    Savage 93 17Hmr

    Re: Savage 93 17Hmr Great little shooter ain't it? I bought mine and before I even fired a round I stripped it down and bedded both bottom metals and the action. Free floated the barrel. Bought a 20MOA EGW base for it. I couldn't see spending $20+ for mags either so I sniped some off of...

    Not your average .308/SMK/VARGET thread

Well I've done alot of reading on here and there's plenty of people running .308 / 168gr Sierra's / VARGET and most people are quoting loads around...

    Scope suggestions for a CZ Scout

    Re: Scope suggestions for a CZ Scout I would stay with a 3-9 power so you're parallax free. I built a 10/22 for my wife and I knew she wouldn't want to adjust for yardage. That will keep things simple. I've used a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 and it's been great. Also the Sightron mentioned...

    Where Has All The .22LR Ammo Gone?

    Re: Where Has All The .22LR Ammo Gone? Yeah the Walmarts around here get some in little by little but it's gone within an hour. I found out that our local Walmart gets a big shipment every Sat morning so I started showing up early on Saturday morning. One Saturday I walked away with twenty...

    Accurate 2200 Data Powder

    Re: Accurate 2200 Data Powder I've never used it in a gas gun before - only a bolt rifle. I was loading 43gr in LC brass pushing a 147gr FMJ and it was consistent with no signs of pressure. Brandon

    Bullet Seating Trouble

    Re: Bullet Seating Trouble I had a seater stem in a set of Hornady dies that would leave a ring around the bullet so I mixed up some MarineTex and created a custom seater stem matched to the bullet I was using. No more marks left on the bullet after that. Brandon
