I may have missed it, but didn't you get a Savage to test too? How did it do and what are the particulars on it? Thanks, Paul

I love trees. I don't think that they can plant enough to make that much of a difference, atleast not in our lifetime. They would have to replace the number of trees that have been cut in the last 150-200 years to see a different in 50 years. You can be born with asthma, I know. I was and have...

Thanks.

I don't know if this really belongs in gunsmithing. I have a laminated wood stock that I have worked on so that it fits me. I'm considering cutting the top of the comb and setting it up so that I can adjust the comb for eye alignment to the scope. Now I'm using a ctg. sleeve with dense foam...

No I ddidn't take pics. It's not pretty and I due to health I haven't been able to shoot it in the past few years. When it was finished it was a 1 hole wonder at 100 yards. I know tthat's not far but it was preeffy much round not oval. It's in the safe. If I get some help getting it out, I'll...

I've had good success with JBWeld putty. It's in a clear tube off white on 1 end and dk gray on the other. They make different strengths/hardiness. I also use HEAVY motor oil for the release agent. I used 2 small lengths of lamp threaded tube for the pillar bedding. I contoured the tube to the...

I love my pitts. They are not very brave unless you bother one of my kids/grandkids, then they will keep you busy until I can TCB. Mine and mt daughter's pitts total over the years about 20 dogs and not 1 has been mean unless justified, ie: stranger forcing his way in at my daughter's, stranger...

I just looked at the shock hammers. I've never heard of them before now. I'll probably be ordering some Monday, Thanks.

I worded it wrong when I said "lead", I should have said copper, oops. I've got several different ctg/caliber rifles. I just would like to hunt with one of my rifles that I've never used. It was such a deal that I just couldn't turn that beautiful thing down. It has the prettiest wood that I've...

If we take lung shots we don't usually get a very large exit wound, small deer. We also have a lot of very heavy cover, briars, swamp, etc. that makes recovery a little tough sometimes. We aren't that far from the Savannah river. We are in it's swamps and small tributaries. I personally am not...

I have other rifles, I just want to use this one. We also have big wild hogs.

That's what I'm thinking. I did some testing on the very first copper "X" bullets, before the grooves. I really didn't like the performance. I've tried copper 1 time since and again was disappointed. Our deer aren't very large. A 200 lb buck is about state news. That's why I'm concerned about...

I have everything that I need to load the .338 except the bullets. I realize that the .338 win. isn't a long range round, but the manufacturers are making the majority of .338 bullets for the new .338 calibers that are long range rounds. They usually are long and heavy. I'm pretty sure that a...

I don't have the equipment to alloy copper with silver.

I don't have either on this rifle. It's a .338 Win. that I bought years ago, before the .338 was a long range/sniper round. I could get regular lead tip bullets for it then that weighed less than 200 gr. Barnes has some light .338 bullets but I'm afraid that they would over penetrate our...

Thank you, I'm an OLD member. I haven't been on here for 5 yrs. or more and haven't shot for or more 7 yrs. due to health. I can't really remember how long ago it was. I built a 7mm Valkyrie mag. with a lot of help from a guy named Keith. It's very similar to Nathan's (in New Zealand) 7mm...

I want to make copper bullets open quicker. Would annealing the tip (only) back to the ogive of the bullet cause quicker upset? If I anneal the whole bullet it would cause barrel leading a lot quicker, wouldn't it? Thanks, scpaul, been gone a while due to health, hope that I'm back for a long...

Congrats. on the 7/300, I'm in the process of building a 7mm Valkyrie myself. It's basically a 7/300 with an Ackley treatment.How long is the barrel on your rifle? In the past , with magnums and overbore ctgs. I found that the slower powders generally gave more consistant accuracy and velocity...

Did they make few enough to be collectable??? OK, any body know a friend's brother's, cousin's,Father-in-law that tried it?? Seriously; Anybody know of any damages? Think I'll call Otis and ask about it. Paul

I found a new pkg. of Otis Lifeliner that I forgot I had. Other than their (OTIS's) reviews, I can't find anything about it. Did anyone actually use it?? It's not shown on their website at this time. I have seen it on old posts(2008+-) run down,called snake oil, called BS, but nobody said they...
