I also have to reply "depends" from this perspective. I am very picky about retaining any centerfire rifle that won't group well under an inch. If, after considerable experimentation, it won't group to my satisfaction it goes down the road. I will reveal to the potential buyer my best groups...

First and foremost, I have never hunted with a mechanical broadhead so I have no personal experience with them. I have taken several dozen deer with a variety of Bear Razorheads and Zwickeys. Neither one have ever failed me. Fixed blade broadheads have been fairly successful for a few...

Racin, Try the Sierra 85gr HPBT, or the Hornady 87 VMax. I'm shooting a 6-Dasher with the 87's, but my twist is a 1-10. My 243, however is a 1-12 and absolutely loves the 85gr Sierra without pushing it very hard. Unless you have a short barrel, you should be able to get sufficient velocities...

What twist rate do you have?

Springfield Range Officer would get my vote.

"The magazine was after all designed for 7 rounds." Amen!! Order yourself a few Wolf 7 round magazine springs and replace the 8 rd springs. I replaced my 8 rd springs 10 yrs ago and they went from the occasional jam to 100% reliable. Keep your mags clean! I clean mine twice a year or about...

going distinguished Fred, This opinion will assume you intend to pursue the CMP Distinguished Marksman designation after going through the NRA/Winchester Marksmanship Qualification Program. As has been mentioned, if you want to become Bullseye "Distinguished" you must shoot either a...

Pachmayer made their ambidextrous grips for the 106's. Don't know if they still do. I got a set for my port sided son in law. FWIW

what's next? The "How many Angels can you fit on the head of this pin" show. Totally irrelevant and a waste of my time. FWIW

34 years ago, demonstrating a Ponsness Warren 375 shotshell reloader. Turned away to answer a question and put the decapping rod through my thumb. About 3 years ago, loading 300 round of 45ACP with 4.3 gr of T322 insted of WST. Didn't notice until I tested the new batch...bullet barely...

+1 "I would be very hesitent to run an 11 pound spring in any 97 year old 1911!! If you do get it to cycle, it is going to beat the old frame & slide unmercifully. I would take out the shok-buff and put a standard 16 - 16 1/2 pound spring in it and see if it will function with the 185's...

Colt vs kimber I own or have owned 9-1911's in the last 20+ years, 4 or those are/were colt 1911's . 3 Commanders and 1 compact. The compact is and has been my carry gun for over 15 years. It has been utterly reliable, never failed to feed anything from 200 SWC target loads to 230 hardball...

25 yards and under, no. 50 yards, sometimes. over 50 yards, yes. This from the perspective of shooting highly accurate customized 1911 bullseye guns. For my stock 1911's, there isn't any improvement to be had. FWIW

243xb, "Sierra 85gr hpbt #1530. Works on small critters to deer to 400yds" You can bump that 400 to 511. Normally wouldn't have tried that extreme but it was my last day of hunting and I use this load a lot for everything including long range prairie dogs out to 800 in a custom 26" 243 with...

ddross, Excessive crimp will result in too much bullet/neck tension and spike the pressures. If you're working with a mild target load, you may get away with it. DON'T COUNT ON IT!!! You should taper crimp enough for reliable feeding in a dirty chamber, no more. When I went down to...

Try 4.7-4.9 of Bullseye with a .470 crimp, as long as its not Remington brass (thinner and likes a .468 crimp). Jacketed bullets usually like to go faster to shoot better. Jacketed bullets usually like .470 crimp, but Bullseye burns a bit cleaner with a harder crimp (more complete combustion)...

I shoot competitive Bullseye, so my suggestions come from that perspective. I shoot nothing but SWC 185 and 200 grain cast or swaged bullets. I have loaded & shot over 50,000 45ACP rounds in the last 12 years and tested thousands of rounds in a Ransom Rest. The amount of crimp is...

gshipps, a few questions. 1. Are you sticking with 185 JHP's (brand??) or considering lead SWC (either 185 or 200)? 2. Short line (50' and 25 yds) or long line (50 yds)? 3. What crimp are you using (roll,taper)? And what amount of crimp(.468-.472)? I've done a lot of Ransom testing with...

Check out this forum for Hi Power shooting. Let it be known you're looking for equipment. Great bunch of very knowledgeable shooters. http://www.usrifleteams.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=login FWIW

I have only ordered from them once. I January I ordered a spotting scope, received it in about 3 days. Excellent service and quick, I'll be ordering more from them. FWIW
