    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Thread Size

    The clamp on are threaded before they are tightened. No much tension is needed and easily removable for cleaning and will index perfectly no matter how many times is taken off. And they will not walk/move. This is a fact not an opinion. However based on the thin barrel contour here there is a...

    Range Report New 30cal magnum?

    So I could not find a picture of the 300 RAM (Remington American Magnum) variant but I think it would look something like the first one from the right. This will give me a bit more than the Dakota chamber and it feels the best balance between powder capacity and effective COAL. Water capacity...

    Range Report New 30cal magnum?

    According to QL the RAM variant will do 2950fps with the 230gr. berger hybrid. That puts the round in the same bulk park as the 300 Norma but with a tad less powder and standard bolts and actions. The Dakota with extra freebore is a tad behind just like the 300/375 but both require special work...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Thread Size

    What others said there is no need to put tension on the extension and also indexes perfectly and easily and will never move. That is how the AIs and other top performers are delivered.

    Range Report New 30cal magnum?

    A few days ago I did post about this very same subject on this 300 norma thread... http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/sniper-hide-gunsmithing/252699-300-norma-vs-300-hulk.html#post3136462 Interesting that some folks who want to upgrade the WM are realizing the potential of some casings in std...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Thread Size

    5/8 will be fine and it is more meat around the crown that is a critical area to accuracy (crown swelling) Might want to consider this: A brake that also clamps that are some of the best anyway. (AI, badger). Or find a collar or washer that fits the .075 difference tightly that is more than...

    equipment vs. skill

    When the old and wise Morihei Ueshiba (The founder of Aikido martial Art) was asked how he could do the techniques he did and how did it feel to be such a great master at that old age he replied.... I am just another practitioner just like the others, I am still learning every day. The day I...

    Gunsmithing 300 norma vs 300 hulk

    He doesn't explain his other rifles but anyone would be lucky getting anywhere close to 2800 with a long freebore version. In any case if you run the rough numbers you will see it is not to far behind with the 230gr tactical berger. This is the reason I am looking into the RAM. I wish Winchester...

    LOL! He was missing some basic ingredients, patience, intelligence and speed. These ones will not knock you out but spill your guts all over.

    equipment vs. skill

    There is no substitute for common sense and just being practical and honest to oneself. Even out of the box equipment these days is expected to produce some reasonable results. There are budget options to learn and hopefully learn from the best that then can be applied later. What people do not...

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    This chart is nothing but a ratio and it has no scientific basis. Also the case volume depends on the length of the case so one could increase the ratio w/o changing the bore and we know many straight or close to straight cases do not particularly torch the barrel no matter how long or short...

    Gunsmithing 300 norma vs 300 hulk

    I was able to find the article about the 300 Norma Magnum. This was in the Sniper(Shooting times) edition from June 2012. Page 74. The author Tod Hodnett talks about the new round and a new rifle he ordered from Preston Pritchett at Surgeon rifles. The rifle is a surgeon with an eight twist...

    Yes there are many ways to skin a cat. But forms work up to a level. Then better use primitives and scale logic. So if you do simple abstraction no matter what multiplication of division the method works with anything. My daugther is doing multiple digit multiplications w/o a paper since she...

    Pure simple logic is hardwired. this is the way I explained things like this to my kids. Some might find useful, specially those with the 2nd focal plane! lol. Of course one needs to be able to multiply by 10 (add one zero) or one will be screwed. LOL
