    Removing surface rust

    Since bluing is a rust process, using Evaporust will remove bluing. If you take a brass cartridge case and flatten the mouth, you can use it as a scraper. Put some WD-40 on the rusty areas, and scrape with the brass. It will scrape off the rust, but won't hurt the bluing.

    Rotary Tumbler w/ Stainless Media?

    You might be able to find a tumbler cheaper from a Rock Shop (Rockhound supplies) than from the people that sell the media. I've been tumbling brass for 30 years with the same tumbler I got from the local Jewelry supply house. Before the SS media I used Lemon juice, 409 and water. If you...

    better caliber for long range?

    Brian Litz addresses long range and calibers in his books on Applied Ballistics. Of course the big boy is the 338 Lapua, but he details how with the proper bullets (Berger 230 gr, Hybrids), that you can maintain supersonic speeds out in the 1500 yard range with a 300 Winchester Magnum, assuming...

    better caliber for long range?

    The first question you need to answer, is what range you want to shoot accurately to? The maximum range you want to shoot accurately to will help you to narrow down your choices of caliber. If you plan to hunt with the rifle at long range then you need to be able to source hunting bullets for...

    Reloading beginner

    Personally, if I had a surgeon rifle I would be doing everything I could to feed it the best ammo I could, just to appreciate the accuracy that it is capable of. As mentioned above, a good idea to review the stickys in the reloading section about brass prep, and al the other things you can do...

    Reloading beginner

    I'm not sure if you are reloading for the semiauto pictured at the bottom of your posts, or a bolt gun. Typically semiautos require more case resizing than bolt guns. Many people use small base dies on semiautos. You will also get less reloadings from your brass if it is fired in a semiauto...

    Creepy Guy at Work...

    Having been in a position to hire Engineering students as interns, I would always call the Department Chairman for the Mechanical Engineering department and ask him to send his best students my way, and we hired a number of them. The University established a position for a person at the...

    Shit that pisses me off #19727 (read this in Sam Kinison's voice)

    Hell, I'll take you one step further. I hate these automated search engine pointers that will say that you can find what you are looking for at XYZ.com or where ever the fuck. Go to Google and make up anything and key it in, like gold plated dog dildos, and there will be half a dozen websites...

    Not happy with the additional intrusive advertising

    I know that advertising pays for the site, and there is an ass load of advertising on the site. I actually like the ads on the top and sides, as I get to see new things and find new vendors. So a couple of days ago, we were notified that we had 100,000 registered members. Our reward was to...

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    I haven't looked at every vendor, but I think it's cheaper directly from Applied Ballistics LLC. They are supposed to have the I-phone version of the software approved by Apple soon. I hope the Kestrel will be able to Bluetooth to the I-phone then also.

    Reloading for better accuracy with a suppressor

    Leid, Thanks for the photos and info. When I watched Gemtech check the fit of my suppressor, the rod they used was well centered in the opening of the suppressor. The can does not fit tightly on the muzzle brake. It has some play, but we moved the can around, and there was still clearance...

    Reloading for better accuracy with a suppressor

    The Gemtech quick attach mount uses a muzzle brake that has two large lugs that protrude from it. One lug is larger than the other, which indexes the suppressor to the same rotational location each time. The suppressor attaches just like the bolt in a rifle locks into position. You push the...

    Face palm of the damn decade...

    I question so many things from this post. First, there is no such thing in any educational system as a Technical Major. Majors are, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, etc. If he was in a Major that actually was valid, he would have said what it was. Second, why would anyone have a douche...

    Reloading for better accuracy with a suppressor

    So my paperwork finally came through on Monday for a Gemtech 308 Quicksand suppressor. This model attaches by inserting the muzzle brake and giving the suppressor a 1/4 turn to lock it behind two large lugs on the muzzle brake. I took it out to shoot on Tuesday and had mixed results. Put it...

    Range Report suppressed to unsuppressed groups

    My theory for why it takes 10 rounds for a rifle to settle down and shoot accurately after removing the suppressor, is that when the suppressor is on, it causes some gases and debris back into the barrel. With a suppressor on my M1A, the brass comes out black, covered with carbon/soot etc...
