    243 build questions

    Re: 243 build questions Ya know, for bullet weights up to about 95gr. Varget with 210m primers does a pretty spiffy job. Given the burn rate, even a 20" barrel would probably do pretty well. Perhaps someone with Quickload will pipe in with some numbers for you. A good friend of mine swears by...

    Rifle Scopes IOR scopes?

    Re: IOR scopes? Damnit Scott, that kind of tease is just plain frustrating! Lately I have been thinking hard about the 4-14x50 scopes as that range of mag would be really nice if it were FFP with the MP8 Dot. Then again, I am open minded about what is right around the corner. Gary

    sierra bullets

    Re: sierra bullets you mentioned powders, -- Varget \ -- RL15 --- These are all very time proven. One of these will work. -- H4895 / -- AR Comp \ -------------- A couple of new powders by Alliant. 2000 MR is especially interesting. -- 2000 MR / Have a good one, Gary

    newb reloading question

    Re: newb reloading question Different bullets will cause a different "Vibe" in the barrel. One of the tricks to reloading ammo that *Mostly* will impact in similar areas even when the Load is different, is to use the OCW method. It really is amazing how different loads can shoot so utterly...

    Looking for opinions.

    Re: Looking for opinions. Brass = Winchester, unless you REALLY got money to spare then Lapua. Primers = Winchester LR as first choice, or Wolf LR. Powder = Alliant Power Pro 2000MR Bullet = Sierra 175gr Matchking Buy yourself some wind flags, and learn to read/use them. Also, you need to...

    Re: First rifle for kids.... I bought my daughter a Henry Mini Youth bolt last month. She enjoys it. She is 6 years old. If I had it to do over again, I would buy the CZ Youth. Gary

    155 Scenars for Hunting?

    Re: 155 Scenars for Hunting? From what I hear the Scenar is pretty hard and tends to rifle right through game without opening up much if any at all. Perhaps some one who has actually used them on game will chime in. I admit it would be kinda cool if they worked ok on game.

    First Civilian Rifle, First Bolt Action, Advice?

    Re: First Civilian Rifle, First Bolt Action, Advice? Sir, I know you said Savage / Stevens, have you considered Howa? They make a nice rifle. You can get them in a barreled action, or full rifle, stainless or blued. As of this year they also have a 2 stage trigger that is reported to be...

    Proof Research is online!

    Re: Proof Research is online! Ranger1183 I knew I had read a fairly in depth article a good while back but was having trouble finding it. It deals with the two types of carbon fibre and how the engineering challenges were met. Very cool read. Given that you have not posted it, holler if it...

    Gunsmithing Bare steel?

    Re: Bare steel? 92% Rubbing Alcohol is what is preferred. Yes it does help. There is more to CB shots than just oil or no oil in the bore however. Have a good one, Gary

    IMR vs Hodgdon Powders

    Re: IMR vs Hodgdon Powders If you have a bunch of IMR4350, I would say run with it. Just keep in mind you might need to tweak your loads a little bit more than if you ran H4350. Honestly, I do not think it will be a deal breaker. Good Shooting, Gary

    looking to update

    Re: looking to update perhaps you could get into reloading? The frustrating thing about the 91 is that it is not really a high pressure action, which limits what you can realistically do via re-barrel ect. Howa, Savage, and Remington all make relatively inexpensive rifles in great...

    Should I switch guns?

    Re: Should I switch guns? The good thing about a Remmy, every one on earth has one, or has had one at some point. I would keep your current stick as the others have said. If the barrel length bothers you, get it cut. The thing is this: 1) You are now invested in the Path to Remington. If...
