    Thoughts on switch barrel systems....tell me I'm wrong...

    Has anyone done any serious range testing of the Thompson Center Dimension switch- barrel rifle systems? I have been looking at them ( no way I will ever have the money for a DTA or AI). The big problem I see is that with the exception (maybe) of the 300 Win Mag all of the barrels they offer...

    6.5x55 Swede

    What rifle/action are you loading it for? Krags should be low pressure loads, Swedish Mausers can go to medium pressures, and modern actions can go fairly high. Lapua has some good loads on there website. Look for loads labeled 6.5x55 SKAN. Most loads you find on US manufacturers books and...

    Changing the Extraction Angle

    Without seeing a picture of the boltface it is impossible to tell for sure but it sounds like the bolt face is timed wrong with regard to the ejector and extractor. The other possible issue could be that the bottom edge of the ejection port is to high bouncing the empty cartridge upwards...

    Probably a semi stupid question

    Go to youtube and search for Sniper 101 Part 64 Interpolation. Rex answers exactly the question you are asking.

    Just Hear Me Out, Ideas/Opinions Welcome.

    If you can (I don't know if they are California legal) get a Mossberg MVP. After the Wife gets used to shooting it, rebarrel it to 6.5 Grendel. For the cost of a bolt and barrel you get a 6.5 that takes standard AR magazines. Or since you said short to medium range, just rebarrel it to 6.5 AR...

    6.5 X 55 (Swede) question about chamber cuttinig

    I had my Savage 110 rebarrelled from 30-06 to 6.5x55. It is a long action. It did not require a bolt face change. Most push feed bolts of 30-06 bolt face(.473 rim dia) will work fine for the 6.5x55(.480 rim dia). The controlled round feed bolts such as the 1903 Springfield usually need to be...

    F T/R Competition %%Need help on correct way to use a bipod%%

    First check on youtube for Lowlight's videos on bipod usage. Second, remember the rule for rifle rests is soft on hard. The best feet for bipods are the soft rubber on the Atlas bipods. The skis are okay for cart rifles used for F-open on flat level square ranges but they don't work as well...

    3-Gun Match w/Krag & USGI 1911

    Depends on whether you get a Norwegian Krag in 6.5x55 or a US Krag in 30-40. 6.5 Krag use 4350, 4831, 4895, or Varget with 139 or 140gr bullet. 30-40 Krag use all the same as you would for 30-06 or 308. Just start low and work up. Remember the weak point of the Krag is it's single lug bolt...

    Fieldcraft Evading a Sniper

    When I was in the line of fire, the pilot was the one doing the evading if necessary. I just laid down the suppressive fire as he directed. Damn but 200 rounds goes through an M-60 in a freaking hurry.

    FTF Garand - Help

    First, the op rod is supposed be bent. Go to the CMP website and search on the M1 forum. Your question has been asked and answered many times. Second, the seventh round FTF is also a known problem. It has also been discussed many times on the M1 forum. If you are going to own and shoot a M1...

    223/556 with IMR4198 or H4895 options

    H4895 is a very versatile and temperature stable powder. For load data go to the Hodgdon's website. There may be powders that work better in specific applications but for a do-it-all, any environment, any caliber powder, H4895 is probably your best choice. The next best alternative would...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    Sounds like time for a metal detector. It could have been under sand from the very beginning or under a bush up against the stem. Had some tools bury themselves coming off the back of a truck and that is a lot less velocity than the innards of a suppressor turned grenade launcher.

    will bipod cause gun to shoot low?

    First figure out what position and equipment you are going to use to shoot that rifle most often, then zero the rifle for that position. Second figure out what kind of shooting you are going to be doing most often (hunting, tactical comp, bench rest comp, across the course, long range NRA...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10x40 tactical...good for the money?

    That sounds like a real good deal to me. However, you might want to check that tube diameter. The one I have and all those I have seen advertised are 1 inch tubes. I am planning on running mine on a 6.5x55 out to 1200 yards.
