    Bench shooter roll call. What caliber

    do you use in your bench gun(s)? I just wonder how many use the BR target/match specific calibers and who uses standard calibers (i.e. .308. ect.)

    Finally took out the chrono for my new 357 loads

    I decided to use the chrono I got on my new 357 mag loads today. I pushed them to edge a bit. How bout 1502 fps out of a 4" barrel and 125 XTPs? :cool: Black Hills factory: 1260 fps. I've officially moved my 686 ahead of my 1911 as my favorite handgun. I just started reloading 357 recently...

    I don't know how many of you use this die, but I'd just like to give my opinion on it. I HATE it! :barf: I just got one in and you have to take the friggin thing apart to install the proper bushing! Oh, and they don't tell you which bushing to use, and the die doesn't come with one. They tell...

    What would be a good hunting scope

    with an illuminated reticle in the 3 to 5 hundred dollar range? Sorry if wrong forum. I haven't bought a scope lately, and this one is for a friends kid. He and I are partial to Leupold, but I think an ill. ret. would be $$$$$$$$$.

    ? about 44 mag 300 gr bullets in S&W

    I've heard you need to be careful with 300 gr bullets in a 29/629. What about bottom end loads with H110? I know the bottom end of H110 is not very bottom end, that's why I'm asking.

    How long did it take you other collectors

    to admit you were buying rifles just to have them? I remember when I started out with a BL 22 and a k98 my dad sporterized for me when I was 8 or 9. At about 12 he bought my an 870 for my birthday. When I was about 15 I bought a SKS through my father, then shortly after that, he gave me his...

    Is it OK to load Revolver ammo long

    as long as it will fit in the cylinder? I've always done this in bolt action rifles, but never in a handgun. I'm loading some .357 gold sabres and I'd live to seat them within the back band.

    Ballistic tip in 300 H&H a bit nasty

    I shot a meat deer Sunday with a 150 gr. BT at @ 3200 fps. It was nasty. I did not even hit bone and the wound was awful. I was a little high on the shot, and I ruined about 1/4 of the backstrap. I'm concerned that if I hit the shoulder with this bullet, it may explode. Anyone had this...

    Good friend of mine picked up his new X bolt

    he won in a drawing. It is a very pretty rifle, and just about every Browning I've ever been around would shoot. I have to say, however, the action is very clunky if that makes any sense. The friction noise of the bolt sliding is very annoying. I would not have bought the rifle it is so bad...

    I was wondering if anyone has/could compared the Leupold European to say the VX-II and VX-III scopses. Does the 30mm tube make any real diff. other than being harder to find rings?
