    Any 777 pilots here? Can the cabin pressure be shut off at the cockpit?

    I only have 2500 hours on the 777, so don't call me an expert, but I don't see any posts from genuine 777 pilots here. Just exactly how are you going to turn off the pressurisation? OK, so you do that, but when the cabin altitude hits 14,000ft, those masks are coming down. That's NOT...

    6mm Tac Match cartridge comparisons

    Errrrrr.... Any chance you can add 6mm Super LR into the mix?? I WAS going to build a 6XC, but you've got me thinkin' now..... Neil

    Been Comparing 243 and 260

    Why only look at 105 A-max? Check out the ballistics on the 115grn DTAC. around 2895fps out of a 6XC. That's not pushing it either... You could also look into 6XC and 6mm Super LR. I just used a 6XC, only out to 800yds, but the drift (lack of) was awesome. The lead on movers was a good MIL...

    Gunsmithing What screw spacing does a savage 12 LRP have?

    In similar vein, Somebody out there knows this, because I've seen it quoted before. Can anybody tell me the thread pitch on Remington/Howa 1500 action screws? Made a cock-up of my last bedding job, need a do-over. Action screws would help. (Don't ask!!) Thanks, Neil

    Gunsmithing Guys who has a link to Wnroscoes bedding DIY project

    William, NO! it HAS to be said. You are without doubt one of the nicest guys I know. Unfortunately I only know you electronically, but one of these days I intend to correct that. I've seen things that you've done for others and I know the chats we've had (again, electronic), so yes, it does...

    Gunsmithing Machine shop education

    First statement YES!!! Second statement, NO!!! (apart from the last statement, it's ALWAYS worth asking) Talk to George at GAP, I spoke with him, and he was willing to take me on as an intern. Sadly I couldn't do it as a severe car crash put me out of action for a while, plus ongoing...

    Gunsmithing new build, 243 or 6.5 or 6mm ?

    6XC. Norma factory brass. 115DTAC's (Stellar BC) and higher velocity than .243. Check out the ballistics. It's different! When I've shot out my .243 that's the route I'm going. Thought about 6SLR, but no factory cases. N

    Remington Wins SOCOM Sniper Rifle Contract

    Turk, I think ChrisF above has some valuable input he's holding back on, but MY understanding, not being involved, but following VERY closely, was that the AI outshot the other rifles. In terms of the then issued sniper rifle, by some considerable margin! Yes, AI was virtually being run out of...

    Magnum Primer Question

    Thanks for the input Guys. I already have a stock of Federal GM 205 M primers, I was just being greedy when 5,000 PMC primers were being offered at the right price. Truth is, I am lazy, and don't want to start working up new loads for Magnum primers in my .223 when I could swap the SR Magnum...

    6.5x51 LPR any one heard of this

    Sorry my earlier posts were a bit of a piss-take, but it NEVER ceases to amaze me how people keep trying to re-invent the wheel. If there was something WONDERFUL out there, the big ammunition companies would have already pushed it, and if it was REALLY that much better we would ALL be shooting...

    6.5x51 LPR any one heard of this

    Why not just shoot it as a 6.5x55 Swede?? Millions of dead moose can't be wrong! Just ram a iddy bit more powder in and duplicate the .260Rem, or exceed it... N

    6.5x51 LPR any one heard of this

    Maybe you'd be just as well to get a .260rem. You know, FACTORY brass, FACTORY ammo, SAAMI spec calibre. I'm just spitballin' here. N

    Rifle Scopes Recommended scope under $1500

    Hi Sam, Not checked out any of your posts recently. How's it going? You go for the .22LR idea or not? Scope wise, well let me put it this way... I have a Vortex razor HD, and I'm looking at a top of the line scopes to buy (OK, I admit it, I'm an airline pilot, so I have a certain...
