    Torque Spec's and compatability questions.

    I have a new Vortex scope, it came with a warning tag "Do not exceed 18 inch pounds Torque." The Warne Rings however say "Do not exceed 25 inch pounds Torque." that around a 25% differential in Torque. Now in my OCD world that's just bugging the heck out of me. I'm going 17 3/4's inch pounds...

    Need some advice, New at reloading.

    I say I am new, but it might be better to say I've been at this with fits and starts for a while. A military career pretty much eneded my reloading and then the arrival of my Son did. I'm now looking at trying again and although I'm new and have been advised to use a single stage first, I am...

    KaBar TDI Aftermarket Sheath???

    Looking for a better sheath for the Large KaBar TDI. The Sheath that came with the knife is pretty much a deal killer for the knife, overly large, poor mounting to the belt with both the stock straps and the metal clip. So who makes something a bit better for this knife. It's a shame they...
