    Suppressors Franklin Armory Reformation and Slug Guns

    So I just finished reading an article on the Reformation from FA- an 11.5" 300BO with binary trigger and full stock... being sold without NFA Paperwork. Per the 27 CFR 479.11 and 26 USC 5845, a "rifle" has to have a "rifled bore". The Reformation does not have rifling- the lands and grooves in...

    How to deal with lot variations?

    For match grade 22lr ammo I have always had this question- how do the serious benchresters and hyper-accuracy guys buy ammo? My understanding is everyone needs to test a series "lots" and types. Then buy a shit-ton of whatever works in your rifle/barrel. Sounds good, but how do you buy a...

    Hide vendors selling CZ453 parts?

    Well I bought an AWC Ultra II on a CZ 453 action a while back and am waiting on the form 4 paperwork to go through. I am wanting to replace some parts. Does anyone know of a Hide vendor that sells these parts? - Rifle Basix trigger (any other options?) - 10rd magazines - Canted picatinny...

    Jose Canseco's New Year's Resolutions

    This guy is a new level of batshit crazy. If anyone is working on a study about the effects of steroids on mental capacity, I think you can stop, haha. http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/jos-cansecos-insane-new-years-resolutions

    Black Hills splitting after 1x firing?

    So I bought 400rds of .308win 175gr Black Hills (red box with red primer sealant) a few months ago. I shot all 400rds through my DTA SRS and have just gotten to processing the brass for my load development. I tumbled them all in SS media, took 50 cases and resized them, trimmed them, and...

    Range Report .224 90gr SMK higher BC when slower?

    I was perusing the bullet options for a .223 build and while on Sierra's website I noticed something odd. For some reason the BC over 2200fps is listed at .504 while from 1900-2200fps the BC is listed at .511. Is that possible or is it a misprint? I was working under the impression that the...

    Intek Evolution vs. True Nutrition

    I've been on Intek for about two years now and it's been great. I'm stronger than I've ever been, it tastes great, I feel great, etc. However the price has gotten ridiculous ($77/5lb tub). A little more about me- I'm 6'0", 250lbs (going down) with a lot of muscle but also fat to be honest. I...

    Hunting & Fishing Safari Questions

    Well the plan has been laid to go on Safari to South Africa next year around June/July and had a couple of questions. 1- I plan on taking my 308 that I am comfortable with. I do not intend on shooting any thick skinned animal due to the facts that I don't want to buy a rifle for it ($$) and...

    My 308's a shooter! Me.... not so much

    Well I finally got to the range with my 308 and new S&B (I've had the 308 for a while). This trip has me both excited (great groups) and ashamed (you'll see). I don't have any action pics from the range as I forgot my phone so I apologize for that and the crappy cell phone pictures: My Rifle...

    F T/R Competition Question for you guys....

    I was at the range yesterday talking to one of the regulars about optics, rings, etc. He's interested in getting a NF BR for his 7mm STW for 500+ yds. After letting him look through my 8-32x56 he was amazed but was still hesitant as "the tube is 30mm and they don't make offset rings/shims for...

    True Dedication...

    http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/201...-job-assignment What amazed me first off is that a guy is willing to cripple himself so he doesn't have to go to work. Granted I'm not sure what jobs the Austrian unemployment office found for him (do they still have Castrati in their Operas?), but...

    MV Published vs. Actual

    I posted a range report in the ballistics section for my new CED M2, but figured this part would be interesting to some here: ----------RESULTS---------- Ammo: SK Standard Plus 22LR 40gr 1050fps published Rifle: 10/22 TacSol 16” Bull Barrel, 1/16 twist Results: High- 1041fps Low- 973.1fps...

    Range Report CED M2 with 10/22, AR15, and R700

    So I woke up today and figured it is time to pop the Chronograph cherry. I made some purchases last night (Shooter App, reloading supplies, etc.) and thought I had better get some use (and data) from my new CED M2. This was the first time I had used this as it was a Christmas gift from...

    300 Wby Mag crushed shoulder

    I'm trying to reload some 300Wby Mag to do a ladder test and when seating the bullet, the case is getting crushed. When trying to seat the bullet the case neck telescopes into the shoulder considerably. It should be noted, the bullet does NOT seat into the case at all. Upon removal, I can...

    Suppressors AWC Ultra II

    So I'm pretty much set on a AWC Ultra II in CZ452. I have researched the crap out of AWC, CZ452, the Ultra II, and integral suppressors in general. I've watched ton of videos on how quiet they are, BUT I haven't seen a video comparing the sound of a bolt action integrally suppressed firing and...

    weatherby 300 mag and COAL

    So my dad has an elk gun in 300wby mag and I figured I would reload some shells for him. However when I use my Hornady OAL gage (sliding plunged forward gently until the bullet touches the lands) I get a COAL of 3.860" with the bullet barely inserted into the case. From reading here it seems a...
