    Gunsmithing Horrible Idea Needing Your Two Cents!

    Re: Horrible Idea Needing Your Two Cents! In "theory" this would work. Albeit not exceptionally well. You would need multiple extractors and feeding issues would arise immediately. Secondly in theory you would also be better off with a threaded "bushing" or "collet" that was interrupted for...

    6.5 Creedmoore Brass?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoore Brass? Hornady is all there is unfortunately. Kinda soft and i'm just not pleased with the brass cartridge performance is great. Would love to see Lapua make some brass for it.

    Gunsmithing Recoil Lug Question

    Re: Recoil Lug Question Yup new lug only needs to fit over the outer diameter of the threads. And as long as your replacing the barrel go for it. If you are trying to put a larger lug on a factory barrel headspace will be affected. A .250 lug should fit and if its too long your smith should...

    Gunsmithing need help with a AICS 338 mag

    Re: need help with a AICS 338 mag We bevel all the followers on 338 mags at work. no reduction in strength or reliability. Just draw a line on the follower at the back of the mag so you dont grind to much and grind a 45 degree angle. works great.

    Gunsmithing Help with a gas block

    Re: Help with a gas block Changing the switch to something smaller on the full position should be all that is necessary. if you are comfortable drilling it yourself i would start much smaller like .070" try it and enlarge it till it works. then go up one drill size for reliability and...

    Is Bohica Arms out of business??

    Re: Is Bohica Arms out of business?? Maybe I should go stop by their shop on my way home and see whats up. I'm not a huge fan of their product but I'd hate to see another firearms manufacture having trouble.

    barrel crown question

    Re: barrel crown question There are alotta thoughts about crown. The biggest issue when cutting a new crown or the original is to make sure its concentric to bore and clean. That said, What you are explaining may cause a point of impact shift, and or bullet jacket deformation if its...

    How did they ever survive???

    Re: How did they ever survive??? I personally have tried the tape and a sock trick but I guess thats improper. Needless to say I probably wont be attending any future courses from that instructor.

    How did they ever survive???

    Re: How did they ever survive??? I guess the question is if its not possible to shoot effectively without proper cheekpiece alignment how did any of the early snipers ever kill anyone?

    How did they ever survive???

    Recently at a basic rifle marksmanship training course in Arizona, I heard an instructor say that no manufacturer made an effective adjustable cheekpiece. Also that it was difficult/impossible to shoot without something that fit the shooter properly. While I understand a part of this I'm left...

    162 Amax vs. 162BTHP w/amp

    Re: 162 Amax vs. 162BTHP w/amp That is a very good point. I was wondering if there was a direct correlation or if it was only due to slight surface resistance. Very slight slowing in rpm would effect spin drift but not stability. I sit very happily corrected. Thank you sir.

    162 Amax vs. 162BTHP w/amp

    Re: 162 Amax vs. 162BTHP w/amp Has anyone considered the rpm/stability theory. If I remember my formula correctly its velocity times rotations per foot times 60= RPM We know that at the muzzle with a 1 in 8 twist at 2700fps your turning some 243k rpm. very stable. But at 1k yds at...

    Muzzle Brake vs Accuracy

    Re: Muzzle Brake vs Accuracy +1 more for proper install. i've had very good luck with vias, and elite iron breaks. I have yet to see a decrease in accuracy. As for harmonics if you consider barrel "whip" due to muzzle blast forces the brake should calm it down. Just a theory no science on...

    Gunsmithing parking raw chrome moly action

    Re: parking raw chrome moly action There is a huge disparity in pro's and con's with finish usually landing on someones's favorite. Parkerizing is usually done by filling the bore with water and plugging is so as not to fill the rifling with coral. Look at it under a microscope thats what it...

    Tell me if I screwed up

    Re: Tell me if I screwed up Shoot it. The load possibilities are endless. Its a new caliber enjoy. If you decide to rebarrel, most any competent gunsmith can open the bolt face from .422" to .473". With or without changing extractor that is generally your choice. Though the remington...

    Hunting & Fishing What happened here?

    Re: What happened here? Shockwave produced by almost any centerfire cartridge at that range would easily crush bones and cartilage in the throat or upper trachea. Any lack of oxygen kills the animal. I have also seen a full grown moose run headlong into a simple 4 foot sheep wire fence break...
