    Sierra 6th Edition Reloading Manual Disappointment

    Across the years I have upgraded from the Sierra 4th to the 5th editions, and just recently bought the Sierra 6th Edition Reloading Manual. I have to say I'm dissatisfied with the manual. I do not care for the new layout, or the new fonts. But most of all, some of the data has me questioning...

    For shooting .308 at ranges from not under 100 to not over 300 yards. Target shooting at paper from bench or a bipod. I want to stay with a fixed power scope only. After much deliberation, I'm all set to pull the trigger on one of the redoubtable SWFA SS (fixed)x42 Tactical 30mm...

    What to do? My Firestar Finish

    I have a standard Star Firestar M-43, in 9mm which I like because it’s a compact single-action auto. I felt there was nothing wrong with the finish until recently. Recently, I took it target shooting, and though I thought I wiped it off properly, I must have missed a spot because a few days...
