    New 1178 jams

    Put 75 rounds through a new 1178 Rem. with 3 stuck shells. Seems they didn't extract and the bolt gets stuck. Have to pull the bbl to unlock it. WW Rem 2-3/4 heavy dove loads. Wondering if it is an ammo or extractor problem. I looked at the rim and didn't see anything wrong, have seen same...

    Searcy county Ar - fall hunting

    SIL wants to try hunting Thankgiving around Marshall, Ar, for his kids (7th & 4th graders). It's annual family outing, tags are pretty high for out of state so he wants to know if it is worth the cost. He wants his kids to grow up to be men, not computer game wimps. He doesn't have much...

    Attempt to close shooting range in Texas

    Pay attention- this could be a court precedent. Following is part of my blog conversation with a local city council member: Mr. Athas: I appreciate your email stating that you don't wish to close down the range, but facts don't support your comments. You present a ballistic distance report...

    Condor recovery program beset by bullets

    I guess Nevada wants to get into the 'non-lead' bullet business. Claiming the condor death is due to lead remaining in animals shot with lead bullets and left for scavengers. http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2011/12/04/2297569/condor-recovery-program-beset.html#storylink=mirelated

    308 win - 308 ME sizing

    Finally did it, got some 308 W brass mixed in with 308 ME brass and FL sized to 308 ME. So I can still load the improperly sized 308 W and shoot in 308 Win AR? I am assuming the brass will fire form and then I can do it correctly. SAAMI specs say the ME shoulder is set back about .030. Cases...

    308ME using Lvr powder?

    Does leverRev powder offer any advantage over standard powders in 308ME? Does it perform as well as factory? Hodgdon only shows a 100 fps increase in muzzle vel.
