    How long do stored primers last?

    I read an article where a guy was trying to dispose of old primers and he tried all kinds of things to make them inert including dousing in water, oil, etc. Nothing worked. The primer manufacturers are laughing at the thought of all of us handling primers with autoclaved tools and nitrile...

    So for rings I can buy the same rings I have just in the taller size or do you guys have some suggestions for others that you like? Current rings are the Vortex Precision Matched 30mm (low) I think they're around $120 a pair. They look good, but I wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if it...

    Rifle Scopes New to this...need to raise scope 1/4" or so...suggestions?

    I just put an XLR Carbon chassis on my Savage FCP-K and the objective end of the scope won't clear the hand guard. It needs 1/4" or a hair more. I have a EGW HD Savage 0 MOA aluminum base on there now and Vortex Precision Matched Rings. I do own the same base in a 20 MOA model, but I'll...

    Who wants to help me pick out my next dog.

    The best dogs we've had have been Rotties. Males. From the time my kids were infants we had one around and it was like they were programmed to know what to do around kids and strangers. First one I Schutzhund trained which was a great bonding experience for the dog and myself. Second one was...

    So what brand chronograph is the hide favorite?

    It's not available yet. It will not pick up other shooters (they explain this in the FAQ) It can be used with an iPhone, iPad or iPod I assume to place it down range if you're not looking for muzzle velocity. It appears to be very flexible without any of the downsides some of the others have.

    Yup...local guy called me and I bought a case of Varget at $24/pound. I shared the wealth with some local friends who now love me more than they did before.

    Since I can't find Forster dies...Whidden questions

    Spoke to them. Nothing for 2 months in .308. What they got in were backorder sales that went out the next day. Found one seater in Nova Scotia, but shipping was $29.

    Since I can't find Forster dies...Whidden questions

    Thanks, Whidden offers bushing FL resizing dies now. I may just order a set as my old RCBS dies have seen better days.

    Since I can't find Forster dies...Whidden questions

    I've tried for 2 weeks to find a Forster bump die and Ultra seater. No one has them and Forster says 2 months or more until they have more available. So...I'm looking at Whidden dies. He doesn't make a "bump" die, but I'm reading that he includes a bump gauge so it sounds like the Whidden dies...
