I'll be working up a load for my AR. Beginning with the starting load and working up in .3 grain intervals. My question has to do with "warming up" the barrel with some commercial loads prior to documenting my handload results. Whats a good guideline for the number of shots I should fire...

Has anyone ever used a Lyman 90-MJT receiver sight on a 223 / 5.56 AR-15 ? I know its widely used for rimfire and just wondered if it would stand up to the highpower recoil. http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/products/p_539090000_1.jpg

I’ve been shooting HP service rifle matches for a few years now. Currently I shoot a pre-ban Colt HBAR 5.56 A2 with a 1-7” twist and a nice crisp two stage Geissele trigger. I’ve found that the larger 75gr and 77gr bullets provide me the most consistency in my loads, particularly out to 600yds...

Quick question: Are there any rules that prohibit the shooter from sitting down between each offhand slow-fire shot ? Thanks

I’ve posted this on as many Rimfire / Smallbore forums as I could find, so forgive me if you see this everywhere. Just wondering if there’s any smallbore / rimfire shooters out there in N. Illinois or S. Wisconsin looking to get together for some “unofficial” matches. Nothing fancy. I got...

Hey Everyone, I've got a series of postal matches organized here and I'd like to invite everyone to participate. There are four different matches here, and depending on the firearms available, you can participate in as many as you like. Each match has it's own website that explains the...

ISRA Alert: County County Phone Poll For Gun Control Ordinance Is Still Active Larry Suffredin and his cohorts on the Cook County Board are up to their old tricks again. In order to justify passage of gun control ordinances designed to close all gun shops and ban and confiscate most...

Have a very nice Mossberg 535 configured for Turkey. That is to say it only has a 20" barrel and a removable XFull choke. I can't afford the 28" barrel that's available right now. Can I use this shorter barrel for waterfowl ? And if so, what kinds of choke adjustments if any should I make...

I'd like to upgrade the rear sight on my shooter Garand and have one question. Does this rear sight fit into an existing assembly or do I need to replace that as well ? Thanks http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=75098&stc=1&d=1206288201

Can anybody help me find a "composite" sporter stock for an M48 Yugo Mauser ?

I use the Lee hand priming tool, but I just can't seem to find a safe, comfortable way to hold it. Does anyone else experience "ergonomic" issues with the Lee ? Are there any other tools that "feel" differentlly ?

I'm working on accuirizing an old Krag that was sporterized around 80yrs ago. It was originally a full length Krag that had it's barrel cut down to 24" and had a very shoddy sight system. I've replaced the sights, and I'm going with a replacement carbine stock without the rear sight cutout...

Like a bonehead, I didn't look closely enough when the clerk put them in the bag and bought some CCI magnum small rifle primers. I'm loading for a Savage .223 12FV, using H4895 powder and 55gr PSP bullets. How do I modify my loads so I can use these damned things ?

I understand the concept of trial & error when it comes to establishing repeatable performance with a specific load on a specific rifle. Assuming of course all reloading components and conditions are consistent. I’ve been told that many shooters develop one load for 200 / 300 and another for...

Has anyone had any problems getting the primers out of the Lake City 30-06 stuff ?

I've got some handloads for a 7.5mm Swiss that I need to pull the bullets & powder to start over. But What do I do with a "primed" miss-sized piece of brass ?

I have a few rifles that I use for target shooting. Some are equipped with a Lyman globe-style Front Sight that affords a few insert options. These options are various front sight post or circle inserts. With my aging eyes, I struggle with my focus on the post, and the circle just doesn't...
