Does anyone else throw a Christmas candy cane in there for minty freshness? It’s an OTF candy cane if that matters. [emoji3] Have a very merry Christmas, TFL. ♥️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Buddy of mine had a misdemeanor assault on his record that was several years old. He got it expunged in the fall of 2014. I guess just to 'test the waters' he tried to buy a rifle A YEAR later, and got denied. He filed an appeal on the NICS website with an attached copy of the expungement...

Hey guys, More often than not, I find myself wanting a can for my Remington .308 and my Ruger SR556. A .30 cal can for both firearms makes the most sense for me. My question is *drum roll* which one?! I know AAC makes a couple that are suited for multi-caliber use, and are QD with their...

Hey fellers, I just bought (yet to receive) a 700-AAC-SD with the 1:10 twist threaded barrel. I currently have a 700 SPS Tactical 1:12 (or what's left of one; heavily accessorized). One of those accessories is the badger ordnance bolt knob on the 700 SPS. If I wanted to move the bolt from...

Hey all, Just recently got a Ruger SR556 upper with the Troy flip-up front and rear sight. I'm debating on what to do for an optic; I think I want red dot. A few years ago, I accidentally received a Vortex PST 1-4; it was a nice piece, but at the time I didn't have the money or an excuse to...

I've been shooting/reloading for the AR lately; been burning through a case of XM193. The brass on this stuff is long and not very consistent on case length. My little Lee hand trimmer is giving me a workout, as some of them are 0.01 to 0.15 over what I'm shooting for. What are you guys...

I'm pretty new to the whitetail hunting scene. That means that most of you have probably forgotten more than I'll learn, given my lack of ability to participate in hunting as much as I'd like. I've read a few articles on this web site or the other, regarding the rutting moon. Some call it a...

Been reloading for my two rifles for a little over a year now. After crunching through Varget, 4064, RE15 and seeing all the granules spattered all over the base of my Lee Turret press, I abandoned the thing. Went to dipping and trickling every charge. Hate it. Started reloading for my .40...

Hey all, Nother' noob post for me. Been itching to get started with .40. I've got about 600 mixed head stamp cases (mostly Winchester), Alliant Power Pistol, CCI #500 primers. I've come down to making a decision on bullets for target shooting in my M&P full size (4.25" barrel). Will be using...

Hey guys, Last night I was given an old 552 Speedmaster, barrel code E D. It is missing parts, mainly the bolt assembly, which I've found for sale on MidwayUSA, the take-down screw, also for sale on MidwayUSA. But, there's a part on the parts diagrams that I'm not seeing, and I'm thinking that...

I set up my ProChrono Pal today for the first time, and ran 30 rounds over it (I was doing some seating depth testing). It's a 20" Remington .308 1:12 shooting 168gr Nosler Ballistic tips, 43.2gr of IMR4064. Min = 2549 Max = 2609 AVG = 2582 ES = 60 SD = 13.9 SKEW = -0.03...

In one of the latest editions of American Rifleman, they have a one pager about using 8gr of Clays behind a 168gr bullet for 1000fps and about 900 ft.lbs of energy. Feels like a waste of materials to me, but has anyone here ever played around with reduced pistol powder rifle loads? Might be fun...

Quick plot of a .308 at 1000. Angle on target at 1000 is only +/- 2 degrees (or something like that) They did this test in the Magpul Dynamics long range video. Pretty cool.

I did an OCW test this morning and got the following results: Would you guys agree that 24.1 to 24.5 seems to be the region of my accuracy node?

Hey guys, I know there's a 'where is everything' thread that's about 30 pages deep, but I wanted to give a shout out and thumbs up to Bruno's Shooter's Supply. Friday night, I came across this place. Being the relatively young hand loader, I hadn't heard of these guys before, but they came up...

Got a text message notification this afternoon from Midway for my favorite bullet. Usually shoot 168, but this was for 500 ct 175. I bought three minutes after the message. Three minutes later I checked back. Out of stock. I feel like I won the stinkin' loto today. Sad and simultaneously happy. :)

In researching these brakes, I'd found several posts regarding long waits, lack of communication, etc. just wanted to share my experience so far. 3/22 - ordered 3/25 - export permit applied for 4/15 - customs processing 4/18 - shipped (anticipation alarm!) 4/25 - received in KY So right at a...

and a 12mph tail wind. Set up an 8" gong at 400 yards, and was shooting out of the back of a pick up truck on the family farm. My goodness. The wind. It was actually variable between about 5 and 15, and zero and 3/4 value. Pretty much the windiest condition I've ever shot in over the last...

What a difference hand loading makes. I got a hold of some Independence XM193 and took it to the range. Wow. What a disappointment. I've not shot a group that large in 2 years with any of my firearms! But I'm gonna get some good brass out of it, so over the summer I'll probably burn a few...

Hey guys; maybe a tad off topic, but I had to share. I found this animated wind map of the US a few moments ago. You can click to zoom in on your approximate location. Somebody spend some time on this. Pretty neato! http://hint.fm/wind/ Anyways, thought you guys might be interested. I...
