I've been toying with .223 as a entry level longer range rifle to 500 yards with 69gr matchkings. I've had some problems with the fit of the rifle from upright shooting to prone shooting which I've made a post about. This post is to ask the question as to rifle weight. A lot of these long...

So with winter breaking I was out shooting today enjoying some of the milder weather. I was really looking forward to the outing as last year I bought a Savage 14 American Classic in .223 and I've loaded up some 69 grain matchkings with the plan that I could learn to shoot out to 500 yards as...

Do you resize before or after you put your brass through the tumbler? I'm using the corn cob media. I put my brass through the tumbler first and then deprimed the fired brass but I just broke the decapping pin. It appears to have gone a little sideways? Maybe due to a peice of media being...

Just purchased a swedish m38. Its a 1941 Husqvarna. Not to sure what all the numbers mean but the serial numbers all match. I'm more than happy with mild loads but I've read that Mauser actions are some of the strongest so I'm wondering how well these older guns, specifically the M38 hold...

I'm looking for thoughts on good manual trap throwers? I've only ever used the $30 dollar ones and I've found as soon as you try to get some speed/range the clays just break. It must be a 3/4 type thrower or have some mechanism that makes it easy to reset. Price range will vary, I will spend...

I'm looking at purchasing a rifle in 6.5x55 I have noticed it is quite rare in modern production guns and I constantly read that I should not use modern "hot" ammo in older guns. I'm am wondering what the differences are between the Husqvarna 1600 series (These are there own actions? - is it...

Title says it all. Thinking of building a semi custom .284 win off a tikka action. Not sure if the case fits in the mag. Anyone know?

Shooting a .25-06 What bullet would you recommend for deer and black bear. I have access to 110 grain accubonds and 100 grain partitions. Could get my hands on some tsx but in Canada they are ~$50 a box and the accubonds are $33, partitions are $37. Makes a big difference. I know the...

I've been loading for a while, using the $20 lee set and making great progress. I did buy a scale and a case trimmer and primer to compliment the setup, but time to upgrade to a press and dies because they don't make the $20 kit in .25-06 I'm getting the RCBS rockchucker press but for dies...

Looking for some good quality Iron Sights that can be welded/brazed/sodered onto a barrel. Looking for a hooded from sight. No fiber optics Also want an adjustable rear sight with 100-300 yard settings Looking for some recommendations - links would be appreciated. Something like this would...

Hornady has come out with a "Chargemaster" I wonder if it'll give the rcbs a run for its money. Time will tell but it's something to look forward to and get excited about!

I'm looking or first hand experience with these pads compared to both the limbsave and decelerator. I've had experience with both but the claims that Eez Kick have made seem like they need to be challenged. I only heard about Eez kick yesterday and I've been buying recoil pads for two years...

I've only ever cleaned my rifle barrels with a bore snake and Shooterschoice MC #7 Bore Cleaner and Conditioner as seen in this link http://www.shooters-choice.com/mc7.html My question is, how many of you use the foam stuff and other copper specific solvents? Why? After how many shots? How...

I'm looking at purchasing a m2 field but I'm unsure of how well the stock will hold up. Is it possible to cut or tear the gel pad type things? It will be a do all shotgun and will be carried through some thick cedar at times as well as rub many other branches. Do I need to worry about anything?

I have a few questions regarding my rifle build. I will be shooting a .308 and bullets of the 165-168 class. 1) Should I use an extended box magazine? 2) What are the advantages of using a twist specifically for 165 grain bullets vs a faster twist that will stabilize heavier bullets? For...

I'm looking at getting a rifle in 7mm - avoiding the magnums. Been deciding between the .284 and .280. When looking at the .280 I see a lot of .280 AI's. I'd be using 160 grain accubonds probably. Any advantages or disadvantages between the two?

Regardless of price. I'm looking at getting a scope in this size range. I'm kind of partial to Leupold but depending on the poll results may change. Price is a consideration for me of course, but for you voters, please choose regardless of price.

I've searched but have not been able to find any comparisons. I'm wondering about the velocities gain from going from a 20" barrel to a 26" barrel shooting 69 grain matchknigs or 75 grain a max's. Anyone know? Thanks

When did McMillan come out with stocks for the A Bolt? Anyone know how accurate their inletting is? I'm shooting a browing abolt stainless stalker in .30-06, made in about 2006. I do think I'll order one.

Ok, I'm shooting remington 120 grain corelokts in my .25-06. Remington says the velocity is 2990. My chrony is showing 2800 on average. I'm shooting a Browning Abolt with the conventional recoil boss system. This gun has a 22" barrel or so they advertise however the boss system is 2.5" long...
