    Hunting & Fishing 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag I had a spare Howa 270WSM in the safe and an itch for a 25cal something so I had a 25/300WSM hunting rifle built. Kept the whole package fairly light and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Shoots 110 Nosler AB @ 3490fps and 270WSM brass is cheap. That said...

    CRC Hydro Graphics, Decatur, AL

    Re: CRC Hydro Graphics Same here, he had my stock for many months after promising it would be done "next week". Finally after a major rant with lots of cussing on a phone call my stuff did eventually show up. Decent results, but there are plenty of other companies that have better service...

    Hunting & Fishing anyone deer hunting in North East TN

    Re: anyone deer hunting in North East TN I hunt Campbell and Scott Counties, plenty of food and deer in the woods. I think mast failure is spotty this year. They will be eating green stuff in absense of acorns. Good luck!

    Help Loading Thompson Pro Hunter 300 Magnum

    Re: Help Loading Thompson Pro Hunter 300 Magnum You need to get a headspace guage (comparator) of some kind. Hornady, RCBS, etc. You measure a few once-fired cases and then you adjust your full-length sizing die so that a resized case mesures .0015-.002" shorter than the once-fired case...

    Help Loading Thompson Pro Hunter 300 Magnum

    Re: Help Loading Thompson Pro Hunter 300 Magnum The trick is in the case sizing. Headspace is created at the barrel/frame gap. Production tolerences vary from gun to gun, but you will want to just bump the shoulder .0015-.002" when sizing. A general "full-length sizing" will probably give...

    Gunsmithing Removing a stuck breach plug on a T/C ?

    Re: Removing a stuck breach plug on a T/C ? Soak it with Kroil/acetone. Try putting it in the freezer for a day or 2. Use a real socket and not the T/C tool. A few taps with a hammer may help loosen things up too.

    Gunsmithing stock painters

    Re: stock painters I would NOT send anything to CRC, they have had my stock since July and I still don't have it back after multiple promises on ship dates. They may do great work, but their service is crap.

    Re: Understanding Zeiss Rapid Z I've shot mine out to 600 on a 338RUM and it is right on. The windage marks are nice too. Used it in Africa on several animals out to ~400yds and had no issues.

    Hunting & Fishing all my children life sportsman

    Re: all my children life sportsman Got Lifetime Sportsman license for my daughter and 2 nieces. For $200 (before age 3) it will be worth it even if they only fish. My 5 year old already goes to the woods with me when the weather is decent. You can't put a price on that kind of time together.

    Gunsmithing 700 BDL Stock finish question?

    Re: 700 BDL Stock finish question? On a glossy stock with the factory Urethane finish, try some good car wax/polish. A very fine rubbing compound would work if you are careful.
