    I might have a Ruger 77\44 with fliers.

    I suspect the pupperware stock is the reason I receive a 6" flier at 100 Yards. Three shots tight and one drops. I use a rest so I don't think it is me. The fore stock moves and touches the barrel. I have been told that epoxy doesn't hold to the plastic. Does any one have a cost...

    collecting powders for 6mm Creedmoor

    So far I have found Enduron IMR 4166 to be surprisingly accurate and quick to load very accurate 95gr. SST hunting loads. Now I'm looking to move up to more testing for 8:1 twist. I'm going to try 105, 107,108 and 109gr pills. Accuracy is my main concern. I have IMR 4350, H...

    Cleaning carbon from barrel with CLR

    I watched a Erik Cortina video on cleaning stainless barrel with a CLR. Check it out. he claims for stainless it is fantastic. Although he also recommends you test it before you use it on carbon steel. Well stainless has more carbon in it than a standard steel barrel. Doesn't it? Anny...

    use of old 10-10 RCBS scale

    The 10 10 scale has served me well. It works as well today as it did 42 years ago. Although today I find it's time to move on to a digital type. I am having problems with clearly seeing the readings on the 10-10. Also it is slower than a snail. I decided to purchase some blem bullets. It...

    I have 30 single fireformed Lapua 6mm Creedmoor cases. I'm in the process of giving them a second light forming. So I want to have a tight chamber but it seems to be mighty loose. I sized the cases with a Redding type S Match die set using the Redding competition shell holders. They allow me...

    Don't recall ever having a primer not go off.

    So the sight in for the Savage 6mm CR. I figure I must have set the shoulders back too far. Causing the primer not to fire. So my plan is to pull the bullet, dump the powder and soak the primer then knock it out. With Safety glasses... on. 40> years and it finally happened. I'm...

    6mm creedmoor has choice of primers

    I don't want to confuse this with the 45 Auto primer pocket problem of sorting cases for loading. Although I have seen accuracy improvement with 22 Hornet when using the cooler Remington primers. That's my experience with hot and cold primers. If the colder primer gives a more even burn to...
