    Re: Stupid AI mag question The shoulder is blown out since it's an Ackley, but the parent case is the 308 - same case head.

    Stupid AI mag question

    Guys, I know this is a stupid question, but I gotta ask. I bought a rifle last year chambered in 243AI that has an AI stock. I thought the mag held 5 rounds, but I can only fit 3 in the damn thing. This particular mag is a 308 mag and sits flush with the bottom of the stock. Does AI even...

    IWB Holster Advice

    Re: IWB Holster Advice I just went to order an MTAC and found that they don't make one for the PT140. CTAC fits, but I like the idea of the leather for comfort. Seems odd that they don't make the MTAC to fit it, since they are very close in design. Maybe I'll give them a call.

    IWB Holster Advice

    Re: IWB Holster Advice Thanks for all the inputs guys. This was really helpful. After looking at all the different options, there were a couple of other things that I took into consideration. 1. Being able to tuck my shirt in while wearing it was important. This ruled out some of those...

    IWB Holster Advice

    Gents, I've got a Taurus PT140 and looking for a comfortable IWB holster for concealed carry. There's not a whole lot out there like for the Glocks or Smiths, but I did find a couple and wanted to see if any of you had tried them. The first that seems interesting is the Super Tuck from...

    How crucial is trimming brass to exact OAL?

    Re: How crucial is trimming brass to exact OAL? I guess I'll be the odd ball. If I was shooting benchrest, I would probably trim every time just for the peace of mind. Since I don't, I only trim when the case exceeds the maximum OAL. For the matches I shoot, a 0.03-0.06 improvement in my...

    7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06

    Re: 7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06 Two other things to keep in mind: - The heavier the rifle the less felt recoil you will encounter. However, this ties into how you wish to use it and what is tolerable for you. If you want to keep the rig light and have minimal recoil, either put the...

    Am I being too optomistic looking for .25MOA?

    Re: Am I being too optomistic looking for .25MOA? If you're shooting benchrest, you need to do better than .25 MOA and that isn't gonna happen consistently enough with your stock rifle. For tactical shooting, consistent .5-.75 MOA from a stock rifle will get the job done. It's fun to keep...

    243 AI Owners - Velocity Question

    I've got new Rock barrel coming for my 243AI. My current barrel is slow twist, but I'm moving to a fast twist to shoot the heavies. There are 3 different bullets that I want to focus on: 115 DTAC, 107 SMK & 105 Amax. I want to run the numbers for each to determine best performance and cost...

    7mm and spotting your own hits

    Re: 7mm and spotting your own hits Need more info. Several factors will drive this. What cartridge are you shooting? Using a brake or can? Heavy or light rifle? I have both a 7RM and a 7-08. Neither have a can or brake. The magnum weighs about 16# and I usually can start spotting...

    Re: 25 cal 115g nosler CT silvertip Haven't used the silver tips, but still use the standard ballistic tips in my 257 WBY. Same results as donovan. Lots o' meat damage as well. Never had one take off on me.

    7 rem mag load development work up

    Re: 7 rem mag load development work up H4, I would seriously consider moving to a slower powder like mentioned above. Using Retumbo or RL-25, you should be able to easily get over 3k with no problems or pressure. Hell, I'm hitting just shy of that with 175 SMKs. Also, I've found the 162...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Buckmaster vs Monarch

    Re: Nikon Buckmaster vs Monarch I'll second what dksd said. I have both and although the Buckmaster is a great value with good glass, the Monarch is clearly a better optic all around. Just like dksd, my Buckmaster sits on a 22 that I use for hunting and plinking. The Monarchs that I own...

    primers for 7mm rem mag?

    Re: primers for 7mm rem mag? Quite honestly, you need to test them. Everyone has their own recipe and it really depends on what powder you are using and what your rifle likes. With mine, I started with Win LRM primers and moved to CCI 250's which gave me better accuracy. If you're shooting...

    17 REM or 17 FIREBALL

    Re: 17 REM or 17 FIREBALL I have a bone stock 17 Rem, but I can't really answer which is better or the barrel life. I use mine mainly for groundhog hunting in areas that I can't afford a ricochet. I'm using the 20gr V-Max and pushing it to about 4200 fps, IIRC. At 100yds, it will typically...
