    Possible short throat on AR10 or maybe Im crazy

    I recently purchased my first AR15 and first AR10 after only owning only bolt guns for 30 years. I took the new AR10 out to shoot for the first time recently and Im thinking it might have a short throat. I loaded up some Hornady 168 gr BTHP match with the intent to do some ladder testing with...

    Mounting a 34mm scope on an AR10

    I need recommendations for good rings or a mount for a 34mm scope tube with a 50mm objective. I originally bought an Arken SH4J to put on a bolt gun but decided I would like to put it on a PA10 with a 20"barrel. I figured rings would be better since the Ar10 has more space for rings and not...

    School me on custom bolt rifles

    I have always wanted to build a custom bolt gun that can be used for treestand hunting as well as learning to ring steel at 1000 yards if I ever get to go somewhere I can shoot that far. Ive been looking at several of defiance, big horn, impact precision, kelbly, etc. If I was to get one that...

    69 gr RMR .224 bullets

    Im about to make my first order from RMR since I finally broke down and bought an AR. Using the search feature I have noticed that these bullets are VERY well thought of as far as accuracy is concerned. But I have a couple quick questions. Should I dig out the polishing media that is likely to...

    Reloading questions from an AR newbie

    Been handloading for more than 20 years, almost 40 if you count me pulling the handle with my grandpa at 4 or 5 years old. But I just bought my first AR15 and I know very little about them. #1, should I expect to have to buy a small base FL sizing die or will the standard .223 dies I bought...

    Sudden loss of accuracy conundrum

    I have been loading for and shooting a 308 Ruger American for 3 or 4 years now. It's always been wonderfully accurate with my handloads and has been very easy to develop several good accurate loads using 150gr & 165 gr SSTs,150 gr Sierra Pro Hunters, and 150 grain Speer grand slams. Most of...

    Scope choice to learn with

    After the crosshair decided to break on my POS Bushnell Sportsview, Im in need of a new scope. Ive only ever had cheap hunting type scopes, looking for something a little different. I really want to learn to shoot at longer ranges than the 300 yards I currently shoot. Because I'm specifically...

    Issues with 40s&w pc bullets

    Ive loaded and run over 9,000 rounds of plated and over 1000 rounds of jacketed rounds thru my Springfield XD service but found some PC bullets locally cheaper than I can buy plated, so I decided to give them a try. But I'm running into an unexpected issue. I typically run AOL of 1.125-1.135...

    Battle scarred old warrior

    Headed out today with the ol front stuffer but didn't expect to see much with gale force winds projected all day. Also, me and 2 other guys haven't seen but 1 decent shooter buck all year and that was during squirrel season, weeks before any deer hunting seasons started. It's been does and...

    Vegas mass shooting and possible resulting panic.

    Will lasts nights mass shooting outside the Mandalay Bay in Vegas cause another buying panic on guns and ammo? Will Trump being the president and not a liberal keep the panic buying down since he is much less likely to push for more gun control restrictions? I would also be interested to know...

    "Ghost guns" story on NBC news

    Was just watching the nightly news on NBC and they ran a story about "ghost guns" claiming that there is a loophole allowing criminals all over the country to buy kits which are showing up in crimes everywhere. I am not up to the laws on this and dont know much about the AR platform. I thought...

    Remington 1100 vs 1187

    Got a buddy thats wanting to get an old 1100 for rabbit hunting. Says he doesnt want the 1187 because of all the issue the last few years with remington. Ive heard those issues have been resolved with new leadership. I told him that he was probably better off buying a new 1187 preferably built...

    Why not take a target gun hunting?

    Ive always wanted to build a custom long range rig. My farthest maximum shots on deer have been about 300 yards but I would like to change that. I have always thought it would be cool to build something that could stretch the effective range to humanely kill one out to 500 yards. Also would like...
