For anyone who has reloaded for the 21.8" Saiga 308, what charge weights, powders, and bullets worked best for you? In testing the 168 grain Match Kings and Amaxes over 4895 that I already have on hand it seems to suggest a lighter weight Amax, maybe 155gr, and a lighter charge weight from 39...

Been trying to find a reputable company with the Vickers Tactical extended mag release for Glocks in stock. All the bigger, known companies show it out of stock, while a few smaller companies say they have it on their websites but no one is answering phones or phones are disconnected when I...

I've always carried either thumb-break leather or kydex 'snap-in' holsters, but recently have been looking at something like a Serpa or the 5.11 Thumb Drive for a little extra security. Problem is that some events will not allow Serpas and initial reviews of the ThumbDrive are not good (bad...

Want to make sure I haven't missed something ... I've gotten a bit of training on the shotgun from instructors and from experienced real-world users, and I've done quite a bit of drilling with my 870s, including switching loads and transitioning to handgun. And I was always taught that if I...

...find today was Win Whitebox .38 +P JHPs, but will try .357 and .38 SWC as soon as I can find some, as well as .357 JSPs for hunting. Impressions: *Action was tight but wasn't as stiff as I expected and will loosen to just about right for me with a few hundred down the tube. *Loading gate...

Thinking of ordering a Rossi 92 plinker and future cowboy shooter in .357 today. Was wondering if there are strength advantages for the model 92 action in stainless steel over carbon steel? I know what SS brings to the table in most firearm actions, but didn't know if lever gun actions...

Finally broke down and bought a laser range finder. I love the Redfield scopes. Decent glass, tracks well, and spaced perfectly. So I thought I'd try the Redfield LRF, not expecting much for $170. I have been surprised. It is so small I can literally hide it in my hand. Really tiny foot...

When I got back into shooting a couple of years ago I read everything I could find on cleaning/lube products and found a few tests of various products from WD-40 to Kroll, etc. After gathering the info I started doing this after range sessions to clean everything except the bore: 1. Pull apart...

I have the following averages, weighing various .308 brass: Federal 54.5 PMC 53.9 Lake City 53.3 Win 56.3 Black Hills (Win) 56.5 Lapua 55.2 1. My scale is suspect, so I have a new one on the way. But do these weights sound about right? 2. Would you reload the Federal, PMC...

For those who shoot T/R under F-Class, I have read and heard that some meets will allow the Savage muzzle brake if turned off, and some meets will allow you to shoot with any brake but will put you on the end of the line and not turn in an official score for you, and a minority prefer you don't...

Looks like they finally made it to the bigger dealers, at least the 7mm rem mag made it. Listed as In Stock for $759. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/60969 Other calibers are similarly priced, but not showing in stock yet. Maybe the 7mm RM is now available...

I posted to a thread recently about the new Redfield scopes and there were questions about POI shift with magnification changes. At the time it seemed like I was getting about a 1" shift up and right from 4X to 12X. Since then I bedded and floated the rifle and had my shooting partner (who...

Another one of those things I wanted to know but couldn't find in one place, so I'm posting my results over many, many rounds of ammo sent down range thru my Marlin XS7. Listed accuracy was the average over many three-shot strings, and all strings were shot with at least a ten minute cool-down...

I rejoined the NRA in December after a long time away from the fold, and by the end of January when the card still hadn't come I emailed them. They said "It should be there by middle of February. Middle of February came and no card, so I emailed again. Never got a reply. I tried calling and...

When I needed this info I couldn't find it anywhere, so I thought I'd post my proven dope in case someone else needs it down the road. The numbers are for a 22" sporter barrel (Marlin XS7), temp of 55 degrees, altitude of 300 ASL, and the avg velocity and SWAG BC are in the notes below. I only...

And if so, do you live in NC? I have your .45 Long Colt and would be willing to meet you half way if you live nearby. :D :D :D

I'm shooting a lot of PMC Bronze and Silver Bear .308 ammo to nail my scope dope and prepare for hunting season in the Fall. But I can't find the BC of the bullets anywhere, of course, nor could I find the velocity of the Silver Bear. So I made a first pass at the tables using an online...

I did my first bedding job recently on a synthetic Model 70 and my consistent, "every single day" group avg at 100 yds went down by an inch with cheap Federal ammo. So I'm wondering what might be gained by bedding a 597? Once I tightened up the action, scope and mounts it has been a pretty...

Trying to run calcs on 150gr Federal PowerShok 7mm Rem Mag. I heard Federal was actually using Winchester Power Point bullets in their Power Shok line, and the ballistics seemed very similar (though accuracy definitely wasn't). But I heard they used Speer now, however Speer doesn't show a...

I've always read that I'd lose X amount of velocity if I cut the barrel of a 7mm mag rifle. Estimates ranged from 30fps/inch to over 100fps/inch. But today I read that Tac Ops magazine and a California Sheriff's dept. both independently tested this theory in 308 and 300 mag bolt guns. IIRC...
