    Making the M1917 and BAR

    Craftsmanship comes at a price. There are Industrial Engineers that make their living off of maximizing manufacturing efficiency to establish and define good enough.

    50 Bmg Blow up....

    Rather than participating in the dick measuring contest going on, back to the topic at hand. These guys tried to blow up a mosin nagant and couldn’t do it. This is what people were talking about when saying fail safe…

    Making the M1917 and BAR

    These videos are great. But before all the old timers start lecturing everyone on the good old days, these things were made in a time where materials were expensive and people were cheap. Now literally the opposite is true. The craftsmanship isn’t totally gone, there are a ton of talented...

    50 Bmg Blow up....

    The Savage 10mlii comes to mind. That was a muzzle loader designed for smokeless powders. Savage pulled it because so many people were double charging and having kabooms. The couple I saw posted about all failed in the same way. The barrel split and looked like a banana peel. If your hand was in...

    50 Bmg Blow up....

    Everyone knows that had they used “military grade” materials in the gun just like Ford does in the F150, this accident wouldn’t have happened.

    Bergara B-14R Range Report and Assessment

    This was shot from my steel barrel B14 in a bravo chassis using sk long range match ammo. This is the best score I’ve ever shot on this target using any gun or ammo. The best I shot previous to my B14 was my savage BTVS and was a 243. I know the btvs isn’t a bench rest level gun but the Bergara...

    8.6 BLK, The Caliber For Advanced Years.

    Not only that, after looking at how expensive just the bullets are, even reloading this round is silly. I’m not even a little interested in paying the price of admission. While I don’t do it personally, I understand paying the 338 price tag for the extreme long range stuff. But taking those...

    8.6 BLK, The Caliber For Advanced Years.

    Do you mean things like drastically overstating the effects of the rotational energy of bullets?

    Bergara b14r 22lr carbon vs steel barrel?

    I picked up a steel version for the weight, @lennyo3034 has one in carbon. I’ve shot next to his rifle plenty of times and it depends on the day with regard to which one shoots better. I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

    Where to get ammo now post

    At this price point, kind of seems too good to be true.

    Suppressor affecting point of impact by a lot

    Does your checkmate make your 15-22 get dirty as hell after a box or 2 of ammo? My spectre ii makes my ar-22 start to malfunction after a hundred rounds or so.

    Sk 22lr spec

    I’ve gotten great results over 2 different lots as well as different boxes for the sk lr match. I have seen what you‘re talking about with gecco ammo though. Amazing results with 1 box, next box not so much.

    Sk 22lr spec

    Agreed, for me accuracy in my rimfire rifles are gauged based on IBS 50yd rimfire targets. I’ve shot my best score in my B14r with sk LR match ammo. I got a 244-3x. The best I could do with tenex or Midas + was a 242.

    Sk 22lr spec

    I’ve heard this before and frankly it’s a little silly in my experience. So far the best groups I’ve gotten from my Savage BTVS and Bergara B-14 came from ammo with ”match” on the box. Sk Long Range Match has given me better SDs and groups when compared to eley target, tenex, or Midas +. Wolf...

    New Winchester Staball 6.5 ball powder

    Thanks for the correction. The unburned powder is what I am worried about. I was surprised to see how much further down the burn chart it was compared to varget.

    New Winchester Staball 6.5 ball powder

    Has anyone tried this powder in 6.5x47? I'm wondering if it is too fast for the smaller case volume.
