    Barrel Life/Barrel Cost Formula?

    as the US military moves away from 7.62 as their long range round towards 6.5 mm and faster 300's and larger bores all which will have shorter lifetimes than the venerable 7.62 I would think they might be very interested in barrels with twice the life. When I worked OneShot I tried to get...

    howa 1100 rimfire rumours?

    I just called sales at Legacy Sports, Howa's US importer, asking about when the M1100's would start shipping, he replied they should be in the hands of distributors and retailers this coming week. Any FFL with a storefront can order them today. I tried to get an idea of what retailers would be...

    Gunsmithing Reloading question

    I have had great luck with Varget and RL-15 with my 375 Ruger a pretty nice shooting gun, especially when you figure how much energy it delivers and the ability to put two holes in every land mammal in North America from almost all angles with the right bullet. I shoot Hammer bullets a solid...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone ever use their illumination?

    I use an illuminated reticle on my bear guns, it helps a lot otherwise you are trying to see a black reticle against a black backgroung in a low light situation, for applications like this shot placement is much easier. Better shot placement on a bear late in the shooting day is a good thing...

    The best electronic scoring system?

    One thing that testing rimfires brings to the mix is many electronic targets require the bullets to exceed the speed, at the target, of sound to record the location. The microphones pick up the sonic crack of the bullet, below the speed of sound no sonic crack. Just something to keep in mind, wade

    New barrel for Tikka Master Sporter m595....is this something i can do at home or should it go to a gunsmith?

    I know that the barrel on T3's are very difficult to remove. I have tried to spin two barrels off of T3's and they just did not want to unscrew, I put them in the lathe and made a relief cut just in front of the receiver. With the relief cut made the barrels spin off very easy so they must use...

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool & Gauge SUCKS!!!

    I placed an order for a 3 position safety for a Mauser 98 and a long action Rem 700. The Mauser safety was in stock and the 3 position for the long action 700 was a custom order. The 98 safety showed in less than a week, the invoice showing the 700 safety was backordered. The Mauser...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Reboring

    For hunting applications this company has a good reputation for reboring barrels, for about $250 they rebore and rechamber the barrel is cut rifled. Give them a call. I almost went with JES to have a commrecial Mauser in 30-06 rebored to a 9.3 x 62, but decided to just rebarrel in my shop. Of...

    Winchester Model 70 Advice

    Before doing anything I would take the gun to the range with three or four different flavors of factory ammo, if you reload go with rounds loaded with a few different hunting bullets. Shoot the gun and see if it provides adequate accuracy and comfort of shooting and handling. Spend the money...

    Building a 375 H&H, looking for a specific setup

    You might have an easier time if you look at chambering in the 375 Ruger given the shorter case length. The claim is that the Ruger will exceed the performance of the H&H but I thnk the advantage of the Ruger is in the case length and a rimless case. The rimless case is probably a personal...

    Rifle Scopes Patented Reticle a Question

    I have always wondered how someone can patent a reticle and how easy it would be to work around it. First why I wonder how you can patent a reticle: A reticle is essentially just a measuring device not unlike a ruler many of the patented ones are rulers in two dimensions (Christmas trees)...

    22-6mm Brass, whats my best option?

    By 6mm I assume you mean the 6mm Remington, if that is the case about the best brass you can get for the 7 mm Mauser is RWS, which is the parent case for 257 Roberts which is necked up to get the 6 mm remington. The RWS is great brass hard to find but worth it when you, just neck it down in...

    Force Indicating Seater For Standard Presses - Would This Work?

    No, i have not that is one of the main reason for building the system I have the components. I did not make any claims that seating force would impact POI but if it did it seems that ranking the rounds would help. wade

    Force Indicating Seater For Standard Presses - Would This Work?

    I understand that I was giving a method that does not cause the spike in force when seater bottoms out.

    Force Indicating Seater For Standard Presses - Would This Work?

    if you measure the force the cartridge base applies to the force transducer will not go up when the press bottoms out. The problem I see with just measuring force is the force measured will be dependent upon the force you apply to the press handle. I have a force tranducer and linear scale, I...

    Accuracy issue with DPMS .308

    Have someone else shoot it, ideally someone who shoots a 308 AR well, especially if you are new to large frame ARs, this is what I recommend someone do after checking the rings and scope. Trying out FGMM is a great idea also, if it does not shoot FGMM well it probably does not shoot much of...
