Sig P227 Review - Great Pistol I'm a huge fan of the Sig P227. If you've got the time and interest, here is my review of the P227 on Aegis Academy's blog site. https://aegisacademy.com/community/product-review-sig-sauer-p227-nitron/

THR, I need some information and advice on finding the best scope for a 17HMR in the $150.00 range. I'm fairly experienced with my Leupold VXIII scopes that I have on my Remington 700PSS in .308 and Ruger 77 in .308. But I still have a lot to learn. After looking for...

Correction Correction - - there are large rifle primers in the .308. Typo

Thanks Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely try it again with more shots per string for data collection. There is an interesting "science" to both the internal and external ballistics involved in shooting.

THR, I've been shooting for 12 years in the Marine Corps, but only recently have gotten serious about studying ballistics. After reading the outstanding book "Understanding Firearm Ballistics" by Robert Rinker, I found a very useful source of information and further study. I...

THR, I have a few 1911s with blended magwells and really like the function and the feel of this addition. For a majority of my 1911s, the blenidng was done in conjunction with some other work to include refinishing (Hardchroming). With my latest 1911, I would like to install...

THR, I could use a hand "remembering" a very accurate load that I accidentally lost with my databook. A little over a year ago, I was surfing the net looking for a very accurate .308 Win load. I shoot a Remington 700PSS and was interested in a good target/plinking load so I...

Baer Monolith THR, For a number of years now, I have been shooting a lot of different weapons for competition, for fun, and for carry. I have had many that were great weapons... but I wanted to change the sight or the magwell or the....etc. In 2003, I spent six months in Iraq...

THR, Other than the finish, what is the difference between a Concept V which is stainless steel and a Hardchromed Premier II? I have a chance to buy either one or the other and can't tell if there is any difference other than the finish. I may be leaning a bit more toward the HardChrome for...

Thanks for the info THR, Thank you for your input. It sounds like Federal primers are the way to go when I load practice ammo for the Sig. This has always been a great way to receive and share information and ideas - thanks to all of you on The High Road.

THR, I'm having light primer strikes with a Sig P220 shooting reloads. The P220 fires flawlessly with factory ammo (S&B, Federal, American), but has light primer strikes (1 out of every 10-15) with my handloads. I have loaded tens of thousands of hand-loads on my...

It isn't hot I've shot some at a local range and the round isn't hot in more ways than one. As mentioned in earlier posts, the rounds don't have the same "oomph" (I had to use the term since I also haven't run them over a Chrono). But the spent casings aren't hot either, compared to the...

Strike-Hold THR, After 10 years in the Marine Corps and just as many years of competing in different shooting disciplines, I have used a good number of CLPs. The Break-Free the military uses has a great number of shortfalls. I switched to MPro7 for a few years for competition. About...

THR, I am deeply concerned about the rhetoric in the liberal media these days regarding the US motivation to go to war with Iraq. As an OIF veteran, it is even more troublesome to me. I was there when we liberated Iraq, I saw the mass graves, the schools filled with ammunition, the...

THR, For about two years now, I have been reading this board. I have learned a lot from postings regarding the 1911. If you don't mind, I would like to ask for your collective advice (and maybe a little bit from 1911Tuner) on a specific gun. I have a Kimber Series I...
