I have seen several methods shown on the web about using a McDonalds straw to make the ChargeMaster dispense powder more accurately. One method showed cutting it like a saw tooth pattern and the other was cut off at a slight angle with a single point. Which way is the best, or should it just be...

I have one of the R700 40th Anniversary editions with the 5R barrel. Shoots great, but the barrel is nearing the end of its life. What do you think of the 5R barrel and is it worth replacing it with another 5R or should I go with something else? If 5R is the way to go, who makes a good one? If I...

Re: Regular 700 action vs magnum action OK, custom action for the .338 LM. Thanks for talking me into it. Now that I have an action barreled for 30-06 and no special love for a 30-06, what will it take to convert it to 300 Win Mag other the a new barrel? Should I start looking for a custom...

Re: Regular 700 action vs magnum action What part of the bolt needs replaced? Is it easier to just get a new bolt for the .338LM or can a 30-06 bolt be modified?

In terms of the actual action of a Rem 700, is there any actual physical difference between a regular long action and a magnum long action? I am asking because I have a Rem 700 ADL in 30-06 and I would like to know if it is suitable to convert to 338 Lapua Mag. Thanks

Anyone tried these heavy monsters on a .308? Is is possible to stabilize them with 10:1 or the R5? Seems like an awfully big bullet, but might work well suppressed? I have not found any loading data on it. I suspect that bullet is designed for the .300 RUM and so on, but is it even possible to...

Does anyone know a source of documentation for the Pocket PC version on NightForce software? I ordered the software from a reputable vendor and was very disappointed when all I received was a SD card in a plastic bag and absolutely NO supporting documentation. They did not even include...

A few years ago I ran across a website that featured a shroud device for the B.O.S.S. that did not have the muzzle brake ports cut into it, but yet allowed it to function as a harmonic stabilizer. I lost the URL and can't seem to find it again. Anyone know what I am talking about? Opinions...

My email to FedEx customer service: Your reps in Lenexa, KS just refused to accept an unopened case of 45 ACP ammo that I needed to ship from KC to my son in Michigan. According to them, I have to call a day in advance and a special courier will come to my house and pick it up and then the next...

Has anyone found a decent how-to on how to do spiderweb finishes using Duracoat or anything else? I called Duracoat and got the scoop on using airplane glue, but I am not having much luck at getting it to flow right and look right using an air brush.

Re: 5/8 x 24 thread - muzzle devices - need advice Not meaning to call names or make accusations here, but it looks to me like he did the threading with a die instead of a threading tool on a lathe. You can only get a die on so far before the front of the die makes contact with the flat...

Re: Question on .308 long range The Nosler Custom Competition 190gr Match BTHP version? Thanks

I am old school, I guess...but not too old to learn. For a long time, I have been shooting a load that closely duplicates the military M852. At a max of 600 yards, I have good luck with it, and about the only thing I have changed through the years is to switch to molly coated bullets. It now...

Re: Spotting Scope & Tripod You will probably laugh, but I bought a cheap 25-75x75 "Trekker" spotting scope from Cabella's for $49.95 on sale, and it does an amazing job for such a cheap optic. Granted, it is not a Nikon or a Leupold, but for $50 it is very adequate and even with my poor...

Re: As Promised... Pics of my Vest.. Pardon my ignorance, but what is that bottom picture? Possibly some sort of a tourniquet device?

I am interested in getting some sort of portable ballistics calculator, but don't know much about them. I think I want something for a Palm Pilot device of some sort, but I don't know anything about them either. I would prefer a color display, but not a deal breaker. This is probably the only...
