    F-class rifle matches in Canada - stable alternative to prone?

    Because of medical issues that have occurred for me in the last few years, shooting rifle prone is no longer a happy circumstance for the amount of time necessary to participate in an F-class match. I'm exploring what would be my options for an alternative stable rifle shooting...

    Range rules: No arriving with loaded magazines (not inserted into firearms)?

    A friend residing in central FL tells me that at least one of the commercial ranges he uses has a rule prohibiting arriving with loaded magazines. I presume this is far beyond prohibiting arriving with loaded magazines inserted into any of the firearms. Now, I understand that there are some...

    Long gun choice in movie "Wind River" - Marlin Model 1895SBL

    Lapua older .22LR packaging markings?

    I did a deal on some older Lapua .22LR ammunition - "PISTOL MATCH" . No SKU markings. Each 50-rd box is mechanically stamped with "2503Z". What does that marking mean? I'm guessing 2003 week 25 production date. Photo thumbnail attached

    floor 10mm loading for factory stock springs in G20 Gen4?

    Any experience on what are the lightest "power factor" loadings that will reliably cycle a 10mm Glock 20 Gen4 with factory springs? I have some 135g 10mm Nosler HP projectiles to use up. Higher velocity loadings for them in 10mm produces poor accuracy and a lot of flash and blast. So...

    Commercial collapible stock LOP increase options?

    I recently acquired an Aero Survival Rifle (ASR) that comes with an AR15 pattern "commercial" tube diameter collapsible stock. I have very long arms, so the LOP even with the collapsible stock fully extended is too short for my comfort. What are my lower-cost options for extending the LOP...

    RCBS rifle die expander upgrade to carbide

    I've been using Redding rifle dies with the carbide expander ball upgrade for several years. I like the elimination of the need to inside-lubricate case necks and the reduced force needed to expand the necks as I pull the cases back thru the die. I'm migrating to using an RCBS small-base...
