I have had the best luck with Burris scopes.

I have had very good luck with the Burris Fullfield II with the E1 reticle.

I have very good luck with my Vortex Fury HD 5000.

I have noticed that the tips are off center a bit in most of the tipped barnes bullets that I have used. I have not tried to measure how much, but it is visible and I would guess that 0.006"-0.008" is close. It doesn't appear to affect the accuracy though.

I would use the 1911 in either a heavy loaded .45, or 10mm. My 1911s are as reliable as any revolver.

I have had several family members who served in the military, but the 3 that come 1st for me to remember on Memorial day are: My dad Orville Tougaw, who spent 3 years in Italy and Germany during WWII, missing the birth of his oldest child. My uncle R.L. Moore who was killed on Okinawa during...

I recommend the Burris Fullfield as well. I like the E1 a bit better than the II.

I got the Fury HD 5000 about a couple of years ago. I really like them. Got them so that I didn't have to have a separate range finder. They work very well. I looked through another hunter's Swarovski range finding binoculars last fall in New Mexico. I could not see a drastic improvement with...

Another option for a flat lander is to find a reservoir with an earth dam and climb up and down the back side of the dam while wearing a pack.

I once put a 20 moa base on a 308; it resulted in the point of impact at 100 yards being over 4" high with the scope adjustment turned all the way down. I can't remember the scope that I had on the rifle at the time, but I went to a 0 moa base for this particular one.

Good to have you here! I have the same opinion of short barreled powder eaters; they are not an efficient use of powder. But each of us has their own goal and way to reach it.

I do not trim any pistol brass only rifle. I started with the Lyman Universal, I was not happy with it. Started using a LE Wilson about 25 years ago and have been using it ever since.

I have never sealed either primers or bullets. I have hunted in all kinds of storms, and never had an issue.

Welcome from Kansas, I am fairly new to this site too. I have really enjoyed it here!

Welcome from Kansas, I have found that no matter how long you have been shooting, reloading, hunting, etc.; that there is always something to be learned. This is a great site for sharing experience.
