    KRG bolt lift

    Re: KRG bolt lift John, any future plans on a metal version of the clamp on bolt lift? I've been thinking about one for a while, but would much rather have one in metal to match the bolt handle better.

    Gunsmithing rem. 700 xmark trigger

    Re: rem. 700 xmark trigger I've noticed it too myself, tried toying with it a few times (I'm no 'smith- however semi-decently mechanically inclined). Only solution I've come up with (besides buy a Timney) is to buy a Jewell. I kid, but I've found no way to take up the side to side slop on...

    first time doing ladders, advice

    Re: first time doing ladders, advice Maximum 43.5g Varget for 175smk seems a little low. My sweet spot is 44.7g (45g is Hodgdon's listed maximum). Also, half grain increments seem a little large for me. I'd go with .3 increments at first, than do a second run with even finer increments once...

    Problem

    Re: Problem Case volume could be causing a pressure difference. Do a water volume comparison between two casings. You may be surprised what you find between two casings. However I do agree with Bill, there has to be something else going on if you're going from <MOA @ 100 to off paper @200...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry Ammo, How often do you replace with fresh?

    Got to thinking- how often do you guys replace your carry ammo with new? Personally I go thru ~100 rounds a year. First of every month the clip in the gun (7 rounds) and the chambered round (8 total) get replaced with new out of box, ammo that was in the clip in the gun now goes to the reload...

    The Best Gun Fail incidents.

    Re: The Best Gun Fail incidents. To think how many of these could have been avoided if people were following one of the most important firearm rules - keep your f*cking finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot. BTW- I'm pretty sure that little kid (5:08) killed his dad. That round...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why not ccw with hand loads

    Re: Why not ccw with hand loads Its not illegal to use hand loads, however if you were put on trial to challenge the validity of your self defense shooting, the D.A. could claim you purposely manufactured ammo to be more powerful and do more damage. On the same line, if the (now dead)...
