I dusted off the Venom, today, and I forgot how good it is shooting. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. But I cut more than 6 inches off the barrel, anyway. It's no longer the longest, by far, rifle on my rack. It's a little shorter than all my powder burners, now. Shot great before...

Discovered two new tricks that may be on interest to some other airgunners. Adjusting objective on a pistol scope: With the purchase of a pair of strap wrenches, I was able to easily loosen the objective lens cap/carrier of my Simmons Prohunter. It adjusts down to 4 yards, now, with a...

When you have a sub 500 fps rifle, you can shoot any darn time you like, I say. I had some accuracy issues, initially, as you can see in this photo: But now I have that sorted out, I rebuilt my target holder with new and smaller holes. Here are a couple of night pics with crappy...

My new plinking rifle, a Ruger Explorer, has been a little frustrating. I have lapped the bore. I have recrowned the gun. I have tweaked with the barrel tension. I have tried seven different pellets, and the only pellet it would shoot is the Daisy Precision Max 177 wadcutter. And I couldn't even...

Here's my newest air rifle. I love my Venom, but it's just too powerful (and "too scoped") to get to shoot much around the house. I found I was shooting my Crosman pistols more often, and 95% of the time at 4 pumps or less. So I shopped around and ended up buying a Ruger Explorer youth rifle...

Anyone ever try lubing pellets? I have a new project rifle that I don't shoot so great but is proving to be really fun - 500 fps Ruger Explorer. From 9 yards, I got it down from an initial 4" group to about 1", by bending the barrel. It was initially bent to the right where the rear sight had...

I'm curious to try some different pellets, and I'm wondering if anyone out there can help... by measuring their pellet head diameters. What I have noticed with JSB pellets has me worried. Diameter of the head varies between tins, and some won't shoot in my guns. If anyone can take the time...

I just wanted to post the results of an experiment that is 3 years in the making. Well, it took me 3 years, anyway. Long story short: 3 years ago I tried MBC .356 Small Ball 18BHN bullets. Had fouling and poor accuracy. Shot up all 1000 bullets, anyway, and got familiar with Chore Boys...

I am wondering is anyone has had any luck buying an Accutrigger trigger spring. The previous owner buggered with the spring on my M10 rifle, and I am running into issue that this part is for authorized service centers, only. If anyone knows some place I can order this part, would...

Sorry no pics. Here's the manufacturer website: http://www.zastava-arms.rs/en/civilianproduct/sporting-rifle-m85 JG Sales got in a shipment of these rifles in 223 and 7.62x39 a few months back. I picked up a 223 on a whim, and I finally got mine sorted out. The gun has deep bluing and a...

can someone pm me? I usually order from PV, but my bullet is out of stock. :(

Comparing the specs posted on the Glock website, it appears that the G40 is a G35 slide on a G20/21 frame with a new 10mm barrel? The difference in weight between a G35 and a G40 is only 28 grams, which might be accounted for by the larger frame? In comparison to the G40, the G21...

I'm thinking about acquiring a pistol caliber carbine. I really don't care for shooting revolvers, I have found. But I have a lot of bullets, brass, and loaded ammo. So I was wondering. Say I have a lot of 357 non-GC'd cast reloads with a maximum charge of magnum powder. This shoots fine in my...

Here's what happens when you get carried away, thinning out the bevel on a knife. http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv241/gloob27x/DSC_0942_zpsdb167b82.jpg Oh. For reference, these knives began life as hollow grinds. And the bevels took a lot of thinning out, even before the grinding...

This is all true. But it has nothing to do with edge strength. If you want to consider rippling, you also have to consider than when your edge hits something hard, some elasticity/flexibility of that edge may prevent it from failing, too. As for pressure inwards towards the spine, yes. If...

When everyone else feels like me, the shortage will not only be over, but prices will drop thru the floor. Due to the shortage, I decided to buy a 5k sleeve of primers and 8 lbs of rifle powder that I normally wouldn't have felt I needed.... And I also drastically reduced my...

I had some flooding last weekend. While I was shuffling stuff around to get what I could off the floor, I dropped two cans of powder. They were the Hodgdon/Win/IMR style 1 lb cans. They fell from a height of just under 6 feet. I didn't think much of it. But when I finally looked down, there was...

I vowed in another thread to post a vid when I got the chance. I finally did some shooting (of my rifle), so I sat down and did some more shooting (with my camera). So here it is; eight 223 cases trimmed and outside chamfered in a minute. That's about 7.5 seconds per case. (I am not inside...

I know. Tumbler media is cheap. But I'm cheaper. I'm still pretty much using the same 2 jugs of tumbler media I have been since I started reloading, countless thousands of rounds later. I've lost some, here and there, to entropy, so I'm down to a jug+. But I still have more than 2 full...

How I modified a powder measure to have quick change inserts: So my brand new Lee PPM arrived in the mail, yesterday. http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv241/gloob27x/SAM_0222.jpg First thing I did was to take it to my trim saw and cut off the measuring part...
