    Looking to invest in a chronograph

    I’m looking to invest in a chronograph to be used while testing new loads. I have used a few different kinds but never owned one. My friend has a Labradar and I would be interested in one of those but I haven’t seen one in stock anywhere in months. I’ve been intrigued by the Magnetospeed but I’m...

    Moving from new brass to to recycled brass

    So I’m fairly new to the reloading game and I’ve been using new Nosler brass while getting my feet wet and developing loads. I’ve found some a load that I’m very happy with and now I want to load a handful for general use. I’ve got a lot of spent brass of many different flavors. My plan is to...

    Final brass cleaning after sizing and trimming

    I’m fairly new to the reloading game. I’ve been prepping a bunch of brass, and I’m about to start loading recycled brass for the first time. One question I have is how to remove the brass residue from trimming. I have a wet tumbler and I could certainly run them in there for a few minutes and...

    About to begin my first reloading process.

    I’m about to start reloading for the first time(by myself). I won’t be loading anything until I get my FA Intellidropper for Christmas that my parents wanted to get me for a gift, anyway, in the meantime, I wanted to start prepping my brass. What I was wanting to do is do all my depriming...

    Digital Powder Scales and Dispensers

    I’m getting into reloading and I’m wanting to get a digital scale and dispenser. I’ve used one before and it seemed to work pretty well. While reading reviews online it seems like common issues are they start having issues after about a year and also being inaccurate. So, for you guys that have...

    Considering the 6mm ARC

    I’m considering getting the 6mm arc with a 20” barrel in the AR 15 platform. My intended use is for coyotes as well as a deer rifle for distances not much farther than 100 yards. I was considering the 6.5 grendel, but this round seems like it may be a better choice. Since I have no experience...

    Heater for deer blind/box stand

    Anybody have any good idea for heaters for use in a blind while hunting? I think battery powered would be pretty nice and I would prefer to avoid dealing with propane if I could. I generally deal with the weather conditions just fine but I have a young niece that can’t get enough of deer hunting...

    Anything wrong with the 6.5 Grendel?

    I'm getting ready to build a 6.5 Grendel in the AR platform, and the question I have is, are there any downsides to this round? I've never really heard anything specific as to why some may not like that round; more that they just prefer something else. As far as the build goes I'm planning on...

    Looking for some quality .223/5.56 ammo, only cheaper

    I know this is an oxymoron, but I'm looking for some quality ammo at a little more affordable price. The main use would be for "quality plinking" in a couple of my ARs. Barrel twists are 1:7 and they prefer ~75 grain bullets. I've had good luck with Hornady Black ammo which I can find for around...

    Thinking about building a 6.5 grendel

    I've been thinking about doing a AR build in something bigger than .223. The main use would be hunting deer-sized animals as well as fairly high emphasis on accuracy. I plan on getting at least a 20" barrel for it. So here's the thing, I have no hands on experience with either the 6.5g or the...

    Night vision scope info

    I'm somewhat interested in acquiring a night vision scope, but I don't know much about them nor do I personally know anyone who has one. While searching the Internet I've noticed that some products are <$1000 (which is where my budget would probably be) but then jump to a few grand. The main...

    Hornady "Match" bthp uses?

    One of my ARs really shoot the Hornady .223 75 grain match bthp ammo well. While on their website it doesn't say that it does well at anything other that target shooting. I haven't found much other info that really answers my questions. Would it be effective on deer sized animals? How about self...

    Budget AR scope

    I just acquired my 4th AR on a pretty good deal. The purpose of this one will pretty much just be used for plinking. I want to get a 1-4x - 1-8x. I would like to keep the cost under $500, and ideally around $350. Obviously I want good quality and reliability. What would you suggest?

    I'm thinking about getting an AK 47

    I'm thinking about getting an AK 47 mainly for the purpose of adding to my collection with something I don't already have and general plinking at my range. I really like my ARs and I have 3 of those but who knows, I may fall in love with it and use it more for possible defense purposes so I want...

    45 LC options

    Hello everyone. I'm new on here and I'm looking for some advice on a stainless steel single action 45 LC(a cowboy gun if you will). I will shoot it here and there but its primary purpose will be as a collectors item. I would like to stay under $1000 but if there was something just right, I may...
