    Dedicated rifle to shoot CCI quiets (710fps) CZ457 American or Varmint MTR?

    If you think the CCI quiets n(~710fps?) are not enough power and might get stuck in the barrel you can always shoot the Quiet Semi Auto (~850fps?). I don't recall the exact velocity but they are around there. The standard CCI is around 1050 as are most "Match" 22lr ammo.

    3d Printed Baker-esque Wings

    Ditto on if you are willing to share the stl file. Been enjoying making parts for my presses and reloading and saw the swings the other day and wondered about a printed set.

    Which brands have the most insufferable fandom? Geissele? BCM? Noveske? Colt? Sig?

    man I can't believe no one has mentioned Savage. At least on the local forum, the answer is always Savage for any precision or long range. Not everyone is on a budget. :) So many to choose from. KAC I think takes the cake. AI. LMT (as an LMT owner). Poverty Pony (Anderson). Taurus (well maybe...

    Ruger no. 1

    wondered if anyone would show that one, one of the best looking #1's I've seen. @Burdy might be able to comment on the particulars of his rifle..

    Aero Precision AR-10 BCG warranty claim

    2 year old used part and you want them to replace it without even inspecting it? :ROFLMAO: Unless you have disassembled it and tested the various components of the BCG to see what part is actually not working I'd say that the best course of action is to send it back, have them test it, or...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    got the countertops all installed and sanding them. Now I am debating a coating or stain. I've prefer to keep the natural look or maybe a very light stain (makes it easier to find small parts when I drop them) and also protecting from stains from chemicals while cleaning... any suggestions for...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    thought about doing something like this. I've installed a ton of Elfa shelving in the house over the years, pretty similar and pretty heavy duty.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Got a lot of great ideas from the thread. Need some help though- working on a new reloading area in the house. I installed four 36" cabinets and another 12" on the end for support. Got four 6' butcher block counter tops. So far I've got about 90% of the area done, but trying to figure out the...

    depending upon what you are doing (muzzle devices vs. barrel nut, etc) there's also the MagPul BEV block.

    Powder Info

    I think you are on the right track. Some rifles will prefer certain powders but overall (the ones I know) the H4350 works great for most with the 140+ gr bullets. For the 280 either would work well (the "sc" is just the Short Cut version so the little rods are a bit smaller and meters better...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    I'm setting up for 300. I've got a 247gr NOE mold that I can powder coat. I reload 45LC and actually have a bunch of new Starline 45 Schofield cases for cowboy loads that would be fun and shouldn't be too hard to find a heavy mold. Currently have a 22lr that I will probably get threaded, a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    so lets say you were going to buy a contender barrel specifically to run subs with a can. What caliber would you go with? I have a 45 pistol can and a 30 cal rifle can, but will probably pick up a Dead Air Primal in the near future.. 38 special? 300 BO? 8.6CM? 44 special? 22lr? I have a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    glad to see this bumped again... some good looking contenders anyone know of good sources for threaded barrels for the contender? Now that I have some cans I can't resist something like my 22lr or a 44 special barrel with some 300gr bullets subsonic.. A while ago I read (silencertalk?) about...

    Gunsmithing I need help choosing BEST 300 Blackout in 10.5

    I bought a Mos-tek 7” barrel recently. Haven’t finished the build yet but my main reason for looking at Mos-tek was the 1:5 twist rate. I really only plan to shoot heavy subs with it so wanted the faster twist. I’ll have to test some Maker bullets at super velocities and see how that works...

    Bergara B14R questions

    I understand the weight thing. I finally built up a longer range rifle for myself (M24 contour, ACC chassis, Vortex optic, all heavy stuff) but had wondered why I saw everyone running the steel B14's. I'll see if I can swing it in the next week or so, for her starting out maybe throw it in a...
