    Reloading press advise

    I felt that way once. Just get a simple Lee single stage press, and simply start with just getting your feet wet. You'll have fun doing it and things will start to make a lot more sense. THEN, you will know what you want and know where to put your money. Besides, you will never have more fun...

    Leupold Mark 4 spotting scope

    Don't feel bad. It's happened to me a few times in the past. I just wait until a high traffic time of day (or at least what time I think it would be) to post my thread. Though, I don't really post much at TheHide. I've only recently taken the plunge into the precision rifle craft so I mostly...

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    "what the heck!" is right. If you're not able to do some mid-range comps before then, you should still shoot this HP comp regardless. It would be a valuable opportunity to gain some valuable experience. Even if you don't finish very high on the leaderboard, you'll might still walk away having...

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    Huuummm. Personally, I find record keeping and data collection to be a nerdy fixation of mine that I enjoy. Am I in the minority of shooters who don't just log every single tiny detail for every single step of the precision process because they have to, but because they enjoy it? Beyond question...

    F T/R Competition Intro to F-class and Highpower NRA competition in Houston, TX.

    I now have it saved to my calendar with reminders should I forget (though I doubt I will). I haven't been a member of Bayou Rifles for all that long, but have really enjoyed the folks that I have met during cold-range breaks. Still, I haven't had the pleasure to really sit down and really meet...

    Beginner looking for information and advice

    It may be broad and generic but you could loook into NRA High Power Matches. To my knowledge, they generally have matches in all (or at least most) states and the rules seem pretty standardized. I haven't gotten to a point where I can reasonably compete just yet so I don't have personal...

    Rings and mount advice

    ashih313 summed just about summed it up. To expand a bit further, I've included two links, both of which are excellent sources for info on rings and bases. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/showthread.php?t=30721...

    Figuring Proper Bullet Seating depth into the Lands by chambering loose bullet

    Instead of using the forum search function, do a Google search using this as your search string: site:snipershide.com "your search" The " "s are optional, of course. They simply tell Google to search for instances of that exact phrase only, rather than the individual words themselves. By...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A sniper's "best" side-arm/weapon.

    I love Milk Duds but they always go straight to my hips. I'll just have a diet coke.

    Rifle Scopes In need of some help deciding on a scope.

    In IMO only, if you're expected distances are only going to be 100yd, 200yd, or maybe a little longer later on, then variable with a max 10x magnification should handle all of your needs. The money it would cost to move up to a 15x variable could be money better used towards the suppressor. The...

    Gear to Buy & the Irksome Nature of Prepaid Gift Cards

    In lieu of a raise this year, my employer decided to opt for credit/debt gift cards. With having a limited time frame to use these cards before it's value is slowly stolen through service fees, I need to use them toward gear/accessories/ancillary items one might need while developing their...
