So 5 years ago a good friend of mine wanted to start deer hunting for the first time. He didn't have a big budget and didn't want to invest alot of cash in a new outdoor hobby (already tied up most of his money in fishing gear haha). So he browsed the entry level rifles and picked what, to...

Looking to replace the stock on my Savage 12fv. I have it narrowed down to two options... Boyd's Pro Varmint (with the pillar bedding) https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product-configurator or Choate Tactical (has full length bedding block)...

I just got a Leopold Mark 4 20 MoA base for a new rifle. I decided I was going to bed the base to the action. After I got it on and waiting for it to cure I used my calipers stem (is that the right term?)as a straight edge and noticed it wasn't perfectly flat on top. I was able to get a...

So I was testing some loads for a 6.5 creedmoor that almost always shoots sub m.o.a and got the following... There were no extra holes on the paper (besides a previous group 6" away, and nothing on the backer board. I was thinking i might have gotten lucky and be all 3 shots?

I recently got permission from my better half to turn our basement tornado shelter into a walk-in vault (as long as I leave enough space for it to still be used during an actual tornado). Its approximately 22' long 3.5' wide and 7' tall. I was trying to think how to control humidity and was...

Looking at getting a 7mm RemMag. Primary use is 99% steel shooting (1000-2000yds) with offhand chance I hunt with it (I have plenty of other options). My top contenders in my price range ($1200 over the counter)are...

I just purchased one of these for fun practice ($399). I was about to do my pre-shoot cleaning i do with any purchased gun but i remembered reading somewhere about cleaning the action, chamber, and barrel mating surface (and barrel nut threads) on these to make sure there is no trapped grit and...

Having a terribly hard time making up my mind. I have been looking extensively at AR triggers, 2 in particular. One of which is a "kit" style where you assemble and install. The other is a completely assembled "drop-in". Both get fantastic reviews and both are very close to what I'm looking for...

I recentry bought an AR-15 in 223/5.56 with a 20" 1:7 barrel to use for mostly midrange (out to 600yds) and maaaaaybe a little 1000yd shooting at home. The primary user is my son (he wanted an AR over my recommendation of a bolt-gun, but I didn't argue too much about it, it was a good price). I...

I know Creedmoor stuff is "in" right now and I was just wondering if anyone has ever necked it down to .204? I've heard of 22 creedmoor. Would be interesting considering .204 Ruger has a case capacity around 30gr and the creedmoor case is more like 50gr. Doable or too overbore?

I just wanted to share my case annealing contraption with you guys. It is inspired by the many before me who were kind enough to post pictures and ideas online. The case is an old computer we had sitting in the storage room. I just completely gutted it out (except for the power supply). The...

I am considering getting a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 480 ruger. Primary intent would be a bear defense cartridge (please no comment vs bear spray) and as a general addition to a family collection. My father already has 3x 44 mags, a 45 LC, and a 454 casull. I do not wish to double up on a...

Specifically for handloads for long range or precision target shooting. Is it even feasible for bullet tension to be so light the bullets could be vibrated/forced slightly deeper into the cartridges during the drive to the shooting range? Do you store the cartridge bullet up, or bullet down...

I've been shooting my 6.5 creedmoor with hornady match ammo in preparation for reloading. (My change jar is still saving up for the redding competition bullet seating die, but I might go with a forster if I get too impatient ;) ) I have 120 once-fired hornady brass, but I frequently dream of...

I've seen lots of conflicting information on this issue. I have a Savage LRP in 6.5 creedmoor and am getting it ready for some long range shooting. I have Badger rings and a steel Badger one piece base. Badger doesn't recommend bedding, but I don't necessarily see a downside... isn't...

I've been looking everywhere (feels like it anyway) for the Badger Ordnance 306-06sats, that's for the Savage target short-action with solid top. Ideally I wanted to go through Triad Tactical since they had the best price I found (also the closest to me) but they have been out of stock for 2...

Sorry for the long post (I have a lot of thoughts and reloading data running through my head) I recently decided I am going to try to get into long range shooting (600-1000 yards). I am a farmer by trade so I have access to my own places where I can shoot to those ranges easily. I also...
