    Cleaning Rifle After Shooting?

    When I finish shooting I normally push down a patch wetted w/ powder solvent followed by a dry patch followed by a patch wetted w/ Kroil. Is this good enough or should I fully clean the barrel after a shooting session. BTW, I typically shoot 20 to 30 rounds per session. Also, how many rounds...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    We understand each other. Most of the practice on my shooting skills will be on my 308 or even 223. The practice w/ the 300WM will be to get very comfortable w/ that rifle. I am thinking that I can get allot of good practice w/ a mild/medium load (212 gr. @ 2700 or so) and get enough...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    So, the purpose of my rifle is a combination hunting/long range rifle. I do not think that I will use it for competition because even my 308 heats up more than I like when shooting F-class. I want to shoot it enough where I am VERY comfortable w/ THAT specific rifle. I will have my...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    Is there a correlation between how fast a powder and how hot it is? How would Retumbo compare to H-1000?

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    I already have a 308. Maybe I should ask the question a slightly different way. How far should I reduce loads to optimize barrel life in a 300WM & what is the potential barrel life with these reduced loads?

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    The 300WM suffers from short barrel life. How much could the life be improved by going to significantly reduced loads? For instance, a 208gr. @ 2600fps or a 178gr. @ 2800fps would put it closer to a 308 load than a 300WM. I understand that it would not be an efficient load - looking at...

    Travelling thru Illinois w/ guns

    I thought about that but two concerns w/ that. First of all, I am constrained by commercial driving hours of duty. Including fuel stops, weigh station stops, etc. I can drive for 10.5 hours in one day. From where I am leaving, if I go up I-74 Davenport is 704 miles. If I do not make it, I...

    Travelling thru Illinois w/ guns

    Thanks for the link. I was planning on pulling the bolts on the rifles & firing pin on the pistol through IL. That way even though the guns are in the cab (they will be in a locked case), even if the 'law' wants to say they are accessible, they will be inoperable. The bolts/firing pin &...

    Travelling thru Illinois w/ guns

    I'm plenty fed up with the 2A insanity in this country. Don't get me going on the crazy DOT laws. I run my on consulting company and make about two intrastrate trips a year. The equipment I haul is industrial and looks it. Because of this, I get treated with the same regulatory, log book...

    Travelling thru Illinois w/ guns

    You are right about that! As they say, once you lose the 2nd Ammendment, the others are not far behind. Think about 1A - we lost it a couple of decades ago. Now we are beginning to lose 4A. Time to stand up & get them all back!

I will have two rifles (R700 & AR15) and 1000 rounds of ammunition as well as a 9mm. The guns will be inside the truck (in proper cases and locked) and the ammunition...

    GoTo Load for 5.56 75 Gr. Bullets

    I have not had the chance to work up loads for my CLE AR15 (22" Bartlein 4-groove barrel w/ CLE chamber) & now am in crisis mode. I will be out west (CO/WY) in two weeks & will have a couple of down days on which I want to do some shooting (P'Dogs & general long range plinking). I want to go...

    Headspace??? Fired Cases shorter than than unfired cartridges.

    I am beginning to reload for a Compass Lake AR that I got. This rifle has a Bartlein barrel & a CLE chamber. I was checking the headspace dimensions of cases fired from that rifle and am confused with what I am seeing. Using a Hornady headspace comparator w/ the A330 bushing, the fired cases...
