Completely agree.
Lithium batteries are absolutely fantastic compared to NiCad and similar. Way more power for longer, but I hate the way power tools have implemented them.

I agree. There is no practical way to reliably separate the two without there being some form of cross contamination.
There are those to have, and those who will. Shoot, the day I FINALLY got some...

I was actually looking at the 375 Raptor the other day for giggles, and honestly there doesn't seem to be a whole lot that the 375 Raptor can do that the 358 Winchester can't. Don't get me wrong,...

I've watched grab-a-gun continuously jack up the price on that particular gun for about a year. Started at 1.5, then 1.8, then 2.4 and up. Not sure why Ruger even distributes to them with that...

Because they needed to reach a specific level of terminal performance at a specific range. .277 caliber was the best compromise between ballistic coefficients and getting to the required velocity at...

It has less less to do about reloaders voting, and more to do with plastic cases not acting as an effective heat sink compared to brass. As a result, barrels heat up faster. It's a problem that will...

The portion that goes into the press has a reduced diameter lip at the bottom. The sizing insert has a section of increased diameter at the top. You just drop it into the press portion, then screw...

I use Lee mold handles pretty much exclusively, and they work with NOE molds with no modification at all!
No reason the 452-230-2R wouldn't feed well as a plinker. The 255-RF would probably be a better hunting mold, just watch where you crimp as to not hit the crimp groove and throw off the case mouth...

Primary Arms are Aero Precision M5 (Their 308 line) uppers and lowers in stock, which are pretty well regarded. They also have Lower Parts kits. LUTH-AR 308 BCGs are in stock at Primary Arms, and...

I'm looking at the NOE 360-313-FN specifically. It looks like in a 2.1 inch case, seated properly it should come out to 2.8 inches, which works fine with my AR-10 in 308. (This is just gonna be...

I'm working on a 358 Winchester project, and I was curious if anyone had success with cast bullets between 250-320 grains. I can't find much data on them, but I think it'd be fun to play around with....

There are a number of electronic means by which to exchange money nowadays, Zelle et al. I don't generally use them myself, but in person exchanges via those means are definitely viable, since you...

Generally speaking, the Insta360 is a little more expensive, but it's also a lot newer than the Hero 7. It's more comparable to the Hero 10 in price and capability.
Not sure what lenses the Hero's...

I would look at the Insta360 OneR series. It can do all the same things that a Normal GoPro can, but it's a modular unit. You can swap between Fisheye lens, a normal lens, or a 360 lens in all of 30...

Infantry rifle combat in WWI was (and I'm going to grossly over simplify here) many times an exercise in volley fire/area saturation. Sort of a hold over from practices of war pre-1900. Mass...

Checks. Grizzly and the Central Machinery brand actually have a lot of overlap in compatibility. You have to do a little digging to find the "Mother Model", but if you can do that, Grizzly typically...
Yep, it's gonna change slightly between not only machining tolerances, but also the mix of lead you're using. Anything but pure is going to have a different density, and shrink differently.

Lee Molds are how I got started, and they still make up the majority of my molds. The 6 Cavities make pistol bullets really fast, and at about half the price of other brands. Their QC might not be...
