Anybody have some intel? I've found the same 10 posts which don't really satisfy my need to know, so am looking for any additional information. I've tried 63gr RL-17 already and it was showing pressure signs so I'm backing off to 58 and working up properly. I didn't chrono the 63gr load but...

Most of these parts came out of my spare parts / take-off parts box, looking forward to finding some dies in-stock and getting to touch this one off. I live in MI and so can't legally have a suppressor, but you better believe the minute I move out of state the first thing I get on order will be...

I love having a "spare parts" box. After long enough there are eventually enough parts in it to build a new rifle. For this one, all I had to buy was the Magpul stock and the CMMG barrel. Pretty standard build, but this one is mine. Lower: Mil-spec random brand forged Upper: Mil-spec...

I've been using DA lately for shooting, but was frustrated by not being able to find any good high-res charts to print out for pressure altitude and density altitude. So I put these together as a PDF, maybe someone else can get some use out of them too. Density Altitude Chart Pressure...

So I have a spare 308 on the rack, a 26" Shilen barrel and a nice target stock. I never shoot it because I have a 20" that I prefer. I got to thinking that there shouldn't be any reason I couldn't re-chamber it to a 300wsm and have a nice magnum rifle to play with... So ream out the chamber...

So I've been seeing a lot of buzz about density altitude and shooting, but am not sure I understand why it's more useful than station pressure and temperature. Anybody fill me in? DA was originally made for aircraft test comparisons, and I see how it can be accurate but it seems needlessly...

I was watching a "burn notice" rerun and he pulled out what looked to be an AI/AW rifle, but could have been just a rem700 in an AICS stock, it was hard to tell. But the point was the barrel was off the receiver for transport, and it was assembled prior to setting up with a few quick turns. I...

The highest I've found is 0.891 (Berger 300gr VLD .338) Any higher?

I bought my first Glock today, a Glock 19, after hearing so much about how great they are. It shoots fine, accurate enough, simple to use, nice size for CCW... but where's the golden turd these things are supposed to lay? Nothing strikes me as bad at all, but nothing really stands out either...

It's almost like buying the rifle all over again, just without the hurt in my wallet. I had loaned it out to a friend with a coyote problem over two years ago, and he just returned it in good shape and with a new case. Oddly enough, I've learned a lot about precision shooting in the past two...

In the realm of somewhat impractical (but interesting) shooting, has anybody ever done much with loopholes? I got the opportunity at a friends farm and it was damn near impossible to get the dope right on the barn and the target at the same time. Its hard to see how anyone would be able to...

I've got a 5.56 chambered AR, and sometimes plink with Wolf steel cased ammo since its cheap and readily available. I've had a problem with the steel cases getting stuck in the chamber, and its happened on a couple of different rifles now. The barrels aren't any high grade barrels (the better...

So I've got a friend who is an amazing and certified TIG welder, but he has never welded a Remington bolt handle before. He offered his skill up to do it, and I'd like to take him up on it but was wondering if there are any common problems with doing it, or areas not to weld. Looking at the...

I've got a 1:9 twist AR that I usually just shoot wolf or green-tip through, but am starting to think about reloading for it. I had a box of 60gr Sierra HP's that I tried a load out with using H335, it did better than factory but not what I would hope for. I know for 308 there's several...

Looking for a decent holster for my Sig. I want strong side OWB carry that can be CCW under a jacket, so nothing too loose or bulky. Suggestions with personal experience are the most helpful, lord knows I have a box full of holsters that "some guy" says worked well but were total crap.

For any shooters in or around Kentucky, I stopped by and checked out the RockCastle shooting center today. There's been wild rumors flying around about 2500yds or more, and I had to see what the deal was. They didn't have any targets out today so I didn't shoot, but maybe tomorrow. I did get...

Anybody got recommendations for a drag bag that will hold a 56" long rifle?

Here's a few of the bullets I've been looking at using, thought I'd share the list. Velocities are based on a 338 Edge / 338 Lapua typical loading. Your mileage may vary. Max Range is based on when the bullet goes below Mach 1, some of these bullets may be stable through the sonic barrier so...

So I had made and fitted a muzzle brake to my 338 Edge, but despite my careful machining I shot it the first time out. Just a slight glancing blow to the last baffle, but it would probably not help my accuracy to leave it. I had made the mb hole 0.358" diameter, (20 thou oversized) since...

Here's a 5-shot group with one called flinch. I was shooting it without the brake on and its a bit of a beast. The dark grid squares are 1" grid, with the lighter and thinner lines being 0.200" grid. This is the first group I shot with the rifle, and was 90.0gr H1000 under 300gr SMK's...
