    New rifle, bore scope, thoughts?

    The rifle is an Armalite AR10a. Bought it a couple of months, ago. Thought I would pull it out of the safe and start putting rounds through it to see what it can do. Inspection included bore scope. This good to go? Tack driver or will probably pattern like a shotgun? Don’t want to waste the ammo...

    Taurus Lever Action .357/.38

    Stopped at LGS today and fondled a Taurus Lever Action stainless chambered in .357/.38. Been thinking of picking up something like this for range duty. Thinking it might be fun with .38's and easy to shoot. It was $549. I have no Taurus experience, or lever action pistol caliber rifles. Any...

    Just shootin' the breeze. Pun intended. Nothing serious here. My reloading has been on hold for a few months while I built a new reloading addition to my garage. Before shutting down I reloaded enough ammo to last while building it. I load my 9mm ammo on a Loadmaster. Complete with case feeder...

    Thoughts/wisdom on new barrel 'break-in'?

    Bought a DPMS LR-308 and the 'break-in' schedule per owners manual seems lengthy. "To achieve the best results for accuracy you should clean the chamber and bore after every round for the first 25 rounds and then every 10 rounds up to 100 rounds. It usually takes about 200 rounds per barrel...
