I want to clean my decapped cases in a liquid soak rather than tumbling them. I would like something to dissolve the powder and primer residue inside the case and primer pocket as well as clean the outside of the case. Does anybody do this, and what kind of mixture do you use? Syd

I have a CZ and a Savage in 223 and the Savage shoots half the group size of the CZ. I have a CZ and Ruger in 17 HMR and the Ruger out shoots the CZ. CZ's are prettier in both cases but it is only skin deep. I'll buy a butt ugly rifle any day if it shoots good. I'm through buying CZ's.

Start with 120 on a new barrel, then 220, 400, and finish with bore paste. Use aluminum oxide rather than the sharper silicon carbide. Vary the spot up and down the barrel where you change directions when stroking the lap. I like to use a bit of oil with the grit. You will feel the rough and...

I'm putting together a 22 lr bolt gun for CA ground squirrels. I have a Leupold 4 1/2- 14 on my 17 HMR and Nikon 6 1/2 - 20 on my 223, and 22-250. Ouestion is: what magnification does one use when shooting between 20 and 100 yards? Also, what quality of optics are are adequate for a 22...

Put a jag on your cleaning rod and stick it inthe breach so the tip of the jag is about 1/2 " from the muzzle. With the barrel in a vertical position, pour lead in the muzzle. It cools instantly around the jag and you have a lead lap. Lapping compound embeds in the lap, so when you change...

Three shot group. Did a 160 yard group at .250. I,ve never seen a gun shoot so good out of the box as that Savage.

Tony, I,ve used the identical rifle to yours on two prairie dog hunts in Montana and have killed dogs out as far as 240 yards. The 17 hmr does very well out to 200yds, if the wind is low. Even moderate winds can cause significant drift at long range. I don't know how big a fox is in relation...

Powder: 25 gr Ramshot Exterminator Primer ; Winchester WSR Bullet: Hornady 50 gr Vmax Rifle: Savage 12bvss Group: .375 od- about .150 spread Not even a cloverleaf Will shoot sub 1" with Midsouth cheap varmint nightmare bullets. Cartridges loaded in a Dillon- no powder...

I looked at the 256 and the 25-20 WCF. They both have readily available chamber reamers and headspace gages- a real advantage. However, I'm concerned that the case capacity of these two cartridges is about twice what is needed . I'm estimating that 6 to 8 grains will send a 100 gr 6mm...

I'll build the resizing dies myself. Since the .38 Special is a straight case, a standard .375 reamer can be used for the main body. A standard 60 degree x .375 countersink will form the shoulder, and however many reamers to step the neck down to 6 MM. Probably only thread the last die for...

Building a whisper varmint rifle. Action is a modified 1885 falling block. Bullet is a 100 grain .243 at subsonic velocity. Case is .38 Special necked down with 6 to 7 grain capacity.

I want to resize .38 Special brass to shoot a .243 bullet. Case neck OD will reduce from .375 to about .270. Does anybody know how many steps, how many form dies will be required to do this?

Savage 12 If you know someone with an FFL, have them contact Williams Shooters Supply or Jerry's Sport Center. Just got one and like it very well.

Final word Finally received the replacement cleaning rod from Pro-Tec this week. Also included were some cleaning products . I appreciate receiving the new rod, but am irritated that it took about a year and a half to get it. This forum is a powerful tool for us consumers to motivate...

Emailed Pro-Tec on Dec 28th and still havn't received reply.

I have contacted Pro Tech in response to Mr Hester's post. We will see how this turns out.

Cleaning rod I bought two rods . 17 and .22caliber. The tip broke off the .22 one almost immediately. The rod has a lifetime warranty, but I have contacted Pro-tech 6 times, each time they promise to send a new one, but I have never received it. I like the .17 rod but will never buy another

Does anybody Know where blueprints for the 1885 action can be obtained?
