    Greetings All, It was range day today for a little 110 metre rifle range I frequent. I had been fiddling with my Remington VSSF in .223 and had used it recently in a 300 yard shoot. Regrettably the...

    Greetings, I believe the test may be what has been called the closed bomb test or something similar developed from it. In this a small sample of powder is burned in a closed container and time and...

    Greetings, I suspect that this is why almost all target and long range shooters handload. GPM.

    Greetings, I have some Ohuas 5-0-5 scales which I think are the same as RCBS. They have been here for around 50 years and still agree with my RCBS 1500 scales. GPM
