    Hornady Custom Grade Dies question

    Just got a set of Hornady Custom Grade Dies in 6.5X06 and I can't figure out if they are glass blasted or industrial chromed. Does anyone know? I have some Durachrome dies that have the same appearance but there is nothing on box or in the literature that tells for sure. This is first set of...

    Varget in 7/08 seems to be exceptionally dirty

    I built up a new course gun over the winter and took it to its first full range 80 Shot match last Saturday and a reduced range 50 shot match last month. I was running 37.8 Gr. Varget with 150 Sierra and got off the 600 with 198-8X. Held beautiful elevation at 600 but cleaning it was a bear...

    Remington rifle problems exposed

    Tomorrow night on CNBC 10/20/2010 at 2100 hrs there is going to be a hour long program on how dangerous the 700s are from a safety standpoint. Obviously a hatchet job some bastard has dreamed up to make Remington look bad.

    New life for 303 rifles

    I got a 30/303 RCBS FL die about 30 years ago in a trade and with one thing leading to another I decided I needed a reamer and a rifle to go with them. Basically it is a 303 FL die but neck reduced to size and hold 30 cal bullets. I got a Elliott 303 Brit reamer on ebay and had the neck/throat...

    Best case inspection tool = CHEAP

    Was at Walmart a couple weeks back in sporting goods section and spotted a little Rayovac LED flashlight w/ battery for 3.00. I figured what the heck, cheaper than a Whopper so I got it. WOW what a great little light. I now have about eight of them. Keep one in coat pockets, key chains...

    Gunsmithing Has anyone rebarreled a Tikka for BR family?

    I have a wild hair to try rebarreling a Tikka for the BR family of cartridges, primarily a 30BR but would consider a 6MMBR. Just looking it appears the straight stack mag and long control of case by mag lips would make it an ideal set up for mag feeding. Has anyone done this as yet?

    Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES?

    I keep seeing references to small base dies on other forums with claims that they size .001" to .003" smaller on the base than FL dies. Well lets see if that is true by using the following. We will address 308 and 30.06 for this discussion but similar can be used for 223. This is a...

    Model 70 Win back in the game

    Was up at a dealer friend's place today and he had a Mod 70 Winchester made at the Columbia, SC plant. Nice smooth action, big claw extractor. Now if they would just start making heavy barrel rifle for long range we would be good to go.

    Nice E Silhouette Target for close range training

    A couple of years ago I was surfing around and found some rather nifty rubber stamps for making targets. It was a set of four 1" dot, 2" dot, rings and rings with cross hair overlay. I called and got to talking to the owner and come to learn he is also a shooter. I told him I thought it would...

    Want to see how well your rifle really shoots?

    If you want to see how well your rifle really does you need to shoot dual range targets at same time. It is kind of tricky but here is how. Set up target at 300 yards on a target board that has a large open hole. Say the size of the black on a 200 yard repair center. Place the 200 yard...

    The Rem 700 plastic stocks are mesh filled polypropolene. Had anyone found anything that will stick to it to bed with? JB Weld won't work, Devcon won't work, Marinetex won't work. Anybody tried anything else and work or didn't work.

    Poor mans Sniper Scope for mid range application.

    Several guys have asked me how I can take one scope, hit at 100,200,300,400 and 600 yards and never touch the scope adjustment knobs so I have decided to write up the procedure to help out other guys that don’t have the bucks in this economy to drop $1200.00+ on a MILDOT rig. The absolute...
