    F T/R Competition whats your bet powder in your 6br

    My bet is it will work better with powder than without. Varget is the go-to powder for the 6BR. All kinds of info over on 6mmbr.com if you want to get educated on the chambering.

    Brass growth slower than expected

    "I've been trying to get the brass to the point that it won't chamber in my rifle so I can bump the shoulders back and set my full length die." Not sure where you came up with the assertion that this somehow desirable. If brass fired in a rifle won't rechamber in that rifle, you have a...

    Big Kahuna has a Small Anthem X29 in stock, demo model. I can look it over for ya, but the smalls don't get much use. They also have some women's specific Anthem X 29s in stock as well. Here is a link to the demo small - http://bigkahunabicycles.com/product/12giant-demo-anthem-x-29er-0-2038.htm

    F T/R Competition handicapped

    Bob Depp, Johnny Depp's uncle, has some severe disabilities and still shoots very very well. I think stroke related - very little use of his entire body - has no feeling in his hand - uses a mirror to find the trigger - and still shoots some tremendous scores.

    any mountain bikers out there

    Giants are a leader on price/performance/capability/design. On both bikes you mention, make sure they are both 29ers, and look at the women's specific depending on your wife's proportions. Not sure where you are in UT, but Chili Pepper Bike Shop in Moab is big on Giants and generally has demos...

    Is the M1A a Good Rifle?

    SAI has spotty quality. Seen many an out of spec/self destructing rifle made by them show up at the local gunsmith's shop. You have to ask yourself - if 4 of the key parts not counting the receiver when purchased on the open market as authentic USGI parts cost more than an entire rifle from...

    Anschutz 64 MP R optics?

    Leupies like that are some of the lightest scopes on the market compared to the "real" tactical scopes.

    F T/R Competition F/TR bipod makers

    For some it is the journey not the destination (or score/X count) Hugh. Now shuffle off to the Home Depot, or better yet the scrap yard, for some angle iron, nuts, washers, and stove bolts.

    Ordering parts from McMillan

    I asked Joe specifically about putting the KMW in one of my stocks. Here was his reply (verbatim cut and paste from email): "f the stock has the sniperfill, both bottom and top are milled. The bottom part is marinetexed in and the top is both screwed and marinetexed in. That is how Terry...

    Ordering parts from McMillan

    McMillan stocks are made specifically for the hardware that are intended to be used on the final end product. In other words, they use a different mold for the cheekpiece-destined stocks AND do the fill differently than they do for the non-adjustable. The fill is specific for ANYTHING that...

    GAP-10 & FGMM Ammo

    Troubleshooting 001 - frog the rifle and ammo with another rifle/ammo combo. See if the problem follows the rifle or the ammo. Just make sure it is not Hornady SuperFormance ammo ;) EDIT - now the truth comes out.

    First Radio Equipment - Recommendations / Thought?

    I would stay away from the 857 and 897. The 450 is a way better radio, and you can make your own portable kit with it that is the same size and weight as the 897. The 8x7 is dated. The only one to get in an 8x7 is the 817 because of its size. Otherwise, skip the 8x7 series.

    Gunsmithing Reaming 556 NATO chamber to 223 AI

    You can't set an AR barrel back. One thread would not do it ether if it were a bolt gun because the straight section is longer than one thread. Yes you can do an AI reamer into a NATO chamber. It will just have a less than optimum throat in it for accuracy work. The measurement to datum line...
