Re: whats is of value to you things or your family. Hi Firefox, Sorry to hear of your pain. Often there are greatly tortured circumstances that seem to twist the knife in the passing of a loved one or parent. I am 47, and all of my close buddies have lost their fathers to death in the last...

Re: 1-8 Twist 22-250 to use VLD - anyone shoot this ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but sadly even with an 80gr VLD, the 22-250 can only hold its own up to 300 yards with the larger bore diameters, in terms of susceptibility to wind drift. At 1000 yards an 80gr VLD from a 22-250 has about 33 %...

Hi, I have an unchambered none magnum 30 cal blank, 1-10 Twist, from Magnum Research, and wondering what action to fit to this carbon wrapped tube and what to chamber. Seems I could start off in 308 Win., then even rechamber to 30-284. Its an expensive blank, not the sort of thing to make a...

Hi Guys, Most factory 1-12 22-250 won't shoot anything over 55gr heads. Anyone have good results with 1-7 or 1-8 twist and VLD heads in their 22-250 bolt gun ? Gee

Hi Guys, http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ZERMEL/762ukm.html Bottleneck round boasts extreme accuracy. Thoughts welcome. Gee

Re: Black Rifle carbine calibers - Not 9mm or 45acp ? Hi KSwift, I think if one reloads, you've really got to be hosing down some targets to burn $ 2000 USD worth of heads, powder and primer, in either 9mm or 45, in the space of two range outings. I guess you must be a rock and roll, spray...

Hi, Anyone into AR-15 carbines in pistol calibers other than 9mm or 45ACP ? i.e. 38SA 9x25 Dillon 9mm Win Mag 10mm 40 Super 45 Win Mag 50AE Gee

Hi Guys, I think a factory standard 1-22 twist obtains MOA supersonic accuracy at 100 yards with the 250gr Hornady FTX heads, usually in an AR-15 platform. Anyone tried to optimise accuracy subsonic in a 450 Bushmaster bolt gun and if so, what bullet head and twist rate achieves this ? Gee

Re: Accuracy International questions Hi Guys, I'm getting a new barrel for my AW, as I'm tired of needing to fire ten 308 Win rounds to make just one sub 1/2 inch hole at 100 yards. With 450 Bushmaster, I get the same hole with one shot ! Gee

Re: Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ? Hi Rete8, Do you have any desire to rebarrel your 22-250 Ruger No. 1 to a faster twist, say 1-8, enabling use of heavier VLD heads ? The factory slow twist won't stabilise above 55gr and those light heads sure get blown off target down range. I had trouble with...

Re: Browning BLR 300BLK 240gr SMK Subs Rapid Fire ! Hi Sirhr, I'm using an iphone to post, don't have gun pictures on it, but I think most know what a FAL 30 round magazine looks like, sticking out an otherwise normal BLR..... HIGH ? No. Just trying to feel good, creative, be enthused and...

Re: Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ? Hi Savage338Lapua, Thank you for explaining how fast a No.1 can lay down fire. Splendid 45 cal muzzle loader No.1 is new to me and great to see. I had a No.1 in 577 N.E., got 9,500 Ft lbs Muzzle Energy from the 9 1/2 lb rifle, recoil, well, it would torque...

Re: Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ? Do you need more than one shot, or just more practise ? Shooters are made, not born, practise is everything. Gee

Surely the fastest way to launch multiple 240gr SMK quietly, without the noise of a gas operated rifle ? Does anyone here LOVE their BLR enough to finesse it to a custom rifle ? I have mig welded an FN FAL magazine to the base of a BLR mag, to obtain high capacity, though the rig still has...

Does anyone here prefer to use a Ruger No. 1 being unable to forego the clean lines and simplicity of a falling block ? I see picatinny rails can now be bought for a No. 1. It is a shame the forend can not be full floated off the barrel, as the mounting spigot is not robust enough without...

I have one in 308 and its compromised by either not being sent for impartial critical evaluation during the prototype phase, or if it was, those who evaluated it were no good, or the manufacturer / designer failed to act upon advice. No one can proof read their own book. It is a very...

Re: Rebated Rim 338 Lapua to fit 308 Bolt Face Hello Gentlemen, Regarding your earlier comments on my post:- I don't think fitting a barrel on an AW, a five minute job, is much of a modification burden, nor is custom rebating a couple of hundred 338 Lapua cases to fit a 308 bolt head. JD...

Is MOA accuracy achieved in 1-8 Twist 300 BLK when pushed Supersonic ? When you look at 30BR, people are having to use a 1-17 or 1-18 twist to get best accuracy from a 110 to 120gr 308 head. My understanding of Benchrest Accuracy is they expect 1/4 to 1/3rd MOA accuracy out to 300yards. I...

Re: Rebated Rim 338 Lapua to fit 308 Bolt Face Hi Ratburt, Having a quick change barrel facility on the AW encourages one to use it to the fullest extent, in order to receive the most enjoyment by having variety, and it saves on having to buy more and more rifles. However, there is also a...
