    From the good people at Powder Valley

    No offense bro, but if you're prepping with Retumbo, Match Primers and ELD-Xs, you need a gold toilet seat in your bunker. Prep classy!

    From the good people at Powder Valley

    That seems like a sound policy and I do the same thing for the most part. It's nice to get it all in same lots (brass, powder, primers and bullets) I should say I USED to do that, and it WAS nice to get it all in same lots, etc. I'll burn down 3 barrels this year while being conservative...

    From the good people at Powder Valley

    Love seeing that from PV. Don't be an enabler. Frontier, by the same measure, just because you want to hoard stuff doesn't mean the rest of us didn't plan ahead as well. The difference? I SHOOT. I shoot A LOT. I don't hoard reloading supplies and then wag a finger at people because...

    Just FYI - Berger bullets fairly recently increased their prices substantially. You can rest assured all dealers and outlets will be selling at the new - significantly higher- prices, I'm also told this price increase was retro-active. Meaning if a specific distributor had unfilled orders...

    Powder Valley

    The people that deserve our everlasting dislike are the distributors of powder who - rather than sell their products at normal prices on their websites - take them directly to GunBroker et al and sell them at scalpers prices. That is someone who the manufacturers such as Hodgdon - IMR should go...

    Sparks and AR500?

    When you consider that research report I linked to and combine it with my anecdotal personal experience with witnessing solid copper bullets and steel targets, the answer is yes - they are that bad. Up close, in broad daylight you can see sparks fly off targets and spray the surrounding area...

    Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    I wish this were true. It still carries the yardage from the environment screen "back and forth" from the environment to the HUD. Which is what appears to be the thing that is manifesting the strange responses - since it is the ONLY thing that I change in the HUD. I THINK the bug shows itself...

    Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    Yes, and everything else is right. It is a pure glitch that in a couple of cases waffles up to 4/10ths of a minute just by going back and forth between the HUD and environment screens and I've seen the drop go down by 1/10th when adding yardage in the HUD and then change again when you go back...

    Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    Is there a fix for the HUD issue when you use the +/- buttons? I have several situations where I will hit the 'plus' button and the drop goes down and visa versa. Then, if I use the "back" button and go to the input screen and go right back to the HUD screen. the drop changes.

    Shooting Schools

    Since I've only attended the Gunwerks Long Range University (Levels 1 & 2) I'm not qualified to comment on the other schools but I can share what we liked/disliked about our experience with LRU. Firstly, the biggest thing for us was to find a school truly dedicated to hunting. The LRU was...

    Rear bag

    After accidentally leaving my Holland rear bag sitting on the edge of a rimrock several miles walk from the nearest road........I went on a search for a new rear bag. I wanted something lighter because although I really liked D Hollands bag, it was really heavy and flopped around a lot while...

    Sparks and AR500?

    If you read the study that was conducted (link posted above) there are several key points that immediately stand out as worth mentioning. When taken in context, they conclude that the risk of fire started by bullets hitting AR500 steel targets is extremely unlikely if said bullet is made of...
