It works great. Easily kicks the butt of imperial wax, which kicks anything else's butts. Besides I can water proof my boots with it. I can't put imperial wax on my boots, can I? It smells a bit funky though. -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Haven't seen much discussion here. But on othere fora, especially long range or bench rest related, hyperventilation is always involved when they mention this term. It could be considered just a small step behind gun blowing up. Is it really that bad? Is it that hard to remove? I think not...

The extension somehow comes slightly loose. I can feel wobble and see the barrel shoulder moves when I wiggle the muzzle. Have called the manufacturer for warranty repair. I reckon it will take weeks or even months before the rifle runs again. That makes me contemplate doing it myself. The...

Saw an used huqsvarna bolt action in .30-06 at local store. Forgot the exact model. Asking for $400 with scope. Based on what I read, they are pretty good rifles. Mauser action, controlled feed. Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks. -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

They have become popular. Small rectangular shape of thin pads stuck on the ID of scope rings. Supposed to be nylon, but they look more like fabric. I think they are to improve the grip. Do you keep them? I don't. I like full contact between the ring and the tube, instead of just 2...

I want to try my hands on barrel tuner. But I'm too cheap to spend hundred of dollar for a hunk of metal. A few ideas to try with much lower costs. One is of course the flash hider / muzzle brake I may already have on the muzzle end of the barrel. With a jam nut I can move it in and out, can...

I like a 2-stage trigger. A true 2-stage trigger I mean, in which the longer 1st stage pull takes out the majority of sear engagement, so that the 2nd stage breaks crisp. But still 2-stage triggers resets differently for follow-up shot. Some require excessive amount of trigger release to...

I did that. Put together with most affordable (cheap) components I could find; blemish lower + BCA side charging upper. The only upgrade is a $65 2-stage trigger made decent with a bit of work. First the gas was shut off to turn the rifle into a straight-pull. A load was worked up. Loaded...

Brand new 50 pieces of .243 win brass. None has flash holes. How does it work? Did I just got the wrong batch that sneaked pass QC? No new thing under the sun, said the wise man. But this is new to me. -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Asking for favor from QuickLoad users. I use GRT. Their CFE223 powder model seems way off. If you can run the following load on QL, it will help me out a lot. Caliber: .223REM Case volume: 31gr H2O Barrel length: 18" Bullet: Hornady 22760B, 62gr FMJBT COAL: 2.25" Charge: 27gr GRT...

Certain budget make and model of scope has received numerous favorable reviews. Almost all but one famous reviewer. He would never put that scope on his guns, because of chromatic aberration, especially at high magnifications(>20x). Why do we care about chromatic aberration? Nice not to have...

20x or above is high. I used to think it is good thing to have. I tried that and I became skeptical. I almost always go back to below 15x or even 10x. Lately I started using fixed 4x and 10x. I simply fell in love with fixed power scopes. That begs the question. Why do people pay extra...

It was raining pretty hard yesterday on our outdoor range. I noticed subsonic ammo doing worse than usual, while high speed rounds are more or less the same. Is it possible that the slower bullet got deflected when it hit the rain drops? -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Thinking about getting one. Question is how much magnification I should get. I heard our military snipers used to have fixed 10x. They could hit torso sized target out 800yd. But I'm kinda old, so 12x reasonable? I mostly shoot at paper and steel targets. To be able to hit torso target at...

I load for my AR-15 A2 with LC brass. I have noticed the neck cracks earlier than any other calibers I have been loading. Annealing every 5 loads, they still can't last more than 10 loads. Perhaps the small caliber stretches the neck brass more than bigger calibers percentage-wise? Turning...

Sounds like an interesting caliber to tinker with. Itching to get an ar-10 chambering that. Does it burn barrel fast? Thanks for your inputs. -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Has anyone used one? It is cheaper than the other brands. Picked one up for 6.5mm creedmoor and a Redding bushing. $10 off promotion at MidwayUSA. -TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Got a brand new Lyman die set for 6.5mm creedmore. It is part of a deal with some lightly used Hornady brass. First use I found the brass hard to go into the sizer, even it was amply lubed. It is the sizing down of the brass neck that is rough and scratchy. The brass neck came out with thin...

Do I need to recheck parallax when I change zoom? POI seems to change a bit at different zoom levels. Not much, 0.5MOA or so. Thanks. -TL Sent from my SM-P610 using Tapatalk

A2 stock is a bit too long a pull for me. Numrich has bare A1 stock for cheap https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1487090 Has anyone used this part? Is it foam filled or just a hollow shell? I can contact them and ask. But the sales person may not know the details. Thanks. -TL Sent...
