    Dillon Precision users?

    I'm looking at the 550c or XL750 for a purchase. I like the XL750 for pistol for the 5 stations along with auto index. I think the 550c would be better if I want to load a lot of bottle neck cartridges. Right now I'm mainly looking to speed up my .223 and .300 BLK reloading along with adding...

    What's your favorite cheap rifle?

    Let's be honest we'd all love to own high end or custom rifles. However, it always seems like the discussions here are focused on the budget end of the rifle spectrum. I know "used rifles" will be the number one pick, and I don't disagree. However, lets try to keep the discussion to new...

    Rebarrel rifle to?

    I have an older M700 BDL in .308 Win I'm thinking of changing up. So keeping it .308 caliber or smaller to continue working with my .30 cal suppressor, what would you do? It's a constant 1.5" shooter with me behind the trigger for five shots. I bought as a barreled action with a factory...

    Trying to find a target

    I've been watching a lot of F-Class shooter videos and I've noticed this target. Most of the time they are using this during seating depth testing. It looks like a printable target, and I'd like to use it or something similar for load development.

    Working on some benches!

    Dang summer has been all screwed up out here on the prairie. Prairie dog season has been open since the first of June, but every thing has been so muddy you can't drive out to the towns. We've had twice our average yearly precipitation since it started raining in may. I have an old portable...

    .223/5.56 on Lee Pro 1000?

    Is this a good or bad idea? I've inherited a Lee Pro 1000 progressive press, and I'd like to put it to work. It's set up in .45 ACP, but I don't have much use for that as I don't shoot it often. Ideally a press with more stations would be better for rifle, but I'm thinking of a work around...

    Darn M70 Classics!

    I know I should never look at them. I committed to buying one today, a 7 digit SS Classic in .270 WSM. It isn't in the original stock, probably why I got a good deal on it. I know brass and ammunition are hard to find right now. I'm not sure it won't become a 6.8 Western, or it might just...

    Still on the quest for a light .308 Win.

    I'm still on the hunt for a sub 6 lbs .308 Win rifle and I've boiled it down to a few choices. My goal is 8.5 lbs or less with loaded magazine, sling, Nightforce SHV 3-10X42, and suppressed. I haven't been able to find any of these rifles anywhere within 135 miles to handle (save one) to know...

    What bullet for 100 yards .44 Mag?

    I have this Ruger .44 Magnum RS Carbine, and have only been shooting 240 grain HP ammunition as that's what was given to me with the rifle. This has the rifle shooting about 6" low at 50 yards, so I adjusted the aperture sight. However, I'm now out of adjustment so I'll be low again when I...

    Possible chamber issues .17 HMR

    So I bought the Citadel Trakr .17 HMR the other day, off of gunbroker.com. I've really been looking for a .17 HM2, but threw a bid down on this rifle and won. I know I bought a cheap rifle, and I'm not expecting much out of it other than to be minute of praire dog which it is proving to be...

    Rimfire sorting, yes or no?

    Other than making my wife think I lost my mind is it worth it? So the back story is I have aquired a lot of .22 WMR ammunition and have a fairly accurate Savage 93 FV rifle. So I was sighting in my new scope for the rifle the other day and I had some 5 shot groups go under 1" and others over 2"...

    Revisiting the 6mm Creedmoor

    So a few years back I built a 6mm Creedmoor on a Stevens 200 action. I kind of let it languish in limbo and had even sold the optics off of it. A buddy has convinced me to spend some time doing rodent control on prairie dogs this spring and summer. So I decided to pull this rifle out and...

    Ruger 10/22 all grown up!

    I'm sorry for the bad cell phone pictures, and as you might be able to read it isn't a 10/22. I was left this carbine by a good friend that passed away, as well as a 1911. I really don't know much about these rifles, but it looks like it'll be a fun little carbine. It has a milled slot for...

    .17 Mach 2?

    I don't know why but I have the bug for a .17 Mach 2 rifle. There aren't a whole lot of options out there for rifles, especially if you're trying to stay away from certain brands. It seems like a Ruger 77/22 is the best option to rebarrel. I'm just trying to figure out what other .22 lr rifle...

    Savage 10 trigger?

    I have a customized Savage 10 in 6X45. Rifle was originally a .223 youth model. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the trigger, and there doesn't appear to be much that I can do to it other than swap a spring out. Her is what I have: It's a non-accutrigger and not like the old 2 &3...

    This might change my group size!

    Pretty good Podcast from Hornady. I've been shooting 15-30 shots across my chrony to get good data. However, it seems I need to test my ammo in 20-30 round shot groups to get a good idea of capabilities.

    Howa Superlite

    Has anyone purchased or handled the Howa Superlite? I keep looking at this rifle, and must say I'm intrigued. A sub 5 lb rifle for under $1300 seems like a good deal. It's only offered in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, and if I get one it would be the .308. Carbon fiber stock and advertised weight...

    Looking to upgrade my AR optics!

    Looking to add optics to one rifle in 5.56, and swap out my Red Dot off my AR pistol in .300 BLK. I'm wanting a LPVO on both and am thinking a 1-6 or 1-8 on the 5.56. There are a lot of options but I'm looking at the Burris RT6, or USO TS-6/8. The sights I'm currently using on my .300 BLK...

    I took the advice!

    My M788 .30-30 is safe, for now anyway. I just purchased a Bergara BMR .22 lr with the 18" steel barrel. I purchased through Brownell's and I was able to get $65 off a purchase of $500+ (Nov65 code) and had a gift card of $50. That got the rifle delivered to my FFL for $484.09 after taxes...

    Rem 788, is it wrong

    To want to rebarrel a rifle that shoots great? I have a Remington 788 in .30-30 Winchester, and on a good day if I'm doing my part it thinks it's a varmint rifle! At 100 yards I'm often getting the first three rounds under 1/2 inch and touching, rarely have 5 shots go over an inch with just...
