    OT - sorta ... how do you download video files?

    Not through some ghoulist nature - more so for prosperity - I'm trying to download pix & .mpegs of the WTC attack. Anything I can, I'll "open in new window," which usually gives a larger pix (rather than thummbnail) & off we go. However, many .mpegs/.rams, etc. just open up in a pop up box & I...

    question on Varget powder for .308 Win

    'Bout to do a substantial loading for some 150 Horn SPBT in .308 Win/military brass. Picked up some H380 - looked to be a good velocity powder & meters like a dream. Loading data is a bit sketchy re my manuals - only one I have even lists it. Checked Hodgdon's site & H380 not even listed for...

    Some better news .... Colorado Larimer County Sheriff Alderden will now waive the previous $100 CCW application fee. Fingerprint checks will be "expedited." (apparently, there's some thought that the FBI will be taking even longer than usual .... I can imagine) The $38 BCI background check...

    CO .50 cal shoot report - past weekend

    Just a hoot! Last year's 50 cal shoot had 17 firing positions (many more shooters though) - this year's = 38 & perhaps again double the firearms and attendees. Amazing what a little extra publicity can do. About 7 varieties of 50s (perhaps 20 or so all told - twins, M2s, bolts & semis), at...

    Difference between various Lake City brass dates?

    Picked up some bulk .308 Win brass recently. Mainly LC NATO headstamps - various years. Plan to develop a bulk loading in the 150-165 gr bullet weight range & just stuff an ammo box with fodder. Obviously looking for decent accuracy, but I'll not sweat the small stuff. I haven't trimmed...

    "quick" fix for shotgun fit?

    Took a 20 ga Rem Express Youth model dove hunting Saturday. Mounting the shotgun shows that I really (I mean really) had to concentrate getting my cheek pressed into the stock to properly sight down the rib. A natural mount sets the shotgun to shoot high = the rib appears about 1/8" thick...

    Is this a new bench rest cartridge?

    Ran across one piece of brass today at the range. Headstamp is Lapua .308 WIN ... I'm OK so far. That's where it is parts company with .308 Win. OAL = 1.850" (SAAMI specs for .308 Win = 2.015") shoulder angle looks to be right at 60 degrees ("measured" with a 7X hand loupe w/angluar marks) =...
