    Bullet Catcher

    halfded, its new but the 30-06 barely dimpled it. Motownfire, yes from the top, foamboard works great, but you can slide a piece of plywood in the trough as well.

    Advise and feedback for new rifle purchase

    Flawed or not, will this work?

    Okay I want accuracy plus speed. I know faster does not always equate to better accuracy but I want a blend of both. Here is my game plan on developing some future hand loads. My goal is to achieve the best accuracy/speed combo without wasting a lot of components and since I have started...
