That will put this ammo having been loaded for approx. three months. Question is: what should I expect? Does anyone have any experience with ammo loaded for…[Read more]

I received a phone call this morning from a gentleman that is looking for some 38 wad cutters. I had never heard of these, but he tried to explain and I told him that I would ask. Any of you fellows know where a person might find some of these? Thanks, WWE

Last weekend at Reese Bottom during the 3rd relay there appeared to be a gusty breeze that reared its ugly head and seemed to catch several of you good shooters off guard. I would love to hear how many of you missed it or if you noticed it how you held for it. The scores during the 3rd relay seemed to be lower in most cases. Thanks, WWE
