    Beginning load for 7WSM: H-1000 and 162 Hornady BTSP

    I do a lot of research before loading a new cartridge, but some of my sources cite different velocities for the same powder charge. My Sierra manual lists 69.0 grains to net approximately 2900 fps, while Hodgdon 69.0 grains nets 2969 fps. I think I am going to start at 67 grains and work...

    Oregon Sniper Challenge

    What a fantastic match! We Oregonians need to get more long range matches put together so we can get together more often. Lowlight is one cool cat. I noticed he had a range estimation patch on his jacket, and he pulled it off and gave it to me on the spot. Pleasure meeting everyone...

    Grim Reaper Tactical Shorty DDM Patrol Rifle

    So, this last weekend at the Oregon Sniper Challenge, I scored a fantastic chassis from McRee's Precision. Tossed and turned about selling it or keeping it. I need to visit the for sale section and remove it! Here are the photos with the associated length: 45 1/2" overall: 38 1/2" overall...

    Grim Reaper Tactical Shorty DDM Patrol Rifle

    I would do it again in a minute. I would still consider going shorter (16.5"-16"). For all practical purposes, a 16" rifle should hit 1000 yards (paper punching) and still take deer at 300-400 yards. I think the days of tactical 24" 308 rifles is seeing an end. F class, Palma, classes like that...

    Oregon Sniper Challenge

    Inside one week till the challenge. Who's going? Who's ready? Me? Funny you should ask. My rifle has been complete for one week, never shot 800 yards with any regularity, and let's not discuss moving targets! I have rough leads for walking (slow and fast), but no real way to judge speed...

    Started my new rifle today

    Well, as it turns out, he wants something a little different. He has set his sights on a 6.5 creedmoor. Good thing I have another action. Is all good, I will just use this one for work. Shot a short match today with it. Man, I REALLY need to get my chrono fixed and find out my velocity. But...

    Started my new rifle today

    Well, got out to the range with it today. First rifle I have ever built from the ground up... needless to say, I was more than a little nervous. My fears were totally unfounded when I shot the first group. I cover 5 shot group with a dime. All this with FGMM 175. My boy does not know at this...

    Any regrets going custom?

    My only regret EVER was that I did not get started making my own. I had a Chad Dixon built rifle that was as good a rifle as can be built. I never regretted it, ever, and was saddened when I had to sell it to get funding for a rifle for my son and I. You will never regret the decision IF YOU DO...

    The Wallyworld 700

    I picked up the same rifle at Sportsmans Warehouse in 243. Cheap scope, cheap rings, cheap bases, cheap stock. Gave the scope to my son for his 22lr about all it is good for and he is not as discerning as I am...), sell the barrel to someone who needs it but does not want to pay $$$ for custom...

    Gunsmithing Going cheap on a 700 truing

    Scout Supply Company (SPS Tactical Stage 1 | Scout Supply CompanyScout Supply Company) has this little package deal going. In truth, I have no clue if this is on their rifle, or on your rifle. Price is $825. **edit** I stand corrected: Their accurization cost is $350. The above cost must be...

    M24/ Rem varmint barrel pics please

    Rem Varmint at the heaviest if you plan on lugging it. I have a 22" M40 and it is a heavy bastard. I have lugged it places, but if I go hunting, it is the last one I grab for.

    Gunsmithing Getting a new barrel, should i have the action trued?

    If you are going to install a quality aftermarket barrel, don't skimp on anything that might decrease accuracy. You are already there, just do it. Think of it this way: You are out hunting and miss a shot on a beautiful 5x5 mule deer. You think to yourself, could I have missed that because I...
