      airline cases....

      Guys - What are your favorite travel cases for your rifles? I'd like to get something big enough for 1 or two long guns, with flexibility to handle a long shotgun, a Springfield or an AR. Need something that can handle being banged around for maybe 4 trips a year..

      Colorado Bear Country fishing....

      So, sometimes, while camping and "blue line" trout fishing in near-alpine environments, one might happen upon various dangerous critters. In Colorado, they generally range from black bear, cougar, potentially wolves etc. My .357 Highway Patrol is beautiful and accurate, but is heavy at 41...

      Nice inexpensive flashlight....

      The convoy C8 sells for $15 to $20 at amazon and other places. It has been out for a couple of years, and has been upgraded several times. The current incarnation is crazy bright and really sends a nice beam out at a distance too. It puts out at least 900 real lumens (as opposed to 3000...

      tipped match king

      I've been using the 155gr .308 Sierra match King for years for high power (30-06). It works great in my Springfield and Garand over 46 grains of H4895. I need to get a couple more boxes, and was curious about the 155 PALMA Sierra Match king and the 155 TIPPED Match king. Have you guys been...

      Splitting hairs with the 7.65 ARG

      Guys - I need to find some bullets for the 7.65 ARG Mauser. I did ton of internet research, but I think my accuracy expectations are higher than many. It CAN throw many bullets, but which bullet is available (and the best?) The barrel slugged at .311 to .313 with .304 lands. The Speer...

      Registered Lower...Now an HBAR

      It is a frickin' minefield out there. All we want to do is shoot High Power matches.... Our HBAR match rifle is built on a pre-ban lower registered to me. Can my 18 year old son take it to a match without me present? Does it become legal when that upper is mounted? Is it now a...

      Gents - I'd like to give these a try this week on groundhogs. The rifle has a 16" 1:8 Wylde chamber. I have ARCOMP and Varget to choose from. Have you seen any loads out there for this? Neither Alliant nor Hodgdon has a load for these powders....

      Minors and rifles....

      In Maryland, can a 16 year old boy, certified via the MD Hunter Safety course: Put his .22 rifle in a case, sling it on his back, and ride his bike to his squirrel hunting grounds a mile or two away? Can he place said rifle in the trunk of the car and drive to the rifle range? What if...

      Upper Question

      Hey Guys - I need to get my son an 20" upper for high power camp this summer. I'd love to get a White Oak or another free floated barrel receiver, but they are generally unavailable. Windham has the 20" govt' profile upper with BCG etc for $570. Seems like a good deal, but not...

      Anybody have any 6.5mm Swede brass?

      I could use a hundred or two. I'd like to work up some nice target loads. I have some other brass to trade, especially .38 all sized and tumbled or perhaps another caliber?

      xtreme AR bullets - 35% cost reduction?

      Hi Gang - We had a thread a bit ago on Xtreme bullets and folks were asking about their quality. http://www.xtremebullets.com/category-s/48076.htm I just received a box of 500. They look to be nicely made. Notice they are quite a bit shorter than the BlitzKing. I know the real proof will...

      Hi Gang, I inadvertently asked in the depot forum - this venue might get a few more responses! I really like the 168grain Sierra MatchKing HPBT bullets in my Garand. They are bloody accurate. But the things are like 30 cents a piece! What comparable bullets are you loading that might be...

      Why we handload...

      So, I'm new to the AR game, and relatively new to handloading in general. But I've been shooting a while and enjoy precision stuff. That said, I was having trouble dialing in my Rock River carbine with iron sights. I've since mounted a scope, and tried a bunch of different powder weights...
