So I finally got around to getting a Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20 scope for my Remington 700. Since I am planning to try out some 1000 yard shoots, I got a 20 MOA 1-piece canted base. I took it out to shoot the other day and the scope has roughly 70-75 MOA of elevation travel, so with the base I...

So I have shot several matches and have been getting more and more into highpower, but I have a question for any veterans out there. It seems the generally accepted way of shouldering the rifle during offhand appears to be to point it up at about 45-60 degrees to get it set into your shoulder...

So in a discussion yesterday someone mentioned an automotive parts washer, sort of a sink that recycles some type of solvent/degreaser formula usually to clean auto parts. I was wondering has anyone ever used one of these for cleaning their guns, or gun parts? I'm thinking the smaller versions...

Ok so I'll run down my situation and see what you guys think. I have a standard 4" Springfield XD9 and am excited to get my new MG bullets assembled for it. The only problem is, I did a few dummy rounds to try to figure out the COAL and it is getting really short. I had assembled a...

Ok, so I think I have a handle on this but still don't quite understand. The general advice I have read is to always clean from the breech end if possible in which case you would use a bore guide to protect the chamber. But, the crown of the barrel is supposed to be the part that you are...

So I've been shooting some Garand matches and feel I've gotten my feet wet enough to take a jump into full on high power matches, so I've started looking at ARs and can not figure out where to start. From what I've found White Oak uppers are pretty much the best out there but how much more...

I know this has been posted a few times but I can't get a good answer before I order a Turner sling. How long should it be? Now what I'm mostly confused about is they are adjustable right? I feel like right now I should get a little longer and just notch the hooks up a few holes rather than...

So I have a SW 627 on order and in transit to my FFL and I was planning on loading up some MBC full wadcutters for it. I'm fairly new to revolvers (and lead) and was wondering if anyone had ammo advice or any do's and dont's for the 627. Sorry its sort of a broad question but I just don't want...

Just a quick question, I got a box of MBC's 148 gr double ended wadcutters from their tax day sale and it seems they have a crimp groove. My Speer manual only lists data for hollow base wadcutters which they say to seat flush with the case mouth, but I'm guessing seating to the crimp groove and...

Quick question, I've done a lot of thread searching and can't find an answer. I'm going to order some wadcutters from MBC to fire out of my SW 649, and they come in .358 and .357 diameter. What is the reason for the two different sizes and what should I probably go with?

How many loads do you guys get out of HXP brass? I'm asking because I've noticed a bulge at the base of my brass (even after the first firing) and I'm not sure when to just scrap the lot. I'm loading 168 gr HPBT Sierra MatchKings with 47.0 gr of IMR 4895. I've done some reading and some...

So I'm trying to nail down a go-to 9mm load because I want to start frequenting IDPA matches more often. Most (by most I mean 95%) of my shooting is outdoors and I discovered plated bullets as a great way to save money over jacketed. But now here is what I am thinking Rocky Mountain...

Can anyone either explain or point me in the direction of the reasoning and process for lubricating lead bullets? I was planning on ordering some bullets from Missouri bullet to make some inexpensive .38 special plinking rounds, and I can't figure out if you need to lube all lead bullets, or...

I've been looking at a few new shooting ranges to join and all of the ones that are some type of "club" type range have a clause in their membership form that is something to the effect of - "I certify that I am seventeen (18) years of age or older, that I am a citizen of the United States of...

I just wanted to ask some advice my load plans since I like all of my fingers and its my first set of 9mm loads in addition to using plated bullets. The charge: Berry's recommends using low to mid jacketed data. I plan on using Bullseye, the sierra TMJ data calls for 4.2-4.4 grs. I...

So I have had some problems with priming 30-06 cases. Can anyone out there do me a favor and if you have an RCBS hand primer, take a pair of calipers and measure both of the rods that come with it for small and large primers. I've reloaded 357 fine but I think my problem is that my large...

So I am almost done with my first batch of 30-06 for my M1. I am seating Winchester WLR primers in HXP 69 brass. I've seated about 40 or so primers using the RCBS hand priming tool. They all look and feel flush with the bottom but if I hold them against a flat machined surface (the back of my...

Two questions: First, my immediate problem, what is a recommended COAL for 168gr SMKs for M1 Garand loads? I've read a few other posts and it seems people generally use somewhere around 3.23"-3.3" or so. Will anything dangerous happen if I just pick a COAL in that range and go with it...

So I am getting shooting glasses for Christmas and I've decided on Decot Hy Wyds. I normally wear glasses with a pretty mild prescription (about -1.5 or -1.75 I think with a very minor astigmatism). What opinions do you guys have on the options of: 1) getting prescription shooting glasses...

I'm just getting into competition shooting and am looking for a coat. I have found either an older, used leather 10-x coat or was considering going with the Creedmoor deluxe canvas (the ~$105 one not the 200 something one). Does anyone have any opinions on either of them? I'm leaning towards...
