    Gunsmithing What to do if the barrel nut just won't line up?

    Re: What to do if the barrel nut just won't line up? NEVER back it off. Use lots of moly grease on the face of the barrel extension and threads. Tighten three times and then torque to 35 ft lbs. Tighten to the next hole if needed. If it's too tight back it off, and continue to tighten...

    Gunsmithing ReProfile Excellent shooting barrel

    Re: ReProfile Excellent shooting barrel Why does anyone think a "re-profile" would cause any more stress than the original turning? The simple answer is you risk changing (good or bad) accuracy when you make changes.

    Range Report -Equation for Transfered Energy...?-

    Re: -Equation for Transfered Energy...?- The unfortunate reality for this conversation is that terminal performance is about destroying vital tissue, not the right formula. The "right formula" to calculate "transferred energy" is pointless as it does not tell us how much tissue is/can be...

    Advanced Marksmanship expectations of military snipers(first round hits)

    Advanced Marksmanship expectations of military snipers(first round hits)

    Re: expectations of military snipers(first round h I noticed the number of rounds to hit DID NOT include any adjustment after the first shot. I also think it's reasonable to assume that the increased recoil of the 300WM, 338LM and 50BMG would require more training (for most)to keep...
