For shooting groups, PPC rules the roost at short range, 100 to 200 yards. But for shooting score, that would be 30BR. Bigger holes, better scores. Best edge gets the next higher scoring ring. Touch it and it's yours. I've seen some amazing groups with 30BR rifles, too. Not mine, yet...

I bought one of the Magnetospeed coolers last year. I use it during benchrest matches. A lot of other shooters use them as well. It's kind of comical, they sound like turbines when several are running at once. I had one of the yellow ones, but it ate batteries like Michael Moore at a...

I always use a bore guide, especially on my bench rest rifles. I modified one to fit the unusual configuration of my Kimber 82G using my mini mill and now it works fine. I have them for all of my rifles.

If I had a parrot with a large cage, the NY Times might be of some use. Until then, they're not.

I would be like a kid in a candy store if it was me.

I reload for handguns and rifles, and handload for benchrest rifles. I don't do much shotgunning, and don't even own a loading press for shotguns. I just buy anything I need for shotguns. Some rounds you have to load for because ammo is so expensive. .45 Colt comes to mind

I had to look that one up, but I see your point. The thing hits the ten ring one after another. I would imagine it would put the hurt on squirrels.

My Kimber 82G .22LR which I use for rimfire benchrest. It is amazingly accurate, even in my hands. I should have bought one at the beginning of the season. It flat out shoots, no doubt about it.

I use a small awl type tool to poke out anything in the pockets or flash holes after tumbling. It looks like a miniature scratch awl and comes to a sharp point. It works very well, and it's quick too. Sometimes corn cob will fill the pocket, and this tool takes care of it.

Since I bought my turret press, my old single stage press is relegated to other duties like primer pocket swaging, collet bullet pulling duties and sometimes universal depriming of brass purchased in bulk. Everybody has different needs and desires, though. I keep my powder drops separate, but...

If a rat had gastric distress in a Chicago alley, it would mean more to me than a star's opinion on anything but their work.

I enjoy handloading for its own sake, as well as making accurate ammo. I recently got into benchrest shooting, and EVERYBODY handloads in that sport. It seems so anyway. 6mmBR Norma ammo isn't easy to find on the shelf, I think only Norma and Lapua make factory ammo for that cartridge. Others...

I just subscribed to THR so that will mitigate some of the lost revenue. I find ads to be intrusive and avoid them as much as possible. It seems like every medium is overrun with ads, and honestly I'm sick of them. I'll gladly pay a subscription fee to a service I enjoy to avoid them.

Agree about the ad blocker. I added one to my computers, and it's blocked hundreds of thousands of ads in a couple of years. They just don't show up, or show up as blank spaces on some sites. You can block the ads on YouTube videos as well.

It does seem to be back right now. I checked just to see what was going on after hearing of it on another gun forum. There are a lot of Brownell videos there, but I'm not sure if all of their construction type videos are there. Time to patronize other platforms as they come about.

I've never done it, but I do have a gun that has the original owner's initials on the bottom of the trigger guard. Kind of annoying, and not something I would do, but it's there. The initials are "L.W." and my friend teases me that it was Lawrence Welk's gun before I got it. Darn kids, get off...

I go in phases. I was big in to military surplus bolt guns for quite some time. Then I went away from them and got in to different guns. When I sold those rifles, the dies went with them along with any brass or ammo so it was a clean break. It freed up safe space and funds to buy other things...

Agreed, the first thing I buy after buying a new gun in a new cartridge is the set of dies.

There is also the Rock River Arms LAR-8, like my avatar. It uses proprietary mags, or FAL mags. No other handguards work with the rifle, and mostly no other parts but RRA. It shoots really well, though. You can't put another company's upper on a RRA lower either.

I've got one on order. I should get it Thursday, delivered to my LGS. My shooting buddy has one already, he bought it as it came off the delivery truck. Right place, right time. I'll change it right away to Glock mags but it's because there are so many of them and they're very reliable. I...
