    M40 finally up and running!

    I didn’t really have any problems. I after each session I would use mineral sprits with a rag or 000 steel wool to clean it up and check out the grain. the only thing that was a PIA was the very bottom, or lowest point of the checkering. It took forever to raise that and sand out to the point...

    Reloading fun

    No doubt it saves money for the amount I shoot since I started reloading years ago. It would cost a bigger fortune to shoot the same amount buying ammo... or so I tell myself

    I’m hunter and enjoy the the actual loading part, the brass prep not so much. I do find the terminal performance very interesting.

    How should I be cleaning my precision rifle?

    Another vote for Bore tech Eliminator. I use that and Montana Extreme Copper Cream and Copper Killer when necessary. The Eliminator works very well and is very mild on the nose.

    I used this stuff called citrus strip, citristrip? It was much milder than the high potency stuff that ive used before. Not quite as effective, but no chemical burns either. for small projects its gtg.

    M40 finally up and running!

    The stock could have very well started as an ADL and someone carved out the inlet for the bottom metal. I used a stripper to remove the gloss finish. The checkering was quite a pain. I believe it was not true checkering, but pressed checkering which makes it easier... I guess. The design of the...

    I want to start shooting prs type matches. Are there “normally” prs matches in LA? If so, where. I have a lot to learn about them as well, so if someone is willing to help or just get together and shoot I always ready. I’m more or less a casual shooter/handloaderwho bench shoots out to 500 or so.

    I'm at 3060 with the 212. The 215 was around 2950, I think... it was definitely a little slower.

    Hunting & Fishing 215 berger 230 berger or 225 eldm? For hunting 300 win mag

    My 300 liked, but didn’t love the 215 Bergers, they shot ok. I killed several whitetails with the 215 from 100 out to 650ish. No complaints about the 215 performance. I never recovered a bullet and I never lost an animal with it. My rifle loves the 212 eldx. I’ve had the same results with both...
