    Bullet Buying Tips

    FWIW, powdervalley has always shipped me the same lots of powder and bullets when ordering singles or hundred count boxes in bulk. OP, sorry about your experience, that sucks. I usually buy bullets in bulk to avoid surprises. Typically, when I put on a new bbl, I try to buy about as many...

    Reloading startup recommendations

    Oh, and every reloader needs Imperial sizing wax at their bench

    Reloading startup recommendations

    •RCBS Rockchucker or Redding Big Boss. They will allow you to load up to normal size magnum calibers, are high quality, have a solid reputation, and won't need upgrading in the future. Not the cheapest, but probably one of the best values. •Digital calibers. Nothing fancy is needed. RCBS...

    Extreme spread.

    How many shots are you using to determine your SD and ES? As I interpret your post, your SD is 12 and ES is 20. I'm assuming the 7.5 and 12 is data from a fewer number of shots. Is this correct? I would shoot at least 10 rounds, but 15 or 20 is much better. If your numbers are still 12/20...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How much would you pay for a custom 1911?

    @sirhrmechanic Sir, you have my wheels spinning about building my own...Very Nice Work! I've really become a fan of the officer size models. Now where's that Brownell's catalog :D:)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How much would you pay for a custom 1911?

    I have many high-end 1911's, including Les Baer, two Ed Brown's, a Ted Yost, and a couple others put together by local smiths. I've also owned one Wilson Combat. For my money the best custom or semi custom is Ed Brown. They function better or as well than all the rest IME, are just as...

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    First, props for helping your friend. Second, I think you have a great rifle, even if it's not exactly what you were expecting. The tikka is a great platform. The thin barrel will obviously heat up much faster than a heavier barrel, but there are things you can do to help. Shooting...

    Help me transform my LRI Mausingfield from a PRS into Hunting rifle w/o losing my shirt

    Here's my 2 am take; You already have one perfect and very expensive rifle perectly suited for PRS, something you express an interest in. Leave it alone, it's already perfect. If you want a lighter weight hunting rifle, as stated above, buy a Tikka.

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Lowlight, Thanks for that, I wrote my above post before I read yours. I guess that is what I was missing, a TL3 long action cannot move from a 243 class to a 338 magnum class, i was misinformed. Good to know the truth now. edit: sorry, I didn't catch that first part. On first read I thought...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Let's say you buy a small piece from LRI, maybe something for an RPR. You get it and it leaves your gun not working, mind you the piece is not defective, it just doesn't work, even though Chad assured you it would. Now, who in their right mind would then buy a full rifle of his design. That...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Well I watched the videos online and read the info on his website. I don't see anything special here. I see a gun that requires an extra $100 for every barrel, a piece that can only be purchased through Tubb. Proprietary magazines, only available through Tubb for how much? And a jack of all...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    So, what will the Tubb gun do the gun above won't? It's a simple question that you've refused to answer, nor did you address any other points I made. You just call names and make stupid comments. In my opinion, it's a way overpriced tifle from a man who has sold me products in the past that...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Seen the gun? Only pics on the internet Will the sub 4 grand rifle do half or more as the Tubb? Yes, pretty much everything, was an apples to apples comparison. And what you call specialty features, I call solutions to non-existent problems which require you to buy additional parts from DT with...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    I purchased three items from him, but yes, one product line, two SA's and a LA. However, he individually sells the lightweight firing pin and high speed spring. They didn't work, everyone on this forum said they had the same experiences, he continues to sell them, so i said, "huh, $300 down...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Maybe, not really sure, I'll let you decide. Here is what i know. I sent him more than $300 for new speedlock systems and what I got was nicely machined and of the highest quality, it just didn't work worth a damn, accuracy seriously suffered. I also know, from this website, that many others had...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Nope, but I sure outshoot them :) Edit: FWIW I just penciled out what it would cost to build the highest end rifle I could dream of using my gunsmith, who has also set a number of world records (BR), and it was still under $4000 with brake, rings, and an Atlas. I'm just not sure what the extra...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    Seven thousand dollars for just a rifle, you've got to be joking. Looks like everything else I've ever seen from David Tubb, way overpriced!!! FWIW, everything I've ever purchased from DT has been a massive disappointment. I hear that name and walk in the opposite direction. YMMV
