Its all in how you train them. We had a dog - Katie, that was a darn good pheasant dog when you had her in high grass and corn - but was terrible in a open field or in the woods hunting grouse. She was so intent on chasing birds that she would wander and roam. But she was a good dog in the fact...

My question has to be - what is wrong with Weaver Detachable bases. The Weaver base is a solid platform that was used for many years by such notable gun experts and snipers as Carlos Hathcock and Charles Benjamin Mawhinney.. Don't let anybody Jack U off, the first sniper rifles of the...

I think that you are one of the most honest people on the internet and that your answer deserves a real answer and not just a opinion. Let me start off by saying that the 30-60 Springfield is the caliber by which all other calibers are measured. Good enough for just about anything that you...

I don't have " " a bad case - they all come out exactly the same with the dimensions I supplied. My dad full length resized all of the cases and they were all shot out of the one rifle. I cannot tell you if they fit in the rifle after they are ejected - because I never saved a box - just for...

Just ahead of the shoulder - the spot on your print where it says R102 [R2.59 The diameter of the shell is .5175 On the other end where the belt is - the micrometer reads .511 The middle of the body of the case reads .513 The contricity is less then .0005 (90*) (180*) (270*) The...

With RCBS - you can take back any component for any reason and they will replace it free of charge - no questions asked. Even abuse isn't a good enough reason for them to refuse to replace anything they make for reloading.

Bob - you are absolutely right - but in this case - we tried all of that. The diameter of the body of the shell is .511 back by the belt and .5175 up next to the shoulder.. My brother stopped at Cabela's a couple of months ago and bought me a brand new Sierra Rifle and Handgun reloading data...

Guess what - I am from Punxsutawney Pennsylvania! I keep going round and round. I measured EVERYTHING. Compared the blueprint of the round to the reloaded round to the factory load and the only place I could find a difference was .001 in the extractor grove - which probably tells me...

My daughter was 8 years old and was shooting it like a Bb gun. Geesh - afraid of a little .223?

I took the rifle back once and they had a go / no go head-space gauge and it checked out ok. I was told that there was no real way to measure head-space and the only thing the gauge tells us is that either the chamber is to specifications or it isn't. I do not believe that there is any...

A previous experiment - I put some black marker on the bullet to see if it was engaging the rifling of the barrel - and it was not. I put some black on the neck of the case to see if it was rubbing and it was not. So after I made my post - I got out a bunch of reloads and found some that...

I tried the black marker trick on both the bullet and the neck and couldn't find anything wrong with either. The cases were all once fired and were only fired out of my rifle, The dies are RCBS full length resizing die's and were brand new. The first set was also brand new and I even picked...

Ok, just like trying to repair a car over the internet - it would be hard for you to understand without the whole story. I bought this rifle new about 11 or 12 years ago when Browning decided not to make it anymore. Since I live in Central Pennsylvania - Grice Gun Shop was the dealer. Since I...

So my dad reloaded 5 boxes of .300 Winchester Magnum - 180 gr rounds for me. My primary hunting rifle is a Browning Pump Rifle - looks like a BAR - but it is pump action. Shells won't fit in the rifle. The problem I believe is that the shoulder has moved forward. I tried to find...

I was off by one zero - I meant to say to the 10 thousandth of a inch. A good mic - you can turn it over and match the lines to the numbers. A go / no go gauge - is precision ground and designed to be stored in a pool of oil and is only used at a prescribed temperature such as 65* or 68* I...
