I know it’s late in the day, but Happy Easter everyone.  We had an absolutely beautiful day here in Southern Illinois. Highs reached the mid 70’s and only a slight breeze from the South.  I took the T/C Compass back out this afternoon for round two.  If you haven’t check out the first post here’s […]

My journey to obtain a 308 has been a long difficult road.  Back in the fall, I stumbled across Ocean374‘s deal on a Thompson Center Compass from Kentucky Gun Company.  They had a smoking deal, along with a factory rebate, making this rifle $225 in my hands.  I picked up a SWFA fixed 20 power […]

Speeds Feeds and Ballistics At the 2018 Shot Show Speer released their 200gr 10MM ammunition. Over the past year it has received mixed reviews. Fanatics of 10MM have seen this ammo as nothing more than what 40S&W is capable of. Speer has seen a lot of positive press as well, this 10MM ammunition delivering the […]

Answer – it’s all about the access to power…!! FortuneCookie45LCFortuneCookie45LC started posting videos on YouTube in 2012.  He has been a […]

This two-hour monstrosity is a complete beginner's guide to loading light recoil 38 Special. I use a reloading setup that can be quickly set up and torn down for those without enough space for a dedicated reloading area.

Trying out the 75gr Speer Gold Dot in 223 Remington. The test powders are Alliant Power Pro 2000 MR and Alliant Reloder 15. Accuracy and expansion tests.

Back out with the Compass today. I didn't have the best luck yesterday with it, so today I am trying something different. I have 12 rounds of Hornady 125g SST's loaded up with Varget and a few Speer 168g's that shot decent yesterday to re-shoot. After today, I have decided that the Compass is fine, it just doesn't like the Speer rounds.

Celebrating Christmas with the 500 and some 350g Speer bullets. Merry Christmas and remember the Reason for the Season.

Out with the .308 Compass today. Trying out the Speer 168g Match with Varget and CFE223. I even had a hangfire with one round.
