    Gunsmithing Choke Tube Tap

    I'm considering the idea of cutting down the barrel on my 870. The actual cutting and cleanup, refinishing, will not be an issue. My question is regarding re-tapping the shortened barrel for choke tubes. The only reamer and tap I have found will cost as much or more than a new barrel. Is...

    Factory Ammo Specs

    Suppose you found a factory load that shot exceptionally well out of your gun. Instead of paying the high retail price, you decide to duplicate it yourself. Is there any info source that tells the specs on factory ammo? I know I can measure OAL, pull the bullet and weigh the powder. But how do...

    Gunsmithing WSM Info Needed

    Just got a great deal in a Remington 700 chambered in .270WSM. I dont really need it but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I'll probably try it out a couple times during deer season. Heres my ?... Are the WSM's still a regular short action? I already have a .300WSM and reloading...
