I'm hearing that dirty rifle bores tend to shoot better. Normally I'd clean the gun immediately when getting it home, if not even swab the bore some between groups. But I'm hearing that some long range shooters will allow a rifle to go 300 round before cleaning it, and claim it shoots better...

Question for those who do compete with rifles. What kind of shot groups do you get at 300 and 400 yards? What do you consider "good" at that range? edit: I do mean with the use of a scope.

So, let's say somebody needed to go from PA to Indiana but passed through Ohio with a total of 6 guns, unloaded and in cases. For sake of argument, the vehicle is an open bedded pickup with backseat and only the driver as occupant, thus guns in cases would be in the back with seat folded up. 2...

Okay, a range forum could use a list of really long ranges, don't you think? The long range bug finally bit me. I'm from Pennsylvania and I don't know of a single range over 300 yards in that state. In Indiana, I was lucky to find one near me. So I thought maybe of a list of 1000 yard public...

There are supposedly no dumb questions, but I might just be an inquisitive idiot on this one. In my 308 I fire only neck sized cases from new rounds that I bought from a single manufacturer / load, and keep the cases trimmed to length of Lee's trim guide. After about 3- 4 reloads with BL-C(2)...

This one is to all you SKS owners and fans. At 200 yards I love my SKS because it rings a 200 yard gong 10 times out of 10 in 15 seconds when fired prone while using the bayonet pushed slightly in the ground as a monopod. But I was absolutely astounded it could hit at 300 if I raised the site...

putt in wrong forum - sorry. Mod please kill this when you see it.

While I was looking for Sierra Match King 175 grain bullets and struggling with Berger's VLD, I picked up a box of Berger 175 Grain Hollow Point Boat target bullets. Is there much difference in trajectory between the Sierra MK 175 and Berger HPBT 175 out to 400 - 600 yards? I was thinking to...

Neither of my local brick and mortar reloading suppliers had a case deburring / dechamfering tool in stock. So it still possible to get by? It's nothing but a tool for grinding / cutting a metal opening to smoothness, right? Does anyone use a tool that is not specifically a case deburring /...

I replaced my Ruger M77 .308 Win. with a Browning X-Bolt Medallion .308 Win. Wow is that thing lightweight! It's a beautiful rifle and I think still more accurate than me, though I'd like to test that :) When I take it to the range, my typical round expenditure is between 40 and 60 rounds...

I have a pre-owned Leupold 3x9 x 40mm scope with duplex reticle on my 308. I absolutely love it because it is the only scope I own that never loses its zero. Unlike all the Bushnells I've owned, even when my rifle is dropped if I fall when hunting, that old Leupold scope will not lose zero...

Today I picked up a box of Berger VLD 175 grain bullets because I couldn't get Sierra Match King 175. They were not cheap by comparison so they came with great, as yet unmet, expectations... I was looking for something I can qualify out to 600 yards with and have an interest in learning to...

I think I've finally hit the point where I am paying nearly as much for 308 Win round I load as I could for factory ammo. Well, okay I am still about $0.20 per round cheaper, but from a simple price perspective the difference is far less that what it used to be. For my pistols I can still do...

I just picked up a really clean National Ordinance M1 carbine. The problem with it is it doesn't fully chamber all the rounds. It'll shove the bolt forward enough to allow you to pull the trigger on many of the rounds, but not close it enough to actually fire--thus also causing repeated...

I'm in Longmont, Colorado, near Boulder for a while. Are there any shooting ranges out here?

I'm sure many of you know about this. Look, I don't care if you like Sturm-Ruger or not, but I just found out that Ruger offers a link to email all your representatives at once. That means your elected house, senate, state attorney general--everyone you voted for or against--with one click...

I have a Ruger LC-9 but I can't find a decent ccw holster for the thing at any gunshop. I'm tired of spending cash on massively overpriced guns, and I'm not replacing it. I'm so frustrated that I'm almost ready to stop carrying altogether. :banghead: Does anyone know of or have experience...

Okay, this is going to sound hokey, but if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. What I mean to say is this. Every one of us, and I mean everyone, should write their house and senate reps with this idea. Let's turn the White House and Capital Buildings into "gun free zones." I know you're going...

I have a question to you all, who probably have more experience with activism than I do. In general, what do you find is the most effective way for contacting a US House or Senate representative? Would it be email, fax, phone or snail mail? Do any of you use priority mail, certified, etc?

After watching the video of the NRA president addressing the U.N., I had some thoughts on how to garner membership and financial support for the NRA. What if every gun shop owner raised their prices just $25. I know you want to string me up for saying this with prices nearly double what they...
