Hello, I'm always improving the stuff I make. Will you folks please post your 100 or 200 yard targets shot with c. WWII sniper's rifles? Mosins, Mausers, etc; snipers and ex-snipers would be appreciated. Distance, load, and rifle as well as irons or optics would be appreciated. Regards...

Hello, I am making a run of two-stage Mosin triggers this week. Five were available. Three were claimed and paid for. Two are left. These utilize a hybrid design. The trigger itself is an M39-style, but is the next logical progression as it uses bearings instead of static pins. There...

Just figuring out some problems posting with BB on wifi. Ignore please.

Hello, I do not own a precision 'scoped .308 yet. Around here, open sights work better for anything above varmint rounds. I can do all the math I want, but it doesn't translate into the real world well from what I can tell. So, if you were going to try to compare apples to oranges, how would...

Hello, Friday, Stephen A. Camp suffered a brain aneurism. With no hope for recovery, he was taken off life support and passed from this life on the night of Friday, May 27th, to Saturday, May 28th. The funeral will be held at DeBerry Funeral Home in Denton, Texas. Cremation will immediately...

Hello, I am wondering what kind of accuracy expectations you folks have from your iron-sighted rifles? Any type, any era. With handloads, I'm getting consistent sub-2" groups at 100 yards (maybe a shade over; I used a GPS to measure), and, at times, I get a cluster of three with two close...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone else has lapped their locking lugs, and what difference did you notice? Thank you, Josh

Hello, I do not know how much interest there is in Mosin-Nagants here. Properly set up as intended to be, they are capable of about 1.5MOA or better. I consider the Mosin-Nagant to be a tough, inexpensive rifle which can be easily accurized and used almost as well as a 1903 Springfield...

Hello, I missed two squirrels with seven shots. Given that I'd been getting nothing but head shots until I started shooting at more extreme angles out to 75 to 100 yards, I can pretty much narrow it down to a misunderstanding of slope dope. I can find formulas for high powered rifle...

Hello, Tonight nuts were falling from the trees. I mentioned to Nikki that we might go see what was out there. While I was standing underneath the tree with the most nuts falling from it (a big ol' shagbark hickory covered in poison ivy) trying to spot what was cutting nuts, Nikki was looking...

Hello, I was turned on to this stuff by a member of Indiana Gun Owners Forums. He made a gift of some (thanks HFB!) when we went shooting. http://www.fluid-film.com/products/ I've been running it in all manner of firearms now, and it beats CLP or pretty much anything else all to heck, with...

Hello, I've begun a selection process for a rifle in .22 Hornet. Specs must be these: Left handed bolt action Four to five round capacity Heavy, or semi-heavy, barrel, no sights preferably MOA accuracy from the box with good hand loads D&T for a 'scope mount Reasonable price, similar to...

Hello, I was shooting on my range today, testing .22LR handloads. At 30yds, a largish fox squirrel appeared. My mind went, "squirrel!" It saw me at about the same time, so I dialed down the 'scope to 4.5x, which is the minimum setting, stood up, did a Hasty Hasty sling, and sent the bullet...

Hello, Here's something you might find fun to play with if you get bored: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2q9lb62306dc80j/22RF%2050yd%20Audio%20Chronograph%20BETA.xlsx You'll need a 50yd range, a sound editor/analyzer with graphical readout - Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) is...

Hello, Hypothetically, let's say that I'm working on a wildcat load. Please assume the load was originally developed with a powder with a similar burn rate to BE. The original specs are thus: 40gn lead bullet, BC about .132 .224 caliber, seated depth only .10-.13" 3.1gn water capacity 1.5gn...

Hello, I have a Savage MkII in .22LR. When I first got it, there was a definite change in impact with change in bullet brand. I got to playing around with the barrel - first I just put a Limbsaver damper on it, but then got to thinking about putting a controlled pressure point right in front...

Hello, Can someone check this math,please? Before I go plugging it into a spreadsheet? It's a .22LR handload. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code:</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre> Impact = 0.517490s Shot start = 0.060320s T(bullet unadjusted)...

YouTube - Set Trigger For Savage MkII, Anybody? <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: red">Gunsmith installation required. In other words, CMA! </span></span> The first pull is 4lbs; the set pull is 8oz. I am very much liking this! The safety locks the sear to the trigger as...
