      308 Subsonic Loads

      I have been loading 308 with about 46gr of BL-C(2). Recently a friend asked me about subsonic loads for it. So I checked out Hodgdons site and they list 8.0 gr (max) Titegroup or Clays for 308, using 168 gr Sierra HPBT and OAL of 2.800" That leaves a LOT of space in the case that is filled by...

      Louisville ranges

      Gonna go see a friend in Louisville and would like to do some shooting. Is there a range in Louisville area (KY or IN) that works well for pistol and rifle?

      DPMS AR15

      A coworker of mine just called and told me that 2nd Amendment in Whitestown has DPMS ARs for $616 (he's pretty sure that's what the price was). I've got 3 lowers that still need built but for the price are these a decent gun? I think he said flattop and obviously no optic but appear to be a good...

      Which Rifle Dies

      I'm finally to the point where I'll be reloading 222, 223 and 308. Used often enough to justify the purchas of the press and dies so that I can tailor the loads to specific guns. I've been using Lee dies for pistols but need all the updated info and suggestions/opinions on rifle set ups. I'll...
