I also use Hawke scopes, but mine are on two different crossbows. They are clear, bright, and worth every dime I paid for them, but they are almost twice as heavy as that SWFA Ultra Light scope and...

Well Deadeye, funny you should say that because I also bought a Leupold 2 X 7 rimfire scope and it was the only Leupold I have ever seen that I did not like and that was when my brother said " just...

After a six year enlistment, I got out of the Navy in June of 1967 and bought a second hand or maybe even a third hand model 70 Winchester with a Weaver K-6 mounted on it. That rig was also a...

I also perfer a duplex reticule, but that's just me. But I don't do any so called "long range" shooting because I can't see well enough to do any of that.
Every time you open the front or back...

I don't know if Cast Bullets allows links to other sites, so I did not include one to the review on the SWFA scope yesterday, but today I'll try it and see what happens. For the review of the 2.5 x...

After first trying Tasco, then Weaver and discovering why as a hunter, I should not be doing that, I have used Leupold scopes exclusively for about the last 50 years. I love them and have NEVER had...

S&W is still not capable even after buying the TC tooling. The contract between S&W and TC specifically stated that S&W would honor all TC warranties. That was printed in all the firearms press at...

I went up on Old Jones Mountain road to the shooting range today and tried the TC Classic for a function test and am happy to report it is back up and running fine with no thanks to S & W or TC....

The GOOD NEWS is that for an old codger, you are doing some fine shooting and I'll bet you can do that with any good ammo. :)

I have also had the same excellent results in accuracy using Thunderbolts recently. So I bought a case of 5000 rounds from Natchez Shoters Supply which had them on sale.

Thank you brother. I'm sorry that I didn't say what I had done before asking the question here. I spent the entire last weekend looking everywhere on line using three different browsers, every...

Fellas, I just got a TC 22 Classic rifle about a month ago. It is very accurate. It does not have a rust spot or scratch on it anywhere. But now it has started not ejecting. I took it to my...

Exactly what Peregrine said. He is spot on. If you have to ask the difference between a Kel-Tec and a Glock, well DUH!!!

This is the last one made in 1943 and there were only 25 made that year due to Winchester's production being devoted to war time needs. It was made in a time...

Thanks Goose. I may try that if the IMR 4350 does not meet my accuracy requirements, which will be high. I'll be shooting those loads in this

Thanks BK7. Actually, I will start with IMR 4350 in my load development for the 7mm-08 Rem, but since I have five pounds of RL-26 on hand, wondered if it would be appropriate. Your comments make a...

I've been using RL-26 in a 243 with 100 grain bullets since RL-26 first came out with amazing results. Then I loaded it behind the Berger 105 grain bullets with the same result. Since the 7mm-08 is...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I have load data from Alliant for RL-26 powder in 243 Win and 308 Win cartridges. Since 7mm-08 Rem is right in the middle of those, there SHOULD BE a load for it, but there isn't one listed on the...

AMEN Lefty!!! If Dillon didn't tell you that a particular part has been upgraded, that means that you didn't ask. If you didn't bother to ask, you have no room to itch about it. BUT THAT NEVER...

I completely agree gnostic, and I like kydex gear. The base model Blade Tech holster I have works great except for when I am wearing a plate vest and running serious shooting drills or actually...
Cooks does not make a comprable holster like the Blade tech WRS. I need level III retention. Cooks does not make a level III holster. But thanks for the suggestion. I just wanted you fellas to...
