    Advice on first .22-250 purchase...

    I was in this same boat several years ago. I was a bit disappointed with the 22-250, only because it's not THAT much more powerful than a 223, but by getting a fast twist barrel, a 223 could use the 69 grain Sierras. I do not think a 14 twist 22-250 will shoot that very well at all. And for...

    Something is still not Kosher

    Maybe I'm older than most of you guys, but if I remember correctly, Blazer ammo used NOT to be re-loadable. If after 300 mixed cases, only 3 gave serious issues, and ALL were Blazers, I think you got some old cases...

    Twist Rate .308

    I should mention, the smith who built it was Bill Shehane. He deserves the bulk of the credit for building a good shootin rig. In all honesty, I never thought about that group being under a half-minute. But even my worst group was just over a MOA; with a nasty flier from a missed wind change...

    I want a new 308 sniper rifle! Please help me pick!!

    Consider looking for a shot out 700 and put a GOOD barrel on it. You can always upgrade trigger and stock later. This way, you can spec the barrel, chamber, twist and profile. Yes, it'll be more expensive up front; but if you find a worn out 700 short action in whatever, you might get away...

    Twist Rate .308

    308 Twist FWIW, My 'smith built me a Rem600 based medium range (300 yd) BR gun using a Kreiger 24" 12 twist tube. Now, I'm NOT a real good shooter, but this gun has me thinking that with a better scope I can compete with anyone at 100 or 600. It was built specifically for the BIB 187 gr...

    Who makes the best Garand replacement stock / Why?

    Wenig/DGR Some time ago, I broke down and bought a Boyds laminate stock for my Garand. I spent many hours inletting it for my heavy Douglass barrel, and bedded it lovingly. When I was done, I nearly cried. I HATED it. :cuss: The oversized stock utterly ruined the gun's exquisite handling...

    IMR4064 Powder for M1?

    4064? Old adage: If it aint broke, don't fix it. You got a nice group, why mess around? Ok, I know, I do it too. Used 4064 for years, but now I use Varget with Remington primers in my 7.62 Garand. Basically, fill the case, and shoot it. Wonderful stuff. Had a smith check my gun over...
