this is my reloading slash hobby bench and its in my bedroom for now since i dont have a proper mancave at the moment. pretty much everything i have is new except for the rifle and a couple boxes of bullets. everything i used to use was my fathers and since i no longer live there i had to buy...

recently i was able to talk to a Federal ammunition representative at he Eastern great outdoor sports show. i asked him why there hasnt been any of these primers for sale for quite awhile. what he told me was is that there is no difference between manufacturing lines for these primers and and...

308 winchester very reliable and light on recoil for a 30 caliber

i have the 1750 and its definitly long enough. what i would do if i were you is id find a store that carries that case and take your rifles and test fit them. you will have to cut out the foam for your rifles. i used a soldering gun with a peice of wire attached to it to act as a hot knife after...

I would take a look at Kelty and REI then they are both good brand's and should be in that price range

When I got mine 10 years ago it was 350 bucks but it's the cost of being as light and as warm as possible... I think I got mine out of brigade quartermaster catalogue

I have the tactical 4 it shrinks to about the thickness of a rugby ball and the length of a meatloaf
