7mm-08 270 30-06 256 Newton 5.56

Plumb bob maybe?

Close, I have a 256 Newton

I just remember this any time gun legislation comes up and I hear/read that someone says they don't care about that particular item - "When they came for the bump-stocks, I didn't complain because I don't want to have one." "When they came for the AR-style firearms, I didn't complain because I...

Mowgwi Terry - 32 MILLION that was raised by VOLUNTEERS in the 50 states for the NRA Foundation. NONE of it comes from the c(4) side. In re: post # 70

Mowgli Terry, you are confusing two different grants. The NRA Foundation grants come through the local/state Fund committee that is made up of the members of the Friends of NRA committees that raised the funds. The NRA Range grants come from the 50% that come from the other half of what is...

Zendude (and any others interested), here are a few clarifications/facts: The National Rifle Association is a 501c4 non-profit - this allows them to be involved in the political arena. Under the NRA are also such programs as; Eddie Eagle Gun Safety, Women on Target, Refuse to be a Victim and...

Great, now my head hurts...

Unique was the first powder I loaded shotguns with way back when. Then I used it for my .357 loads. Now it's my go-to shotgun and .357 and .41 Mag powder (cast bullets on this one). Shoots relatively clean. Easy to clean when I have to. Working on an 8 lb-er Now. Should last me a while.

Wonder if any/many of the mainstream manufacturers will go back to have dealer direct sales through Rep groups again? Lately, it seems most all of the manufacturers just go through distribution. I'm old enough to remember when Remington and Olin/Winchester used to have reps calling on local...

I work with a lot of these organizations; 4-H, SCTP, FFA, JROTC etc. The funding they get from the NRA Foundation ( www.nrafoundation.org ) and Friends of NRA ( www.friendsofnra.org) is, for many, their lifeblood for continuing this education. If you're into raffles, auctions etc, find the...

Thought of another "Know the difference between Concealment and Cover"

"Squeeze the trigger like a teat." - My Dad (former USMC DI in WWII) would always tell me. "Use your handgun to get to your rifle. The goal is to put the danger to you that much further away."

Well, first step is to smell of the powder. A sharp, acidic or smell of ammonia and/or a brown coloring to the kernals or a brown dust means the powder is only good for the rose bushes or the yard (in short, bad powder can be good fertilizer). Your primers are most likely some brand of 209's...

What? None of the 6.5 Creedmoor lovers would brave 'anywhere in Alaska' with their wonder-cartridge? ;) If I was limited to ONE cartridge, probably either a 338 WM or the .375 H&H.

I've had two and would take another if it looked like that one. First one was a completely original 'musket' type, with the long barrel. Somebody before me d/t'd it and had a Lyman All-American 4x on it. Bought it in the late 70's for $110 and sold it for $500 a few years back. The second one...

Thanks for the 'proving', Nature Boy. Your last comment about the paper plate reminds me of a range day in east Tx. A grandad, his son and grandson were out about 3 spots down. The grandson was shooting an iron sighted 30-30. When granddad announce it was 'good enough', they packed up and left...

The average hunter will never live long enough to wear out that rifle. 17 rounds in three years won't put a whole lot of wear on the barrel. 17 rounds as fast as you work the bolt on the other hand, will wear on a barrel. I would guess, with your amount of shooting, you have between 1200 and...

Nothing major to most; Rem 788 in 223 H&R bull barrel 223 that put just about any factory load inside an inch at 100 yards. That's what comes to mind right now.
