    Gunsmithing First custom barrel - what chemicals to clean it?

    Barrel cleaning is fought about more than load development techniques. I tend to 'wave-top', and just hit key points in my cleaning. As long as I stick with those, then I can 1) get my barrel clean, and 2) do no harm, along with 3) not suffer an accuracy degradation due to buildup. - I stay...

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    I run a 26", 1:7 Krieger. 23.5 - 25.0gr Reloader 15 and the 69gr SMKs...or drop a grain on the powder charges and use the 77gr. I've had two barrels that shoot these well across a wide range of magazine-length seating depths. For Varget, try 24.0 - 25.0 with the 69, and drop a grain again...

    Seekins hit precision 20 moa??

    According to Seekins' site, it is only going to be a 0 MOA mount. https://seekinsprecision.com/hit-precision-mount.html

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Well, I have the ATACR 7-35 and the G3 Razor already. I like both, but am not married to either. Guess I'll just stick with something along those lines again. Maybe an Arken ;) .

    Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

    "knockdown powah" of a .45 ACP.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Stupid non-AI thread question but... It needs input from the 'pinky out' group of the 'Hide. Would you go for a NIB Zeiss LRP S5 for $2,600??? It is the annual holiday for optics sales. G3 Razor again through EV for $2,400, or ATACR for $2,700ish... Or the Zeiss from EO. I have zero...

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    It is a mixed lot here. I'll catch them at first/last hour frequently. Have shot them in the middle of the day before. Usually though, they only come out of the woods after dark.

    First Remington 700 build..

    Well, if you already have the action then...might as well true it and the bolt up, get the optics base screw holes opened to 8-40 (and aligned properly...Remington sucks there), add a Gre-Tan firing pin assembly, get a new (or reground) recoil lug. Those are the basic things you'll want to...

    First Remington 700 build..

    Having both a trued 700 and a few "custom" actions: You will never be ahead if you buy a 700 to get blueprinted. The only time truing a 700 makes sense is if you already have it. My worked-over 700 locks up like a vault and is a thing to behold...but it is no better than my Origin, and lacks...

    Load development struggles

    I shoot a 7-300 PRC. It is definitely harder to concentrate on shooting well than any one of my 6 or 6.5mms. 3,900+ foot pounds of energy does that to me, even more so when I developed a load for my buddy's 300NM at around 4,200 ft/lbs. I had to keep the shot strings to less than 10 before I...

    Load development struggles

    OP, I hate to say it, but it looks like you got bit by the sample size bug. The good thing is that you repeated the test, instead of going off of one group and calling it good (BTDT and learned my lesson many years ago). I've got about a dozen barrels I load for as a hobby (or insanity). I...

    Muzzle velocity difference between manufacturers

    Barrels are individuals, so your results WILL vary some even within a specific manufacturer. I agree with the above that Tikka/Sako barrels are generally a tad slower, and that their throats are long. I'm out way over 2.9XX" in OAL in my TRG in .260 Rem. I'd certainly be buying based upon...

    ...much too coarse...like a wire brush. Sorry Chet, I'm afraid you're the only one suitable to be the dartboard in lockup.

    Dude, I've gone 5 days before between shits (in the field), and then crapped out bricks. I'll never have to worry about being tight...which is why I'm not concerned about prison rape. Nobody is fighting to throw their hotdog down this hallway...
