Yep, the M118 type bullet will get the job done. Even if it drops below super-sonic, it has the weight to fight light cross winds.

An obvious question but, what the heck.... The gas piston and gas cylinder has to be bone dry. No oil or bore cleaner what so ever on either part. Any kinks in the op-rod spring? How's the roller bearing on the bolt? Is it lubed? Has anything changed in the ammo or reloading components? How are...

The mini just won't do much better unless you spend major bucks to get it "tuned". After doing everything under the sun to make it a MOA ( never got it 100%) I placed it in the back of the safe and moved to another platform.

Down and dirty.... remove the really stiff spring and use a lighter spring. This will stop the ball bearing snapping into the detente. I've done it to several of my rifles. Its a very quick and dirt cheap fix.

7mm STW. Brass can be made from several calibers. As for barrel burning, Most of today's barrels will withstand far more heat and pressures than in the past.

His muzzle brake is quieter than the best suppressor, he does not pull the trigger,he just thinks that the rifle will fire and it does Out of respect for him his bullets never foul the bore, He has not missed a target since he was two, two days old, He makes his own barrels, Pope learned from him.

A great rifle and accurate.

We use it at work for very expensive lens cleaning. It's been around for many years. It is Water-Pumped Nitrogen in a can. I use the straw tube and tilt the can a little, The gas is not a liquid of course,but a few second slow burst will displace most of the room air with nitrogen. It works for...

I'm still an Old School shooter.. It is what I know, and I guess I learned it well. I still use open sights out to 1,000 yards on a good day. Longer than that I use glass. I put tape on the side of the butt stock with my sight settings for a known range. I rely on my spotter to dope the wind and...

I have had mine for over 40 years. It is the best single stage press ever made. I could not begin to count the rounds I have loaded using it. After you get yours and have used it for a few months, go over to one of your shooting buddies house and try his press. The first stroke you take you will...

Use your 748. It works well. AND, you have it in hand.

Many of the new Mall-Ninja rifle stock makers have aluminum or plastic stocks where other than the action, nothing touches the barrel. I have a .25-06 long range rifle in a wood stock where other than the receiver ring, nothing touches the barrel. This allows the barrel nodes to do their thing...

It is not just them. Ammo distributors have jacked their prices up by at least 100% or more. A major gun shop out here just got in a shipment of Privi Partizan,Wolf, and Federal ammunition. I scanned the shelves and took note of a few of the new prices: Privi 9mm Makarov FMJ ammo 50 rounds-...

20" Barrel. Bullet seated to 2.260 OAL 21.4 Min - 23.6 Max loads, Winchester SM Primer, Lee Factory Crimp My MV would not be realistic for you due to my elevation.

J&P Muzzle brakes. One of the few that really does deduce recoil by 90% or more.
