So... to make a long and overly detailed story short, my brother in law is wanting me to work up and provide a load for his Ruger M77 7mm Rem Mag using nosler partitions. He's providing the hardware, I'm providing the time and "expertise." I'm posting this here, because this is all for the...

Good afternoon all. Over the summer I worked up a load for my 7mm-08 Ruger deer rifle. It's 140 grain Nosler accubonds over an upper end dose of Varget. I am absolutely tickled with it because I am consistently grouping around 0.75" at 100 yds, which is more than sufficient minute-of-deer at...

I really don't see a lot of feed back anywhere on these, but they are way less expensive than the Glock factory mags. Where do they save the money? Are they worth it for practice? Are they good/reliable enough to carry? I like the look and the price, but I feel there has to be a trade-off...

Good morning, Folks, I've been looking into having one of G17s or G19s milled for an RMR, or perhaps purchasing an Gen 5 MOS model of one or the other. Or maybe... just maybe... I'll spring for a G40 for the sheer fun of it! But this past weekend, during the NRA convention, Glock announced the...

Forgive me if I am posting on the wrong form. My wife and I recently had our first child, and while he isn’t running around and grabbing anything he shouldn’t yet, it has started us thinking about getting a safe. Up untill now my guns have mostly hung on the wall or stayed in drawers that are...

First I’ll start by saying that I’m posting here because this typically comes up in conversations surrounding hunting optics, not usually range/target optics. There seems to be a fairly prevalent prejudice against high magnification for medium to big game hunting rifles, and I’d like to know...

Good morning folks! Try to make the back story as short as possible. A great uncle in the family used to own a sporting goods store in the 1960s-1990s. When he retired from it and vacated the property, there was a lot of left over merchandise that ended up in storage. As he's wrapping up his...

Good morning folks, So over the past year I've decided that of all the guns out there, I love SA bolt guns the best, particularly with Mauser type actions. What I would like to do is build a .260 rem on a heavy sporter platform with a Mauser type bolt setup. Envision a Win Model 70 or Ruger...

After a lot of wind and rain, the weather last evening was finally calm enough to test my first batch of hand loads. (What I mean by that is that these loads are the first I have taken from beginning to end all on my own. I made all the component decisions, I did all the brass clean up and case...

I've read around on here a bit trying to find a good starting point for this, but it seems a lot of 223 loads are semi-auto geared. What I'm wanting is input/experienced opinions on powder and brass preferences for hand loading 223 for a bolt gun, with 55-60 grain varmint bullets. 22" barrel...

I recently picked up a new model Ruger American Predator 223. It’s the 26944 model that uses the AR style magazines. Also with the newer model, Ruger has done away with the proprietary weaver/picatinny rail that had the odd spacing/size which limited some single piece scope mounts. A couple...

It seems like a dumb question... after all whether we own one rifle or 99, we're all searching for the perfect hunting rifle. And realistic or not, we mean that said rifle will efficiently kill anything at almost any distance with minimal meat loss. It will also serve as a contingency arm should...

Good morning! I'll start by saying I am pretty much brand new to reloading. I have recently acquired my own press, and I am starting to put things together for a 7mm-08 Rem load. What I will be working with: Ruger American 7mm-08 with 22" Barrel with a 1:9.5" twist. (please don't knock the...

Good morning, folks! I'm looking for some opinions and educated experience here.... I have a friend who is helping me get started on a little reloading, letting me use his press while I supply dies and supplies to reload for my 7mm-08. I've been looking at different bullets, and since I've...

I've been considering a 300 blkout build for a while now. Here in VA you can't deer hunt with .223/5.56. I've noticed a bit of a rise in side charging uppers, and I'm thinking I might like to do this build with one. I'm trying to think of any serious disadvantages, other than take-down for...

I would be interested to hear what everyone keeps ready to hand for their .223/5.56 AR. I know there is no perfect round for every situation. But right now I'm a one AR guy. So it serves as both a small game/predator rifle, a target/practice rifle, and a home defense gun. I like the...
