '40s and one from the '80s, but am I correct? The brass appears to be once fired due to the primer crimps, but not a .50 reloader and would...

I picked up 500 cases of 30-06 brass through a multi caliber trade and don't have any use for them. Told they are once fired, but how would one tell? Characteristics, neck thickness, etc.. Trying to use this trade as a learning experience. Lastly, What would be a fair way to trade these...

Last week, I reloaded my first ammo and took 3 shots down range (first one single in a mag, loaded 2 in a mag and fired). I was cautious because this was my very first time reloading ammo and just in case I really screwed up in the process and it blew up. I have the Lee Classic Turret and dies...

I turn to the hide, of course, for gear review and opinions. I currently have a set of the OR Mitts with removable liners and love them However, I wanted a mitt that had a trigger finger and the OR even has the flip over mitt covers. The mitt in question: Does anyone have any...

I'm having cheek weld consistency problems on my AR. Actually, I don't have any weld since I have to "float" my face a bit to be able to see through the scope. My platform: - AR15 rifle - Vltor IMOD clubfoot stock - Burris Pepr Qd mount - SS10x42 scope Thinking of building up a riser with...

I shoot my .223 AR with only Magpul MBUS flip sites. My targets are 10" steel plates ranging from 100 yards out to 200 yards. I can consistently hit 100 yard plates (I shoot off hand/standing or kneeling on one knee) but when I shoot for 200 yards, not so good. When I line up the front...

Wanted to introduce myself as a new member and as a shooter with limited experience, this forum is a vast wealth of knowledge. I'm a member of the CJRPC and interested in developing proper skills in marksmanship, reloading, and hoping, one day, to shoot for distance. Best regards, Jay
