I have found an accurate load for my AR15 that uses a 52 grain bullet with no crimping grove. I have loaded several of these in a 20 round mag and fired them with no trouble until today. I had fired a few rounds and decided to remove the round that had chambered and check it out. The bullet...
C;eaning Brass
After sizing, trimming, deburring and cleaning primer pockets I toss all my brass into a large plastic bowl then add some Dawn dishwashing liquid and hot water. I let it sit for awhile then put my hands in the bowl and toss the brass around for awhile. I then rinse everything...
Pretty Handguns
Gosh, there are some nice looking handguns showing up. Pictures are great, but I would like to see them in person. Here is my pretty handgun simply because it is the only nickel finish gun I own. It is a 4 screw model 29 with 4" barrel.
I just bought the RCBS 304 scale at a garage sale. It look like a good scale but the owner tried, at one time, to balance it by loosening a small rod that goes through the rear of the balance beam. I can now zero it with the knob at the very rear of the balance beam. I have a scale weight...
Why
I just saw on one of the "most amazing police videos" a real life situation that did make me think. For some reason one of this guys friends was making a video of this. Here is the scene. A real bully type guy had made it his daily job to beat the crap out of this unfortunate individual...
I have just started shooting my 30-30 Model 94 in a local Silhoutte shoot. They shoot from 50 meters out to 200 meters. I have been using Winchester 748 Powder with a 165 grain cast, gas checked bullet. I started with 33 grains and my groups, especially out to 200 meters, were not good. I...
LTR
I bought a LTR in .308 last year and saved until I got the scope I wanted this year. I now have a Leupold 3.5x10x40 M1 Tactical with Mark 4 bases and rings. This thing shoots great. I really like it. I have found a reload that works great with this rifle, but yours may differ. I am now...
What to do
In the real world you never, never want to deal with cops, or lawyers, grand juries, etc. Unless the life of your family or yourself is in a right now last resort situation let the cops deal with it. If you do decide to do something like this I suggest you fess up immediately and...
Remington 700
Y0u say the primer failed then fell out spilling the powder into the chamber. You would have to have a mighty big flash hole to allow that to happen. I have had a bullet that was not seated deeply enough stick in the rifling and when the bolt was opened the powder spilled out...
I have a series 70 combat commander .45acp. The thing functions fine with the exception of the brass being ejected goes up and then back down on top of my head or down the back of my shirt. I would rather it go out to the left away from me. What could I do to fix it? I have two other 1911...
I was just listening to the news, if you can call it that, and now and then a Politico will come on and give his views on how the war, the economy, the moon, or anything that will get him or her on the tube, should be handled. I had a thought just for an instant. What if you ran for office and...
Loctite
I have had the same thing happen to me when I bought a used rifle. Someone had used the red loctite on the screws that held the bases on. They were really, really tight. I decided to take the gun to a machine shop and get them to drill the screws out. The guys at the shop took the...
Leupold Scopes
Try brunoshooters.com for Leupold and other name brand scopes. I am not part of their staff, but have ordered from them. They beat SWFA and most anyone else on Leupold prices. I have had no problem with them. Located in Arizona.
.223 handloads
Thanks guys for all the info. I bought this rifle used at a gun show. It is the Winchester Coyote, bolt action, laminated stock, stainless 24" barrel. This morning while the wind was not blowing (Texas) I went to the range to see how it would do. I did not have reloads. I...
I have a winchester .223 bolt action rifle with a 1 in 9 twist barrel. What would be the best bullet weight to use in it. I would like to use either Reloder 7 or H335 powder. I shoot strictly paper targets at maximum 200 yard range. I would like to get the best groups I can and would like to...
Win. 94 Front Sight
If you have access to a Brownells catalog they have all kinds of front sights that will fit your rifle. You can get thinner, taller, shorter and lots more. I got mine from them and it was a Williams Fiber Optic. I was lucky and have a friend that has a front sight pusher...
