    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    We're building up a full head of steam here.... I'm going to see if we can get some support. SMG Fuller, you out there?

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    Idaho- I've got house guests over the weekend, but I will see about some descriptive pictures some time next week. Perhaps RGeyer and I can get together and shoot some sling porn. Do you have access to a 1907 sling, or something like it? Even if you don't I've seen world class shooters do...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    Bubba Delk will always be better than me. He's a god (little g, though). Nay, a Titan of a shooter! Yes, a Titan! But back to slings: Here's another way of saying what I said up top: We've got a whole bunch of new shooters out there, and not a one of them (barely) have been "shown the ways...

    Retumbo vs US869

    Chariot, US869 is darn near flat for velocity swing at temps, with jacketed bullets. The only problem I've ever seen with this powder was with bore riders. Those are the ones with the driving band at full caliber, but the body of the bullet at bore (not groove) diameter. I'm guessing that...

    300 blackout not cycling

    tell us what direction the brass ejects from the rifle. If 1-2 o'clock, then bad. If 3-4 o'clock, good (or at least better).

    Suggestions for a good book for a long range shooting novice.

    The very first book you need to read is ,"A Rifleman Went to War", by McBride. Period. Read this one first. I ain't gently recommending it. I'm telling you to read it.

    Bad primers or something else?

    Following Kevin's line of thinking, how about this? Get a straight edge, and lay it across the heads of those cartridges that didn't go off. Specific to the primer cup, is it now sitting "up above" the head? Granted, you don't generally want chamber/case interference (negative headspace), but...

    Gunsmithing reworked action does not fit stock

    Yes, very common to modify the stock. Die grinder or dremel tool is in order. Get yourself some bedding compound, some release agent and some paper tape. This is a relatively easy fix. If you can play with play-dough, you can do this. Don't touch that lug. It's all about adjusting the...

    Retumbo vs US869

    I have shot US 869 in my .338 Lapua, both with 250 grain and 300 grain bullets. With a fresh barrel, I was 1 MOA or better at 100 yards. My 300 grain charge weight was 103.5 grains. If you're not grouping even 3" at 100 yards, and if you don't think you're burning out all the powder, then I'd...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    I'm thinking of a "Poster" campaign. Show folks what the positions look like. Show them what they, as shooters are capable of. Does Appleseed or CMP have something like this? A poster at every range...promoting marksmanship. Showing positions.. Man, what a concept. Marksmanship...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    SS- I can always count on you to provide valuable insight. Maybe what we need is "shiny" objects to show the new shooters. Something to catch their eye, let them know that there's more out there than vertical forend grips and flashlights? How do we promote marksmanship "bling"?

    Composite stock for an 03-A3

    Update- I have taken a donor 700 LA stock, an ADL and milled it out to fit the 1903A3 action. Just like with anything else, it took a while to figure out the tooling, centering, figuring, scratching of head...but finally got it. The action fits into the stock just fine. A bit of glass...

    Gunsmithing What is the secret to making a 243 barrel last

    All these powders mentioned have a high flame temperature. BALL POWDER(R) Propellant has a much lower average flame temperature, and as such, gas cutting and bore erosion are much less. I used to compete with VV powders with my 6mm BR, and my barrel life was around 1200 rounds. I switched to...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    I've been thinking quite a bit about the resurgence of prone shooting. It sure beats the jackwagons who go to the range and sit at a bench, shoot their rifle off a tripod or bipod and claim that they were practicing marksmanship. Hey, I'm guilty too. Sometimes my truck is filled with...
