      Progressive presses. Who has what and how do you like it?

      The name is pretty much in the title. I have been reloading for a while with a buddy of mine and I finally decided to get my own set up. I'm pretty sure I want to go the progressive route since I'll be reloading mostly 45 ACP, 9mm, .308, .223, and .30-06 in order from most to least. I'll...

      So I need a new compensator/flash hider.

      Alright so I plan on shooting some coyotes this fall with my AR, the downside is I put a Smith Enterprises comp on it when I built it. Needless to say it is horribly loud and just unpleasant to shoot in general (although it is fun antagonizing others sometimes). What I would like is a similar...

      Vltor VIS with 300 BLK

      Has anyone put one of these together yet? I tried searching for one but couldn't find much. Would that barrel interfere with the VIS or are they pretty much completely interchangeable with the 5.56mm barrels? Thanks in advance.

      Just got my Destroyer 340

      Holy hell this thing is bad ass. Took a little while for me to get it (thanks a lot military postal service :rolleyes:) Sorry no pics yet, they're coming though. Hopefully I'll arrow me a caribou with it this time next year.

      Bowtech Overseas Mil Discount Q

      So I'm looking at the Bowtech Overseas Military Discount program and I see that they have the two different Destroyers on there. My question now is do you think it would be better for me to get the Destroyer 340 with a 70 lb draw and call it good from there or get the 350 with the 60 lb draw and...

      300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag bullet length issue

      So I plan on getting a new rifle here with my tax refund and reloading for it. I was wondering if I would encounter any problems seating heavier bullets like the 200 gr Barnes TTSX in the shorter casing of the 300 WSM? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again guys.

      10mm Auto, who else makes 'em?

      So I'm interested in a 10mm Auto at some point in the semi-near future, but I'm also at somewhat of a lack of manufacturers of said caliber. I would like something affordable, so Nighthawk Custom and Wilson Combat are out. I know Glock makes one, but I'm really not a fan of the "Tactical...

      Carbon vs alloy arrows

      Carbon vs alloy arrows, what are the pros and cons of each? I'll be picking up my first bow ever probably next month. What kinda arrows should a first time shooter be looking for. I don't want to be spending some ridiculous amount on a dozen arrows either. I've been told carbon by a few people I...

      Enlighten me to the world of Ultralight rifles.

      I'm thinking soon that I am going to be in the market for a new hunting rifle. Since I'm up in Alaska I want to try for sheep, but I don't want a heavy rifle weighing me down. I was looking at either .257 Roberts or .25-06. I was leaning more towards the .25-06 but I can't find any in the sub...

      Back up iron sights

      Who makes the best ones? I tried searching the forums, but to little avail. How do the Magpul ones stack up against, say, the Troy Industries sights? I kinda like the HK style sights, but I don't have to have them. Thanks in advance.

      Ruger Redhawk vs S&W M629

      I'll be getting one or the other in .44 Mag as soon as I get the funds. It's going to be about a 5" barrel. It's going to be my bear gun for the backwoods up here, so it should be handling fairly hot loads. Thoughts, opinions, a better choice perhaps?

      Newest toy

      So I gave in to the XD-M trend and bought one last week. Took it to the range for the first time today and put about 200 rounds through it and it performed flawlessly. I would have shot more, but it was cold as hell. I think I have a new favorite. Can anyone recommend a good concealed holster...

      Four Wheeling

      So who on here rides? I'm mainly referring to the ATV/dirt bike riders amongst you, but any four wheeling really. I'll be home around xmas and was curious to see if any of you ever ride at Green Ridge SF. Perhaps a ride could be planned for some time between xmas and New Years when people are...
