    Help with new brass in .257 Roberts cracking

    I bought 300 pcs of Winchester 22-250 brass back in 2019. Many of the cases looked exactly like your pictures. I took a photo of the brass and a photo of the bags showing the lot number and contacted winchester. They refunded my money. And now I'll look for just about any other brand. Worst...

    Otto noisebarrier question

    I have the Ottos and I think they would work well for your needs. They are comfortable for long term wear so long as you get the Comply ear tips. I keep them in for multi hour range trips and being able to communicate yet protect my hearing has been a gamechanger for me. That said, the cheap...

    Rifle Competition Events Steel Safari 2021

    Based on the terrain in the photos it looks like a lot of the shots are going to be angled down. Is that a fair assessment? One week out. Really looking forward this. Brian

    Rumor?? 6.5 Creedmoor Starline Small Rifle Primer Brass DISCONTINUED?

    Well over 2800 rounds using Starline and Lapua SRP brass in my 6.5 Creedmoor with no issues. H4350 and CCI450 is my current load but also used Fed 205s because I had them when I started and didn't know I was "supposed" to use 450s. I'll stick with SRP brass when I buy the next batch once I...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    I would say the red comply tips are a good place to start. I use them and have to squeeze them down pretty tightly to insert into the ear canal. They expand out and seal really well and are comfortable. Worst case is you have to go back and buy the larger size but for the comfort I'd try the...

    Tripod setup for field matches

    I used the setup in my above photo in the TN NRL Hunter match. It worked well both standing and kneeling positions and any misses were not the fault of the setup. 100% on the shooter. That rifle is a 6.5x55 hunting rifle and I received several thumbs up from ROs when they saw it was a top...

    Rifle Competition Events Steel Safari 2021

    Question for those who have shot at Blue Steel Ranch. I plan to get there early enough the day before the match to check my zero. What kind of sight in range is available and out to what distance are targets set?

    Rifle Competition Events Tennessee Long Hunter Challenge (NRLHunter)

    From my perspective a 2 day match is never going to be cheap but there are ways it can be less expensive for example if it's local to you and you can stay at your own home or like for this one camping on site was an option to avoid hotel costs. I chose to camp at the Hampton Inn because it...

    Pre '64 receiver for custom build?

    A pre '64 Win Model 70 is a classic but it wouldn't be my first choice for a light weight build. I have 6 of them, some factory configuration and some are full custom and they are not featherweights. But then my opinion is a Model 70 screams for a wooden stock. You know the old saying about...

    Tripod setup for field matches

    Full size gamechanger on top of my Anvil 30 works well for me too. I found it really stable this way and was engaging targets out to 500 yds. This is the setup I'll be experimenting with at the upcoming NRL Hunter match.

    Thoughts on starline 260 brass?

    I'm on my 10th loading of my Starline 6.5 Creedmoor brass for my T3X. It's performed very well in competitions and for practice. I just ordered 400 pcs of Starline 6mm Creedmoor for when I rebarrel my other rifle.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Harry_19, My factory 6.5 CM barrel on my T3X TAC A1 is getting a little long in the tooth and I'll be looking to replace it soon. Does the barrel nut from International Barrels fit under the collar which the handguard attaches to? I haven't recently taken the handguard off to measure the...

    Super cheap lighter rifle and scope for comps/field courses...am I crazy?

    I think these are a great deal. I have a Bushnell Elite tactical and a Vortex Razor Gen II. The DMR II isn't in the class of the Razor but still a very nice scope. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020586712?pid=144123

    Best binocular tripod adapter?

    Shout out for the Outdoorsmans binocular adapter. There are a lot of options and many were cheaper but I am totally impressed with this one. I have the Vortex Fury AB binos and Outdoorsmans recommended the tall adapter and the universal stud. This setup is very solid. I bought an inexpensive...
