I came across this (currently ongoing) podcast series by Ryan Anderson over on Target Talk. If you want to know Ryan's credentials, listen to the first podcast :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgT7XXClERWQrhg630OLsfQ The ones that have been most helpful to me is the episode on Shot...

When we talk about "upgrades" to military systems over time we generally see weight added and not taken away. From Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Chinook helicopters this seems to be the general trend in Army equipment. With small arms it seems to be similar, at least post WWII (prior to WWII...

Interesting thought experiment, how do I duplicate M118 Special Ball with a powder on hand (I have bullets, and arsenal primed brass)? I know the load data for M118SB is 44 grains of IMR 4895 or WC846 (showing the data for BLC-2, measured in CUP). I know the stated pressure of 50,000 psi...

Background: I'm putting together a K98 sniper for NRA vintage sniper rifle matches and am trying to duplicate a service round (196gr FMJBT at 2500 fps) using a 200 gr Matchking bullet. Reviewing Hodgdon's data for 200gr bullets I see four powders with similar burn rates having weird...

I've searched the forums, and the general consensus is "consistently use the same aiming technique" and there is no real preference between "center hold" and "6 O'Clock" aiming. I've used center hold since forever, and when I read that is what Carlos Hathcock used I was convinced that it was...

I bought a used DCM legal Krieger barrel second hand, and the previous owner did not include a gas block. I tried Sporter Express in Elizabethtown,KY, but the armorer their said that he couldn't do anything, and so now I'm thinking about the steps needed to fit a front sight block to a drilled...

The backstory. I was using Tula Large Rifle Magnum primers in 6.5x55 Swede (win brass) and 30-06 (federal brass) and seating primers was...difficult. I assumed that this was due to the Russian primers. Today I bought the new Lee XR hand prime tool (love the square primer feed tray, totally...

So today I was reloading some 5.56 brass and was thinking about the recent thread where the OP was disappointed in the WFT power trimmer. I thought I might check out how the Possum Hollow trimmer I was using fared in the precision department. Full length resize, remove crimp, trim with possum...

I used AA8700 data to do a load workup with a 140 gr Nosler Custom Comp. 140gr HPBT bullet. Virgin Winchester brass, Tula LRM primer. Rifle is a 1941 Husqvarna M38 Swede Mauser. I started at 47 grains and worked up to 50 grains which was the published maximum for AA8700. What is...

So I'm in the process of getting together a "Vintage Sniper Rifle" for NRA sanctioned Vintage Sniper Rifle Matches. The rifle will be an M41 reproduction, just a stock M96 Swede with 29" barrel, turned down bolt, short slide side rail, and "authorized substitution" Weaver K4 scope. Now I...
