    Gunsmithing .223 Ackley chambers?

    Hello all, I would be grateful for some guidance- I have a Stiller Tac-30 action, Krieger 8-twist barrel, PTG reamer and "go" gauge, all in readiness for a .223 Ackley Improved build. I have heard from various sources that the chamber should perhaps be cut .003 to .004 below normal headspace to...

    Hello fellow rifle cranks! Have a new AICS stock for a rifle I'm slowly completing. Am going to make my own spigot adapted to the Atlas clamp mount. Would any of you care to help me with dimension of the spigot? I would love to know the length, diameter, and distance from the end at which...

    Pac-Man loses to Bradly!?!

    Wow! Talk about an unexpected outcome! Yes, Manny looked like he was cruising a little, but I can't believe the judges were actually watching the fight. Got to hand it to Manny, he accepted the surprising decision like a gentleman and man of faith. So, anybody else watch the fight? Cheers...

    Righty tighty...

    Attended a class some weekends ago. We actually did very little shooting, as the weather was poor, and there was much classroom info to cover. In fact, I fired only 14 rounds. The first five were flown over the chrono with no target. The second five were fired at 100 yards to check zero, and...

    Advanced Marksmanship Gunsite PR7 quick review

    Hello all- Just back from a week at Gunsite with my lovely bride. Actually, it was she who announced that we needed to take a rifle class together this year, and we certainly got more than our money's worth over seven busy days. Instruction was absolutely top tier. We started out with a...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting glasses???

    Guys, I'm struggling with a problem. It's about the use of safety / shooting glasses while driving precision rifles. I'm pretty adamant about their use, yet, I find them a real handicap. My daily wear corrective glasses put the frame right in the field of view, so I have adjusted the diopter...

    Pathetic "what should I build?" question

    Here's the deal - just picked up a late '60s, early '70s Rem 700 ADL in .270. I was really looking for a short action for a 6.5 Creedmoor build, but couldn't turn this down at the price. I will probably try tackling this myself, as I have a big lathe, and good gunsmithing skills; I've just...

    173 grain M118 bullets...

    Was cleaning out my bench recently, and discovered a small lot of DCM 173 grain M118 bullets. Anyone have a proven .308 load using AA2520, IMR 3031 or Varget? Given the current scarcity of components, I'd like to shorten the load development process. Thanks in advance! Jim
