Re: Snowmageddon part 3

12" on the deck - where I can leave the yardstick and see it from inside. it was over 16" in the front of the house on the driveway - I guess it was blowing around some last night. Our town guys are knocking it out - there's at least one lane open on my road now. Not that I really want to ...

Re: Snowmageddon part 3

Just eyballing it in Riverton it looks to be about 14" at almost 8 AM. Wood stove is cranking and I'm glad I work from the house on days like this... Time to make the first pass at clearing the steps and the driveway - all day to go with snow expected through the day.

You can find pull down bullets at sites like Rocky Mountain Reloaders http://www.shop.rmrbullets.com/223-556_c7.htm;jsessionid=8908F9...

Re: Reloading 223

I reload .223 for accuracy/precision. I only reload it for 1 rifle. It is more economical than factory ammo, and far more accurate and precise once a load is developed. I tend toward the Hornady 60 gr VMAX, and 69 and 77 gr HPBT from Sierra or Nosler. My rifle is a 16" 5r 1:8 twist .223 Wylde c...

In VA's national forests it is only legal to target shoot on designated shooting ranges. It is currently hunting season, specifically black powder/ muzzleloader season for deer as of tomorrow. Please adhere to the local guidance in the national forest district you plan to be in as game wardens will ...

Re: So...it looks like we will attack Syria

The US chose sides when we armed Syrian rebels. Its not just a proxy war with Iran but with Russia too!

Re: gas block

Do you plan to replace the FSB with a GB yourself? Or do you plan to bring it to a local gunsmith/shop? This is all very general as I don't know what you intend to do with this rifle - There are several gas blocks out there with a top rail, my suggestion if you do plan to go this route would be to u...

Re: AMMO LOCATIONS/ GUN DEALS

$8/50 on Remington .22 LR if I remember correctly. They had some cans of 325 and a brick for $139. I think I am going to backorder somewhere for myself as I don't need it for tomorrow/today.
