I have inherited this firearm from my Dad. Due to the laws of the land this side of the pond, it has had to stay in dealer stock until licensed into my name. My brother who knows the revolver well warned me that she "spits lead" and that I need to warn shooters to my right. I have been doing...

From left field. Is there any way to remove / modify the gloss finish on a riflescope and to reduce the finish to an acceptable uniform matt type finish? Cheers

Hi, I am wanting to know if you experience varying burn rates from lot to lot in the same powder type and if so what is the magnitude of the variance. We are not talking about from calibre to calibre as this will change but for the same calibre and load, changing from one lot of powder to...

I have agonised over jump. I read of people adjusting their COL with remarkable results, I have tried but simply cannot replicate their experience. I also want my groups to dramatically close up by simply seating differently. As a Hunter my groups are perfectly acceptable, but that does not...

Hi My brother has one and the barrel is completely shot out. It is either a '65 or '66 model. I was wondering what would be an appropriate calibre for a conversion and if it would take a 9.3X62 chambering? Cheers

I currently weigh with a RCBS 5-0-5 Scale. I have a couple of issues with the scale; 1. Parallax - This I have solved through the use of a webcam which connects to the laptop. It works a treat but is inconvenient to set up each time. 2. For some unknown reason I often shift the 1/10th grain...

Could someone please explain to me if there is any science behind the COL / Jump you load to and accuracy (read tightness of groups)? On local forums I repeatedly read of someone finding an accurate load and then tweaking the jump until the tightest group is achieved. Comments like "altering...

Long story short, having identified and remedied a couple of problems on my friends full stock rifle that has the action and the barrel fully bedded. I believe that I am at the last hurdle but need advice on the next step. When the barrel warms up the rifle immediately throws consistent 4"...

Been struggling to get decent groups with my Sako. Bedded the action, free floated the barrel and then eventually changed powders. Have shot over 150 rounds with one powder and to no avail, as a last resort decided on the advice of a friend to change powders. Shot this on Friday, think the...

Can anyone URGENTLY help with this, would not like to miss out if it is a bargain. Saw what appears to be an excellent condition Mauser Action for sale. The seller claims to have had the action at a gunsmith who says that the action will handle a .375 Ruger but that the magazine will need...

Hi, was given an electric lead solder pot a day or so ago. Is is nice as the bath diameter is 6" so with the right type of jig I could anneal batches of 50 easily on one plunge into the bath. The advanatage of this is that every case in the batch should be nearly identical in terms of...

I am looking for the lightest load that will take down a small antelope. My youngest grandbuddy is really battling recoil with 130gr. at 2750fps. Was thinking about a 85gr. Sierra HP at say 2600? Any thoughts?

Hi, I am strongly considering acquiring an arbor press and the dies associated with reloading with an Arbor press. I would like to ask some questions of people who use this method. 1. What controls the seating depth, the die or the ram on the press? If the ram on the press then how does...

Hi, the angle the press lever comes out at is inconvenient for me and my reloading setup so I want to do some mod's. Any ideas as to what the thread and pitch is of the thread on the press lever? Cheers Andrew

Could you long range accuracy boys share some tips with me please. I suppose this is a chicken and egg scenario. Although a reloader hunter I do like time on the range getting better groups. Currently I use the OCW method of establishing a load but I have not idea of how to tie that into the...

I bought 6.5X55mm for my grandbuddies in the hope that they will take to shooting and hunting. Well today was the day to find that out. So off we went to the range today, I had some serious reservations as these little buggers are real city slickers and had not even fired a airgun before. A...

How does the magnetic damping on a 5-0-5 work. You have permanent magnets mounted inside the body of the scale, either side of the groove that accomodates a piece of flat copper mounted to the beam. We know that copper is non-magnetic. So the permanent magnets generate a magnetic field...

Hi, Not being and American native I am a litle confused as to how hunting in the States works. I am not talking about the subtle difference between states but rather the general gist of it. I would appear as if you buy a "tag" and then get to collect your "tag" on pre-alotted government...
