Not snipery, but definitely antiquiey. I wanted a K11 short rifle to go along with it's longer 1911 brother. Found a few at Simpsons and made a road trip. Picked up what I originally thought to be low serial numbered (16xxx) rifle with a strong bore, some faded bluing, and nice tiger striping...

I’m currently working up a hunting load for the wife using a supply of Remington 165gr PSPCL in .308. (#23595). Does anyone know what a ballpark minimum expansion velocity these have? Requests to Remington have gone unanswered. (Surprise). My guess would be about 1800fps or so, but I have no...

Finally had the chance to take out the G11 beyond 100yds. Did some distance shooting with some other rifles, and saved the Swiss for the end. Target was a 2/3 IPSC @ 300yds. Ammo was GP11. Using the Swiss Products Diopter, did my best to aim for the upper part of the plate. Again, the...

Does anyone have any side-by-side experience to share between these two? I have had phenominal results out to 1K using the AMAX in .300wm. The load is 76.0gr H1000, R-P brass, Fed210, and the bullet at .030 out of a Stiller and 26” Bartlein. Getting 2905fps. Obviously, my supply is running...

I know there are some aviation folks here, so I thought I would share. Thru my day job, I had the opportunity recently to attend an after hours coat and tie dinner at the Udvar-Hazy Annex of the Smithsonian. We had the place to ourselves for the entire evening. Dinner, wander to your hearts...

Hello all. Post #1 under the .308 Load Sticky... Wanting to expand myself beyond the 175smk and looking at the 185 Bergers. Not familiar with them besides their excellent reputation. They seem to have quite a few options in the 185gr range. In layman beginner terms, can someone explain the...
