    Gunsmithing Looking for a smith to rethread a barrel

    I'm looking to have my Desert Tactical SRS 308 barrel rethreaded from 3/4x24 to 5/8x24 to accept a muzzle device to attach a suppressor. No one seems to make any for that thread pitch for this can. Any recommendations on someone that can get this perfect, straight and safe?

    Suppressors Swappable Supressor for the DTA SRS

    I'd like a supressor that I can use on my .308 SRS barrel (which is threaded 3/4 x 24) that I can also use on my AR-15s (threaded 1/2 x 28) for 55.6 and 300 whisper. I can't for the life of me find any company that makes a 7.62 can and 2 adapters that would make this work. I'd rather not have...

    Tightening up my .243

    I have a .243 that I use for Whitetail hunting. It's a browning X-Bolt and I really like the way the rifle shoots. However, they only offer it in 1:10 twist. I've had a ton of trouble getting antyhing heavier than 85gr to stabilize and give me good accuracy in. I guess they had this rifle...

    How accurate is QuickLoad?

    I'm looking to pick up QuickLoad. I like the demo and I want to try and save some money on working up some loads. Is that a realistic goal for Quickload? Also, how accurate is the program at predicting muzzle velocity? Within the same margin of error as a chrono? We haven't had direct...

    Temp Sensitivy Question

    This might be a really dumb question. If so I appologize. I searched and didn't see anything. When a powder changes due to temp sensitivity, is it due to the actual temperature of the powder or the temperature of the ambient air? In other words, can I negate the effects of temp sensitivity by...

    Picking a new 338 LM powder

    I was going to work up a new 338 Lapua Magnum load using 250gr bullets and H4831SC as that was one of the most popular powders I've seen people using. However, I've been to all the local shops and no one has any. They do however have tons of Reloader powder. I see in the reloading thread that...

    Which Reloader Powder for 338 LM?

    I had a pretty decent 338 Lapua Mag load using Hodgdon Retumbo and 300gr Sierra MKs. However, Retumbo along with a lot of Hodgdon powder has about dried up in the area. My local shop has tons of Alliant Reloader powders available. I see that RL-25 has a similar slow burn rate to Retumbo and...

    Too many trees...

    I belong to a range that has a 500 yard line, which is great fun to shoot. I'm really interested in trying 1000 yards but there just isn't any place I can find. 600 yards is the longest range in the state. Up here in New Hampshire, there's just way too many trees :-) I've asked around some...

    CNC Bullets

    What's the general opinion on CNC bullets? I hit the bottom of the powder I was using for my 243 Win hunting rifle and can't find any more so I'm looking to work up a new load. I've been shopping bullets and powders and wondered if I should give CNC bullets a try. I don't shoot a lot of 243...

    338 LM with Retumbo

    I'm looking to start working up a 338 LM load using 300gr Sierra MKs and Retumbo. Hodgdon says 85-94. I'm thinking somewhere in the 90-95gr area but that's a lot of ground to cover with expensive components. Does anyone have a favorite load that they would like to share?
