    Tikka 223 or 25-06

    260rem vs 7-08 for young shooter and hunter

    Re: 260rem vs 7-08 for young shooter and hunter If you reload, there are a lot of reduced loads in 30-06 that make shooting a 30-06 like shooting a 22 mag. Not sure if there are any reduced loads in your calibers. When my son got his Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 I started with very light loads and...

    Re: Bore Squeeg-E Remington's New Bore Cleaner How do you use a boresnake? I have one and after one pull isn't it dirty? If you reuse it after its its dirty aren't you just pulling crud back through your bore? I bought it for my SVT40 and after shooting some corrosive rounds. I pulled the...

    VEPR Hunter 7.62x54r- Gettin' Itchy Here

    Re: VEPR Hunter 7.62x54r- Gettin' Itchy Here So all I get with the longer barrel is more vorticity/energy to punch the steel core of the surplus into what ever I am shooting? When I was shooting steel core surplus through my SVT40 at my AR steel swing target the steel core didn't penetrate...

    cleaning my new Anschutz (any .22 Barrel)

    Re: cleaning my new Anschutz (any .22 Barrel) What doubts do you have? The same cable cleans my 22's and my 223. I cut my own patches from muzzle loading patches so I can make them fit the bore. I don't use the $$$ round Otis patches. I just cut the patch to size, or you could buy them if...

    7.62x54R vs 1"steel

    Re: 7.62x54R vs 1"steel If you shoot the steel core stuff you need to know that the steel core rod may bounce back at you. It did for me when shooting at an armor steel swing target at 100 yrds or less . Most just fell under the target but some must of be hit like a swinging baseball bat...

    Preferences on 1pc cleaning rods

    Re: Preferences on 1pc cleaning rods Otis pull through cable. Its one piece. Pull it through the bore and done. No dirty rod banging the bore when pulling it back through the barrel. Add a good foam bore cleaner (no brush needed) and you will never have metal touching your bore again. The...
