    Case trimming advice

    Re: Case trimming advice I have a Gracy Power Trimmer in .223 http://www.matchprep.com/trimmer.htm It does a great job, pretty much the same as the Giraud, at about half the price, but it's pretty much calibre specific. You can swich calibres, but it's a P.I.T.A. If you only plan to load...

    Power Case trimmers

    Hi, I've had an old Gracy power trimmer set up for .223 for years and love it, but just bought a .308 Win. I guess the Gracy must of spoiled me. Now I shoot way more .223 than .308 so I don't want to change the Gracy's cutter configuration, but sitting down with my old Lyman manual trimmer, hand...

    Another new shooter with R-700 build questions.

    Re: Another new shooter with R-700 build questions. Ok, I loaded up 35rounds with 41gr, 20 rounds with 42gr, and 10 rounds with 43gr. Went to the range and was fairly pleased with the initial results, this is a pleasant shooting little rifle. The Hogue stock isn't the most stable on the bags...

Went ahead and got the threaded barrel just because I might be interested in getting a can for it someday. I've already...

    Realistic Expectations?

    Re: Realistic Expectations? Just how much does the shorter barrel lengths affect .308? I've been looking at a lot of the Remington SPS tactical models, 20" barrel, their standard SPS Varment model is a 26" and the r5 and SPS-AAC are 24", now I like having the option of shooting longer...

    Realistic Expectations?

    Re: Realistic Expectations? Ah, we just misunderstood eachother, I'm not gonna buy the thing. Hell, I was just unemployed for a month, and have just started a new job. It sure was a sweet daydream though! I'll do a lot more looking and daydreaming before I slap down a deposit. My big problem...

    Realistic Expectations?

    Re: Realistic Expectations? Honest to God truth, No, don't have any need for a supressor, or any of this stuff. I'm not military or law enforcement. We don't even have a range in the area longer than 500yds, and I already have an AR that will shoot that farr. So we're talking strictly about...

    Looking for a gun safe

    Re: Looking for a gun safe This old safe was not a gunsafe, it was a fire safe that was in the basement of a building that flooded, it was full of mud when the owner called me to help him clean up. He told me I could have the safe if I would haul it off, so I did. I washed out the mud, dried...

    Realistic Expectations?

    Hi, I'm new here, guess I'm kind of an intermediate shooter, I've been shooting for years, tried many different games from 3 position smallbore to USPSA/IDPA to Highpower to Skeet/Sporting Clays. Have never really excelled at any of them, but I love to shoot! Lately I've been re-discovering...
