    Suppressors Anyone using a .22 /.223 can on a .17HMR ??

    Re: Anyone using a .22 /.223 can on a .17HMR ?? I use my SRT Commanche and have tried my AAC Ranger on a CZ 452 and a Ruger 77 , both in 17 HMR. The sound at the rifle is very quite but there is a sonic crack as would be expected about 50 yds down range. The sonic crack is about as loud as a...

    Re: THE Basic Supressor Question from ALL NEWBIES!!!! As mentioned before, a recording does not really give a true representation. With that said, here is a vid of me shooting a 22" .243 with 105 gr. Amax handloads running at 2950 fps. The suppressor is my .308 suppressor. I am shooting...

    Gunsmithing Input on Tornado Technologies?

    Re: Input on Tornado Technologies? I have had several barrels threaded by them. They do excellent work. They work in batches so if they are running Rem. 700s in 1/2 x 28 they do all they have then tool up for the 5/8 x 24. If you have an AR barrel you will need to wait until they they start...

    Re: Very cool and moving picture ! I agree. Someone sent it to me. From the small size and guality of the one I received it may have been a cell phone pic. It may have been Photoshopped but still cool.

    trailboss alternative

    Re: trailboss alternative What velocity are you looking for ? I load a 180 gr. RN in front of 10.8 gr. Trailboss, standard primer and flash hole. Gives me a consistant 1045 - 1050 fps out of a 20" .308. 14 gr. seems a little high although I have never loaded the 208 or 220 gr. bullets due to...

    .45 primers small and large

    Re: .45 primers small and large I have used reloadable Blaser .45 ACP brass primed with small pistol primers in the past. They shot just fine but I threw them out due to issues with them getting mixed in with my LP primed Remington, Federal, and Win brass.

    Rifle Scopes Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical

    Re: Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical As Layinclose said, it says use 20x but true 20x may not be where 20x is marked on the power ring. It will be a little off. My 6x20 is off a bit also. If you do not have the power setting spot on then your mil hash marks will not be accurate. Draw a 3.6" sq...

    Gunsmithing What to do with a damaged crown?

    Re: What to do with a damaged crown? Try the brass screw and lapping compound. What have you got to lose ? At worst, you would just need to get it recrowned professionally.
