All my reloading and shooting occurs in Arkansas at elevations between 1000-1800 ft. As most handloaders do, I find the most accurate reasonable load as I work up a rifle-powder-bullet combination.
In a couple of weeks I am going to Colorado to a shooting range at about 7-8000 ft...
Conclusion
Thank you all for your input. I spoke with the gunsmith Wednesday. He tried to take the barrel off with intentions to first visually inspect and then possibly magna flux the chamber etc.
He couldn't get the barrel off. Stated that he used a 3ft cheater bar on his barrel...
I'd be a little pissed off! It says plain as day that when you click that submit bid button this is a binding contract...
Unless of course the seller had listed in the description that it was for sale locally etc...
But I bought a gun off GB, paid wednesday morning. It's arriving...
243win... That's exactly what it looked like except brass not nickel plated.
I was able to remove bolt from gun and machine most of the brass out of the bolt. But it's definitely damaged
New info... Absolutely not a double charge
Well fellas I got to thinking. I wondered last nite what a double charge would look like in the 300blk case. So this evening I loaded 18 grains of lil gun in the case and the powder came up all the way to the neck. I now know for a fact I did not...
R.ph.... Yes the over pressure load would have had the powder near the bullet based on how I loaded the magazine.
243 win.... I was hoping for a factory type bolt for maybe 1/3 that price... Thanks!
Yesterday I decided to reload subsonic loads for 300blk to shoot in my Remington 700 AAC-SD.
Using 220 grain round nose soft point bullets I referenced the chart on the lee reloading die insert. I had used imr4198 in the past but the loads were too fast for subsonic (sonic crack). I decided...
Coincidence?
ROCKETMEDIC, it appears your proposal is aimed at decreasing mass shootings in this country. I am surprised that no one brought it up(and if they did I missed it), but...
Do you think it is a coincidence that almost all of the mass shootings in the last 50 or 60 years have...
as your target gets farther out external factors will have a proportionally greater effect on your bullet. wind will push a bullet farther the slower the bullet goes. variations in muzzle velocity will also cause a greater difference in vertical stringing....
This is why ladder testing...
I think you refer to Richard Mack, who was an Arizona sheriff. There was a court case and he did prevail. Beyond that will require research.... Cause I can't remember details...
Please disregard my username for a second. ;).
Elevated lead levels cause the most problems in children. But studies have also shown that elevated lead even in the "normal range" can increase stroke and heart attack risk in adults. It is also thought to increase blood pressure (if that...
Ankle holster a j frame or sub compact. Or iWb on strong side and keep your suit coat on.
If you're not required to wear white dress shirt a dark dress shirt can hide a tuckable iwb holster and gun.
I hear there are lots of elk in New Mexico!
Actually, I've never hunted colorado, but spend usually about a week there every summer. That's going to change.
I'll go to another state for vacation that better represents my views!!!
why would the guy like me who has been gathering ammo for the last several years be mad at today's prices? I just sit back shake my head and sell another box to the next guy for whatever he'll pay for it. As another poster mentioned, we're not talking about survival here! It could just as...
