Raytheon Technologies made it official yesterday. Fully Vaccinated by the new year. They have asked for every employee to give them their current vaccination status. Which I have submitted "Unvaccinated. Do not intend to be vaccinated" The fights on now. I expect to be fired before the new...

Vaccine mandate appears to be inevitable at my job. Management has had 3 calls with corporate in the last 24 hours, and it appears that info will be passed down to us supervisors within the next few days. Its very upsetting. I've spent my whole adult life working here, and have progressed from...

According to the NY regs, " An angler may operate no more than 3 lines with or without a rod. " My question is can I bring extra poles on the boat? For example, bring 5 rods and reels, but only three are in use at one time. This is on lake ontario if it makes a difference (which I don't...

looking for some brass for .243win

Ive got about 500 large rifles left, not as much as I wish I had. Fresh out of small rifles unfortunately.

I bought 5 pounds of Nobel 7000 for 25 bucks a pound from grafs on the 13th. Granted its not name brand, but it did have some pretty good reviews on a few European gun forums. Needed something slower for the .243 I just picked up. Unfortunately I dont see primers being available for a LONG time.

Just bought this on gunbroker, need to send the check out tomorrow. Model 70 in .243 with a heavy barrel (Ive always been a .30 cal guy, so this is my first small bore, besides 5.56) Ive been searching for a model 70 with a heavy barrel for awhile now. I wanted a 30-06 (similar to what Hathcock...

good idea. BUT, mot sellers on gun broker refuse to ship to NY, regardless of whether its to an FFL or not.

To the top

Would like to have a model 70 built like the one Hathcock carried. I've been window shopping Model 70 receivers on gun broker. Not cheap... Ruger Gunsite Scout. Only issue is I want one in .308 with a walnut stock, and a blued finish. They only offer a .308 with a wood stock in stainless steel...

Its not a high end chronograph. Its a basic Caldwell unit. But I was pretty careful with the setup, the bullets trajectory was consistent going through the sensors. My velocity results are in the ballpark of where they should be, based upon published load data, and loads I've seen floating...

I've been wanting to get my hands on some Varget. Hasnt happened yet. If I wasnt loading specifically for the M1 I would be able to open up my powder options a bit more. Varget and 4064 are about the slowest I can use with the gas system.

My 1903 with its original barrel from 1918 will outshoot my M1 all day. Fantastic rifle.

Brand new Criterion Barrel installed two years ago, less than 100 rounds through it. I haven't shot much lately. Last week was the first range trip I've made in a year and half. I've shot 1.5 MOA with this using 168 Speer's Match BTHP. I'm pretty finicky when it comes to powder and the M1...

I've been reloading for 9 years now, and I just picked up my first chronograph. I'm working up a new load for my Garand. 178 grn ELD-M, IMR4895.CCI200, mixed commercial brass. 6 shot groups (every group had a conistent flyer) so I omitted the flyer from the group size. So really 5 shot groups...
