    New Accura MR-X - Blackhorn QRBP but no tool?

    Hello, Just picked up a brand new Accura MR-X. I am going to be putting it head to head vs my 20 year old Optima Pro and see how it goes. I have Blackhorn 209 and will be trying out Scorpion PT Gold w/ crush sabots. This rifle shipped in the box with a pellet breech plug and a blackhorn breech...

    Changing my crossbreed shell?

    Hello, I have a Crossbreed holster for a Glock 19, Supertuck, that I wore for several years (since 2014). Last year I sold the Glock and bought an M&P 9c 2.0. I also bought a new Crossbreed. After a year I still cannot stand the new holster - it seems to have much stiffer and thicker leather...

    Is this a normal spent primer?

    I have a new OEM breech plug in my old CVa Optima Pro is this normal? I am kind of wondering if supposed to look like this. if not I will just screw it to muzzleloading and buy a new rifle for BH209 and quick release breech plug.

    How do you sell and ship fired hulls?

    I only buy Winchester AA shells because I know people like to reload the hulls. So I have hundreds and hundreds of hulls filling up empty clays target boxes. I can’t imagine an economical way to ship this to someone in this forum or elsewhere. What am I missing? How do you organize and pack them...

    Cva Optima Breech plug

    I lost my breech plug (intended to mail it out for a BH209 upgrade modification) by leaving it laying around since Covid started and now I can’t find it. This is from an early 2000s Optima Pro. Long time before the Quick Release breech plugs were out. I found this on Midway...

    Just 2 or 3 days from the rut kicking off in Virginia

    Man I am excited. Full moon at night has been suppressing evening movements so there is a ton of sign, seeking, and chasing going off in broad daylight. I’m even seeing some movement outside my window right now and it still feels a couple days early. How’s the squirrel rut in your area...

    Wyoming Preference Points Antelope

    Hello, As I build Wyoming Preference Points (I truly love the idea of their system which has points to get really good odds in units but leaves 25% of them for "random" draws too), and I look at zones where for instance odds are (based on as past year's data, and yes I realize these numbers may...

    Finally Done Building my AR?

    Here is my build that I have been working on for years, this is my first and only AR. It's been shootable in various configs for 3 years now (I had an 18" 3-gun barrel on it when first built, thinking it would be a do-all precision/etc rifle) but now I think I have it how I want it for a "home...

    New Marlin 795

    I bought a Marlin 60 that is a Remlin in 2011 (my first firearm ever and I didn’t even know what Marlin or Remlin was the time). I have really loved it. I bought an XT22 in 2012 but later sold it after it didn’t meet my 1.5 MOA expectation I wanted (in line with my 60) and was heavy after I...

    Virginia - Sign up for VCDL

    Now is the time, if you are not already, to join the VCDL. Far too many Virginian friends and neighbors of mine say they are pro gun, gun owners, gun lovers, gun defenders and won’t take the time to pay $25 a year. VCDL is the only thing standing between you (and 40+ states behind us) and the...

    Herrera Case, Native American game rights on Nat Forest?

    As I understand it this case involved a poacher from the Crow tribe killing several elk and other species out of season, out of his state, and on National Forest land. His defense cited that the Crow tribe treaty says they have an unabridged right to hunt on uninhabited lands. Does this...

    Where to go after my first step of load development?

    I shot my first handloads today...it was very fun and I am glad I have delved into this. For 7mm-08, the cost savings are significant unlike loading for my 9mm pistol or my 223 rifle. Savings on the order of almost a dollar per round for my typical hunting ammo are available for the 7-08. I...

    Terminology regarding cam-over and die installation

    Hello all, Getting excited as I plan to finish my reloading bench construction this Friday and begin my first reloads, for my 7mm-08. I have a question regarding die installation. Many of the instruction manuals state to run the press to the top and screw in the die for contact, and then lower...

    Lyman 500 scale repeatability

    Hello, I bought an old T Mag (not a T Mag 2) kit several years ago and at that time it already seemed decades old (unused, new in box, never opened). The Lyman 500 scale is cast iron not the plastic one they currently Make. I have a set of check weights and as I prepare to embark on reloading...

    Quick "Friends of NRA" Banquet Question

    Hello all, I can't find any info online and the contacts on the poster aren't picking up their phone right now. To determine quantity of tickets, is there any reason I can't bring a child to this, E.G. am I going to get in trouble if we go and he has a ticket for a raffle or something that he...

    Tikka T3 Bolt Drops Half Cocked - Video

    Is this normal for a bolt action rifle or for a Tikka T3? Please let me know if this video shows all necessary details. I noticed play in the bolt handle when it is on safe (not nearly what is shown in the video) and saw how the handle moved when trigger was pulled if Safe was taken off and...

    Brass and Primers

    Hello, I am getting ready to become more dedicated to the art of using my hunting rifle, and step 1 is to start reloading for it. I bought a reloading press complete setup years ago at a sale (never used kit which has a Lyman T Mag turret press along with many accessories like brass trimmer and...

    Buck down, 200 TC Shockwave found on ground!

    This is interesting, I found it while blood trailing. The deer isn’t large but I was darn proud of it, glad to have the meat. 105 Lbs live weight. He was the 5th buck I saw today (4th in a 10 minute period following a Doe bleat). I shot him quartering away, I didn’t feel very good about the...
