Been a while! I was handed down a 10/22 target rifle that really wasn't put together properly and I'm looking into what I can do for it. I'm familiar with accurizing and plan to bed the receiver and float the barrel, tinker with torque settings.... What I would like to do is find a scope...

I have been trying to develop loads for an older 30-06 M77 and it just keeps spitting out a terrible mess of what I'm trying to feed it. It really didn't like A-MAX 178 grns ranging in powder loads from 53-55 grns. Yesterday a Hornady 165 grain SST (pulled one to get the weight) in a...

I've just started to cast bullets for my muzzle loader being the expense of taylor mades so there is a bunch I have yet to learn. Would there be any issues with using shoe polish for bullet lube? I tried the Liquid Alox for my .50 cal. sizing die and things went south pretty quickly. The...

I have just been given some LT 32 powder and the person whom gave it to me as well as myself are looking for load data for this powder for use in .308 rifles. Anybody have anything for us?

I sometimes hunt with my CVA Buckhorn .50 caliber using 777 powder and a #11 cap. This may be a combination not well known but it makes my muzzle loader legal for traditional muzzle loader hunts here in Idaho. Being it has iron sight and I'm using granulated powder, a number 11 cap and the...

In researching bullets for the 7.62 x 54r years ago and again recently I came across the D166 bullets and since I have been thinking about them frequently. I don't know what it is about them but they have an appeal I can't explain other than my imagination working over time with them. I...

I have seen some annealing tools on the market but they are not cheap! I have also seen youtube videos of annealing processes, some I agree with and some I'm a little fearful of. So my question is would any of you know of a reasonably priced annealing tool on the market? The reason I ask...

Im interested in knowing how much you longer and extreme long range shooters spend on your spotting scopes? 1. How far away from the target can you see your bullet holes? 2. How much did you spend? I don't care what brand, I'm not spending that kind of money myself as I don't target...

Would there be any ill effect that would come from using Shout laundry stain remover in a rock tumbler with my stainless steel and brass? Also would there be any ill effects from keeping the packaging silica packets and dropping one in with each box of reloads?

I'm fairly new to reloading and am questioning the thought of attaching a weight to my reloading presses handle/arm for consistant pressure when using my Lee crimping die. Thoughts anyone?

I had 90 thousandths channeled out of the bottom of my Talleys. I'm liking the fit although single digit temps have me avoiding the range. Not easy to see but there are only a few thousandths between the scope and receiver's corners. I also bedded the action, polished the trigger's sear and...

I have a Brownells Glasbed kit, it's brown and I would like it to be black. Will Testors model paint work for tinting this bedding material? Edit: Maybe I should clarify, this is the little glass jar of Testors. Running a test mix now to see how it ends up.

The internet kinda makes me crazy with researching certain things and this rebarrel thought is going that direction. I have a Spanish Mauser chambered in 30.06 with a cracked barrel right at the base of the barrel's threads. Being I'm without a Varmit rifle or at least a rifle I'd be able...

I figured this would be the place to ask being I only want to do this once. I have a Tikka T3 Lite in an olive drab Bell and Carlson Medalist stock that will soon have a Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14 x 50 mounted on it. I'm looking into doing a custom bolt shroud and handle with olive drab although...

I'm pretty sure I have just seen my third Prostaff go South with no reall reason. This one is the 4-12x40 BDC and it's less than a year old with fewer than 300 rounds fired. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14x50 with Boone & Crockett Retical. This would be mounted on...

Being I now have a rifle that seems to be better than I am (we haven't came to a verdict yet but the rifle thinks so anyway :rolleyes:) I'd like to work up some form of bench vise for shooting. I have a Tipton's Best Gun Vise and have been thinking it wouldn't hurt to use it at the range just...

Hi, I have seen mention of this product a few times on the net and was hoping that any of you with experience could chime in and let me know what you think? I have just acquired the most accurate rifle I have ever fired, it isn't that this rifle is hard to clean, it's the easiest I have ever...

I'm still refining my loads for my .308 with the Alliant 2000 MR and thinking I might want to try this powder in my old 42 Mosin 54r 91/30. Would anyone be confident in suggesting a load using Lapua brass, Fed 210 Match primers and Sierra's 174 grain match bullets? On a side note the...

I've been shooting since I was young and I'm a fair off hand shot but just in case of a longer distance shot while hunting I have been carrying a home made stick style non-mounted mono pod. In a lot of cases this mono pod is more hassle than good although it has been used once to take a...

I'm trying to match the Hornady Match Grade A-MAX 168 grain 2870 fps cartridges for my 308. I haven't seen the powder that I pulled out of the case before and was wondering if anyone knows what type they may use. I'll be trying to match what ever this powder is with IMR 4895. 45.5 to 46.5...
