Looks like this is what the "Smooth" campaign was about. I'm on board, have been waiting for the new Ruglin 1894s to come out and I like SS better than Cerakote. https://www.smith-wesson.com/1854 Edit: just saw the 19 1/4" barrel... That's really longer than I'd want. Still an interesting...

Today I received what I think are blems of an as of yet unreleased Sierra tipped bonded hunting bullet. I saw this box of 500 "Bonded Polymer Tipped" 30 cal seconds on PV about a week ago with what looked suspiciously like a Sierra pattern SKU...

How about a quick, easy, Friday game of "Guess that Cartridge"? Extra points if you can guess the bullet too.

I had my new 300 WSM Tikka cut to 18" and threaded recently, took it out the last few weekends to Chrono some spreads for velocity and shoot some groups, and figured since I had it typed out, I'd post up the info here in case someone is interested. Reloder 16 200 gr ELDx, 30 off 04/28 60.5gr -...

Heard rumors the other day, but it looks like Palmetto State Armory did indeed introduce their own 5.7x28 pistol at SHOT: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2022/01/18/shot-2022-psa-shows-off-5-7-dagger-new-psaks/ Copied from the TFB article: 5.7 ROCK FAST FACTS Caliber: 5.7x28mm MSRP...

I'm sure everyone saw the Veterans day sale that Arken ran last week, due to the marketing blitz: use the code "Salute" for $100 off. I didn't pull the trigger last week because they were out of the SH4 4-16 Mil I wanted and only had 6-24. Anyway, if anyone was in the same boat I just wanted...

I was actually looking around for any info on the Varget speed Winchester Staball powder that's supposedly coming out soon when I ran up on an Accurate Shooter article on a new Alliant powder...

Just wanted to drop this here in case anyone else has been looking for a reasonably priced Spyderco offering in CPM 20CV (M390/CTS-204p). https://knifejoy.com/spyderco-c223pnbl-para-3-lightweight-exclusive-stone-blue-knife/ This Para 3 is exclusive to KnifeJoy and came out today, but as of...

I was poking around the SAAMI website and noticed a new cartridge I hadn't heard of before on the "New Cartridges" page. https://saami.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6.8-Western-Public-Introduction-Orig-2020-11-01.pdf It looks like a stumpy .270 WSM with the salient changes appearing to be...

Didn't see this here yet, but apparently Bartlein is offering barrels in a new steel blend they're calling 400MODBB that appears to offer some significant advantages in terms of barrel life. This is from their Facebook post: "Bartlein Barrels is pleased to announce the release of a new barrel...

POF has kind of caught my attention with their recently announced very lightweight Rogue .308 AR. https://pof-usa.com/firearms/rogue/ At 5.9 lbs it looks kind of interesting as a hunting .308, and at $1,800 MSRP (maybe ~$1,500 street price once things calm down) I don't think I could build an...

Just had a curious incident and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, or might know the root cause. I took my RPR to the range Sunday and fired 50 rounds, ranges 400 yds to 1,020 yds, it shot fine, I didn't notice anything off while shooting, no funny fliers, bolt lift, etc. I...

I just posted this on another forum and figured they're might be some folks interested here as well. SAAMI just added a 6mm Grendel derivative called the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge or 6mm ARC to their newly accepted cartridges list. 6mm ARC introduction pdf The case looks like the shoulder...

Early this fall, after waiting for years for Ruger to produce a factory threaded 77/44, and even using the "ask the CEO" feature to suggest as much, I finally gave up, bought a regular 77/44 and had it threaded: I'm really happy with how mine turned out, but apparently I gave up on a factory...

I recently finished a 6.5 Grendel AR build, and did a quick OCW-ish load development to get a useable hunting load before the end of antelope season. I found a load that will work for this year, but along the way have run into some split groups where I'll basically have two fairly tight groups...

I posted this on another forum, but figured there might be some interest here as well. So the latest round of Snowmageddon 2019 shut down the town and closed work today, giving me the perfect chance to finish designing a wrench to fit my Obsidian 45. I drew up a basic hex wrench for swapping...

Finally finished! I've been mulling over the idea of a big bore carbine for suppressed shooting with heavy subs for a few years. The main idea was to put together a quiet package for plinking fun and short range deer hunting out to ~75 yds. I looked a range of options including RARs in .450...

Well I finally have all the pieces and am getting ready to put together my first 6.5 Grendel in 16" lightweight AR form. I've been reading about loads and bullets for the Grendel and thought it'd be interested to see what loads my fellow THR-ers are using and what bullets everyone prefers. I'm...

The Suppressed Nation YouTube channel in conjunction with Hansohn Brothers' has been posting up a series of videos that feature back to back, same host metering of popular silencers done with B&K 2209 meters. Since environmental factors day to day and varying hosts can have a large effect on...

After having nothing but great luck with Nosler Accubonds, I've been doing a little reading on lead exposure from hunting bullets and have decided to switch to lead free bullets, at least while my sons are very small. I already have a good load for the 127gr Barnes LRX that I will be using in...
