    How to tell if you need Annealing

    Re: How to tell if you need Annealing The answer is yes. When you fire a round, the case is work hardened which means the amount of spring back at the shoulders and at the neck is changed. A change in the shoulder would affect how much you push to get the amount of headspace you need. So a...

    Re: Sonic Cleaners Looks like they have two websites. I've been reminded that this is the one for the discounted prices: http://www.ultrasonicsdirect.com/

    Sonic Cleaners

    Re: Sonic Cleaners Good news! I would say if you are seriousely intersted buy it soon. When I order the unit, the lady had mentioned an upcoming price increase.... The advantage of this unit is that it is 6" deep which means that after you take your handgun slide off, you can place it and...

    Sonic Cleaners

    Re: Sonic Cleaners Holy shit! The price of that unit just went through the roof. Must have been too many recomendations by me! I got mine, the 6L ($655 now) for $395 just on the 16th of this month. Sorry guys!

    Sonic Cleaners

    Re: Sonic Cleaners The BCG and parts are really clean with the 1220-G gun solvent. The two thing that did not come out 100% was the carrier at the very back where the bolt slides in where the carbon cakes. The good news is it did wipe clean when I use my regular Hoppe’s Elite gun cleaner...

    Sonic Cleaners

    Re: Sonic Cleaners Like I said, I used it on my handguns and it works well. For rifles, I use it to clean the BCGs/charging handles and that also works well. Can’t quite get my carbine in there – LOL!

    Sonic Cleaners

    Re: Sonic Cleaners Just used a Sharpertek SH180-6L on my handguns today. A total of 15 min in their 1220-G gun cleaner heated to 120 degree and clean them out real well. What I really like about this method over all other methods is that if you field strip the gun and put the slide and...

    Shoulder bumping --- need your thoughts

    Re: Shoulder bumping --- need your thoughts A couple of things. One is Jdgray is right about only neck sizing for a gas gun – a no no. You can only do this for a bolt gun. There will be reliability issues at best and at worse, I won’t go there. Bob 964 is also right about one thing and...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce dilema for long range

    Re: Nightforce dilema for long range The key here and the reason why you are having problem deciding is you have not prioritized what is most important to you. If distance shooting is most important and especially if you need absolute accuracy, then magnification would be most important -...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 8x32-56 not much elevation?

    Re: Nightforce 8x32-56 not much elevation? You have a problem there somewhere, would suggest you call NF. I have a NSX 8-32x NF with the same ZS and speed turret and have shot it out to 1k. It’s an MOA/MOA scope and I was zero in at 100 yards. With this setup on a 20MOA rail, I was able...

    Rifle Scopes Does your 1-4x/1-6x/1-8x stay focus?

    The title does not allow the full question but does these scopes maintain focus when dial between the two extreme magnifications? Don’t have one of these yet but one is on the way but was interested in your answer to this question since I don’t think I have seen this question answered before...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1-6.5 Elite Tactical

    Re: Bushnell 1-6.5 Elite Tactical Good advice but realistically unless you are real lucky to have a buddy with one, where can you do this? This review is just about as good as I have seen! Looked through a Trijicon 1-4x yesterday at a match and was really impressed by the eye box at 1x and...

    Rifle Scopes Optical rangefinder: Why not?

    Re: Optical rangefinder: Why not? I think the reason is size and weight. The accuracy of any optical rangefinder is dependent on how well it is made and the distance between the two reference optics. The further they are apart, the more accurate. This is the reason why those artillery RF...

    Heavy Safe Upstairs?

    Re: Heavy Safe Upstairs? You know, when anyone brings up this thing about buying a safe, everyone always says buy the biggest one... Now I understand the rationale, but have you thought about buying two medium size ones? That would also ease the logistics big time. I know smaller safes are...

    Heavy Safe Upstairs?

    Re: Heavy Safe Upstairs? Have you thought about using a closet downstairs. It would put a crimp on closet space but it would get you completely around the visibility, weight concerns, and the logistics of having to move it up and down (later).
