Back in the 80's I was one of those running my duty gun in early ppc competition. Some weeks my 686 was fed around 800 rounds a week. They were everything from wad cutters to jhp depending on what I...

I've had similar issues. Tried the insoles and the shoes that had the most support that helped me were Red Wings. That same podiatrist removed bone spurs on each side of my heels and did the tendon...

I would not do a pinned and welded supressor. They are like crack, once you get one you will want to use on on more barrels.

Try a different choke but the fit of a shotgun effects the location of your rear eye and that can effect the aiming. High end shotgun sports mostly involve shotguns that are fitted to the shooter.

Sad thing is there are fire laws that prevent open flames on porches like that. But I doubt they cover a casting pot since it is electric. Manager is just not able to see the difference or really...
Most likely your tripod head is removable. Look into a cheaper Arca Swiss compatible ball head. They are pretty common in the photography circles. The arca swiss style has a semi standard style of...

Their quality control was really slipping. I sent one scope in recently that had the turrets installed backwards.
You can't use a 223 barrel due to the bore size obviously but you can chamber a 30 cal barrel.
My wife got one with the laser after listening to the counter person at Academy. I took her to the range and afterwards she wants me to get rid of it and get her a Glock like I suggested she got. The...

Get the JP reduced spring set. A take up screw and the reduced spring set can make a remarkably nice trigger pull.
Clipping springs is not a good idea. Besides the spring set is only something...

Check it with factory rounds for a sanity check for the first time. Cuts out the errors you could have made on the reloads.

Don't get it confused with their airbrush that is terrible.
