    1000 Yard Velocity

    Yep, the M118 type bullet will get the job done. Even if it drops below super-sonic, it has the weight to fight light cross winds.

    M1A Problem

    An obvious question but, what the heck.... The gas piston and gas cylinder has to be bone dry. No oil or bore cleaner what so ever on either part. Any kinks in the op-rod spring? How's the roller bearing on the bolt? Is it lubed? Has anything changed in the ammo or reloading components? How are...

    Anyone have a Mini 14?

    The mini just won't do much better unless you spend major bucks to get it "tuned". After doing everything under the sun to make it a MOA ( never got it 100%) I placed it in the back of the safe and moved to another platform.

    How do make the safety be silent?

    Down and dirty.... remove the really stiff spring and use a lighter spring. This will stop the ball bearing snapping into the detente. I've done it to several of my rifles. Its a very quick and dirt cheap fix.

    Gunsmithing What 7mm cal to chamber a new barrel

    7mm STW. Brass can be made from several calibers. As for barrel burning, Most of today's barrels will withstand far more heat and pressures than in the past.

    Maggie’s The most interesting sniper in the world...

    His muzzle brake is quieter than the best suppressor, he does not pull the trigger,he just thinks that the rifle will fire and it does Out of respect for him his bullets never foul the bore, He has not missed a target since he was two, two days old, He makes his own barrels, Pope learned from him.

    Rifle Scopes I let the nitrogen out of my Scope...how to refill it?

    We use it at work for very expensive lens cleaning. It's been around for many years. It is Water-Pumped Nitrogen in a can. I use the straw tube and tilt the can a little, The gas is not a liquid of course,but a few second slow burst will displace most of the room air with nitrogen. It works for...

    Anybody still use old school techniques?

    I'm still an Old School shooter.. It is what I know, and I guess I learned it well. I still use open sights out to 1,000 yards on a good day. Longer than that I use glass. I put tape on the side of the butt stock with my sight settings for a known range. I rely on my spotter to dope the wind and...

    Forster CO-AX

    I have had mine for over 40 years. It is the best single stage press ever made. I could not begin to count the rounds I have loaded using it. After you get yours and have used it for a few months, go over to one of your shooting buddies house and try his press. The first stroke you take you will...

    Gunsmithing Too much free float?

    Many of the new Mall-Ninja rifle stock makers have aluminum or plastic stocks where other than the action, nothing touches the barrel. I have a .25-06 long range rifle in a wood stock where other than the receiver ring, nothing touches the barrel. This allows the barrel nodes to do their thing...

    Am I seeing that right? $60.00 a box of 100 rounds of CCI ???

    It is not just them. Ammo distributors have jacked their prices up by at least 100% or more. A major gun shop out here just got in a shipment of Privi Partizan,Wolf, and Federal ammunition. I scanned the shelves and took note of a few of the new prices: Privi 9mm Makarov FMJ ammo 50 rounds-...

    What Brake are People using on the long range toys!..Luv to see them!

    J&P Muzzle brakes. One of the few that really does deduce recoil by 90% or more.

    Rifle Scopes I let the nitrogen out of my Scope...how to refill it?

    I use Dust-Off Nitrogen can to re-fill the Bubba scopes I have found over the years. While the scope was not taken down to a couple of Torr's of Vacuum, it does work and stops fogging. For a cheap, quick fix, it's worth the effort.

    Range Report what size targets at longer ranges??

    We use 3.5x4' AR500 steel targets with 6-10" dots painted on them. This size target lets you see your hits and walk your shots onto the target dot you are aiming at. We use these targets out to 2,000 yards and are easy to see with 20+ power optics. A too small target is a waste of time and...

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    The Whitworth Rifle of the Civil War. It made the longest shot of the war. It was the Mall-Nija rifle of its time with it's new-fangled bullet design,tube site and trigger.

    Bolt vs Semi accuracy groups.

    A ten shot group after the bore has been fouled to remove any oil in the bore from the last cleaning.

    what is the maximum you can seat ogive off the lands / jump?

    And don't forget there are rifles made deliberately with a long throat to control chamber pressures that still shoot very well indeed. Cartridge Throat length (free bore) .224 Weatherby Magnum .162 .240 Weatherby Magnum .169 .257 Weatherby Magnum .378 .270 Weatherby Magnum .378 7MM...
