At times folks cannot shoot accurately because their guns are dirty. "Proper procedures" aside, how do you know your "procedure" is effective? A bore scope is just another tool that can be used to good effect. Use it or don't. Some tools just make the job easier. We're here learning from...

The LX appears to be scheduled for a June release. Midway and Brownells list them but unavailable. Both are the same price and seem to have similar features. The literature indicates that the LX can give you downrange information (30 yards) which is apparently sufficient for calculations of...

When my daughter was 5 or 6, I took her to Cracker Barrel for dinner. While waiting for a table, she did some shopping and came back with an arm load of gifts for her mother and sister. She said if I buy all this, it's going to going to take all my money. I said: you have some decisions to...

I mount my own scopes. I do have a Wheeler kit and use it. Before that I bought a low tech item that you level on the receiver with rubber bands. It has wings (for serious lack of a better description) with leveling lines that you line up horizontally with the reticle. I use the light...

I've recently been pretty impressed with the Bore Tech products for general, copper and carbon cleaning. They have a specific blend for rimfire too. None of these products have ammonia in them. I didn't see that they had anything specific for lead fouling. I use Shooters Choice Lead Remover...

I don't have the experience of many of those who have commented thus far, but here's my list: 1. Improper use of cleaning products. The directions are there for a reason. 2. Not thoroughly cleaning out ammonia products. 3. Mixing different cleaning products in the barrel. 4. Spinning a...

With what's going on with Vista and Alliant powders, I made a list of rifles, pistols and revolvers that I reload for and listed all powders that I used with each gun for various bullet combinations. I did not note the bullets used, just the powders. For me it works as a buying guide or...

I just placed an order with PV and didn't see a thing.

Midway has Remington LPPs too. Finally, something broke loose. Still pricey at $119. www.midwayusa.com

Powder Valley has Remington LRPs. Pricey at $114 per 1000, but they have them. www.powdervalley.com

Midway, and Powder Valley. Midway has the largest selection-right now. I know it hurt$$$, but it seems that is just the way it's going to be.o_O

Good article and discussion. I had an issue with some 9mm Luger lead rounds that I loaded not chambering. I was not able to figure it out and couldn't find anything on taper crimping that really helped. I knew the answer had to be in there somehow but lacked the knowledge to figure it out...

Good day at the range today. Someone threw out 20 pieces of new primed 300 RUM brass. Since I don't know what the primers are, I'll deprime. Otherwise, a good score. Brought out 200 new pieces of new Starline 308 brass for prep.

IMO, no. A bad trigger is just that. I can shoot a lot of different triggers, but one that is truly bad is a nightmare. Replace it with a decent trigger. You'll be much happier and less frustrated. Case in point, I have an AR 10. The factory AR trigger was awful. It had a catch right as...

Well, NatureBoy was right. The accuracy returned. The photo is not oriented correctly. This is 3" high at 100 yards on sandbags. Now the muzzle brake was carboned up as well. I know there are a lot of methods to clean the muzzle break, but I used Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinger for an overnight...
