    Bag technique, stop pulse shaking

    I have a plastic stocked Marlin .17 HMR , which seems very accurate , but my groups seem to be handicapped by the crosshairs shaking, everytime my heart beats. Any suggestions how to eliminate this? I am using a tripod front rest with a leather bag on it and a rear leather sandbag.

    Help Identifying action for stock.

    I acquired this semi finished gunstock, . Would like to use it, but I can't figure out what action it fits. There are holes for three action screws. The two extreme screws are 7 15/16" apart.

    I am thinking of going to stainless pin media in my rotary tumbler. What liquid does everyone recommend? I am thinking the liquid doesn't matter much, probably try water with a little detergent.

    Strange Weaver Scope

    I was at a flea market and came across a Weaver Scope in traditional Weaver box. It appeared to be a 3/4" or 7/8" tube .22 scope. However, the scope had no crosshairs in it, and no turrets on it. It's not like the turrets were ever there, no holes or other evidence of turrets. I seem to recall...

    .38 vs .357 Cowboy loads

    I have been trying to work up a light cowboy action load. I have settled on 2.5 grains of PB with 125 truncated cone lead bullets. Shooting them in Beretta Stampede revolvers. I find that the same load in the .38 cases seems to produce tighter groups than in the .357 case. Any ideas why and has...
