    7mm RSAUM

    Anyone have any load data for this round using RL17 and Horn 162 Amax? From what I am finding, it looks like if I start working up rounds around 54 grains that I should be ok, but others experience would be helpful. Thanks.

    Barrel Source

    Can ya'll give me some resources for aftermarket stainless steel barrels for a Remington 597, preferably that offers them threaded. I didn't turn up much with an internet search. Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Trigger installation

    I tried installing a Timney model 510 on a Surgeon 591 action with Badger M5 bottom metal and found out that when I tried to put it all together that the pin that the safety switch rotates on blocks the action from resting down on the stock. Has anyone else had this issue? I have never had...

    Gunsmithing Stuck trigger pins

    I am trying to install a trigger in a Surgeon 591 action and the 2 pins that hold the trigger in will not punch out. I have never had this issue before with other actions. Is there something unique about the Surgeon 591 action or am I just lucky and have 2 stuck pins? Thanks.

    trigger and bottom metal

    Will the Timney 510 trigger (standard trigger with safety for the Rem 700) fit through Badger M5 bottom metal? My concern is that the trigger shoe is too wide for the opening of the bottom metal. Thanks.

    Truck Bedliners

    I'm guessing there are a few of you on this site such as myself that drive a truck. Up to this point I have always had drop-in bedliners, but I am thinking about going with a spray in this time. Been doing a little research and Line-X seems the route to go. Anyone have any experience with...

    I can't seem to get this to come up in a search, but what is the best iphone ballistics app? I have an Android based phone and use Shooter, but my buddy needs a program for the iphone. Thanks.

    Where to get a Garand?

    I have been looking at some of the local Garand matches and thinking about starting to shoot in some of them. What is a good source to pick up a Garand? Just look for them on the gun sale sites like GunBroker, or go the route of CMP or even something else? Thanks.

    Suppressors Thread count for Silencerco Osprey

    I have searched and cannot find the thread count for the Silencerco Osprey 45. They don't have it listed on their website, at least not that I saw. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks.

    Decent propane nozzle for annealing

    This may seem like an odd question, but after annealing and fighting with the poor quality nozzles in the Worthington propane kits, does anyone have a recommendation of a better nozzle that they use that has a 1/2" diameter? The cheap ones are just so hit or miss with the quality it seems.

    Badger Action

    I've read a lot of the posts about this action, including the current pissing match about it vs. the AI. In short, it seems like a good action and most of the issues, which seem to be miniscule appear to be related to the Gen I and corrected with the Gen II. At this time, I am between this...

    Body die

    I have been reading up on the Redding body dies for a couple of weeks here and there now and don't know that I understand the full utility of this die or what the ultimate goal of using it is. I understand that you are sizing the shoulder and the body and not the neck. It seems that the...

    WSM detachable bottom metal

    After some searching through old posts and researching around other sites, it seems there is not a clear concensus on how to go about running bottom metal in a WSM rifle. I am trying to work out all the details for a 7mm WSM and this bottom metal thing seems to be the last hang up. Bottom...

    annealing and neck cleanliness

    How clean do the inside of the necks have to be to anneal? Or does it not matter? I tumble in walnut until shinny, blow off with an air hose to remove loose residue and generally reload. I have considered running a nylon cleaning brush through the neck as well, but this is not part of my...

    Barrel suppliers

    Who are the companies out there that stock quality barrels? Midway Bruno's Accuracy One Grizzly Ind. Anybody else? I'm trying to track down a 6.5 1 in 8 twist MTU or similar contour. Nothing less than .900 at the muzzle, preferably a shade larger. Thanks for the help.

    Gunsmithing Timney trigger rubbing trigger guard

    I have just picked up a Timney for the Rem 700. I have been shooting Jewells which have the narrow shoe. The timney on the other hand is much wider, even to the point that it is hitting the trigger guard. I have seen this with the Badger M5 bottom metal and standard Rem bottom metal. It...

    Gunsmithing Trigger causing bolt to stick?

    I was running a geiselle trigger in a LR 308 a while back and having issues with it. I finally gave up on it when it caused the bolt to lock up with a live round chambered. The hammer dropped and nothing happened except it locked the bolt in. I had to take a rubber hammer to the charging...

    Range Report 240 SMK and 1 in 10" twist barrel

    Review of the Sierra manual suggests that the 240 SMK requires a 1 in 9" twist to stablize. A call to the guys at Sierra confirmed this. I figured, what the heck, let me see if a Sendero chambered in 300 RUM with the standard 1 in 10" twist will stablize it. Sure enough, it did. My groupings...
