    Glasses for pistol shooting?

    I'd be curious to know how those glasses compare to your regular glasses. Like, what is the focal length? Arms length, where your sights are? Or something else?

    Rifle scopes

    You certainly don't need to spend $1000 on a 300 meter scope.

    Why no IMR data for .243 Win 100 gr Partition?

    You'd have to ask Nosler that question. I suspect they just vary their powder selection a bit between versions, depending on what people seem to want info for. But that's just a guess.

    Need a dedicated deer blind rifle - Update

    Of those 2, I would go with the 243. Keep the velocity on the lower side to prevent grenading. You didn't list it, but the 85gr Sierra GKHP would be a fine choice for this. And the other option, of course, is to use this as an excuse to buy a new rifle. 🙂 A Henry lever action in 44 mag or 45...

    Glasses for pistol shooting?

    Tell me about the glasses. What was the difference between the lenses for red dot and irons?

    Glasses for pistol shooting?

    Have any of you had any special glasses made for pistol shooting? By that I mean, to enable better focus and depth of field on your sights and target. If so, what was your setup? I wear normal bifocals, so getting everything to look sharp with these old eyes is a challenge. Just wondering if...

    Lentil Soup And Grilled Cheese

    My wife makes lentil soup regularly. I like to put a tablespoon of sour cream in mine. Have you ever tried using mayo instead of butter on your grilled cheese? Gives it a nice tang.

    Polymer Sig Handguns?

    I have both: A P320 Compact in .40 and a P365. My P365 is one of the earlier ones, and while I know there were initially reports of broken firing pins with some of them, I have had no issues with mine. I absolutely love the way it handles for such a small weapon and carrying it is very easy in...

    No gobblers, but...

    It was definitely coming to see if it could nab a fresh bird for breakfast. Totally stealthy.

    No gobblers, but...

    I was hunting yesterday morning (Saturday the 26th). Heard a couple gobbles on the roost on out the ridge from where I was, but nothing close. Every 5 or 10 minutes I'd do some yelps to see if anything was moving my way. I'm hunting on the side of a ridge that's covered with trees and...

    22 cal. 60 gr Solid Base

    Those are the ancestors of the Ballistic Tips. Nosler took the same bullet and put a plastic tip on it.

    Need help with an experiment

    Perfect. And that provides the answer that I was looking for, which is that coins are not consistent with their nominal weights. Thus, my results were not out of line with empirical data. Thank you. And yes, the nominal weights have changed over time, as the specific metal alloys have changed...

    Need help with an experiment

    In the time it took you to write all of that, you could have stuck a dime on your scale and told me what it weighed. And still saved yourself a minute or two. ;)

    Need help with an experiment

    I have a set of the Lyman weights. Some of them are spot on. Some of them aren't. Reading the reviews online, I've seen others say similar things.

    Need help with an experiment

    So, to break down what you are saying... The scales are supposed to be accurate to .1 grain, as you said. And that would appear to be the case, EXCEPT... Weighing multiple dimes results in a difference of almost .3 grains from the expected value. There's a big difference, in my mind, between...
