    Leupold VX3 or VX5?

    I have a few with the illuminated dots, but I find that I never actually use the dot. Wondering if anyone actually does use it?

    Yes, he is wrong.

    Rifle primers

    I guess what he is saying is that like a lot of people, he has a stocked up supply that he wants to hold onto no matter what and not use for the foreseeable future. Then, he has other stock that he is OK using because it is in excess of his "deep storage to be preserved" amount. A lot of...

    Winchester Staball 6.5 for .243

    I use it for 270 Win because I am saving all my H4350 and IMR 4350 for some other day. No complaints in 270 Win with Staball 6.5 I can't say how it compares to the 4350's because I am saving those and have not loaded enough with them to get chrono data. Accuracy with Staball pretty decent.

    Stuck case

    Read through this info for reviews and ideas about ways to get the stuck cases removed: https://www.uniquetek.com/store/696296/uploaded/Stuck_Case_Removers.pdf I have only had one stuck case, in a Redding 270 Win die. I did not use enough lube and it got stuck. I got the stuck case remover (I...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing defense fund

    Wow. That's a crazy way to divide up land. Wonder how that could even have come into existence like that. I'll spare the group the bunch of questions that come flooding to my mind, like how do the private landowners get to their properties without at some point crossing other private...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing defense fund

    I'm an east coast guy (sorry!) I have to ask what is surely the dumbest question to be asked in 2022 on RS: What is corner crossing? thanks in advance for putting up with my dumb question.

    Winchester large rifle primers?

    I think the WLR primers have the reputation of being the hottest (greatest "brisance"). I prefer them when using supposed-to-be-harder-to-ignite powders like ball powders and in situations where I am going all out to avoid incomplete powder burn in rifles that tend to squib under that condition...

    Powder Burn Rate Charts

    Right. I totally understand what you are asking because I too had the same question. For me, it was an issue of having a lot of Titegroup and not needing it for 9mm or 38 Special, so I wanted to use it to load 357 for rifle, 16 inch, 18 inch, and 20 inch barrel rifles. What I find is that it...

    Powder Burn Rate Charts

    There are no "units" or metrics for the burn rates that determine position of the various individual powders on these charts. There are other charts published, by the way, and they do not agree about powder relative burn rates (i.e., about position on the charts of the individual powders). The...

    Anyone playing with 6.5 StaBall?

    I've been using it for load development in 270 Win. It is good. Better velocities than H4350 for 130 and 150 grain bullets and decent accuracy.

    Labradar

    I love my LabRadar ! I got it about 2 years ago as the first chronograph I ever bought. I thought about them for years, but never wanted to mess around with the hassle of using the shoot-through type. When I learned about the LabRadar I knew I wanted one. I am very pleased with it. You do...

    Tripod Rifle Clamp/Saddle

    I was all excited to do this, now that I've tried it, I don't know what to think. I have an RRS tripod and ball head. the ballhead I have has arca rail clamp, of course, but also has a pic rail clamp integrated into it so you can use either arca rail or pic rail on your rifle. I also have the...

    Want to start annealing brass

    Want to start annealing brass I have been reloading for a long time, but I have never annealed my brass. I have a decent amount of fired brass for 223, 30-30, 270 Win, and 7.7x58 Japanese. The 223 brass has been loaded and reloaded several times. I want to start annealing to get more...

    Ammo coming back ?

    If a retailer shop or online sells someone ammo at a reasonable price that person can turn around and sell for the much higher going rate on GB. So, why should MidwayUSA or your local shop sell it for less than the going rate? It would be like a car dealer selling for $100 over dealer cost...

    Where is the Ammo Really Going?

    In times past when there were shortages I often heard about how local police agencies were running short of ammo, could not find enough for their guys to practice, were reducing the number of quals per year etc because of lack of ammo, etc. This time around, I have not heard, seen, or read one...

    Powder!!!

    Thanks for the hint about Recob's Target Shop. I just grabbed an 8 pound jug of Winchester StaBall 6.5 which I use for 270 Win loading. They also had a bunch of the newer IMR rifle powders, by the way. I've dealt with them for many, many years, always pleased but lately they just did not...

    Leupold Mark 3HD

    I have the 3-9 scope on an AR and I like it. Illumination feature very easy to use with "off" settings between every brightness level setting. I like that better than the illuminated feature on my Leupold VX5HD scope with the push button for turning on and adjusting the illumination. [ Can...

    Please advise: Tripod and head for stable shooting platform

    Looks like the jaws on the BH-55 are a wider size than on the BH-40, for example. But on the RRS website they don't say what size is needed. How do I know what I would need for quick release plates for the BH-55, and where could I get them? Seems that most of the camera places only sell other...

    Please advise: Tripod and head for stable shooting platform

    Ok, thanks. Now, for that BH-55, where do I get baseplates to allow me to attach a platform for a bag, or if I want to put my spotting scope on there at the range, etc. RRS sold out. Can I get plates somewhere else that will work for the BH-55?
