    Need rec's on a sturdy ladder stand

    Time to replace a couple of old stands. So I've climbed into a few stands at various hunt clubs trying to get a feel of what would be comfortable and safe to use. Most of what I am seeing is flimsy and not stout feeling at all. I'm looking for a minimum of 17' and just a roomy one-seater...

    Holosun 507c on Sig X-TEN

    I had my Holosun 507c mounted on my FNX 45 and it did just fine at keeping zero. I recently switched it to my Sig X-TEN (10 mm if you're not familiar) and my shots are walking right. All mounting plate and sight screws are blue loctited and sat overnight before I even attempted to shoot it...

    for want to configure a Sig M17

    Looking to get an M17 considering they are back in stock and prices have come down. My questions: 1- I'd like to use my suppressor, so I have found a threaded bbl on their website. Reasonable price, I think. But for sights, I'd have to get a mountable dot sight, to see over the suppressor...

    Berry's 9mm, AA#5, COL in CZ 75

    Loading Berry's 147 plated FP AA#5 powder, Western Powders data lists a COAL of 1.160" This COAL is way way too long to fit full battery in my CZ 75 Omega, I have to seat to 1.055" in order for slide to come to full battery. So I pulled the bullets and backed off the charge to the minimum (4.6...

    Ruger Charger- magnified dot sight?

    Hello Been a while since I’ve posted here. I own two 10/22’s (an LVT and a carbine) that I love. I’ve slightly modified them over the years, trigger work, Kidd spring kits, charging handles. They’re excellent shooters. In August I applied for a stamp for a suppressor so still waiting approval...

    I'm loading this 275 grain cast: It says COL should be 1.70". Well, when seated at that length, I can't get a good roll crimp because its not on the cannelure. Why would they give that COL then? So, I seated four where it crimped on the cannelure and shot them at just above the minimum...

    uneven crimp on shot capsules

    I'm using the same Lyman .44 mag die set I have been using for years. For some reason I can't get an even crimp on the Speer shot capsules. I can get a perfect crimp every time on seating any other bullet of any make, size and shape. But when I go to seat and crimp the shot capsules I get an...
