    average cost of getting set up to reload

    $1000-$1500 + 100’s of hours of work and ammo testing....I probably spend 300-400 hours per year.

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope recommendations.

    I havee we the Vortex PST Gen 2 5-25x. I like it. Optics are clear and turrets require some force. It is a nice clear optic to my eyes. I had a Burris XTR 2....not quite as good to my eyes. for long hunting...300 Sherman....I went Meopta Optika6 3-18x FFP MRAD. Capped windage, locking & zero...

    Make Your Case: Long Action as your only rifle

    I see the value in both, but they both have the same issue....put a 6.5 creed, 6 dasher in a short and they work. Put a long throated WSM in ands now you need 3.1”....you are single shot again! With the long....300 win mag, 30-06, all good! 300 RUM with 235’s throated right and NG again! i...

    Which load/depth would you run with?

    I would reshoot 1,5,7. Maybe 3 groups of 5 each. Look for consistency. pretty good loads! These folks talking about your techniques, are they in your reloading room seeing what I cannot? i might respectfully ask what is your neck tension and how do you treat necks??

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why Not an XD?

    I really like the XD’s. I have a slight preference for the S&W M&P 2.0 because they have better stippling, better trigger and a thumb safety. The trigger is really close in shootability. For these reasons, I sold my XD 9, but kept my xd45 5” and added a m&p 40 in 5”.

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope for Mid-Long Range

    Thoughts on filling this role with the Vortex PST Gen ii 5-25x50 with the newest reticle that move the numbers out? Seems like a pretty good choice after scanning some trees at 1000 yds yesterday.

    Rails in fiberglass stocks

    I’ve been looking at adding an ARCA, mlok or picatinney rail to a fiberglass stock. Most bolt on relying on a t nut or big washer on a bolt to hold onto the stock. They seem to generally cut through the shell, leaving your system holding onto foam/fill. Is this solid? What to the longevity of...

    AR15 Build Opinions

    I love AR builds, but yours confuses me 1000yd HD rifle?? I’m out. Have a single purpose. Purpose built rifles more confused rifles suck! To shoot 600+ yards, you want reasonably heavy barrel built by an accuracy guy. WOA and Compass Lake should be your go to suppliers there. You really need...

    Rifle Scopes New Army Reticle, Details Inside

    im sorry, i still don’t get it. I must be an idiot....can someone try to explain? As for the reticle, IMO, the reticle is for speed of engagement and fire adjustment. Am I gonna need 4 miles of wind or oops depending on these 2 scenarios? My guess is some of these lines are to address a 500 yd...

    Has anyone tried the new Jard 3 lever trigger for Savage?

    Well, I got mine. “Ain’t no Triggertech”....it is not that brand, but I like the pull quality about the same as my AR Triggertech. Maybe mine is a unicorn! Mine is set a 12oz with minimal overtravel. I like it. I really want it at 1lb, I think, but when I get it back from my smith, I will...
