    Short is Smart - SHR Test Build 18" 260

    Re: Short is Smart - SHR Test Build 18" 260 I love the idea of a short barrel .260 and will have a 20"er by the end of the month. I do, however, believe that a loss of 10fps per inch of barrel is a little optimistic for every barrel. Most will probably be around 15-20fps per inch.

    Gunsmithing Big bullet jump - throat damage?

    Re: Big bullet jump - throat damage? Length of brass is long so bolt closure is tight (i.e., crush fit). Head space is fine. This is a new gun.

    Gunsmithing Big bullet jump - throat damage?

    I'm fireforming some loads for a new ackley improved. The rounds are loaded very short, and the throat is very long. Jump will be at least 0.1". Is there a greater risk of damaging the lands from a bigger jump? I could care less about accuracy from these loads and doubt that I'll even set...

    Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky

    Re: Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky Is this thread about what the military should do, or what the shooters in this forum should do? I thought the latter. I could careless what the military does...they can't even get the caliber right.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunter cited bear killed in front of wildlife view

    Re: Hunter cited bear killed in front of wildlife view I probably would not have shot had I known that people were observing/taking pictures of the critter, but I see nothing wrong with someone else doing it. Very funny and would have loved to see the expression of onlookers ----> "the...

    Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky

    Re: Todays Rifles are to Heavy and Bulky I agree; 99% of the guns on this website are too heavy. The stock and the barrel are were most of the weight can be saved. Give me a McMillian edge HTG w/ a 20" light palma barrel chambered in anything other than .308.

    Range Report 223 80VLD RANGE REPORT savage 10fp BENCH MADE

    Re: 223 80VLD RANGE REPORT 31" Bartlien 1-7" twist. COAL w/ the 80s is 2.550" Smooth load of 25.6g N550 - 2,900 fps. Given my past near blowup, I didn't try to go faster but they obviously will. 90s are too slow and will never beat the 80s at any reasonable range.
