    Blackberry Cobbler

    Went and picked the blackberries this morning before the sun got up to far. Fresh Blackberry cobbler, just add a big ole scoop of ice cream and enjoy.

    Did a little polishing on my 452 bolt.

    I did a little polishing on my Bolt and Firing Pin today. The bolt must be chrome plated because it was a little harder to polish than the firing pin. It sure made a difference, it glides like it is on bearings now.

    My 452 Varmint changes

    I been tinkering with my 452 Varmint and made some changes that I hope will improve accuracy. I shot it the other day without the barrel screw and it seemed to improve accuracy and make it group more consistently. I figured that if I install a pillar and bed the action it might help just a bit...

    Just wondering

    I was wondering if anyone had taken a CZ 452 Varmint and modified it to have 2 action screws and free floated the barrel. I was thinking if you had two action screws, pillar bedded the action and floated the barrel it would help the accuracy. I may be totally wrong and it wouldn't be worth the...

    Good morning for load testing.

    I did some testing this morning with the 105gr. Berger VLD's. Great morning for shooting and I got my best group to date. The best group was shot with 42gr of Reloader 22, seated ten thousandths into the lands. The average speed was 2750fps. The other groups were loaded just touching the lands...

    Need a set of quality reloading dies.

    I have been reloading on a Rock Chucker II with Lee and RCBS dies for the last 20+ years. I've always wanted a Forster Co-Ax and recently purchased one. Now I need a quality set of dies to reload my .243 with. I have been reading about the Redding dies but have never used them. I don't know...

    .243 load development questions.

    Below is a target I shot at 100yds. Each group was 4 shots using two different loads seated at .005, .010, and .015" off the lands. The top 2 were seated .005" off the lands and were my best. The two middle targets were .010 off the lands and were my worse. The bottom two targets were .015 off...

    Gunsmithing Lifespan of a Gun Barrel

    This may have been posted before but I thought it was interesting. The Lifespan of a Gun Barrel Is about Six Seconds By John Farrier Sure, that Mosin-Nagant or SKS rifle in the back of your closet may date back to 1938, but the total time in which bullets have traveled down its bore is...

    Should I bed my rifle.

    I have a Remington SPS Tactical .223 and it has a B&C stock with the aluminum block in it. I was wondering if I bed it, would my groups shrink any. The barrel is free floating already. I am shooting reloads consisting of 69gr. SMK over 26gr. Varget. The target was shot this morning. All groups...

    .243 Win. load question

    I have been testing some loads for .243 with 95gr NBT and Varget. My best load was 3gr. over recommended max load. 35gr. is max load in the reloading manual and I am using 38gr. I know reloading manuals are conservative because of liability issues. There are no signs of too much pressure that I...

    .243 Winchester loads

    I picked up a Remington 700 in .243 this past weekend and need some load information. I was wondering if anyone used Varget for this round? Never owned a .243 and I was thinking of loading it with Varget and 95gr. NBT. Any info would be appreciated.
