    Today isn’t a national holiday, but it should be

    Happy 3-08 day. I hope you celebrated with loved ones, huddled around your favorite .308 rifle, telling stories about the best cartridge ever made

    A new press coming to market

    Short Action Customs has been teasing this in advance of Shot Show. More details are supposed to come on Tuesday. It looks to be a single stage press.

    Time to replace a barrel

    I know I’ve been living on borrowed time with my 6BRA for a while now. Conventional wisdom would say that barrels in this chambering should last between 1,800 - 2,500 rounds and I just crossed the 2,500 mark. However, the barrel still shoots great. Over the last few months I’ve shot in a...

    I shot in the Texas State Highpower Championship this weekend

    It was a well run match with a lot of very accomplished shooters. Several of the 54 in attendance were current and past champions including a few record holders. The format was 6 individual matches, 3 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday, 600 yards, prone, 20 shots for record in each match. General...

    Biometric pistol safe

    My daughter is out on her own living in an apartment and I’m looking to get her a safe to keep her Beretta 92 secure but handy. What do you like? What should I steer clear of?

    Lend a hand ID’ing these 45 cal bullets

    Lack of labeling from the maker plus my poor memory and documentation skills has me guessing as to what I bought. It’s either X-treme 230 plated or Berry’s 230 plated. I have a load for each. I’m leaning towards X-treme. I’m sure one of you will know immediately *Correction on the length

    Sorting 45 ACP brass

    I’m fortunate to have a range where a lot of folks don’t pick up their brass so I have a ready supply of pistol brass whenever I need it. I processed some 45 auto this weekend and now I’m going through the tedious process of separating the LPP from the SPP. I’m ~100 into this pile and I’m...

    Precision AR .223 load development

    Sub title: trying to make an AR do things it wasn’t meant to do. Warning: there will be a lot of pics and data I started a thread in the rifle section about my project to build an AR to shoot in NRA AR Tactical matches here...

    3.08

    Yesterday was 308 day and I failed all of you for not mentioning it. My apologies. (I’ll make it up to you on July 6th) Here’s to the king of cartridges. Long live the king! The homage from last year https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/happy-308-day.885054/

    And another Star BM arrives thread

    Initial impression are very favorable. Finish is in pretty good shape. There were no service logos on it so nothing had to been ground off. Grips are pretty good but I’ll likely replace them with something else TBD. I haven’t field stripped it yet but will do so tomorrow. It fits my hand...

    Addicted to Hi Powers

    Edit: changed the title to be more accurate :thumbup: This one is a T Series, ~1970, in excellent condition. I saw it at the crack house, ..er...gun store a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t get it out of my mind. That makes 3. This is the last one, I swear!

    Serbu 50 BMG Kaboom!

    This is pretty dang scary. To say the guy is lucky would be an understatement. Looks to be ammo related. He was shooting a sabot round and maybe one of the sabot petals caused a barrel obstruction?

    New addition- CZ97B

    After a 3 day delay Uncle Joe finally let me take it home. I’ve been wanting a full size CZ and this one certainly checks that box. I’m very happy with it so far. Typical CZ quality and design. I have catcher’s mitts for hands so I don’t find it too big. It’s actually pretty comparable...
