    Questions regarding scope/rifle combo

    Straightshooter, I wanted to give you an update on my Savage BAS .308. I have had good results out to 400 yards with match grade ammo. I decided that I would need to start reloading in order to take it to the next level. I purchased a Dillon 550B press and am almost reasy to start my first...

    Yeah, I know. It's a miracle that we are not still in the brig. Belive it or not, knowone was busted down. I was just a 19 year old lance corporal at the time and didn't think twice about it. We all got an *** chewing from our platoon commander. At least it was the entire platoon and not just a...
