    Help me figure this out. Bulged case head.

    The case head separation that I have seen. in the past doesnt expand out like these did. That ring is .010 bigger than the rest of the case. Isn't that part of the case supposed to be in the chamber? I'll do some more measurements and get back with you on the length.

    Help me figure this out. Bulged case head.

    They all have the ring , just some ypu could just see and as the loads got hotter the ring started to protrude, the bolt is locked into the barrel extension.

    I don't know, I'm not a very good shooter. I stopped after the hit because I would most likely have missed the next shot and might as well end the day on a high point. But I really do like the rifle. It's a replica of the original Winchester 1886 with out all the added lawyer stuff added to...

    So not a sniper rifle, so wasn't sure where to post it, but it is a old design. Was out shooting some gas guns at some gongs and at the end of the day decided to pull out a browning 1886 45-70 saddle ring carbine that was made in 1992 in Miroku japan. The gong is 12 inch diameter and is...

    Surgeon XL AI AX chassis correct mag info.

    Figured I would put this info out there, as I couldn't find anything on it. I bought a AI AX chassis for my Surgeon XL action and when I ordered it from EO I asked if the AX mag was the correct on for this AX chassis, They said it was. So fast forward I get the rifle all together and noticed...
