    New to reloading for AR...2 questions

    I've been reloading for about 4 years, and for my 223 bolt gun for about 3, but am just now thinking about loading for my AR. My current 223 equipment consists of a set of Lee Pacesetter dies along with a Lee Collet die, and I'm able to get consistent half-MOA accuracy from my Savage 12FV with...

    Anybody use a Caldwell Rock Jr. rest?

    I'm in need of a decent rifle rest that works better than the sand socks I'm currently using, and curious if the Rock Jr. is good kit or if I should spend 2x the money for a Rock.

    Dedicated AR 22LR upper or M&P15-22?

    Wanted: semi-auto tacticool 22LR that is operates reliably with a wide selection of ammo, has reasonable accuracy (1" @ 50yd) with ammo it likes, and is NOT a 10/22 with a body kit. First I considered the CMMG 22LR conversion kit for my AR15, but accuracy is lacking and I would be concerned...

    Glock 19 and Sig P229 .22LR conversion kits?

    Can somebody point me in the direction of an online retailer that has the Advantage Arms Glock 19 kit in stock? Alternately, anybody know why Sig differentiates their .22LR P229 conversions between railed and non-railed frames? I have an older P229 40SW that does not have an accessory...

    Does Dick's still sell Win Dynapoint GT 22LR ammo?

    I got a 500ct box of the black-box Winchester Dynapoint GT 'Target' ammo a couple years ago and once I got around to shooting it found it is some of the most accurate bulk 22LR ammo I've ever shot in both my Marlin 60 and 25N. Just called the local Dick's Sporting Goods and the guy said the...

    6.5x55?

    Okay, I've got two 260 Remingtons, which should cover me pretty well in the 6.5mm range. BUT...Swedes are even more oddball in these parts than 260s are so there would be novelty attached to owning one, I've got a Savage 110 laying around as a potential donor, and I've heard in a modern...

    7mmRM downloaded to 7mm08 velocities?

    Looking to push a 140gr bullet at a pedestrian 2800fps from a 24" barrel, vs. the ~3150fps most factory 7RM hunting loads with that weight bullet seem to have. I see no need to beat up my shoulder with magnum recoil for hunting whitetail inside 300yd...but its nice to have the ability to...

    77/22H, K-Hornet, and Connecticut Precision?

    Have the opportunity to get a safe queen 77/22H from my father. I know these rifles have internet-legend poor accuracy. This particular rifle was last shot about 10 years ago by myself with Hornady factory V-Max ammo; all I remember was it provided consistent hits on soda-sized cans 50-100yd...

    Fun with 22 Short CBs

    Took the Marlin 25N to the range today, and while I had a good supply of CCI Mini-Mags and Winchester Dynapoints, I also had a box of CCI Short CBs that I was curious to see perform. And boy were those things were a hoot! They had less report than a friend's Crossman Phantom .177 air rifle...

    Will a 24", 9.5 twist 7mm Rem Mag barrel stabilize a 175gr Sierra Matchking? What about 162gr A-Max? Thanks!

    W748/760 powders?

    When I first started reloading with my whack-a-mole Lee Loader, I picked up a pound of W760 at a gun show because it was cheap. Combined with 50gr Remington PSPs, I started getting pretty decent accuracy out of my 22-250 and I was hooked. The W760 got shelved in lieu of H380 in the 22-250 as I...

    270 Win & 150gr bullets?

    For those who use 150gr pills in their 270 Winchester...just curious what recipes you use. Of course, standard "reduce and work up" will apply, just looking for some references. I have H4831SC, RL-17, H380, Varget and W760 powders, and the rifle is a Savage 110 with 22" 10 twist barrel and...

    Reloading supplies in Minot, ND?

    Meopta Artemis scopes?

    Anybody know much about these? I've got an Artemis 3000 30mm 3-9x42 with #4 reticle on a used Savage 12FV I picked up. They seem to be fairly well regarded from what little I can find on the interwebs, and the scope does appear to be sharp & clear. It appears like the Artemis line was...

    Powder price check?

    How much are common powders (Varget, H335, H380, H4831SC, H4350,etc) running locally for everyone? All the above seem to be in the $27-28/lb range in gun shops & the Bass Pro around Louisville, KY.

    Butler Creek flip covers for Nikon Monarch 5-20x44?

    Okay, I know I should just take the thing to a shop and test-fit the covers themselves...but does anybody know what size flip covers will fit this scope? Judging by the specs on Midway's website, it looks like a size 19 eyepiece and size 34 objective cap would fit, but I'm curious if anybody...

    260 Rem Pet Loads?

    I have a Rem 700 Mtn LSS in .260 with a 22", 1:9 twist barrel that seems to like 41.5gr H380 with a 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip; its a great hunting load with slightly less recoil and better accuracy than Remington AccuTip factory loads. I also just had a 26", 1:8 twist .260 barrel arrive...
