    Picatinny base for CZ 452 American

    What's available and considered the best? I seen the DIP, which looks great, but I'm worried about the 6 set screws marring into the action.

    Question for backpacking/hiking/camping experts

    Hey fellows, I'm about to get pretty serious about backpacking and hiking with some camping thrown in. I need some advice on gear-primarily backpacks. I've been researching for a couple of days now and so far like the Kelty Redwing 3100 the most. My questions are: 1)Who are the top/best backpack...

    Swift Scirocco II bullets any good?

    I'm about to get a box of these (130 grain) to try this hunting season in my 6.5x47. Anyone have any experience or have heard good or bad about them. They look very nice and seem to be similar to the Nosler accubond. Thanks

    Vihtavuori N-570 for 338 Lapua

    I just got 2 lbs of N-570 from Powder Valley and all I can say is this is the worst handling powder I've ever dealt with. The kernels are too LARGE. I'm a big Vihtavuori fan (it's always been the most consistent from day to day for me), but I'm a little disappointed in the size of the kernels...

    Is Hodgdon powders single based?

    Specifically H4831sc, Varget, H1000, H4350 and Retumbo. I believe they are, but I'm not sure. Thanks

    Range Report Itouch BulletFlight questions?

    Can I change the yardage increments on the yardage scroll wheel under the Calculate Simple tab? It comes @ 25 yard increments which I believe is too much for any decent distance. Also, if I set the app. to consider spin drift, it does not ask length of bullet or twist of barrel--should it? Fwiw...

    Range Report Why density altitude?

    Is there an advantage or reason to use density altitude. I'm about to order a Kestrel and would rather order the 3500 to save considerably over the 4000 or 4500. The 3500 does baro. pressure, temp and humidity which is what density altitude is (a combination of these three), so why do I need it...

    Gunsmithing 8.5 twist too fast for 168 Berger vld in 7wsm?

    I am shooting the 180's now, but have some 168's too try. Am I wasting time? Can you overspin a bullet? Berger recommends 10 twist or faster for 168's and 9 twist or faster for 180's. Thanks

    Gunsmithing in need of a gunsmith-video included

    http://accurateshooter.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/shocking-video-of-catastrophic-barrel-failure/ I can't get over their attitudes afterwards. I'd be checking to see if I still had a nose instead of worrying about the animal.

    Gunsmithing barrel/action thread question?

    When I look into the actions on my custom guns w/ custom actions, why do I see threads, but on my stock rem 700's the barrels use all the threads. I know one of the +'s of custom actions is more barrel/action engagement, but it seems like some of this advantage is wasted when the barrel isn't...

    minimum # of loads for a ladder test?

    What would be considered a minimum # of loads to properly do a ladder test. I have a gap 7wsm that shoots great (less than 1/2 moa) with 63g H4831sc and 180 bergers. I found this load shooting various groups around what George Gardner told me was a good load (62.5g H4831sc 180 bergers). I have...

    Berger hunting vld's 6.5mm 130's and 7mm 180's?

    Will someone please let me know if they see any of these anywhere? Berger supposedly just finished a run of the 180's and will run the 130's this week or next. Thanks

    Gunsmithing BAT action screw holes not aligned w/ AI stock

    I finally received my (remington footprint) BAT short repeater action today for my 6.5x47 build. I dropped it into my AI stock and both the action screws for the stock were roughly 1/8 of an inch too far to the rear of the stock. Is this common? Will all Dave and Jared (APA) have to do is mill...

    7mm 180jlk-need ogive to tip measurement

    Could someone with some of the 7mm 180 jlk's (swampworks) measure a few of them from the ogive to the tip and reply. I'm about to order some of their 6.5 and 7 bullets, but need to know how much longer (ogive to tip) the 7mm 180 is vs. the 180 berger. I may not be able to magazine the jlk's. Thanks

    6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet

    As much as I'd love to shoot the 140's, I'm reading this case is not designed for them. I have it narrowed down to the 130 Berger hunting vld, the 123 Scenar or the 130 Swampworks. I have experience with Bergers (7wsm-180 hunting vld) and love it, so I'm leaning that way, but the 123 scenar...
