    Beginner needs help

    The title is a little disingenuous, I'm not a beginner, I am however a beginner when it comes to rifle loads. I've been hand loading for pistol cartridges for hunting and other purposes for years. I am now ready to move in to the "precision" arena with rifle cartridges. I have 2 new purchases...

    Range Report Unsure if I'm in the right place

    Ok, I will hunt with this gun as well as long range target shooting. I have not played around with load data for either of these rounds, I just don't have the time. I was really hoping someone hear might have had some experience with both of them. Or at least some reloading experience with...

    how could this been avoided

    That's my mistake, I misread the original story on this issue. It does not negate the fact that the Officer had a duty and responsibility to identify what Mr Canipe had in his hands. Also, I'm 35 years old and I'm damn near deaf, Mr Canipe may very well be too. I'm not saying he didn't make a...

    how could this been avoided

    I'm sorry but LEO's make a choice to put on a uniform, period. No one forces them to do it. They are supposed to be more responsible and more accountable than the citizens they are paid to protect, notice I said protect. LEO's should be held to a higher standard not a lesser standard. When...

    Range Report Unsure if I'm in the right place

    I'm unsure if this is the right forum for this but I'm trying to figure out a ballistics question or more like comparison. I currently use a .280 remington to hunt Whitetail in West Texas. I've been researching cartridges for longer ranges for target shooting, practice etc. I'm looking at...

    Ruger M77 in .260, Compact Version

    I'm not at all familiar with Rugers or the M77 in particular so I'm hoping for some information. When my wife and I got married, part of what she brought with her was a stainless compact model M77 in .260. My wife hunted before we met but since we've been married, newborn baby, my frequent...

    My way of getting Drop Data

    Great job, but I think your mistake in video #1 shows all of us how important the attention to detail is, .3 mils is a small change at 297 yards but at 1000, it made all the difference in hitting your target vs missing. So thank you for the video and for the lesson.

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    Ok 2 Questions, would it be better if I sent the rifle back to Surgeon to get the barrel replaced, if it did need to be replaced. #2 Is it possible to do a caliber conversion, say from 6.5 Creedmoor to .260, aren't the bolts the same.

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    I'm either having a senior moment or the Internet is pissed at me, what are the dimensions on a 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. I for the life of me can't find it. I'm trying to make up my mind right now and I want to find out differences between the .260, 6.5x47 and the 6.5 Creedmoor. Also, I was...

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    CORRECTION::::I transposed some information, He has 500 rounds of brass that has been fired 1 and in some cases 2 times it is not Lapua, it's just whatever he's been using, the 5 boxes of bullets are Lapua, thats what he's been using for reloading. I just got it backwards. Your question made...

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    Actually the Scalpel does not come with a Jewell trigger, thats an upgrade according to their website. The gun listed also has the AI AX chassis which is also an upgrade. According to Surgeon's website the Scalpel base price is 4355 and the only upgrade he has is the Jewell trigger which is an...

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    I'm waiting on pics right now. The borescope is a really good idea. Here are the details I have so far and this is also where I have a big question. It's a Surgeon Scalpel, that just sounds strange, in 6.5 creedmoor. It came with the AI 1.5 chassis in black. He also ordered a McMillan A5...

    Question: Surgeon Rifles

    I have a question that I'm afraid will expose not only some ignorance but lack of experience with these issues. I've been interested in upgrading my long range rifle for quite some time. I looked long and hard at several different rifles but I kept coming back to Surgeon. Their reputation and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glocks and Triggers

    Well my cleaning methods are stringent, they've been the same for 15 years. I'm one of those people if I fire more than 1 box the whole pistol gets cleaned. As for the barrel, like I said, sometimes you can't believe what you read, I've gotten some information about barrels after shooting...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glocks and Triggers

    Had a conversation with a guy I worked with tonight, we got to talking about Glock and I happened to ask him about triggers on them. He had some ideas about my problem but I think I need some more information. I've got a Gen 2 Glock 19, I've put 11,500(approximate) rounds through it since I...
