    .45 colt question

    Great info, thanks. We were talking about just buying factory loaded hornady hunting ammo, and specifically staying away from +P loads. Wad cutters and other plinking rounds have never been a bunch of concern so far. I was just caught off guard by the psi discrepancy between manufacturers. I...

    .45 colt question

    Good morning everyone, first of all, I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. However, my question relates to chamber pressures and I figured the reloading forum would be my first stop. I was asked a question by a friend that's not very gun savvy and I don't want to answer incorrectly...

    Just got a new NSS Criterion barrel.

    My savage is getting a make over. I just re-barreled it in 6.5CM, with a Criterion from NSS. I'll be shooting the first 100 rounds or so using factory ammo and saving brass to reload with. Anyone have any pointers on breaking in the barrel? I've heard lots of opionins from people that don't...

    This rifle will be more PRS based in design. But I do want to build another that's for extended long range. But haven't picked a caliber yet. 7mm is in the running, but so is .300 norma. Decisions decisions...

    Savage fcp-10 needs a new barrel

    My worn out barrel was a .308 that was cut down to 18". So getting to 1k was kinda a pain in the ass if the wind picked up any. I'll be shooting hand loads almost exclusively after its broke in. I think I'll get the 6.5CM, and mix things up some. I'm trying to get to a mile. The 6.5CM can do...

    Texas matches?

    Thanks guys. I'm in Houston, so the north Texas matches would only be a couple times a year at best. I was mostly wondering if there was anything other than bayou rifles f-class or CCC on the 2nd sat around here. I'll look into the Texas multi gun, sounds like fun

    Texas/Louisiana comps?

    Me and a buddy live in houston and are looking at getting precision matches. Does anyone know the best place to find matches? I was hoping to find more than just prs or fclass. But I'm fairly ignorant of any others out there. Thanks in advance

    in a .308 pickle, any help?

    What stock is that? I kinda like it. But I will be sending it to CDI for sure now. I have talked to them and was surprised at how cheap it was to do. But I'm currently shooting 168's. But will develop a new load for 1k yards. I know about how easy it is to swap a savage barrel, I just need to...

    in a .308 pickle, any help?

    I want a 24" barrel, or at least a 22". my longer range shots are getting a little squirrely at range. but I really like the mag fed option. I've never been one for stuffing them in through the top. if I was to buy a new stock I'd get a B&C medalist to try out. I don't need to be as cool as the...

    F T/R Competition anyone shooting at bayou rifles in houston this weekend?

    Don't get me wrong. Of course safety comes first. Ive just been competing against myself for a few years and now have enough skill to try out a match. But I do need to learn the range rules for this place, and how to pull targets. I'm hoping to become a semi regular out there as long as...

    F T/R Competition anyone shooting at bayou rifles in houston this weekend?

    Thanks for the correction, and I knew it was mid range. Just made a typo and completely missed it. But I hope to do well. My goal is to not be in last place. Figured it could make for a good start. Ill see you there if you can make it. @ blackbrush thanks! I hope I don't need it
