    All day carry

    I do inside the waist band smith 64 . Double loop 15 degree forward Kant and it is quite comfy. I had to put wooden grips on so my shirt doesn't snag though

    Another LE killing

    I don't know why they are treating the wounded suspect. Kill him and send a message.

    Subsonic accuracy

    Yeah it's kind of like jumbo shrimp. I basically set up the rifle on the bipod and bags and move close enough to the rifle that I am pre loading let bipod off the bench. So my shoulder is firm on the butt but I am relaxed. Easiest way i can think of to ensure consistant shoulder pressure...

    Subsonic accuracy

    Marine pmi - the time of bullet in bore is very similar to my 22 lr target gun. It shoots sub sonic eley and has a similar barrel length. So follow through is very important like you said. I have been trying different holds on the gun and there are two that really shine vs the others. The first...

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    The rifle really blowing up like you explained points like many others have said to a bore obstruction. I had my savage 338 Lapua give me trouble clambering a round first shot out of the barrel. Checked bore and there was a patch in the throat from when I cleaned it. Also I would think the...

    Subsonic accuracy

    Lil gun, h110, 1680, 2400, bullseye. Trailboss is an interesting choice. What are your velocities ? Bullet choice? Platform?

    Subsonic accuracy

    I have seen the lehigh defense bullets and they are interesting. I have some lead bullets I am going to try. Then I am all out of ideas. The barrel is longer to test out a theory that velocity can be controlled better with a longer barrel and higher charges. The idea is the powder is...

    Subsonic accuracy

    I wonder if a wad cutter would work? Maybe something like the woodleigh hydrostatics line. Some Barnes bullets and my lathe might be in order. I did go to the range Friday and sucked it up! Best was just over an inch worst was over two. With the blackout. The 458socom did better right at the...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    Accuracy should not be affected . Your load may need to be tuned to the shorter barrel length. The set up was built by the gentleman I bought my lathe from. He had a milling rotary table where the gearing crapped out. He build new bearings for it ,ditched the base and it is now a "chuck...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    Sorry I should clarify. My steady rest is a small 6" rotary table that was modified by an old timer to act like a second headstock kind of . Think instead of steady rest more like a chuck on an three way adjustable base with bearings so it rotates with the work. Up and down, left right ( for...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    I did something similar with a Mauser I just got done with. I put the action in the chuck and used a steady rest on the muzzle end. Dialed off the bor and cut away. I kept the rpm really slow . Went slow and light cuts . No issues I could see or tell shooting. Good luck

    Subsonic accuracy

    I am going to head to the range Friday and shoot the latest loads and let you know how it goes. Going to put bullets into the rifling and see if that will help. Later

    Gunsmithing Head Spacing a 243AI

    I use pacific tool and gauge all the time. Just bought 22k hornet and 5.7 reamers with matching gauges. I think they were 27 plus shipping

    Gunsmithing Head Spacing a 243AI

    http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?55807-243-AI-headspace This is the reason the last three ai rifle I built I used a set of gauges from the reamer maker. Easier and the duplicity does not bug me. With standard cartridges I use the technique mentioned above with a feeler gauge. More of a why...

    Subsonic accuracy

    I have been working very hard with 300 blackout savage bolt gun over the last year to wring all the accuracy I can out of* this little cartridge. I have had decent luck with supersonic loads averaging between .25- .35 for five shots when using high end bullets and .3-.4 with standard off the...
