    243 ackley brass (comparison and question)

    I'm thinking I should buy some brass. Bigedp51, your right in my case about holding 2 grains less H20. Brass I have formed to 243 holds 51.5 grains. Norma 243 holds 53.5 my AI IVI brass holds 54.5 So looking at those numbers I have hardly gained anything over a straight 243 with commercial brass...

    243 ackley brass (comparison and question)

    No I haven't, This is a fairly new build. I am trying to decide if its worth continuing to use the IVI brass or if I should stop being a cheap ass and buy some brass. If it will it make an actual difference on paper or velocity

    243 ackley brass (comparison and question)

    So I felt like checking the H20 capacity of some of my brass today. I have a 243 Ackley that I formed brass from IVI match 308 brass. (IVI is the CDN version of Lake City) I find the IVI brass to be of pretty good quality, and it was very consistent when I weighed the H20 capacity today. Of the...

    High Quality Compass?

    Bogeybrown, I probably don't even want to know what trade or section of the CF that guy was in if he couldn't use that compass. I mean it was the first one I was taught how to use so for me its easy. There are a few features that if you don't know what they are or how to use them you will get...

    diy molded vertical pistol grip

    I have done grips on 2 different savage stocks. I used a combination of fiberglass, body filler and some aluminum rod reinforcement after I cut a lot of the plastic stock away. If I were to do another one. I would use an epoxy resin and filler combo to make my own filler, like body filler but...

    Gunsmithing Could it be built, and would it work.

    I had been thinking about something similar to this a few months ago. Something similar to this everydaynodaysoff.com/2013/01/03/quietener-for-your-loudener/ or this Ferfrans CQB Modular Muzzle Brake System

    Canadian C3A1 clone , almost done

    Yes the C3 is still used as a training rifle for now. It is supposed to be replaced with the coyote by PGW I believe, but who knows when or if that will ever happen. The Unertyl on the C3 is only calibrated to 800M however, and yes the reticle can and will melt if the scope is left in direct...

    .308 win 110 gr subsonic loads?

    I plink with SS 110 gr fmj's or soft point out of a 308. I haven't really done too much load development for them but I just stick 10 grains of trail boss in a 308 case and let er rip. I don't think you'll have a problem with the vmax not opening up. I realize this isn't apples to apples, (and...

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady AMAX for hunting?

    I have the entire sequence. My buddy dragged out a "work" camera, no video but I have a 5 or 6 picture sequence of the gopher flying through the air and such. We did a crappy job cropping and moving the pictures to put on my lap top. When he goes back to work he said he will send me a proper...

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady AMAX for hunting?

    While definitely not big game. And probably kind of off topic. Here is a 208 amax on a groundhog at about 150M. From a 20" barreled 308.

    Fieldcraft Unexpectectedly need to make a hide for a precision rifle class, any recommendations?

    Use depth, put something between you and the observer, like a shrub, or a large tuff of grass. Cut a small shoot hole in it and get behind it like 10M or more. Make a ghille veil or smock thing. Pull it over your head and rifle.Use lots of natural cam as opposed to netting or burlap.
