That's true of ANY press you buy, so you might as well get whatever you want, regardless of cost. In a year or two you probably won't even remember what you paid for it. The Forster Co-Ax press I bought years ago for $185 (expensive at the time) now costs about 500 bucks. Tim

But that's the catch. If you've been pulled over you don't know if you're facing a gun-hating cop. If he asks you if you have a gun in your car and you say "yes", he is within his rights to demand to inspect it "to see if it's unloaded". If you lie and say "no" and he finds out about it...

Don't forget also there is a federal requirement to carry firearms (handguns AND long guns) unloaded and in a "locked container" (whatever that means) or on a locked firearms rack if within 1000 feet of a school zone. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(2)(A) In many parts of the country it is virtually...

It somewhat depends on the match. Shooting the 50-shot national match course of fire, offhand is only ten of the fifty rounds fired, while in an 80-shot regional course, one shoots twenty rounds at each stage--offhand, sitting (or kneeling), prone rapid, and prone slow. In either case, prone...

I don't understand. Why do you have to redevelop your loads if you change your dies? Tim

I shoot in high power matches. To me, offhand is all about balance on your feet, and relaxation of your support arm. YMMV Tim

Dropping the bolt on loaded rifles is standard procedure in high power rifle matches. By rule, slow fire (offhand and 600) must be single-loaded. Meaning the shooter drops a round into the chamber and lets the bolt go. I have done this thousands of times myself, but that said, I did witness a...

No, by "NRA long range" I mean NRA long range. If you've not heard of it, I suggest you look it up. It is not the same as across-the-course service rifle (or match rifle) competition. It's normally shot at 1000 yards, and there is an "any rifle/any sight" category that allows scopes. I have...

Suit yourself. I was thinking of NRA long range and also Palma, where scopes are not actually used at all. Tim

For any kind of competition, I think you should completely ignore your reticle (presuming it's one of the kind that has marks for various ranges) and make all adjustments, elevation and windage, with the turrets. Only use the part of the reticle that shows center (or maybe some other part, but...

The article seems to be saying that the NRA took in money from various sources and spent it on lobbyists. It also took a shot at Wayne La P. Okay. Edit: This from someone who has been on the forum 11 days. Tim

Whatever stapler you use, be sure to bring plenty of extra staples. Once I was at the range when another shooter asked if he could use my stapler since he had forgotten his. Of course I let him. He was shooting a full-size human silhouette target, and proceeded to put a staple about every...

I don't know what kind of target you're using, but I would bet that the two-minute dot is making it hard to point the rifle at the same spot for each shot. You might consider making a special target that has a two-minute (or maybe slightly larger) aiming black so you can get your sight centered...

How big are your best groups? The red dot on a Trijicon MRO sight is two minutes. Tim

Possibly you are blinking at the moment of truth. You will make a huge improvement in your shooting if you can train yourself to carefully note where the rifle was pointed when the shot broke. This is called "calling your shot". If you can't do this, it is very much more difficult to zero...

I guess I just never thought about it, but a quick-and-dirty web search shows that most (all?) of those things are 12VDC powered, no doubt because most shooters have to haul them out to a field someplace to use them. I could not find any specs on input current requirements, but that said, I...

Interesting topic. I once worked for a major high-tech outfit here in Silicon Valley that had some HUGE buildings with equally huge straight, connecting hallways. I often thought that it would be oh-so-easy to build a completely indoor full-distance high power rifle range all the way out to...

Yet ANOTHER study that shows what law-abiding gun owners have known for years... Tim

I don't know about the public at large, but I do know quite a few service rifle competitors (I'm one too) and I have never met one, or even heard of one, who crimps their AR15 loads. Oh, and virtually every service rifle shooter shoots an AR. Anyway, the general consensus is that crimping is...

In general, the more south you go in CA the warmer and dryer it gets, right up until the point you're in desert. Up north, where it actually gets cold in winter, there is usually more precipitation but (in my experience) one never gets the humid-air feel in summer. Tim
