    sig 556 question

    Re: sig 556 question With the heavier bullets, it held 1 MOA out to 300, i imagine it would hold it out to 500. I bought mine at Impact guns. They've got good prices. http://beta.impactguns.com/Rifles.aspx?Manufacturer=Sig+Sauer Cheaper Than Dirt has decent deals on them too sometimes. If...

    sig 556 question

    Re: sig 556 question Short answer...No. I've had my 556 for about 6 months now and put nearly 2000 rounds through the gun. Overall, i couldn't be more happy. I know no one will believe me, but i haven't had a single malfunction or jam in my gun. Not one. I didn't think that was possible...

    Experience with Tannerite Exploding Targets?

    Re: Experience with Tannerite Exploding Targets? I just got done carving pumpkins with some star targets. It was a lot of fun but wasn't too potent. The insides of the pumpkins were covered in AN pellets, didn't get full ignition i guess.

    Experience with Tannerite Exploding Targets?

    Re: Experience with Tannerite Exploding Targets? Thanks, I'm excited to try it. It sure would make long range shooting fun. Much easier than trying to see if you hit the 1000 yard metal plate. They sell it in a "bulk" 20 pound bag. I was thinking about buying that, but i don't want...

    On a budget need to buy Spotting Scope..

    Re: On a budget need to buy Spotting Scope.. I'd recommend a Vortex. They are known to be the best possible quality for the price. I have one of their Viper riflescopes and it is sweet. Very clear glass. With Vortex, you also get arguable the best warranty of any brand on the market...

    Experience with Tannerite Exploding Targets?

    I was just wondering if anyone had some experience with Tannerite exploding targets? They seem like they'd be a whole lot of fun. They are kind of expensive, but i'm thinking about placing an order. Anyone have any issues with legality? Their website claims they are 100% legal in all 50...

    Re: Trying to Build Accurate load for Sig 556 I don't have any at the moment. My brother has a ton of reloading stuff and a fair amount of knowledge, so i'll be working with him. I just came from the sporting goods store and was a little overwhelmed by the whole rack of powders. I guess...

    Trying to Build Accurate load for Sig 556

    I am a proud new owner of a sig 556 swat. I've enjoyed hunting and shooting all my life, but i am fairly new to reloading. I'm trying to develop an accurate hunting load for my 556. (I don't need to hear that the 5.56 can't handle hunting) I've decided to use a 70gr Barnes TSX BT for maximum...
