I shot a buddies Ruger M77 Mark 2 Target Grey .22-250 yesterday and absolutely loved the trigger on it. This was the first time I've shot a 2 stage trigger and I was wondering if they made one for my 700VLS? Is it even possible? I have found that in my shooting, the trigger effects my accuracy...

I was just wondering how many AR-15 owners on here own more firearms than just their "evil black gun"? And does anyone know how much a full auto license is? I would buy an AR if a full auto license isn't too expensive. Without full auto, I just don't see the point.

Has anyone noticed a "real" difference when using Hodgdon spherical powders when going from say, 80F outside to say 20F outside? Should I really be worried about this, or should I just load some H380 and forget about it? I'm trying a lot of different powders for .22-250 and I don't want my...

Well guys I've finally found my pet load for my .22-250. 36.4gr Varget with a 50gr V-Max. Win case, WLR primer. 2.485" O.A.L. I've been trying to find info on moly and it seems confusing at best. Some say you have to use a totally different cleaning technique and some say you have to clean the...

What would I need to get started? Are there classes I can take? Should I start out with a book? Where I live there are absolutely no smiths. So I figure I'll have to do it myself if I want it done right. Kind of my life philosophy. I shoot my .22-250 so much that I know I'm gonna eventually need...

Anyone tried either of these powders? If so, are they any more accurate than say Varget? I'm shooting .22-250 and was just wanting to get some input before I went out and bought these. Thanks guys.

Anyone tried this stuff? I got some yesterday and after I use a bronze brush, I run a patch on a jag through and the patch is so blue it's almost purple:eek: But if I swab it and let it soak for a few hours and then push a jag through, I barely get anything at all. Do you guys think this ultra...

Hey guys I just wanted to say that I just got my Lee cutter and lock stud case trimming setup from Midway today and I love it. It pains me to say that all my Forster will be used for now is neck reaming. I can even leave the case in and chamfer it right after I trim it just by picking up my RCBS...

I was wondering which source you guys consider the most reliable for load info. Because every source I look at shows different listings. For instance. I have this book called "One Book / One Caliber" for .22-250 Rem. It shows 36.4 grains of Varget moving a 50 grain V-Max at 3800fps. This is the...

Would you guys say that a 40 grain V-Max at 4000fps out of a .22-250 would be an adequate load for coyotes or should I use just a PSP type bullet? I could also use a 50 grain V-Max if you think that would be better. Never shot a yote yet and was just wondering what you all used. When the search...

What's the fastest anyone on here has pushed these things without vaporizing them? I'm using 36.5gr of Varget at a guesstimated 3700fps. Anyone tried faster? Hodgdon shows max load of 37.5gr out of a 24" barrel at 3800fps. I'm using a 26" barrel with a 1 in 14" twist. Think I'm already at...

Is every one else's search function screwed up like mine?

Well I've had it. I have scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed but I can still see copper in the rifling in the end of my barrel. I've tried Birchwood Casey bore scrubber, Hoppes Elite Foaming Gun Cleaner, Outer's Nitro, and Remington Bore Cleaner. Nothing will get it out. Pulling my hair out here...

Quote from 918v "I take a new case, FL size it, and use a dremel to cut a slit through the neck and into the shoulder. I then insert a bullet, chamber and close the bolt. I carefully eject, and measure the oal. I keep these together as a reference and to track throat erosion." I did this friday...

I'm thinking of buying a Hornady beam scale. Anyone have any experience with one? Also, would I be better off buying a digital scale? I was looking at a Lyman XP1000, but I heard digitals are inaccurate.

Do any of you guys worry about getting the inside of you cases clean? Seems to me that as long as the primer pocket and inside the neck are clean I shoud be good to go. Right now all I'm doing is cleaning out the primer pocket with a q-tip and water and using a bronze brush inside the neck. I'm...

Anyone ever try these or are they a gimmick?

Should I be able to chamber a shell directly after it's been FL sized or do I have to seat a bullet first? I tried to FL size some once fired brass and then right after it came out of the size die I tried to chamber them and none of them would fit. This might seem like a dumb question but it was...

From reviews on Midway I'm starting to lean toward Hornady. What do you guys think?

I've done several searches and come up with several different answers on this. Should I only neck size my .22-250 brass since it will only be shot out of 1 rifle or should I full length size for my 700 VLS? Seems like guys are saying that if you neck size you have to do it all by feel? That...
