    Tire Guys, Blizzak's or Studs

    I run Blizzaks on 2 sedans and studs on the 4x4 pickup, all on their own rims. I change out the studless in Oct and then whenever the snow stops in the spring. The studs are regulated on when they can be run. Not a problem with studless. I tried Schwab's studless, they do not get the mileage...

    Sierra 107 gr BTHP in 243

    The Nosler 105g Comp's are a great substitute for the A-Max's if the 107's don't work out. Here are some starting loads from QuickLoad for the 107g (for a 26 in or longer barrel): Ramshot Magnum - 47g Reloder-25 - 44.5g IMR 7828 SSC - 43.5g Reloder-22 - 43.5g

    Sighting in AR with an EOTECH

    If a riser has not been used to mount the Eotech, most 223/5.56 AR's when sighted in at 50 yards will be near sighted in at 200 yards and a few inches low at 300.

    What is Smith & Wesson's worst gun?

    So..... no one wants to bring up the 45LC M25's prior to the 25-7? Most chambers varied .453-.460" with a barrel bore dia. at .451".

    Anyone have a 25-5 with proper cylinder throats?

    Will a 25-7, 25-9 cylinder fit/work an older 25-5? Modifications needed if not?

    cast lead for defense

    "... both in terms of what is available, of your ability to use it, and it's effectiveness,..." Great point! I edited slightly. ;)

    Does anyone use a laser sight

    Holo and rear BUIS are on a riser. Some have said that this is too fragle. Might be for full time serious work but for home defense, etc. it works for me.
