    Anybody know where a civilian can get a copy of FM 3-22.10? Or is it a controlled document?

    using a laser for diagnosis

    I'm looking for a decent laser that will mount on many different firearms and live for a while. Cheap is OK, as it doesn't really have to hold zero well or even adjust well. I want it to mount up to illustrate NPA, breathing, etc and to diagnose anticipating a shot and poor trigger control...

    Suppressors tape on a brake

    If a person wrapped tape around a muzzle brake to cut down on blast when hunting, did they manufacture a suppressor? How do the brakes that can be closed fare in this? I was just noticing how much some brakes and monolithic cans are similar.

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 trigger issues.

    I've worked over a few 700 triggers and never had to do anything except scrape the goo off and tweak the screws to get a 2.5 to 3lb trigger that was smooth with little to no creep and broke like the over-used proverbial glass rod. Not this one. It has faught me the whole way. With 1/3rd to 1/2...

    Show me some SVD groups

    I have heard everything from 2moa to .5moa. How do the Dragunov SVD rifles shoot? Anybody shot some tight ones with a Tiger? Help me justify my itch.

    Photos Stockwork for my step son's savage MKII

    He shoots his Savage in the NRA YHEC program. The factory stock has WAY too much drop even for the iron sights. This should fix it. Still looking for ideas on stock finish. Probably will go with some opaque texture paint from the pistol grip to the swell on the forend to cover the old bolt notch...

    Range Report .300 Whisper/ 300-221/etc ballistics

    Can anyone share actual drop charts for a whisper or 300-221 with the heavy, high BC bullets like the 220-240SMKs? I want to compare what the calculators say to what people are getting in real life before I spend the $$$ on a whisper.

    Good pocket calculator?

    This seems like a strange question, but... All of the pocket calculators I have seen or owned leave a lot to be desired for hard use. It seems like a pocket calculator with a rugged waterproof shell and a display that can be read in low or no light would be a good idea. Ever see one like that?

    Suppressors Shooting handguns in low light - night sights?

    All of the ranges near me close at dusk, so I cannot try this for myself. The best I can do is turn out the lights in the house and try to see my current sights - which I can't. Is there a real benefit to having night sights on a pistol for defensive purposes? Can you actually line up the...

    Advanced Marksmanship different sitting positions

    Most shooters that shoot sitting, unsupported shoot with the crossed ankle or crossed leg position. I assume this is because they are confined to these positions due to rules? It seems like there are better sitting positions, especially for a heavy tactical rifle, than these. I was messing...

    Powder measure baffles

    Do you use a powder baffle in your powder measure hopper? Do you think it helps? Is it sitting in the bottom of the hopper or wedged somewhere higher?

    possible Rem 5R / HS Stock problem

    I have noticed that my Rem 700 5R Milspec .308 shoots absolutely great right after I put the action back in the stock and torque it (65inlb), but the groups start to open up pretty quickly (less than 50rds) to over an inch. It has tightened right back up when I remove it from the stock to clean...

    How far are you jumping to lands?

    My best load is jumping a 175SMK right at .170" to lands. Anybody else jumping like that and shooting good anyway? What bullet?

    Remington E-Tronics

    What is the story on the Remington E-tronics rifles? I've found very little on the net about them. I'm googling the primers now.

    Ballistic Tip Removal

    I've been trying to find a way to seat bullets closer to the rifling in my .308 Remington 700 5R, since the poly tipped hunting bullets I've tried do not shoot as well as the match bullets and the biggest difference I can find in the bullets is that the hunting bullets have longer noses due to...

    Photos Not a fluke

    Here are a couple more good groups today. I was shooting it hot some, trying less case sizing, and shooting a different bullet, the 180gr SGK - which is the group that is low and left of the center aiming point. Rifle is working well - now to find a HUNTING bullet that it likes. It is absolutely...
