    Rifle Scopes How do YOU level your optic?

    I put a small bubble level under the scope on the pic rail, against one of the rings to make sure the rifle is level, then use a plum bob (small string with roll of electrical tape tied on end to be exact) to line the reticle up vertically on the other side of the garage. Putting a bubble...

    Michigan 1st annual Precision Rifle Steel Challenge UPDATE FULL ROSTER

    Rich called me earlier today and described what is planned for the match. This sounds fantastic, and to be able to go to a match and not drive halfway across the country is the clincher. I am really looking forward to this, as it sounds like some great things are in store for us! Practice up...

    Is Long Range Shooting Any Fun?

    I took up golf right out of college. I got hooked because I was spending months away from home for training for my new job, and it was a fun way to pass time on the weekends, far away from home. I spent a lot of money getting into it. Turns out, buying bullets is cheaper than golf balls...

    556 Blew up in AR that was chambered for 556/223

    And a quick trick that John Markwell showed me last year at the ASC match last year (happened to me on the last stage of the first day). This happened in my bolt gun, put a 45 cal or 410 brush on your cleaning rod, insert from chamber end until you feel the brush enter the neck of the case, give...

    556 Blew up in AR that was chambered for 556/223

    This is a case head separation. Usually you see this on brass that has been resized to many times, or hot loads, and especially both. It has happened to me several times, and have seen it happen to others several times. But if this is factory ammo, it could be an individual hot load, but i...

    Gunsmithing Smiths/Rifle Builders: Let's Talk about Cold Bore Deviation

    Frank, Upon taking your advice, I took the rifle out of the chassis last night, and simply torqued it down to about "umph" ft/lbs. I snuck out after work to chrono a few rounds, for the load I settled on, dialed in the .6 mil and fired, took the .6 off, fired again and knew I was in business...

    New Guy from Honolulu, HI

    I was fortunate enough to spend a week in Hawaii for work last July. Work put me up on the Coconut Plantation in Ko'Olina, I am certain I spelled that wrong. Greatest week of my life. Brought the wife with me, tons of snorkeling, swam with sea turtles on the North Shore, got to check out the...

    Gunsmithing Smiths/Rifle Builders: Let's Talk about Cold Bore Deviation

    Assuming the threads were undercut on the barrel, can that be touched up, or do you cut, re-thread, and re-chamber? I am a know nothing novice at machining, but have been learning about it. This, obviously, will not be something that I am doing on my own. Are undercut threads something that...

    Sizing die won't size??

    I had issues with Hornaday dies on a 6.5x284, and 6.5x47. I had several rounds get stuck in the dies, they both were out of spec, and that was that. Tell him to get RCBS at the least, Redding preferably. I have ran, not walked away from Hornaday products.
