    Rifle Case/Bag Recommendation Needed

    I have the voodoo bag for my 26 inch r 700; aics chassis, scope, etc, and it carries a little nose down even with the bipod off. If I grab the handles at the very front it seem to level out. It's very well made, zipper is rugged and lots of pockets.

    Winchester primers vs. CCI-200 primers as indicator of pressure in 308/7.62

    There was a period not too long ago, where they were only ones I could find. (At the local Big 5, no less). And I have experienced a few FTF with these primers. I've reloaded with both CCI and Federal with less problems.

    What reloading equipment to purchase

    Ok, this is/was my journey into reloading. As far as a press goes, I started reloading .45acp with a Lee Classic Turret and Lee dies, after I gained enough confidence I moved into reloading the 9mm. The 9mm cartridge is a little more finicky then the .45acp. I also started reloading 223 on the...

    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    This, I started reloading .45acp, so I could shoot more. So, reloading 223/308, was a natural progression for me. It's a fun part of the hobby, but I'm retired and have the time for it. Plus it's adds a little more satisfaction to the shooting experience. Enjoy
