    Rifle Scopes Checking scope tracking

    Because doing so introduces several new variables such as rifle accuracy and consistency, ammo accuracy and consistency, and marksmanship. A live fire test is certainly better than nothing (way better), but its simply not as good as a collimation as done in this example.

    Suppressors Elite Iron .375 First Impressions

    How's the EI suppressor cover? Well made? Can it be easily slid back onto the barrel to allow the can to cool, then easily slid back on? Does it stay where it's supposed to?

    Making a 10mm out of a 40 S&W

    Many 10mm hotrodders will tell you 40 cases loaded to 10mm length, will handle more pressure and abuse than 10mm cases. Kinda like 6x47 performing right there with 243, because of the small primer and subsequent thicker case. Obviously this ONLY applies with fully supported chambers and...

    Kawasaki H2 - 998cc, supercharged, 300HP

    Yep, looks to be air inlets where headlamps would go if it were a road legal bike. Guessing it'd take a helluva rider to keep the rear wheel hooked.

    Installing Badger Knob on SPR Bolt - Please Advise

    I had mine done by Karl Feldkamp of Kampfeld Customs. Not only is he a helluva guy, but he does an amazing job of bolt knobs, fluting bolts and fluting barrels - and he does it fast Fast FAST!

    Can I get match grade MOA's reloading mil-spec brass?

    Sorry, have to defer to someone with more expertise in what are legitimate hi/lo limits on case weight. That said, if I weigh 10-15 cases and see their basically running ~190gr, +/- say about 10gr, and then find one that's 215gr, I'm going to cull it. Hopefully someone can chime in with a...

    rear bag .. buyers guide/rear bags 101??

    I think this is one of those things where you just have to buy/try a bunch of different stuff to hone in on what suits you. I've been through a bunch of solutions and what I currently use is: A small and large Midway cylinder bag that's been restuffed with Fairfield polystyrene beads, and a...

    Gunsmithing TRG-22 Re-barrel Question

    Huh. Posted an answer to this hours ago but I guess it didn't take... It'll clear just fine. The 1.160" OEM barrel clears the stock by a minimum of ~.090" per side. Hope that helps.

    ETA of the 7mm 195gr VLD?

    At SHOT 2014, Berger stated their focus was getting new machines tooled up and running to produce the bullets they've already designed, and the shooters are gobbling up. Bryan said design projects, including the 195gr 7mm, were on the back burner. Reading between the lines a little, I don't...

    Can I get match grade MOA's reloading mil-spec brass?

    With some sorting, culling and good prep work, most any head stamp will shoot great. If you want to choose just one head stamp, I'd go with the one you've got the most of. I bought a mess of 1X LC12 a year ago. It'd been cleaned and swaged. I did nothing other than size and trim, and its...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - TT525P

    What was/is the problem with the Premier toolless zero system that required an engineering change? I can see the new TT turret has a much larger dog ring (to transmit torque from turret cap to turret leadscrew) on it than premiers did, which is simply best engineering practice...but I wasn't...

    Sako TRG-22 Re-barrel Question

    1.250" will easily clear. The OEM barrel has ~.090" clearance per side to the closest part of the stock side.

    175 SMK in 7mm08

    Assuming RP or Winchester brass case capacity, and ~2.900"+ COAL, somewhere between ~44gr and ~46gr H4350 oughtta fetch ~2700fps from a ~25" barrel from a straight 7mm08. You should be able to run 2700ish safely, with ZERO ejector marks. 175smk is my favorite 7mm bullet because it has great BC...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - TT525P

    Except there are differing needs and expectations at these vastly different price points. You mention "high end" vs. VX-III, and then VX-III vs. Nikon 3-9. I argue what's possible with a SB PMII or Premier (or other "high end" scope) is different than what is possible with a VX-III - and...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - TT525P

    Perhaps because they're both 5-25x56 scopes, basically the same form factor, with basically the same feature set? I understand there are nuanced differences in the details such as method of "floating the caps" and "ocular adjustment/locking" and where on the tube the illumination knob is, but...

    Agree 100% $4250 is "door-buster" pricing!

    Question for the experts, compensating a load for colder fall temps

    +1 on leaving load alone. Bring your chrono each time you hit the range and clock 5 rounds. Log the temperature and velocity. Develop a characteristic curve of velocity vs. Temp. Calculate the fps per degree value (you'll have to do a best fit curve because this won't be exactly linear) Input...

    Too hot for the 6.5cm?

    An experienced loader can do this - see the ejector marks, understand the variables, and willingly trade off brass life for performance. Still the fact remains that ejector marks are caused by brass being stressed beyond its yield point, and literally flowing into the ejector hole. I've been...

    Too hot for the 6.5cm?

    Excellent point on brass/chamber lubrication causing ejector marks! You are thinking! Absolutely oily or wet brass/chamber shows ejector marks sooner. My gold standard comment refers to dry and clean chamber and brass.
