    Hunting & Fishing Kill a Groundhog - Feed an Eagle

    Went Groundhoggin' today with my shootin' partner John. I got dibs on the first shot and managed to drop this ol' boy with one shot @ 352 yards. Well not ten minutes later a group of Buzzards came in to the free meal. We watched and shot some video footage of the clean up crew. They hung around...

    700 feed issues

    I was shooting my new 700P today and once in a while the bolt would ride over the rounds in the mag. They were loaded properly, down, level and back. Is it possible that something isn't cut right in the receiver? Mark

    center feed box any better?

    I'm thinking of using a Wyatt's center mag feed box for a Rem 700 build. I have an ADL donor and was planning on using a Williams bottom metal. Will this mag box function 'better' than a standard BDL box (this will be for a 260 Rem)? Thanks. Rich

    Suppressors XD45 with 200gr LSWC feed problems

    I'm having problems with using a 200 gr LSWC in my XD45. I've only shot 100 rounds of these that I loaded for my XD45, but I have had more hangups and FTF than any of the thousands of 9mm I have ever loaded. Seems that with the majority of the hangups, the little squarish egdge would have a...

    Feed Ramp marking bullets

    It seems my AICS mag causes my bullets to slam into the feeding ramp and scrape up the ramp and leave copper jacket bits behind on the ramp. With help from a separate thread I was able to adjust my AICS 5rd mag to not scrape the feed ramp as much. However, after extracting the bullet (carefully)...
