    .223 SUB sonic loadings?

    I have been kicking around the idea of getting a lightweight .223 in Remington 700 or Model Seven. I want it specifically for shooting predators without tearing up the pelts. So I have been thinking about hand-loading subsonic cartridges for up to 150 yard accuracy. It seems like a FMJ heavy...

    Hunting & Fishing Shot my first bear

    Re: Shot my first bear Looks like a nice healthy bear. Beautiful cape too! Nothing like an adrenaline rush of calling in a bear and only having seconds to react before they are right on top of you. We have some rather unusual black bears up here, the genetic pool makes them mostly blonde...

    Hunting & Fishing serious brown bear grizzley load 30-06

    Re: serious brown bear grizzley load 30-06 The '06 is a great all around cartridge, one of the best for loading <span style="font-style: italic">down</span> for blacktail and <span style="font-style: italic">up</span> for Elk. Regarding shot placement, you could probably kill a Grizz with a...

    Need some help Shooting semi-autos

    Re: Need some help Shooting semi-autos There are some adjustments you have to make when shooting semi's. Cheekweld, scope eye relief, and keeping the weapon level were the most critical to me when learning. The problem with rear charging handles is that you can't build up the comb of the...

    AR 15 charging handle

    Re: AR 15 charging handle ZI have a TAC-Latch on a AR-10 and AR-15. It is great when laying prone with a scope because I can use it almost like a side-chargin handle without changing position. However they both dig into my back when slung back for hiking or running. I haven't found the...

    Low Mass Bolt & Carrier in the AR10

    Re: Low Mass Bolt & Carrier in the AR10 I lurk over at ARFCOM, and there are a lot of shooters that have gone to a reduced mass BC, futz'ed with the gas system, cut buffer springs, changed buffer weights, and it seems <span style="font-style: italic">all</span> found their rifles were less...

    Side charing Upper for 5.45x39 AR-15

    Re: Side charing Upper for 5.45x39 AR-15 It's amazing how far off-topic members can get by offering their unsolicited opinions. I do not have the answer you seek, but I would look for the answer at AR15.com. I am <span style="font-style: italic">POSITIVE</span> a member over there knows...

    20moa cantilever base for 30mm tube?

    Re: 20moa cantilever base for 30mm tube? Why would you need a 20 MAO base for a .223 / 5.56 ? Really, you aren't going to be knocking targets at 1000 yards with a .223. A stock 30 mm tube should have plenty of elevation adjustment to get the .223 to its effective range limit. PLUS your new...

    Is this a good grouping for a gas gun?

    Re: Is this a good grouping for a gas gun? If your rifle is stock, then those are good groups. The NATO 147's may look like good groups at 100 yards but they disperse pretty quickly past 200 yards. The NATO 147 gr. bullets are <span style="font-style: italic">NOT </span>the <span...

    Pac-Nor Barrels any good?

    Re: Pac-Nor Barrels any good? I have never used a Pac-Nor for a rifle barrel, but I use Pac-Nor for many custom revolver re-barrels. Great customer service. As accurate as Badger in my experience with handguns.

    barrel threading

    Re: barrel threading I should have added that a Gunsmith will likely charge you <span style="font-weight: bold">less</span> than a machine 'Shop' since they are usually set up for that type of work. A machine 'shop' will be charging you for the set-up time as well.
