    I had a Scandium framed S&W 325NG that was a great bullet puller, everybody’s 230 fmj was pretty much hopeless, Winchester’s SXT jhp ammo seemed to be about the only thing that stayed put every time....

    G19 MOS + Holosun SCS 320 = bad thoughts?

    I’m thinking I’d like to try a RDS on my G19 again but in a world of Cheeto dust, donut powder and falling tears I’d prefer an enclosed optic. The SCS 320 looks interesting, we tried test sitting...

    From the look of your cases you’re using way too much lube. I have learned to only lightly lube the case body, you can’t see it and barely feel it. I pass an appropriate size brush lightly lubed...
