    The dumbest mistake you made when reloading?

    Well, I guess this falls into reloading mishap. I was "pulling" rounds from a bunch of 38 reloads that had accumulated ov time. Whenever I had a cartridge not slide right into the cylinder of my target revolver, I would toss it into a pocket of my range bag. I was using an impact puller. On...

    Using .323, 220gr Sierra Gamekings in 8x57mm JS (M48)

    I have inhereted a healthy supply of these bullets, and have found that some ammo makers (like Sellier & Bellot have this round listed with a mv of about 2400 fps. I would like to duplicate this round for hunting larger N American game. I currently use 170gr Hornady RN over 49.2 gr of 4064...

    Ruger or Kahr?

    Kahr makes the smoothest DAO trigger out there. "Like a ball bearing on glass." I've heard it described, and can't say it better. So smooth in fact, that here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, Kahr cannot sell their wonderful pistols... even though they make them here. They do not meet...

    Swiss K-31.....Tell me about it!

    My K31 is easily the most accurate milsurp i own. Only the Swedish mausers can really challenge it. I love it, even if they are really touchy about cartridge OAL, especially with American .308 bullets which are shaped different than the needle-like bullets in their GP-11 match ammo. Best banger...

    new mid-range sniper

    I was hoping to find a spray version. I thought Dupli-Color made one, but all the auto parts stores have just the high gloss clear. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    new mid-range sniper

    First... the "hankie" does not get in the way... surprisingly enough. The Windage turret keeps it out enough that it's easy to reach under to push in another round (or adjust the knob). In fact. it lets me just eject the cases, which hit it and drop no more than a short reach from the rifle. An...

    Re barrel a schmidt-Ruben or replace it?

    Shove a couple of brushes full of RB-17 down the barrel. Let sit overnight. Scrub out with... anything... Hoppe's... whatever. Then a light patch of Eezox. Shoot and enjoy.

    The Patrol Rifle Concept

    Cheap, indestructable, jam-proof, accurate... and will stop... well, most anything with one shot... milsurp M48 with a 4X LER scope mounted scout-style at the rear sight position. Now play nice!

    accu-trigger = ccrapu-trigger

    I just got into F-TR shooting. On a budget, I got a Savage 12FV in 308, B-Square mount, Warne rings, Bushnell Elite 3200 10X40 Mildot scope, and Harris Bipod. Icamo painted it myself (first go at that sort of thing). All told, about $970. So far so good? The camo process I used, and my...

    new mid-range sniper

    I looked into it, and the only difference in this barrel and the Savage "Extra-Heavy" barrels is the taper. The 12FV starts at just over 1" and tapers down to 7/8". The others stay just over an inch all the way. In any case, this hit enough one hole shots at 100 yards that I am not even sure...
