    Vudoo closed the doors…

    Yeah, this whole IP address thing has become a pita. Every time I get a new DHCP address on my internet connection (such as when my laptop restarts or, sometimes, if I simply start a new browser session), I get an email forcing me to confirm it's really me. Again. This may because I have my...

    Vudoo closed the doors…

    BOAT: acronym Bust Out Another Thousand. For me, the boat was just the thing that pulled me on a slalom ski back in the '60s. The teens around the lake were all proficient skiers; 13-15-year-olds driving power boats pulling skiers was perfectly normal. I was really proud when I was able to take...

    Vudoo closed the doors…

    Ok, all y'all central NC characters... We got a new name for @Rob01 . I'm off to the attic to see if any toy tractors might be found to leave in Rob's range bag or on his dashboard....

    Ideas for Repurposing a 300 PRC

    Why did ELR involvement wane? If it was recoil, then I would wonder about the brake. I have a buddy who is just starting ELR with a rifle somewhat similar to your friend's, chambered in .300 Ackley Improved* which is ballistically very close to .300 PRC. I think the brake on it is an APA Fat...

    With all the shit going on in our society today, the last several dozen posts to this thread have shown a tiny seedling of decency growing in a moral hellscape. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7

    Mike, am I correct in understanding you refer here to the never-released successor to the "original" 15-rounder? Just curious. I have two of the originals, and they run flawlessly in my 1st-gen V22 in an MPA BA Comp chassis, as long as I jump down/turn around/touch my toes/utter magic...

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    There is some truth here. But OP has a far greater issue: 1.5 MOA is the best he's getting at 100 yards. Any half-decent bolt gun should shoot .6-.7MOA 5-shot groups with Hornady or Federal factory match (or even "Black" or "American Gunner" value ammo in the Hornady line). Handloading is not...

    One eye

    You'll have to experiment and find what works best. Just let the journey happen and accept that you will likely change your mind as you try different things. This is especially true if you compete in events with short par times. I'm in my 70s and had cataract surgery years ago, so I have very...

    And I'm glad to see it, as you are seeming to have fun again, as I mentally wave a big red "DON'T BURN OUT" flag at you. When you went quiet on the original V22 forum, I was concerned. Now I understand, and a lot of things on which I speculated turned out to have occurred, per your recounting...

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    Nobody has asked, "What ammunition have you tried?" I'm thinking about the guy at my "home club" who had a shiny new CZ 457 MTR .22 and asked me if I could help him (I was zeroing my Vudoo after an optic change). "I thought these things were supposed to be accurate," said he. "I can't get...

    Brass Work Hardening Analysis by Alpha Munitions

    I shoot with a guy that may have more toys than Santa Claus. The Prometheus scale, a tool used to cut single kernels of powder (he's a reformed F-class guy), and every time I turn around he's got a new... something. All manner of calibers; just got into ELR with a .300 Ackley Improved he bought...

    Brass Work Hardening Analysis by Alpha Munitions

    In absolute terms, @straightshooter1 's un-annealed versus annealed brass raw percentage difference numbers are pretty striking. At 100 yards, SS's data shows a 47+ percent increase in group size in un-annealed brass (.34 * 1.48 = .503) SD of un-annealed brass increased 76 percent (9.6 * 1.76...

    Use CAUTION after ultrasonic brake cleaning

    Buzzing three brakes in my ultrasonic cleaner for 90 minutes removed most of the carbon, but there was still a bit of it in tightest angles of the ports. I had one of the brakes on my 6BR this past weekend, first time out since cleaning. One of my buddies was standing about six feet to my left...

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    Please post back with your results - I'm interested for sure. My feed failures with the extended magazine are frequent enough that I wouldn't even think about running the rifle in a match with "normal" par times. I did use it in a little monthly match series in 2023 which had long par times...

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    It's the original bolt face... although my point stands. I suspect that the original spring isn't quite strong enough for the height/weight of the additional cartridges.

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    Try taking the extensions off, assuming you have the original floor plates. I only experience feeding problems with my RimX with the Zermatt 5-round extension in place on one magazine, and it can happen anywhere in the cartridge stack. The round pops off the stack in front of the extractor and...

    PRS Talk Binos

    tl;dr: For .22 matches (at least the ones I shoot), if I was starting from scratch, I'd buy a pair of decent 10x42 binos for $300-500 and be done. Light, compact, no tripod needed. ------- For the rimfire PRS-style matches I've shot, my decades-old cheapie Nikon 10x50s are just right. For NRL22...

    Muzzle brake or suppressor for 300 WM?

    I hate to rain on your parade, but I think you're making a huge mistake thinking your rifle is in any way suitable for "general use," "training and fun." Putting a 20" .300 WM hunting rifle into the role you describe is, in my mind, like buying a Ford F350 dualie to learn to drive and cruise the...

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll keep the -400s for .223. Trying them in 6BR seemed like a "thing to try" last night; glad I checked in here first. I've got enough -450s for a couple of years. I've just got even more -400s....

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    My supply of -450s is depleting much faster than -400s. Does anyone have good data on 400s in 6BR (or similar) using stick powders in warm weather? I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens, but would welcome input from the community.
