I have no idea why--but when an ad popped up for EA Brown advertising 18" Shaw barrels in 350 legend for $149 I went ahead and ordered one. :rolleyes:

I just received an e-mail from Applied Ballistics discussing their new approach to calculating BC/SD--basically "abandoning" the notion of using the G1 or G7 "canned" profile for calculating trajectories. As far as I can tell (I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box)--they're using data from from...

Caught my fancy--mostly cause I don't know 8mm and don't have a WSM chambered weapon. Plus I like lever actions. My only reservation is my first BLR came with a 7.5 lb trigger pull and I don't feel up to tuning it myself. thoughts?

It's funny how rarely in the forums anyone mentions Berger bullets as their choice--any particular reason?

I live in the sticks so pretty much everything I get is ordered on-line. I've grown accustomed to about 50% of my packages arriving with some kind of damage--I guess that's just the nature of multiple carrier transfers. I just ordered some mount bases from B&H last Friday and selected a...

So here's the background: A local businessman has let me hunt and shoot on his properties for years. He takes off to go on hunts all over the world several times a year and his thing is bagging big game. He always has let a local gun store take care of his rifles prior to leaving for a hunt...

I'm the first to admit I suck with handguns--might have something to do with I don't practice enough.;) Found this little puppy hiding in the back of the safe and decided to burn through some of a large excess of 9mm RN ammo that I have. It does a pretty good job of getting rid of it pretty...

I just ordered one to replace my well-used (and abused) TC Impact. Anyone tried any other bullets other than their pricey 285 gr aero tips? Sabots with a smaller bullet?

Thinking about lugging mine into the woods this fall to hunt deer (hopefully big ones) but have run into a bit of a quandary about bullet choice. I'll be hunting thick woods where even 50 yds is a pretty rare shot, but the relatively lower velocities put me in that "does it or does it not open"...

I bought and it's very well made, except for one drawback--it is anything but stable--because the main tube and table top are secured by one screw--which basically creates two pivot points. Why caldwell didn't simply install two extra screw clamps for each attachment I will never know--it would...

Yes I'm lazy--I just bought a couple hundred Petersen cases in 6 creedmoor--does anyone have any idea how it's internal capacity compares with say Lapua's (+,-, or about the same)?

It's been a while since I last did an AR build, and I got the itch again--but this time I'm really going out on a limb and trying something wild and whacky (for me, anyways). I'd spill the beans now, but there's a good chance it may not work (hint, nobody makes them as far as I know, probably...

Decided to take a break from all my rifle shooting and have some handgun fun, haven't really done anything with my lone wolf timberwolf frame since I bought it, and decided to try out some 65 gr inceptor composite bullets. Years ago I had Lone Wolf custom make a 7.5" 9x 25 Dillon barrel for...

Has anyone tried Hornady's a-tips yet? I watched their explanation of the difference between it and the eld--but didn't hear anything mentioned performance wise other than it's made of aluminum. I have .243 and .264 on the way--couldn't find anything else.

I recently ran out of magnum and was on-line ordering a refill--when I noticed ramshot has a new powder called LRT made specifically for 338 Lapua Magnum. Since I just started dabbling with the 338LM, was wondering if anyone has tried it out--specifically how does it compare to other "go-to's"...

OK--let me get the disclaimer business out of the way right from the start: this technique maybe (probably) exists already some place, especially since I'm a complete novice to precision scope use, but I haven't seen mention of it anywhere and arrived at it through my own (often wayward)...

Interesting that today's GunsAmerica digest shows two new versions of bolt locking schemas that use "screw in" movement--one by the Army (enabling the peak psi to ramp up to 100 k psi) and one by CMMG that increases lock timing and thereby reducing blowback pressure and carrier mass used in a...

Bought the rifle this winter and so far have been very impressed with savage's execution. very adjustable, lightweight compared to the tactical space guns, and most of all soft recoiling *****cat for a very powerful cartridge. I've had a night force SHV on top, a Nikon black 1000 and even...

I'm new to this caliber having purchased a savage 110 LRH this winter and have only developed loads with the 230 eldx--which shot very well. I recently came across some scuttlebutt which more or less boiled down to Berger discovered a year or two ago that the 285 gr projectile was the "sweet...

I've been reloading for some time now; and I never really paused to think about this one but occasionally I run across some cartridges which by virtue of being able to load them to a longer COL than their normal specs I gain extra case capacity for more powder. In some cases, especially when...
