    dicks adl vs sps varmint rem 700

    That's much better than mine. I couldn't get inside 6" at 50 yards. Did a Cerosafe casting, and at the smallest point it was .205. It's getting a Green Mountain barrel put on it now. Should have it back soon.

    dicks adl vs sps varmint rem 700

    Walmart and Dick's put in a rather large order of adl style rifles prior to Remington ending the adl production. As to the difference in the two, on comes with a garbage plastic stock and drop out mag, the other comes with an equally junk stock, a blind mag, and a $50 scope.

    I like guns, and think to much

    Been an unregistered lurker for about 2 years, finally joined a couple weeks back, and started posting before I introduced myself. Been shooting since I was 4, supervised of course, so that puts me at 31 years behind the trigger. You don't know what you don't know until you think you have it...

    NEED HELP!!!. Dont know where to start load development (signs of pressure at low loads)

    You know, I think I've heard that mentioned, but never put much thought to it. But I really want to try that now. The helpful things we learn that are so simple, and get excited over. Haha You'd think after lurking unregistered for 2 years, and finally joining and getting involved, I would have...

    NEED HELP!!!. Dont know where to start load development (signs of pressure at low loads)

    Sniper, if I remember right, they are about 3/4 full. Not really enough to allow the flame to jump over the powder before ignition. So, I can all but totally rule that out. I'm on vacation right now, so don't have access to what the charge was, but I know it was near max according to Aliant's...

    NEED HELP!!!. Dont know where to start load development (signs of pressure at low loads)

    I'm not in the least bit doubting I could be wrong. In fact, I've taken into account the possibility of a less the full case being the culprit. I'm having to relearn much of what I was first taught by my dad when I was 13-14 because some of it I began to question, and figured out it wasn't quite...

    NEED HELP!!!. Dont know where to start load development (signs of pressure at low loads)

    With 27 grains of 748, I've had consistent results with flat primers showing what I was taught as good pressure, no cratering or dimpled primers. When I switched to AR-Comp, the edges of my primers are still round, yet they are cratered. This to me says double pressure spike, because I have no...

    NEED HELP!!!. Dont know where to start load development (signs of pressure at low loads)

    I had a similar issue with my 700 BDL 223 recently when I switched from 748 to AR-Comp to see how it shot. Groups got tighter, but it's cratering primers with absolutely no signs of pressure. Primers were CCI small rifle. My situation indicates a double pressure spike, with the solution, after...

    Ruger 10/22 accuracy

    The thing about a 10/22 is that it is a good platform to end up spending a lot of money on. Out of the box stock, I've not seen on shoot well yet. Neat toy, but you've got to invest some time and money.
