    Gunsmithing Can a muzzle brake effect accuracy?

    What about overtightening a brake? I've had that affect accuracy, and there are gunsmiths out there who swear by Loctite and a hand-tightened 'muzzle device' whether it's a compensator or a brake.

    OCW and Action Torque weight

    It will affect POI, not OCW. It groups open up it will be as a result of action stress.

    Southpaw Controlled round feed questions:

    I've been on the prowl for a left handed Winchester Model 70, like the ones Winchester was making a few years ago and they are fast approaching ridiculous money territory. What are my options for a short OR long action Controlled round feed left handed action? The rifle is going to be fed from...

    My 6.5x47 likes moly-coated Lapua 123's.

    Re: My 6.5x47 likes moly-coated Lapua 123's. I had better-than-previous results with this particular rifle switching to moly. I would like to stay with it. I would prefer not to engage rifling with the ogive, for a couple reasons. That said, should I be looking at the hybrid bullet or the...

    My 6.5x47 likes moly-coated Lapua 123's.

    My 6.5x47 likes moly-coated Lapua 123's. SD's of 2, sub-quarter inch groups and near-zero vertical dispersion. That's the good part. The bad: John at Powder Valley informed me today Lapua has discontinued the Silver Jacket line. I am equipped to moly coat bullets, but only 100-200 at a...

    Re: Kestrel 4500NV/Droid Shooter App Bluetooth issues If I load shooter and get to the menu where the atmospheric variables are input, THEN turn on the Droid bluetooth interface it works every time. Otherwise I have to exit Shooter, turn off bluetooth and start over. I uninstalled some...

    Kestrel 4500NV/Droid Shooter App Bluetooth issues

    Re: Kestrel 4500NV/Droid Shooter App Bluetooth issues When i say 'locks up', I mean Shooter stops responding. Perhaps I need to disable my AVG anti-virus for better results.

    Kestrel 4500NV/Droid Shooter App Bluetooth issues

    Does anyone else have a high level of difficulty getting 'Shooter' by SeanKndy for Droid to download Kestrel data VIA bluetooth? Whenever I try and sync them up 'Shooter' locks up. Steve

    Gunsmithing LH Rem 700 Ejection Oddity

    Re: LH Rem 700 Ejection Oddity I think I'll try adding .5" of pull to the stock and moving the scope back .5" and see what happens. It's probably .25" too short as it sits so maybe I can get away with it. If ejection is still a problem, I'll stick a 4.5-14 Mk4 on it hope for better luck. I...

    Gunsmithing LH Rem 700 Ejection Oddity

    Tearing into my first left-handed rifle build has been interesting to say the least. The rifle is ejecting the brass while cycling the bolt 100%. The problem i run into is when I mount the NF 5.5-22x56, the case mouth contacts the bottom of the side focus knob and almost knocks the brass back...

    Using Varget , with 69gr. SMK .....anyone?

    Re: Using Varget , with 69gr. SMK .....anyone? I personally would use 24.5 to 25 grains of Varget. Either load should drive tacks. Watch for an overly-compressed mag-length load, the bullet will have the telltale 'seating ring' just above the ogive of the bullet. Source...
