    Used Walnut and Corn Media??

    Trash can. I use Harbor Freight Walnut. I use it until it stops cleaning well.

    100 grn 300 Blackout

    I load 100 grain cast bullets in my 300 BO for subsonic. I use pistol powders. Titegroup in my case, since it's loaded for a 8" SBR Encore. Those powders might work for supers, but are too slow for subs.

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    It's only about 100 FPS faster on most loadings on Hodgdon's website. Often burning 10 more grains of powder to do it. The juice is just not worth the squeeze when you already have a regular 280.

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    You can make 280 brass from 270 Win brass. Once fired is pretty cheap online. Or buy new. If you reload, brass should not be a problem. (I can't recall if forming from 30-06 will leave you with short necks or not.) AI cartridges are not worth the effort IMHO. Virtually all the increased...

    66% of gun stores I visited say these optics helps are absolutely worthless....

    Yes I know that, except that way is a massive time sink. You know full well that "keeping the rifle steady" is largly impractical if you don't have a rest that allows you to clamp things down. You're going to be constantly having to re center the bore. I'd rather slam my hand in a car door than...

    Ruger PCC and red dot mounting location

    With a red dot, if you adjust the takedown mechanism properly, you'll be fine. It's not a varmint gun. With a scope, yea you'll probably see a little zero shift if you're shooting for accuracy.

    Lipsey special edition J frame in 38 and 32mag

    For the same reason they're chambering it in 38 Special and not 357 Magnum.

    .22lr revolver - how challenging to keep clean?

    You ate some poorly cooked chicken, pooped out both ends at once, and concluded that chicken is inherently dangerous to eat. You know the answer in your own post, that you probably got a box of bad ammo, yet continue to be paranoid about barrel leading. The 22 Long Rifle would not have survived...

    .22lr revolver - how challenging to keep clean?

    You ate some poorly cooked chicken, pooped out both ends at once, and concluded that chicken is inherently dangerous to eat. That's what is going on here. You know the answer in your own post, that you got a box of bad ammo, yet continue to be paranoid about barrel leading. The 22 Long Rifle...

    GForce .357 Magnum Lever Action - Who Makes It?

    Ah, okay. I must have made a mistake when following the conversation.

    GForce .357 Magnum Lever Action - Who Makes It?

    The 92 is a rear locking action. Unlike ARs, whose recievers can be made of plastic, the 92 reciever is a load bearing component. People are suspicious of it for the same reason they'd be suspicious of aluminum barrels. The materials properties seem inappropriate for the task.

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    That's a Leupould offset ring. On top of the other reasons as for why OP might be having trouble, what is the trigger weight on the rifle? I upgraded the trigger on my 77/22 Hornet and found that any lighter than 1.25 pounds caused my consistency to go out the window. Perhaps the trigger is...

    66% of gun stores I visited say these optics helps are absolutely worthless....

    They're worthless. Get a muzzle laser boresighter. I splurged and got one powered by a 123 battery years ago and couldn't be happier. Battery lasts a long time and are comparatively cheap to replace.

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    And round and round we go, arguing past each other. All the people on the AR side to can point to is "Muh accuracy" (While avoiding plinking ammo, from a concrete bench, and secure sandbag rest) and "It's cheap". (Ignoring that cheap ARs are, at best, only marginally more accurate than a Mini...

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    This is all a fancy roundabout way of saying that the AR is superior because it's the cheapest option. (By instead calling the alternatives "overpriced".) That's a perfectly valid opinion, people just need to be honest about it. If ARs were still $1k+ and Minis still $500, people would be...

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    Exactly. The "MOA guarantee" is something nobody actually tests except with the 14 pound bull barrel ARs. The real world accuracy, shot under real world conditions, of a 7 pound AR and a 7 pound Mini are roughly comparable

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    For me, the ergonomics of the Mini are superior to the AR. Safety: the safety is ultimatly fine on each and is a matter of preference between the two. The Mini makes it effectively impossible to try to take a shot with the safety on and is easy to safety check by feel even with a gloved hand...

    New Ruger Mini-14 Tactical

    Ban states. They price them high because they have a captive market in much of the US.

    Hera Arms H6 folding stock bolt action rifle

    Oooo. I like the side magazine. Good to see more interest in that.
