    Gunsmithing chamber question?

    I have 5 or 6 reloads on some of it and no issues. I guess I will just have to keep it separate, which does suck because I have a ton fired from factory rifle and not nearly enough for the other two. I thought about tearing one down and giving it another .001 or .002 to see if that would work...

    Gunsmithing Machining...can it be self-taught?

    I waited on a rifle once for over a year, told myself it couldn't be rocket science, convinced the wife i'd be saving money in the long run (yeah right).

    Re: $50 Hillbilly Gun Oven I made one almost exactly like this only I use a heat gun instead of the hot plate Just put heat gun in thru hole in the bottom small exhaust hole at the top. It works really well. I never thought about a hot plate I guess I assumed the circulation would help.

    Re: Variable Wind one area we shoot the wind at the gun is almost always opposite of what you should shoot because of the terrain it is really hard to accept that here the wind is 3oclock at the target its 3oclock but everywhere in between its 9oclock. Totally a terrain induced illusion gets...
