    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Re: Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures OK all - I'll grant the argument two things: 1- Yes, now thinking about it, a bullet can move, then stop after primer strike, but before propellant ignition. I'm sure of it, but it's a function of your throat and bullet seating depth...

    Gunsmithing Stuck with Grizzly

    Folks, I received a bunch of gift certificates to Grizzly for Christmas and birthday. I've since scoured the internet and found significant price differences on similar tooling that I want. Called Grizzly customer service and they won't allow me to "cash in" the certificates. Got to use...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Re: Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures When I get a new barrel, I'll run a bore cast with dead soft lead. I"ll feed it back and forth thru the bore, while it's captured on a jag. If I feel any tight spots before the muzzle, I"ll lap those tight spots out. If the only tight...

    Super Glue and .22..?

    Re: Super Glue and .22..? You got it wrong on the pressure/velocity thing. Given the "same" powder in your test load (as in not changing the powder), then for every increase in velocity (energy), you actually "square" the pressure. Yes, a generalization, but also a good rule of thumb...

    Maggie’s Awesome Mental Test. Please Try It.

    Re: Awesome Mental Test. Please Try It. Red rotary phase converter, and wondering why the hell I'm blowing a fuse on L1 at the mill disconnect. Getting 252v max and 240v min when referencing L1-L2-L3 off the idler motor! WTF!

    Resizing brass troubles

    Re: Resizing brass troubles Lube is a bigger player than you might think. Make sure all cases are lubed well, and lubed the same. Too much, and you'll dent the cases. Too little, and you'll stick a round in the die. Too inconsistent, and your shoulders will be all over the map. Also...

    Temp Sensitivy Question

    Re: Temp Sensitivy Question Bottom line answer to the top question: You're talking about two different worlds. Most folks don't recognize it, but temperatures affect on ballistics is two fold. First, you've got internal ballistics. The temperature of the propellant bed, the temperature...

    Movie Theater Boom stick

    Merry Christmas All! I'm looking for a video that's been floated around for the past few months to show my brother in law. I think it was called something to the effect of "Boomstick". An ameture video, with a guy in a ski mask, teaching idiots about a rifle and ammunition. Can anybody help...

    Advanced Marksmanship Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps

    Re: Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps OK, OK. I'm not saying that the cycling of a bolt gun is as fast as a gas gun. What I am saying is that you can manipulate a bolt gun during the recoil phase. That recoil phase is the only time delay that really counts with both systems...

    What is your favorite quote/saying?

    Re: What is your favorite quote/saying? If at first you don't succeed, try a bigger hammer! And then the ones about "answering yes"... ie - Does a bear shit in the woods? How about this: Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick? Pope wear a funny hat? Peanut butter come in a spray can...

    Advanced Marksmanship Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps

    Re: Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps In almost all instances with a bolt gun, (in order to shoot quickly) you reload during the recoil action. Can't do anything during the recoil portion with a gas gun but wait. Now, with a sling, the forward elbow is anchored, and the sling...

    Advanced Marksmanship Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps

    Re: Bolt guns faster than semi in rapid fire comps Well.... I can't rest my case, because these bolt guns only raced against one version of a gas gun...and the gas guns in question were not using bipods. However, I still remain firm that a good bolt gunner with a sling can outshoot (speed...

    Role of Neck "Tension"?

    Re: Role of Neck "Tension"? You'll get to a point where additional "sqeezing" of the neck means nothing. But that's a story for another day. If you're looking for better accuracy, check out your TIR (total indicated runout) of your loaded rounds. Measure on/about the end of the full...

    Gunsmithing Machine oil

    All, I used to live in an industrial area (Phenix City), but now find myself among loafers and suits. I'm getting ready to place my 16" Southbend and Bridgeport. Looking for an easy/affordable source for machine oil. Practical Machinist calls out ISO 22, ISO 32-46 and ISO 68. Besides...

    cleaning a 22lr do or dont

    Re: cleaning a 22lr do or dont If you're into plinking, don't worry too much about cleaning. Just keep basic maintenance and she'll run longer than you will. If you're talking match or bench, that's another story. You will get leading of the bore, and it'll deposit in a hard way. A brush...

    Advanced Marksmanship I CANT, and I want to stop

    Re: I CANT, and I want to stop If you're shooting KD and have dope, canting is more beneficial than forcing your body into contorsions (sp?) to get sight picture. In match shooting, it's all about balance and score. Bring the rifle to your face, not your face to the rifle. If you're...
