Re: TC Encore muzzleloader issue I had a similar issue with my Omega and Talley mounts. I went with a +20 MOA mount from Farrell and the problem is solved.

Re: Electric smokers? About 7 years ago I too was looking at getting a smoker. I looked at reviews of most of the major types and brands. I was leaning towards the Bradley but then realized it uses the pucks. I would like a bit of versatility in what fuel I want to create the smoke. Also...

Re: What reloading manuals do you have? Last year I subscribed to Load Data and down loaded a bunch of data from multiple sources for the cartridges I load or am interested in. It works pretty well. I have hardcopy commercial books from Hodgdon, Hornady, Nosler, Speer, Vihtavuori. They...

Re: blast cabinets for b/a that won't break the bank I was in the same boat. I thought about getting a cabinet, but then reality set in. I am only doing a few a year, I will blast outside and replace the media when its gone. This way I don't have to loose a big chunk of real estate in the...

Re: Mauser, hobby "build"- worth it? I say go for it. There aer many on here that think you can't get an accurate rifle unless the price tag is > $1000. I wanted to do a cheap build this past winter so I looked through my toy box and saw a Interarms Mark X laying around. I added a cheap...

Re: Priming 338 Lapua with Lee handpriming-tool? I opened the top of the Lee Auto Prime with a Dremel sanding drum and used the #8 shell holder. It worked. I have since switched to the RCBS as I like it a lot better.

Re: Fat Wrench tips--other options? Brownell's Magna-Tips can be purchased individually. Figure out what sizes you want and order away. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=501/Product/MAGNA-TIP-reg-BITS You can shop around and get better prices for the Wheeler kit...

Re: please identify this bullet.,Hornday SST150 grain? Did you buy some blem bullets? I have seen wierd things like that on blems.

Re: Rechambering Dilemma Fred does decent work. I have had a couple barrels done by him and had one issue but he fixed it quickly. Another good option is Jim Briggs at Northland Shooting Supply. I have purchased 2 barrels from Jim and I am happy with both. He also has other parts. I...

Re: How to fix scope mount? gundoktr, Email sent. I looked closer at the action and I stretched a piece of monofilament from the rear mount hole to the muzzle and it looks like the holes are aligned properly. I guess the profile of the rear bridge is the culprit.

I have a Interarms Mk X action that was just rebarreled to .375 Ruger. I was using a 2 piece base and Burris Signature rings that I thought would fix the minor misalignment of the front and rear mounts. I got a 1 piece 20 MOA rail for this thing and I find they are way off. I have 1" piece...

Re: what increments? I am also a OCW fan. I don't waste time and ammo with 5 shot groups off the bat. I have not had any problems with 3-shot groups working up a very accurate load. Find the node, go to the center and work on depth. I start with 5% below max and work up. For increments...

Re: Gunsmithing A gunsmith is a person who repairs, modifies, designs, or builds firearms. IMO, there is a big difference between a person that threads, chambers, and screws a pipe on a rifle action and a gunsmith. Many gunsmiths do not have lathes and mills but still make a living...

Re: 125 grain .308 loads Looking back through my notebook, I worked up this load about 14 years ago for my 700 PSS. 51.5 gr of Win 748 125 TNT Lake City case Fed GM210M primer I fragged some ground squirrels with it to 350 yards.

Re: Trunk Monkey .308 Build Dude, the rifling is supposed to be inside the barrel.
