    HERE..get one of these,it'll make you shoot better

    Re: HERE..get one of these,it'll make you shoot better Seriously...In their defense: By placing a larger-diameter sleeve over the barrel, if attached rigidly, it could stiffen the barrel and make it shoot differently. Larger diameter cylinders are stiffer than skinnier ones, right? Isn't...

    Suppressors A question about suppressor noise properties.

    Re: A question about suppressor noise properties. Higher temperature gas means higher pressure gas. Higher pressure gasses exiting the muzzle mean more noise. Simple. Nate

    Suppressors I want to legally make my own can

    Re: I want to legally make my own can I built one 8 years ago or so. I had to fill out a form for "permission to manufacture a firearm?" I forgot which form, take finger prints at the police office, tell them which rifle it was to be mounted to (I think mine is tied to a certain serial...

    Advanced Marksmanship When to clean the bore

    Re: When to clean the bore My limited experience with my .308 rifle is: Stainless hand-lapped barrel shot decent when new, great after a few shots, terrible after 300 without cleaning. I cleaned again and it instantly tightened up again. I clean now after every 150 rounds or so, just to...

    Photos Improvised shooting position

    Re: Improvised shooting position I never had luck shooting from a truck. Compare your results to shooting of the ground and see what you find. My truck moves and wiggles with the wind and with any motion I make. Perhaps I just need more practice. Nate

    155g TAP .308 Casings

    Re: 155g TAP .308 Casings I, too, have had a slightly skicky extraction of TAP cases a few times - the nickel ones. Makes me think they are larger diameter. I never measured and compared them to the other Hornady match ammo. Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship Muzzel Break Types

    Re: Muzzel Break Types From an engineering standpoint: The nozzles have different shapes for supersonic flow, opposite that of subsonic flow. A constrictor on a subsonic flow (such as a smaller hole at the end of a water hose) produces thrust and accelerates the fluid as it passes through...

    Re: .22lr Scopes "at what range generally do you feel would be safe to shoot at critters and not spook them if you miss or hit his buddy? (other than the dirt kickup or seeing his furry pal fall over dead)" I shot 3 crows in one sitting with my .22 at 45 yards. I shoot subsonics with an...

    155g TAP .308 Casings

    155 TAP with the nickel cases sheems to shoot a tad bit better in my rifle than the 155 Amax Palma match, even though velocities and bullets are supposed to be the same. I have seen other posts talking about the types and charges of powder used. Some say the powder is different between the...
