		<title>Building Your Own Custom 10/22</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently decided to breathe some new life into my father’s 30-year-old Ruger 10/22 carbine. This rifle has been with him for as long as I can remember. This is the rifle that I learned to shoot with, and until a few days ago, it was straight-off-the-shelf stock. I thought I would share the build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Next Generation Techlite Lumen Master</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears that the folks at Techlite take customer concerns into serious consideration. Not too long ago, Techlite released a Gen-2 Lumen Master 150-Lumen Tactical Flashlight, and more recently, a 200-Lumen version as well. Techlite addressed some major points of contention that arose from the troubled Gen-1 version. You can read more about those problems [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Review: Fiocchi Exacta .223 &#8211; 77gr HPBT MatchKing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently approached by an ammo retailer called www.ammoforsale.com, who sent me some Fiocchi Exacta 77gr Sierra MatchKing-HPBT .223 (223MKD) for testing. So, I pulled out the old 90’s model Ruger Ranch rifle, some targets and a chrono and set out to see what this ammo can do. Needless to say, my tough little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Armor Beat-Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d share these pix with you from a recent trip to the public range. These are the 300 yard rifle gong&#8217;s after several seasons of hard pounding.

It&#8217;s amazing that hard armor plates can be defeated by soft lead given enough velocity and repetition.

		<title>Reloading, Simplified</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first started reloading, I recall feeling a bit overwhelmed by the perceived complexity of the task. Over time, I realized that reloading a modern metallic cartridge is actually quite a simple process, and is only complicated by the vast choices of equipment that we have to choose from. This post is designed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting into 10mm Auto?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One Brasstard.com reader recently contacted me with some questions about getting into a new 10mm Auto pistol. He had some great questions about 10mm guns, ammo, and accessories, and I thought it would be worth sharing with others who might be considering a 10mm in the future.
Hello,
First, I want to say that I really appreciate [...]]]></description>

Beeman &#8220;Crow Magnum&#8221;
Gamo &#8220;Rocket&#8221;
