Re: New .260 rem Heads up, the tensioner on the Caldwell bipod gets really weak over time. Don't torque it on too hard, it'll bend the metal and snap! -Travis

Re: APRIL 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Will hopefully compete again in the near future, when I get a rimfire. Have to sell the 03A3 first... blah. My old .22 was sold because I was getting to the point of outshooting it. Hopefully I have a MKIIFV or the switchbarrel 455 American...

Re: acceptable slam fire I have been around light triggers with my college's rifle team (air rifle triggers are practically weightless). Our Anschutz air rifles have triggers that you can set off if you look at them funny, but I don't consider it "unsafe" because of the way in which they're...

Re: .308 and 208 AMAX - Overall Length? Thanks for the help so far. I'm using Win brass and Varget. Loaded some test rounds up and determined ~40.8grs to be pretty accurate. I would assume there's another accuracy node in the 43gr region, but I only ladder tested to 42gr. Going to play around...

I've been using the 178 AMAX with good success and decided to give the 208's a try. I'm finding though how long these bullets are, and I was just wondering if anyone would care to share what kind of overall length they ended up with for their load. I determined the length to the lands in my Howa...

Re: Primer issues? Hot Loads? Just my .02, but you have to remember that lighting can play tricks with those ejector marks. I see a couple that don't look good though. What kind of measurement system are you using for powder? Tons of things can go awry, keep an open mind and eliminate as many...

Re: budget build....which stock You can also make your own cheek rest like the Karsten with thermoplastic and a heat gun. -Travis

Have already read the topics about cold bore shots and whether or not it's the firearm or the shooter, so with that said... I have noticed on the last three or four range days, I have gone to the range just to do a 10 shot dot drill with the .308, do some work with the .22, and go home...

Re: Why does my long range rifle have to weight 12lbs Also, (Disclaimer - not attempting to hurt anyone's feelings or call anyone a fattie) your physical shape can make 50lbs feel like 200. If your hunting trip is the only time you carry 50 pounds of gear for five or six miles, it's not going...

Re: 1903A3, caliber change? 6.5-06 was something I had in mind too. Thanks for the input gentlemen. I will try and put some pictures up soon, waiting for everything to dry and get a coat of stock sheen. -Travis

I've picked up a 1903A3 Springfield that's been sporterized, and I'm in the process of... re-sporterizing it. It's got an aftermarket trigger, cut barrel, no sights, and I'm finishing up a Boyd's stock in Pepper Laminate. Once I get all of the paint out of the action, I'll start coating the...
