FYI 18" Green Mountain bull barrel $137 and free shipping - https://www.rimfiresports.com/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RSC&Product_Code=901500+%2F+901501&Category_Code=R1A

When I was looking at budget bull barrel option for 10/22 for the "22LR ... Accurizing on the cheap" thread, I was looking at Green Mountain/Shaw but ended up getting the KSA (Keystone Sporting Arms) 16.5" threaded stainless due to closeout sale R&S Precision Sports was running (I think I paid...

I tested WSF/HS-6 for USPSA 40S&W loads and decided on WSF as it was "flexible" enough to produce accuracy at mid-to-high range load data and produced accurate 9mm loads as well. I also used WSF for duplicate factory JHP like Hydra Shok/Gold Dot/Golden Saber -...

But all those Mother's Day cards ... ♥️♥️♥️:)

Adding Alliant 2400 and Ramshot Enforcer. Adding Alliant Red Dot and Ramshot Competition. Adding Power Pistol and Vihtavuori N330. Moving Bullseye closer to Titegroup and shuffling powder listing to better match burn rate chart. Removing WST/Competition, Clays/Trail Boss, Unique/20/28...

That usually means shipping method seller used was slowest freight rate so if there is room/weight available, it will be added. If not, it stands by. I usually ship shooting/reloading related items by USPS priority/flat rate which takes around 2-3 days. But when I use USPS freight rate at...

FYI, sun shade for Vortex Strike Eagle is just slightly too large. Lengths with sun shade installed: Athlon Argos 10-40x56 = 20.25" Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 = 17.75" Viridian Serac 6-24x50 = 15.5" Burris FF II 6.5-20x50 = 14"

On Hodgdon burn rate chart, N140 is listed at #112 and Varget at #113. Looks good.👍 https://hodgdonpowderco.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/updatedburnrateschart-1.pdf Adding Varget and N140 to the list. Disclosure: While efforts were made by THR members based on available information...

In the past, I have kept Vihtavuori powders off comparable powders listing due to high cost other than N320/N330/N110 and focused on powders that many of us were not familiar with like Vectan, Shooters World, etc. In light of Alliant canister powder suspension and Vihtavuori powder pricing...

Updating listings: (NOTE: This is a group project. If you see listing for similar/comparable powders with "?" better represented based on your experience, let us know and will update the list) Disclosure: While efforts were made by THR members based on available information obtained by the...

You can add Aguila 40 gr Lead RN/CPRN to the list of ammunition that shoots well. I finally got to resume my 47 brands/weights/lots of 22LR comparison testing with 10/22 and KSA 16.5" bull barrel and "boxed" Aguila 40 gr LRN/CPRN produced consistent sub 1/2" groups (It was a windy day so I may...

Life happens but we can adapt. How do we respond? Just like many of us have built up reloading components to ride out election cycles, we can now consider factoring "global nitrocellulose shortage" cycles related to regional wars tied to global supply chain (Whether we like it or not, we must...

When I tested Green Dot during the "Great Shortage" of 2012 in 9mm and 40S&W, I found I needed to use .2-.3 gr more to be comparable to W231/HP-38 loads.
