    Toyota Gas pedal recall and Crash that sparked it.

    Hi guys been a while since I have posted on this. Well here we go time for the wild ride. I worked at the dealer that was connected to the Lexus dealer that killed the Saylor family. I trained some of the mechanics that worked there. When Lexus first arrived in the U.S. market there really was...

    Tunnel Testing 22lr With Some Surprising Data

    Could it be falling in and out of a node? Maybe take the ammo and cool it in an ice chest or warm it up with a hand warmer and don't let it stay in the chamber for more than 20 seconds or so. Should be an easy test. May also give you some funny strings. Got a .22 that is SUPER sensitive to...

    Bill Ritchie passed away in Nov

    It would seem as though it does. Tried to reach his son by way of FB but no luck. I'm thinking there was a lot going on in the family.

    Bill Ritchie passed away in Nov

    Same here. Went to Redlands when he was in Kalifornia a few times getting some things worked out and a Kepplinger installed. Good guy. I to am VERY disappointed that his son has just dropped the ball. I think there are issues with some lawsuits because of Cheytac. Given the huge distance I have...

    Bill Ritchie passed away in Nov

    Just saw a few weeks ago that Bill Ritchie passed away. Was getting ready to send in for the fast locktime firing pin. Guess the big "C" got him and he ended things early. Sad that that chapter and book has come to an end. Love my Windrunner.

    Match Grade 50 BMG Ammo for Semi Auto's

    I have had GREAT luck using pulled AP. The core is super stable and 700 grain (well 690). Anyways when they are run through the sizer they are much more accurate than 650 ball in my M96.

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    I really can't believe no one has recommended some one else shoot his rifle to verify shooter/or equipment failure.
