Although I have not been able to verify this, I heard in passing that the University of Arizona has decided to no longer fly the American flag anywhere on the campus. I was listening to the radio earlier and caught part of the host apologizing for going off and possibly insulting the...

Hello, I have been sitting around thinking about my next rifle project. In the work room I have a couple VZ 98 Mauser actions laying around and a Turk 96. One of the 98's is to be a 300 Win Mag. I would like to build something on the 96, but am not sure what. I am leaning towards a single...

Hope no one beat me to this one. Okay boys, here it is. Just in time for that weekend at the range. http://wsphotofews.excite.com/033/mf/sy/b8/bE69707.jpg Happy plinking this weekend. Be sure to use a rest, don't want to miss, now do we? ;)

Hope that someone can clear up something for me. What is the heaviest bullet that can be safely used in a M1 Garand? I have seen/read that nothing over 175 should be used, then I see 1000 yard shooter using 200+ grain bullets. The heavier bullet is a definite advantage out to 1000 yards, but...

Okay fellow accuracy freaks, here's one for some discussions. Is it me or does stick powder giver more consistant results than ball? Tested calibers .308W, 30.06 and .223. The .308 was fired in a bolt gun, the '06 Garand and the .223 AR15. 30 rounds out of each gun. All loads were weighed...

(part one is on the reloading board) I have a really nice small ring Turk Mauser action sitting in my workshop. I have been thinking anout what to do with this fellow for awhile. Right now, I am leaning towards a bench rest rifle. Maybe in 6mm PPC or 6mm Remington. Now for the dumb stuff: How...

I'm not sure how to word this. If you are trying to load a bullet with a weight between two published weights, do you have a rule of thumb for figuring the difference between these two weight? Example, you have data for for a 150 grain bullet, and you have data for a 175 grain bullet, how...

Hi, Just picked up another Winnie 98...love them rifles. Bit of history, loads of fun and they look so darn cool. This puppy is new in the box with only about 50 rounds put through it. I also know the guy I got it from so there are no tall tales on this one. The only problem that this gun has...

Hello, Here is my dilemna, I have 1911 in 38 Super that I like to shoot. The problem is that a standard 38 Super bullet is hard to russle up in these parts. At the suggestions of others, I have loaded 9mm bullets. AT best the accuracy with the 9mm bullet is irratic. Actually I can push a .355...

Hi, Yep, I have caught the accuracy bug. Was considering all that is involved to squeeze that last bit of hair splitting out of my gear and was wondering: how important is it to turn the neck of a rifle case? Thanks.

A few months ago, I picked up a 5 gallon bucket full of mixed head stamped 30.06 cases. Tonight I finally sat down and sorted the brass. I did good! Plenty of LC Match, US Military M2, and a small amount of commercial stuff. One thing struck me as very odd. On some of the commercial cases, not...

The trigger on my Garand, DCM purchase Springfield built, is not so great. Like most military triggers it could use some work. The gunsmiths that I trust in this area will not touch a semi-auto rifle trigger group because of liability. As one fellow told me, "it is an ant's whisker between a...

I was just wondering, Alliant states that the military is now using Reloader 15 in their 308 match rounds. Neither Sierra or Alliant are releasing data on this cartridge. The bullet is a Sierra BTHP Match. Has anyone dissected this load yet?

I should know this, but here it goes; Does the chamber fully support the cartridge on the Beretta 96? Thanks.

Well the subject line says it all. I "inherited" about 4 pounds of this stuff. The quickness charts seem to indicate that it is a medium speed powder, pretty close to 4895. My Garand is my true baby and I only want to feed it proper Gun Chow. Thanks.

Hello, This may be a silly question, but the new extractor just arrived from Cylinder and Slide for my P35 High Power. This is the internal 1911 style extractor. When adjusting the extractor, do the same rules about shaping the claw like one would with a 1911 pistol apply? And is the tesion...

Hello all, Need a favor. Could anyone tell me about Austin, TX. I am contemplating a position in that city. I know and love south Tejas, been through Houstan and some of the other coastal areas, but have never been to Austin. I would like to know, first and formost, A) Gun friendly? B) cost of...

I'm not sure this goup is the right place to ask this question. Heck, I don't know where it really fits, but here it goes. Can anyone clear somthing up for me. I like high power rifle. I was buying my ammo from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Good ammo at great prices. ANd I feel like I'm...

Yep, that's right folks. The Mrs. keeps "adopting" my firearms. We were out shooting yesterday and she got a hold of my just accuratized Springfield 1911. She put a couple mags through it, walked up to me and said "Mine now". It has taken up residence on her side of the bed, next to my (her)...

AARRGGHHHH!!! Am I feeling real stupid right now. I have been having a bear of a time getting my wife's AR15 sighted in. There have been other problems, and I have pestered the good folks in the other departments. SO I hope you folks don't mind. Here is what's happening. I decided to sight in...
