    Anyone with experience with these scopes? What would they compare to in the Leupold Line (VX-II) maybe? I am looking at a 2-7x33mm for an AR.

    I am interested in purchasing am Adams Arms, CMMG, etc. piston kit for a mid-lenth upper that I have and am hoping to get feedback on likes and dislikes of users of these kits. I am not interested in discussing the differences of direct impingement and gas piston systems since I understand...

    Hammer Forged AR barrels

    I would like to know what a cold hammer forged barrel is and what makes it superior to a button rifled barrel? I am going to purchase a new AR barrel and have noticed some of the more expensive barrels list hammer forging.

    Nosler Brass- worth the extra cost?

    I usually purchase Winchester brass and on occasion have bought Remington brass. Well today I purchased Nosler .22-250 brass and it was basically the same price for 50 than for 100 Winchester cases. It was really nice that I did't have to trim them or do anything with the flash holes or...

    .270 Winchester with Reloader 19/22

    I am going to work up some loads with these powders and Nosler 130 or 140 ballistic tips with Winchester brass and Remington or Winchester LR primers for a deer hunting round. I was wondering if anyone has had good results with these powders and if RL22 may be better served with a LR magnum...

    Alliant Spherical Powders

    I was reading Rifle Shooter magazine when I noticed that one of my favorite powder makers has a new line of spherical powders called Power Pro. I use a RCBS chargemaster 1500 to charge my cases and I mostly use extruded powders, except for Tac. What are the advantages of using spherical...

    Favorite powders for Rem. 6.8spc?

    I have been using Remington brass and Remington 9.5 primers with Sierra 110 gr. pro hunters. I switched from Hornady 110 a-max, because I thought the Sierra's would make a better deer hunting cartridge. I have used RL10X, H322, Benchmark and Tac with hunting accuracy so far. I like these...

    5.56 Pmags to feed 6.8SPC AR

    Has anyone successfully used a 5.56 pmags in thier 6.8 spc AR? I have a couple of Pri mags for my 6.8 and they work great but are expensive.

    Barnes 53gr. TSX FB in .22-250 Remington

    I am considering loading some of these bullets and am wondering if anyone has loaded them for a 1:14 twist barrel. Will the slow twist actually work? My probable powder choices are RL15, H-380, IMR 4320, Varget and TAC.

    6.8 SPC AR owners please

    My question is, are you happy with this caliber, or do you wish that you chose something else? Are you satisfied with this combination or do you wish that you would have moved up to an AR10 class caliber, or just stayed with the 5.56? I have two ar15 's (rifle and carbine) in 5.56 and would...

    Varmint Nightmare Extreme bullets

    I recently loaded some of these bullets in for a .22-250 in 55gr. and they seem to work pretty well. The packaging says that they are made by a major manufacturer. I was just wondering if they have a good reputation of being a decent bullet. Has anyone tried them?

    Ruger 77 MKII extracter problems

    I have three of these rifles that were purchased by my dad in 1996 and two of them (.30-06 and .22-250) work perfectly. I broke out the .223 rifle and shot it for the first time this past weekend. I immediately noticed that it didn't want to extract the spent cases. It would usually just pull...

    Sent my Chargemaster back to RCBS

    I have been the owner of a Chargemaster 1500 since the end of March and have been really happy with it until this past weekend. The thing has been a joy to use. It measures the charges very fast and accurately until the keypad went haywire. The numbers on the keypad do not corelate with the...

    Opinions on Forster dies

    I bought a set of Forster dies in .30-06 at Cabela's on closeout and really like them. I am new at handloading and need several sets of dies and since I didn't pay full price for the Forster set, I am wondering what the general oppinion is of them. I usually see them listed for $55-$65 on most...

    Electronic scales & automatic powder dispensers

    I have been thinking about purchasing an RCBS Chargemaster Combo, or a Lyman1200 DPS3. Are these products any good and does one have an advantage over the other?

    Bought a S&W M&P compact .40 today

    I have been wanting a .40 compact for CC for a long time and purchased this M&P today. Since I am a Glock and XD owner, I had reservations about the M&P pistols. The price was $439 and along with the rebates, I thought I would get off the fence and finally buy one. Good, bad, or so-so? Tell...

    Monarch brass .223 soft point-any good?

    I saw this ammo at Academy and was wondering if it was an adequate alternative to Remington and Winchester's cheaper ammo. My gun range only allows soft point or hollow point rifle ammo. I will be shooting this primarily in an AR, but also in mini 14 and maybe in a Ruger MKII.
