Haven't been a member long, but long enough to identify a few trolls who just hang out in here looking for an opportunity to show the world what d-bags they can be. Just disregard and ignore.

Unless you don't know what you are doing, know the unit, need a guide, etc. Then it might be a really good deal for someone.

This is the whole point that I am trying to make. Since you can't really know for certain if it shoots better or not with a thorough break-in, I'd rather play it safe and do the break-in.

what risks are involved in "rushing" this process? as long as you don't blast enough rounds back to back to overheat and shoot out the barrel, what risks are involved in not cleaning after every shot? i recently made a big purchase on a LR rifle. i shot about 10 rounds and cleaned it well. i'm on about shot 50 after the initial cleaning and my groups keep getting better every trip to the range (.3 MOA last trip) Who is to say that they might not be grouping even better had you done a more thorough break-in?

Lots of differing opinions for sure. I'm usually investing quite a bit of money into a new rifle, developing a load for it, etc. I'm going to shoot quite a few rounds thorough it anyway, so I'm not spending anything extra on rounds. FOR ME the extra couple of hours of time cleaning during break-in (shooting is a hobby that I enjoy so why rush it?) and a few dollars in cleaning supplies is well worth the piece of mind I get knowing it was done properly, even if is doesn't make a difference in the long run. A new rifle setup is a big investment in time and money for most of us, so why risk rushing it?

My method FIRST 10 SHOTS After each shot: Use two consecutive patches of a bore solvent to wet the bore. Wet a nylon brush with bore solvent and scrub the bore 10-15 times. Wet the bore with a patch of bore solvent. Run a dry patch through to remove bore solvent. Saturate a patch with a copper solvent/cream. Work back and forth in the bore five or six times. Remove copper solvent/cream with several consecutive patches of bore solvent. Finish with two consecutive dry patches. To further protect against copper buildup add a small amount of bore conditioner/oil to a patch and run through the bore two times. Run a dry patch through to remove excessive bore conditioner/oil. NEXT 20 SHOTS Repeat above procedure after five consecutive shots.

I recently picked up some once fired brass from a friend that was fired out of his brother's 300 Win Mag. I only use FL dies when I reload. My question is does using the FL die completely return the brass to the original shape, or does it still retain some form features from the original firing? Will there be a difference if I reload, shoot it through my rifle (reform fire) and then run it through the FL die again? I hope that makes sense.

I've had ATVs with and without 4wd, both utility and sport ATVs as well. It is a nice feature, but I have never found a situation that my 2wd couldn't handle.

Looks like HPO (High Point Outfitters) put a giant on the ground. No idea what unit. Probably up north of Flagstaff somewhere. That seems to be their home turf. I'm sure they will post it on here soon. https://www.facebook.com/groups/659453510857296/

I would, but I don't want to still someone else's thunder.

I love my Vanguard Alta+ 264AO. I keep hearing people talk about the Outdoorsmans tripod and I don't get it for the life of me. No doubt they are great tripods, but when I have gone to Outdoorsmans and looked at them, I don't see anywhere near enough upside over my Vanguard to justify over 4 times the cost. I am totally open to them, just need someone to help convince me what makes them so great over others that are SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper.

Saw a picture of giant myself this morning out of unit 1.

This is just pure ignorant. Essentially saying I built that walls, paid the electric bills, bought the tools. But I did not pay for the abortion to take place. STUPID!!!

The murder of innocent children should be everyone's business. If you can watch the video she references without pure disgust and outrage, you are a soulless despicable human being.

Great comments last night by Fiorina:
