    Sidearms & Scatterguns Educate me on the 10mm...

    Thanks for the clarification and further explanation SIR! I forgot about the reloading/brass issue, and didn't know that the 10mm was already in production. and if you ever want to sell that 1076 let me know! although an old sig 220 in 10mm wins my heart too. ( i do love the feel of an all...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Educate me on the 10mm...

    as far as i know, the history of the 10mm began back in the 90's after that fatal FBI shootout in florida. The FBI was looking for a new caliber to replace the 9mm. 45 was already out of the question. so manufactures made up a 10mm. the ballistics are great especially with +P type...

    What press/presses are you using?

    forester co-ax, the only thing i don't really like about how it loads primers, (granted it loads them to a good repeatable depth, its just kinda slow, and you have to handle each individual primer)

    Gunsmithing Stock refinishing Quesiton

    I was thinking about glass bedding it because i want to practice and see the outcome before i decide to do it on my 700 or just pay a smith to bed it. Figure its a cheaper way to find out if i suck at it or not. I've read and watched videos but the majority of work comes in the prep.

    Bullet drop table for .308?

    i like the JBM ballistic calc you can get as an APP on your phone, while pretty accurate, it will defiantly help you get on target and find the actual dope for your rifle/round combo. if you didn't have any dope before.

    I had already taken the bottom metal and action out before i remembered to take a photo. I'm thinking this thing must have been painted at some time, there seemed to be spots of paint or stained poly or whatever on the underside of the action,
