    1895 Browning Miroku circa 1987 in 30-06

    I got this rifle for myself as my getting out of the Army present in 1987. Over the years I have played with loads for it and generally could not get much better than 4 inch groups at 100 yards. I worked up some loads with A4350 and 180 grain pro hunters. Looks like the rifle likes them 2...

    I just scored one. Those of you out there that have a CZ 550 FS please sound off with what you like about them and what you dislike about the gun. If you have a 30-06 let me know of any particular ammo or bullet your rifle seems to like or dislike for that matter. I am torn between leaving...

    practice of pointing a revolver up to cock it?

    Colts are more prone to problems than the 1858 Remington. This is probably due to the wider hammer nose of the colt. Some folks modify the colt ram by soldering metal to narrow the hammer notch in frame and then grinding the colt hammer to be more closely shaped to the Remington...

    REAL cal 58 bullet : how to slighly increase diameter ?

    The paper patch may be a good stroke for the first shot fired. Residue may reduce barrel diameter enough of subsequent shots that the bullet will no longer freefall. If your bullet is anywhere near soft, the big bang should cause the bullet to obdurate and fill the bore enough to get some spin.
