Last year I picked up a pair of these from Home Depot and could not be happier: https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Pro-Protect-Wireless-Electronic-Hearing-Protector-with-Bluetooth-Technology-NRR-25-db-90545H1-DC-PS/319702534 I've had other purpose built electronic "Range" ear protection ($$$$)...

Exactly ... I should have explained a bit more ... I use the sled (or very large shooting/sand bag) when sighting in to get close to zero to remove any induced errors on my part then switch back to my normal hunting mode of prone bipod and/or kneeling, & hasty sling if needed. Very good point &...

I have a lead sled and with a .416 Rigby and .30 Nolser I used 2-25lb bags for a total of 50 lbs.

Personally I would recommend that you go to a place where you can physically look through each pair you're interested in and make a side by side comparison. Many years ago I dreamed of owning a top of the line Zeiss and I found myself with the ability to finally get a pair. I kept hearing how...

I first entered the reloading world when I was 16 or so ... fast forward about 50 years later and I have yet to anneal a single round. I have thought about it many times but never pursued it.

Guy - I know you moved but I was in the Wenatchee Sportsmans Warehouse & I saw that you are still on their board! 😎

I too bought a RCBS Rockchucker when I was a teenager in 1976 and still use it to this day - 50 years & counting! I've had a few other presses but have given them away; RCBS Jr & a Dillon 550 as I don't shoot 1,000 of round anymore..... I do regret getting rid of the Dillon at times & have been...

Maybe have her try a red-dot vs iron sights & see how she likes it. Both eyes open with a red-dot should make it easier to get on target quicker and gives better depth perception.

When I was investigating options for my Model 48 Long Range I was advised by Nosler that the trigger is made by Timney. So I wrote Timney several times over the span of a few months and never received a reply! If you do follow up with Timney I would be curious if you actually get a reply.

Just read today that Big Rock Sports files for bankruptcy - According to the article they serve more than 20,000 retailers across many outdoor sporting industries. https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/major-firearms-distributor-serving-thousands-retailers-multiple-countries-files-bankruptcy

I have never heard of Noblie and had to look them up and I have to say that I am underwhelmed by them. My first impression was that they looked like "gas station" knives with cheap laser "engraving" & "scrimshaw" work. The quality of the sheaths offered for a $1,400.00+ knife appeared to be...

Just saw today that Brownells is waiving hazmat shipping fees for primers, powders, etc for a limited time....

What I have been using on my last few scope mounts are precision parallel roll pins (in .001 increments) that I had which I place between the scope rail & the bottom of the scope under the elevation turret which is flat....This ensures a dead parallel mounting of the scope to the rail/receiver...

As others have said, I like to have the printed books on hand even though I like to look at the on-line data as well. So far my hard copy collection consists of: ACCURATE: 2 | BARNES: 2,3,4 | BERGER: 1 | HODGDON: 23,24,26, | HORNADY: 2(1975),2(1978),3, LYMAN: 49 | NOSLER...
