    Giving up on Berger Hybrids

    Sorry in advance for the rant... I guess I had pretty bad timing when I had my first custom rifle built at the beginning of last year with the .264"/6.5mm Berger 140 gr Hybrid bullet in mind for cartridge as well as throat and barrel length. I have only put ~400 rounds through the rifle the...

    Cleaning new stainless steel pins

    I didn't clean the pins all.... Just added the brass, water and other ingredients, and let it rock and roll. I haven't noticed any damage to brass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hunting & Fishing Berger 140 Hunting VLD vs Texas whitetail

    Shot this Brazoria County buck a few weeks ago from ~150 yards with a Berger 140 Hunting VLD out of a 6.5x55. It went out happy - chasing 4 does. The deer was hit mid-spine and dropped instantly. It took a minute to find the entry wound, and there were 3-4 pinprick exit wounds from shrapnel...

    Glass for upcoming GAP10...

    I'm waiting on a February 2013 GAP-10 order that looks very similar to yours, and I've been wondering the same thing. My current choice is Bushnell DMR G2... But I keep browsing the used optics hoping to get a US Optics SR-17 or NF F1 on the cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AR Newbie - Best $1500 AR15?

    Hey Guys, I know I'm redirecting the thread some, but I'm in a similar boat. I want to build and AR15 for 3-gun / home defense / 1-300 yard target shooting, and would like some opinions. I already have the lower assembled, and am working on the upper now. Rock River Arms just released...

    Current GAP-10 Turnarround Status

    Thanks for the update, George. It speaks worlds about GAP's customer service to keep everyone in the loop on deliveries like this. I think the new hand guard looks great- nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing mine (2/11/2013 order)! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lead time for Noveske SPR and best place to get it

    I'm looking to buy an 18" Noveske SPR in 556. Does anyone know what the current lead time is? I doubt I can find one in stock anywhere... Also, what is the best way to order... Call Noveske direct or call the local gun shop? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Diagonal stringing

    Thanks for the advice... I'm probably due to upgrade to a beam scale. I was looking at the RCBS 10-10 scale... what would you recommend? Yep, I don't think the deer will complain much. For target/match shooting, I can get loads with better groups, but these will work just fine for the current...

    Diagonal stringing

    Hunting season is upon us, and most of the bullets I shoot are not appropriate for hunting, so I figured I better load up a few hunting rounds and test them out. I did approximately zero load development for these rounds. I took a powder charge that I knew would be safe in my gun and looked...

    Picking out a Mosin Nagant

    Hey, My local gun shop has a big pile of Mosin Nagants in stock, and I've been eyeing them... I never owned one before... what should I look for to pick a "good one" I'm not that interested in how pretty it is, more interested in safety, functionality, and accuracy. Thanks.

    Too much freebore? Need help.

    That is the Hornady bullet comparator, and you are correct, it is only measuring to a specific diameter on the nose. Maybe 0.250" or something like it. That being said, do you think the difference in ogive angles is big enough to explain the difference between the book 0.090" and 0.034"? Part...

    Too much freebore? Need help.

    Looks like they're a touch shorter than what I've got, but they'll help fill the gap until bullets are back on the shelf. I appreciate the offer... I will PM.

    Too much freebore? Need help.

    Yes... I have actually already noticed more than I expected. From the ~220 rounds I've fired so far, I've gotten almost 0.010 throat erosion from this bartlein barrel! None of the rounds have been significantly hot, but all the bullets have been ones with long bearing surfaces. I'm hoping that...
