    New gun problem?

    Re: New gun problem? The ammo turned out to be the problem. The brass was getting stuck and there was a curious yellow band around the exact center of the cartridge. I'm wondering if the brass was the problem because it is only on my HSM brand brass that the cartridges are getting stuck...

    Rifle Scopes 35mm scope rings

    Does anyone know where I could find a set of quality 35mm scope rings that will withstand the recoil of 50 bmg that are NOT at an MOA slope? (My scope and rings sit on a Mccann MIRS mount so I don't need the slope)

    Re: New gun problem? The brass shows no scratches, and the problem seems to be resolving itself the more the weapon is shot. The loads are factory Hornady 250gr BTHP's.

    Good or Bad Idea?

    I just bought a Rremington MLR in .338 lapua magnum. I did this with very little research, I had to special order the weapon from the dealer, and he said to ask around to see what others thought of the quality of the weapon, but the dealer keeps a constant supply of ammo and I handload as...

    I'm looking for a good rifle

    Re: I'm looking for a good rifle I'm looking to hunt hogs with a friend. He's got a bolt-action Remington 700 in .308. I'll be using the weapon at ranges greater than 400 yds, and hopefully be handloading my own ammo with him.

    I'm looking for a good rifle

    Hello, I'm looking for a good semi-auto accurate rifle in .308, much like the DPMS LR-308 or Armalite ar-10t. I have quite a few questions that I'm not sure what the answers are. My budget right now sits at $1400-$1600 for just the rifle. What would the best choice for a semi-auto .308 be on...
