    MOA from a 6.8SPC

    I've built a bunch of 6.8SPC rifles over the last handful of years, and most performed well but not stellarly (2 MOA or slightly better with factory loads) in the accuracy department. I now want to build a hunter that is capable of MOA performance out to 300 yards. If anyone has built an MOA or...

    Finally did it

    I finally broke down and ordered an H&R Pardner in 28ga. It should be in my favorite local shop by Saturday. I can't shoot it yet due to medical restrictions but my ortho should clear me for light shooting by the end of April. I have no real need for it. I got it just because it sounded fun...

    I'm thinking of sending a few of my already-in-need-of-refinish Model 19s off for conversion to round butt configuration. Recommendations for who to use for the conversion would be appreciated.... Any downsides to doing the conversion?

    Regular cleaning of S&W (bright) nickel finish?

    I shoot a lot of cast lead reloads in my factory nickel plated S&W Model 19 ,and I perpetually struggle to remove the powder staining from the cylinder using elbow grease and CLP. Is there a better approach that won't harm the nickel finish?

    Non-toxic shot in a fixed choke Citori?

    It is safe to shoot non-toxic show in a Japanese-made Citori with fixed (non-Invector) chokes? I am getting conflicting data on the question, and I would like to potentially use my Mod/Imp Citori barrel for waterfowl.....

    Loading 12ga promo shotshell hulls....

    I've been casually loading up Remington promo hulls with good success for a while now, but really hadn't ventured beyond the Rem hulls other than to play around and kill some time at the bench. I recently decided to specifically load once-fired 12ga hulls from each of the bulk-packs offerings...

    Why a Citori?

    The Browning Citori seems to have a very dedicated following, and it certainly has been in production for a very long time. I like the attribute of longevity (I have a number of Auto5s, and my weekly shooter is an Auto5 made in 1936), but I admit that I know very little about the Citori in...

    Full length/Mannlicher stock advantages?

    I know that a Mannlicher-style (full length) stock has some degree of negative accuracy implications. So other than cosmetics, is there any positive advantage to a full-length stock?

    Savage centerfire rifles, stagger-feed vs center-feed

    I understand the technical differences - what I do not grok is the issue that they were trying to solve. What was the problem, and when/how was it manifested. Is the change to center-feed only applicable to box magazine rifles or all their rifles?

    Cleaning hulls for reloading

    How do y'all clean your hulls? I've been wiping them off as I load them, but that approach sure does slow things down.

    Need Remington SportLoad 12ga loads

    I have quite a stock of Remington SportLoad 12ga hulls that I'd like to use to make 7/8oz practice loads. Sadly, Lyman (5th Ed.) doesn't show much in the way of load data for these specific hulls and 7/8oz shot charges. Has anyone worked up any light loads for these hulls that they'd care to...

    Is Norma rifle brass worth 2.5x as much as, say, Remington brass for my Mauser 95 in 7x57?
