    Figured out what us 2020RF Springfield owners need to do to fix them.

    So I decided to play with a Springfield 2020 RF to see if they are really as bad as they say they are......Mine sucked bad. Shot almost 5" at 100 yards. So I tried to see what I could do to make it better. There was a thread here asking about barrel and I decided not to clutter that thread up...

    Reloading for shorter barrels?

    Never really messed with shorter barrels before but starting to. (16" 6.5cm) Initially not impressed with accuracy using ammo I loaded for my 26" 6.5CM. I know it will be was down on Velocity (getting about 2550 instead of the 2800+ I was getting). I got wondering about how much velocity you...

    sheet music to download. anyone have the ability?

    Short version, my son 12 and plays alto sax. He hates jazz and his teacher trying to get him to practice jazz. After doing some exploring (he doesn't like blues so much as I do) it turns out he likes funk. We saw on youtube a group playing uptown funk and he loved it. I went online to find a...

    Does anyone still use case gauges?

    I still use them. I called redding today because I bought a set (sizer and bullet seater) of redding competition full length bushing dies. I had only ever sized brand new brass with it as I only bought this set about 6-8 months ago and rand about 500-600 pieces of new brass for uniformity and...

    Are Berger bullets really better?

    It was said here that "Bergers are the truth". I know they are good and we talked about it. I shot some and was a little surprised. I shot a bunch more too and just need to put all the data together.

    made my own challenge.

    I am by no means one of those guys like eric cortina or the 1moa at 1,000 yard guys. But after what seemed like a few people agreeing that most people should be able to shoot a 1 moa or better group, I decided to make a little challenge. so far I have had two buddies try this weekend and plan...

    I think my scope might not be tracking correctly.

    New to using a ballistic calculator. I have Geoballistics. I built a new rifle and took it out for some silhouette shooting and did really bad. So I went to my local range and confirmed zero @ 100 yards and made a jagged hoe 5 shots group and the Labradar said 2750-2768 fps. I originally had...

    Why can NO ONE call 6BR the same thing???

    I am getting more than a little frustrated. I have a Nosler book.....it has 6BR Remington & 6mm Remington listed as two different things. So clearly they are diff. But it's loadings only go to 80gr bullets. I bought the new Hodgden "Reloading Manual" which is really just a half assed magazine...

    6BR Dies? rem vs norma vs ackley

    I prefer RCBS Matchmaster dies so I ordered a set of 6BR rcbs matchmasters. They are listed as 6BR Remington. I knew about 6BR and 6BRA but just found out there is 6BR rem and 6BRA. So I ordered some redding S competition dies and was going to cancel the RCBS order. I called RCBS and the guy...

    Recording Spotting Scope?

    I tried using my go pro with a mount on my Leupold spotting scope today and couldn't see anything due to glare. With the naked eye it was fine. Any thoughts on a good way to be able to capture good images/video? Wondering if I need to use a telescope instead of a spotting scope.

    Smallest AR500 Gong??

    My club only goes out to 200 yards. The smallest steel we have is about 4". I have been searching online to buy some AR500 gongs to donate to my club so I can use them there but can't find anything smaller than 3". Does anyone know if there is anyone making anything 1"? I would really like to...

    wondering about barrel heat mirage

    I did a little digging and everything is all about using the mirage in the air (at distance to make wind calls) and that is fine. But I haven't found much on the subject of mirage from barrel heat (I am planning on trying out a mirage barrel cover). But the other day I was shooting a few...

    Realistic expectations?

    I'm curious what people consider realistic expectations? I am not a competition shooter, I started reloading about oh 8 or 9 years ago and then stopped (kids work etc) but a month ago started back up (my son tried a small nra silhouette match and we had fun so why not do some reloading). I am...

    Made a video about subsonic 308

    So I thought someone might get some info out of this. I made a video shooting Subsonic .308.... I had no idea it drops like a rock and is basically useless. Curious on others thoughts on sub 308? Can anyone actually think of a use for that round?

    Just want show off how proud I am of my son

    He is only 11, on the autism spectrum so VERY recoil sensitive and finally stepped up to .223. He was enjoying his TacSol 10/22 but at 200 he was kinda having to lob them in. We only have had him shoot out to 200 so far but eventually going to go further but nothing really local. I know he is...
