    Good online resource for new wood stove owner

    I recently have started using a wood stove in a new house I have bought. I am looking for a good online resource for knowledge on efficient use, care, etc. I have the basics, but just like how this sight has taught me so much, I am looking for more. A couple pages of good didn't turn up...

    Barrel length for 338 Lapua at ELR

    What info do you put into quick load to help you determine which barrel you use? And what information do you get out of quick load to help you with your barrel selection?

    That looks great! Last week I gave my parts to a local powder coater for a cerakote job in burnt bronze. My next one just might have be along the lines of that color!

    Interesting. I have heard Numerous accounts of how critical the crown is. In fact so critical that how your cleaning rod/brush leaves the barrel and engages the crown can degrade accuracy.

    300 blk Truck Gun

    Too bad, a Noveske 8.2" barrel was in stock a few days ago at rainier but I missed it. Been waiting a few months for that email.. I will keep tuned on this thread since I also will be building one soon.

    75gr A-Max to mag length?

    Great find. Looks like the SMK is a little shorter than the Amax and possibly a little longer on the bearing surface. I already have 500 so I might as well load some up and see what I find.

    I find it interesting that after your first cut to 23" you accuracy improved. I understand the barrel harmonics at play but one would not expect removing the target crown via a hacksaw would not degrade accuracy more than barrel length can improve it.

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting Skills: Sniper vs Competition Shooters

    To do this test they took snipers and put them in a competition shooter's environment and shot against competition shooters. But they could never flip it around and make a test that goes the other way. Enough said.

    Gunsmithing should i loctite the barrel extension and other good knowledge please

    Thanks msalm and stryker.I am aware of the torque changing properties of different fluids due to my time as a heavy equipment mechanic. Why not get the barrel nut torqued to say.. 35 lbs to account for your choise of thread compound and then mill out a spot for the gas tube if need be. I also...

    question about brass weighing

    I do plan on finding out first hand if there is a benefit. I like your idea Rprecison of taking the highest and lowest and comparing them to the best ones.

    Gunsmithing should i loctite the barrel extension and other good knowledge please

    Alright so I will soon be installing my noveske barrel to an upper. I want my install to be as good as possible to optimize the noveske barrel. I have searched and read and unless I am directed otherwise here, I will do the following. Red loctite on the barrel extension but NOT on any...
