Check your PM inbox... ...I'm getting close to aborting my trip to Branford due to your lack of communication. Figure Saturday the 15th is a no go. Hey dude - sorry, haven't had any time to even sign in until now. A friend of mine lost his kid on Friday... definitely more important to be around wit...

My aunt has farmland in Litchfield county and my cousin has a range of sorts on the premises. About 160 meters with an eroded earthen backstop. We'll just have to pick up the debris. Go on Friday or Saturday and catch the local gun shop while there. I just have to check the hunting schedule (land l...

Who wants to shoot an iMac?

So my friend has reached a boiling point with his iMac, and said he wants to shoot it with a pellet gun he has. An idea came to mind with my .308... and I figured, why not make a nice YouTube video/fun out of it? A few screen cracking shots with the pellet gun, then a lovely .308 strength test? I ne...

Soon indeed. I can't Friday though.

Stupid busy lately, sorry. Working a job and a half and sleeping 3 hours a night.

I'll definitely come to Branford for some R&D, haha. Could we shoot there or would we need to go to N.Stonington / Blue trail? On a side note, my Mil-dot app was configured incorrectly, which I'm sure didn't help the sight in process. I had 1 in 12 twist in there, and slightly different specs fr...

The point is, just trying a lot different rounds and hoping to get lucky is not the right approach, there is a method to properly figure out what should be right and just buying ammo and hoping is wasting money. There are very good reasons we care about barrel twist, velocity, bullet BC and little ...

I had a shooter sample some of my Sinterfire reloads out of his DPMS Panther (or whatever it was... .308 anyhow) at HRSS one day. They printed just about where the fancy 168gr Match ammo was printing. This doesn't prove anything one way or the other, of course. He just shot my ammo for free. I don'...

A price tag does not guarantee accuracy. It took considerable work to get my 12FVSS from out of the box to .484" 200 yard groups. Knowing what to change and why is the key. I'm sure that's true, and I hope it is! I'd hate to have to pay $3 a round to get something accurate when $1.50 each can ...

Thanks for the advice. I'll admit that I know as little about reloading as Sarah Palin knows about string theory - but I am interested in it. I honestly just don't have the time to go shooting very often, but every few months when I do, accuracy makes it worthwhile. I know it sounds stupid, but tryi...

FINALLY got to the damn range with the gun (after a bizzarre gun dream last night..). The Ruger 308 is a mean chunk of metal. Went to Blue Trail and murdered some paper targets at 100 yards. It took 10 or so shots to sight in because I was burning through the $20 box of cheapo (read: SHIT) 150 gr am...

Crap!! Just missed you. I was away on vacation, not looking at the forum. Sorry.

What about this weekend, or next?

Yeah. I missed my opportunity this weekend, so hopefully next.

I still haven't even shot mine. I have to get to a range. Hopefully this weekend!

Just from a few dry fire (still ridding myself of some flinch) tests I can tell the trigger is fantastic.

Hey guys, sorry- haven't been on in a few days. Got the everything sorted, but haven't even found the time/place to shoot yet. Anybody doing anything soon?
