This came up in another thread and I thought that I would follow @supercorndogs suggestion of breaking it out. I am going to approach this as a novice, even though I have some experience. Which powders/calibers seem to create a carbon ring? Where does this occour in the barrel? How do we...

I know that this is a long shot. I have a Remington 660 that was custom built during the early ‘80’s using a fiberglass stock for a 700 Short Action. I really like everything about it except for how the grip sits (too far back) and am looking for a new composite stock and BDL/Obendorf bottom...

A little background. I have been competing in NRA Lever Action Small Bore Silhouette for about 20 years. Currently, I am ranked as an AA class shooter working on my second or third leg to AAA. My rifle is a 1920’s vintage Marlin 39 (not 39A) with a Marbles Tang sight. My go to ammo has been...

Good evening all, I am starting to dip my toes into a higher level of precision shooting coming from a hunting and action shooting background. The majority of my rifles are traditional sporter/hunting stocks except for my heavy 22-250 built in the ‘80’s from an Argentine Mauser. I already have...

I just spent a fair bit of time and components on trying to develop a load for my deer/hunter silhouette rifle. Since we have a hunt coming up in a lead free area, I am using Barnes TTSX 7mm bullets in my 7mm-08. Took the Barnes book and started with their accuracy load since I already had...

I just ran a ladder test last weekend with two different rifles and am seeing something odd. Rifle #1: Sporterized Mauser '98, 308 Win, IMI barrel, Timiney trigger and a Leupold 3x9-40mm VXII Load: R-P Brass (third loading), Win LR Primer, Barnes 150 gr. TTSX, and Varget Rifle #2: Custom Sako...

I am hitting a quandary, I have two rifles in the same caliber, one with a SAMMI Minimum chamber and one with a generous but still in spec. chamber. Is it better to re-size ALL of my brass for the tight chamber? Or should I get separate sizing dies for each rifle? At the moment, I am full...
