    Been out of the 'game' for a couple years. What would you build?

    My daughter was born 2 years ago and as a result shooting has kind of taken a back seat. But I've had a bit of an itch I'd like to scratch (possibly). I know stuff changes in the industry pretty regularly so the information that I had 2 years ago when I was following this stuff is probably out...

    My little Savage A17 project...

    Got the custom stock from Boyd's yesterday, only took about 2 weeks from time of order to my doorstep. Changed out the cheap plastic charging handle for a metal one, threw the Harris on there, a rail and the NF scope from my big gun which I don't shoot much anymore. Bedded the tang and recoil...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Recommendations for .38 spl plinkers-NOT TULammo

    So I picked up some TulAmmo steel cased 38 spl of course super cheap, 1,500 rounds. I was looking for something to practice shooting from the hip and other defensive shooting scenarios. I loaded 5 up into the cylinder of my 340pd and they felt like a .357 almost. All 5 cases were stuck in the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 340PD Who's got one, what to expect?

    My 340pd no-lock just shipped and I'm elated. I've heard not to use lead cast bullets as the recoil can unseat them causing a jam, so I will heed that. Also not to use less than 120gr bullets, as indicated on the barrel. Anything else that I might not expect to find? I'm anticipating...

    Maggie’s Screw it, get the hacksaw...

    Mods feel free to move if this isn't in the appropriate section. I think there was a shotgun section years back but wasn't able to find it before posting... Anyhooo... So I bought this absurd 10 gauge sxs shotgun that is in great shape, especially for an old gun. Only issue is it (was)...

    ELD-X 162 in 7mm Mag

    Is anyone else having trouble getting these to shoot? I've tried 6 different COALs and powder charge combinations and none were anything to write home about, most were laughable. I'm talking 5-6" groups at times. For giggles I went back to the few Berger 168's I had and 5 shot groups were around...

    Can someone bring me up to speed

    I've been a member of SH since years before it was under the Scout name. I admittedly dropped off not long after the Scout thing happened, and went back here to see what was going on and I feel like I've stepped into a new realm! Did I miss something? I don't see the Scout name anywhere, and...

    Hunting & Fishing LTB: Remington 700 Mountain LSS in .260 Remington

    If you have one, please PM. I am looking for one of these. A bit specific, I know. But, it's what I want. Thanks.

    Range Report Can velocity compensate for twist rate?

    Intuitively, one would think that if a barrel's twist rate was on the edge of being too slow, that running the projo to the highest velocity possible would help compensate by increasing the spin/time ratio. However, during a range discussion with a fellow shooter, I was told that velocity does...

    Range Report 140 Hybrid vs 140 VLD 6.5 Berger Target Bullets

    A couple weeks ago I went to the range and had some Berger Target VLD 140's and some Target Hybrid 140's loaded in Lapua brass and to the same charge weight with the same lot of H4350. Some brass was once fired and some was new and some of the hybrids were CCI BR2 primers whereas the VLD's were...

    DONE with H4350

    Well, I bought into the hype about H4350 a while back. 'Extreme,' they said. Loaded up my .260 with 42.8gr sending a 139 Scenar at 2850 fps downrange this weekend yielded four blown primers and cost me one ejector spring. This is a load that worked well in other climates but apparently due to...

    Tactical Shampoo/Conditioner

    Does anyone know where I can find some of this? I was going to install a quad-rail on my head and shoulders bottle so I could have a QD conditioner bottle but my gf says I'm an idiot and Head and Shoulders is already a shampoo and conditioner in one. I told her that was heresy and any...

    SUBS with large case volume

    Ok, so finding no information on Cor-Bon's magic 338 LM subsonic load, and the fact that loading large cases to subsonic velocities is dangerous due to the likelihood of a detonation/explosion, how hard would it be to make special brass for large calibers with a decreased internal case volume...

    DTA SRS - Talk me out of being scared of a bullpup...

    Ok, maybe I'm a little too ornery... But, bullpups scare the hell out of me. I know that there shouldn't be any issue with my reloads or factory ammo... but I do read of guns blowing up. the thing is, most of these shooters are 100% ok after this happens... aside from some ego damage...

    Idea - variable length barrels

    I know Frank from Bartlein visits this site-maybe he can help.. has this been done before? Variable length barrel-hear me out... Cut a barrel as you normally would... 33" blank or whatever. But at a certain point, cut it again and thread both pieces. Shooting ELR? no problem, let me...

    Good powder thrower/scale combo

    So after a few years playing with the Gempro 250, I am getting tired of hand weighing each charge and think I'm ready to take the plunge into an automatic powder dispenser/scale combo. Please forgive my ignorance on the topic-I haven't studied or googled much. This is because I know the Hide...

    7MM RM wiith 6.5mm boolit

    I'm not going to build one anytime soon or anything and I'm sure it's been done. What's it called and do any hide members shoot one? Seems like it would be a cool round not unlike the new 26 nosler but with beaucoup brass availability and not much difficulty to neck down. Does anyone know the...

    Night Vision After Dark Predator Control

    I have a two part question. I know only one part belongs in the NV forum but figured that the guys posting here would be able to answer both by association. I am moving to a rural location in Florida on 10 acres. Completely stoked about the whole thing. Only issue is the locals tell me the...
