just got the e-mail from Midway, & got 300 coming... I can't tell you how long it's been... I think they were backordered before Sandy Hook... :D

curious... my kick right now seems to be more efficient cartridges in my bolt actions... don't get me wrong, I still love my '06's & magnum cartridges, but with everything costing more & components tougher to get ( like powders ) my newest custom is a 6.8 SPC... yep... pretty anemic compared to...

:) Shooter Round-up in Morristown MN Alhman's got a pic in the Minneapolis Star Trib... can't see me for all the smoke, but it was pretty fun... also shot a bolt action 50 Browning... anyone else go there over the weekend, or lucky enough to go to an event that you get to shoot a Gatling gun???

semi autos... yep I get that, but how about magnum pressures ??? any other conditions??? I've started buying a few neck sizing dies for my smaller bottlenecked cartridges... just curious if this is something I'll start doing for every rifle that has a camming action closing, or if cartridges...

as I'm building a new 6.8 SPC bolt action rifle, I've been looking at components... I'm seeing lots of new slippery match grade bullets & premium hunting bullets, a lot of them geared towards the 6.8... but does anyone think some of these new bullets may help out the old .270 Winchester ??? I'm...

yes... the old 22-250 barrel is off, & the chamber throat is even further gone than my retired builder buddy thought, with it on the gun... so today I ordered ( from PTG ) a one piece bolt, with Sako medium extractor, & round knurled bolt handle, with a 6.8 - .420" bolt face, with spiral...

not bragging, as there are many of you who can certainly better this, but it was good shooting for me... could use some advice on windage though... rifle... old school heavy barrel Remmy 700 1 in 12 twist scope Vortex Crossfire 6-18 Ammo... some old Federal 50 grain hollow point factory ammo...

so... I am completing my 2nd loading bench, both are stainless steel topped... my small bench has a couple holes drilled in it already, but am looking at trying not to drill any in the new bigger bench... ... so I've been in a couple discussions with a couple guys that have done under bench...

I have begun a quest... to get my lil calibers shooting like lasers... one of the biggest challenges is the 22 Hornet... yes, it'll shoot minute of angle, or a little over... but I'm looking to cut those groups in 1/2... one thing I remember my loading mentor telling me, is 22 caliber cast...

have that thread about the Remy 700 in 22-250, that may have the barrel shot out, that's not shooting well right now, & I'll likely have to rebarrel... got me thinking, I'm really not into those over bore rifles, that shoot out barrels quickly, but this rifle was my FIL's, so I'd like to keep...

I've heard the pins STM sells are magnetic stainless... I bought some to try off E-bay ( love my stainless pin tumbling BTW ;) ) but mine are not magnetic so... if the pins are magnetic, they have a higher iron content correct ??? more susceptible to rusting ??? so how I use my pins, they are...

I have a custom 22 Hornet revolver that I added a 1 in 9 twist barrel, & was pretty happy with the results of my mini whisper, shooting 55 - 68 grain bullets out of the Hornet case... so I did the same to a new Ruger 77-22 Hornet... both have standard chambers, ( though I under stand some smiths...

I would assume there is a collector market for these, but don't know for sure if these are collectable at all ??? I assumed that certain bores are rarer than others... these were collected by my FIL, & we've never fired them, I think all are in reasonably good shape... have a .410 with an...

trying to get a scope test on the new scope I mounted on one of my FIL's old Remy 700 BDL's in 22-250... my 1st try out, I had the wrong ammo ( loaded up specifically for a different rifle, & was grouping about 2.5" at 100 yards ) well I went though the ammo, & found some loads he had loaded...

surprised how small it actually is... it's like the size of my RCBS junior, definitely smaller than my rock chucker... I still like the "control" of a single stage, but plan on using this for some of the ammo I have higher round counts... I rarely would ever shoot the kind of quantities to...

so before I begin, I'm not a technological dinosaur, but I do use a "dumb" phone, rather than a smart phone... ... I'm looking at just relaxing & having some fun with my bolt action rifles, at home, on my personal rifle range ( I have several threads going about scopes, & reticles already )...

factory rounds are shooting very well in my re-barreled/ re-chambered Remington 700... I've finally accumulated enough brass that I can start loading this cartridge... anyone on here load for it ??? got a load that's pretty close ( or better ) than the factory loads ??? I have several 1000 17...

I have a nice collection of center fire bolt action rifles ranging from 17 Fireball, to 416 Rigby, & it's come time to do some "serious casual" shooting, so I'm going through & replacing scopes as needed, & adding some to rifles I got, that didn't have a scope... most of my shooting is done...

I'm in the process of replacing a few cheap 3X9 scopes on some of my rifles... the "real" hunting rifles, can keep a good quality 3X9, but the bulk of my shooting now, is relaxed shooting off my bench at ranges from 50 - 300 yards, & I'm looking to improve my casual shooting ( both with wind...

so lately I've been accumulating a bunch of realistic molded plastic toys, with the intention of having some friends over for a "safari" my game runs from Elephants, Rhinos, Water Buffalo, Kudu, etc. to American Bison, grizzly / brown bear, etc... I've made up a bunch of little steel platforms...
