I decided to finish up some old projects laying around and one of those was a Remington model 8 semi-auto chambered in 25 Remington. The 25 Remington is basically a rimless 25-35 Winchester. The Winchester was chambered in lever guns and the 25 Remington was mostly used in the model 14 pump...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the holes should be located on a factory drilled and tapped MKII receiver. There are 3, 2 in front of the ejection port and one to the rear. It looks like I could just straddle the ejection port evenly with the rear and middle screw, but would like...

Loading for a 338 win mag, attempting to load a long range target round with 250 grain Sierra Matchkings. I have loaded a few different hunting rounds, including a 225 grain Hornaday Interbond that shoots 3 shot groups .350" center to center, so I know the gun is capable of decent accuracy...

I used a scope leveler to mount a few scopes that I cant seem to find now. It had 2 "V" shapes, one to rest on the scope, one to rest on the barrel, and a level on top. It was sold in Brownells a few years ago, and not in the catalog anymore. It was great to use, as you could easily level the...

I have a Ruger Single Six that shoots a touch high even with the rear sight all the way down. Anyone know where I might find a taller replacement front sight? I looked at Brownells and a couple other places and haven't found one. Thanks

How much does case weight variation actually affect accuracy? I've been searching, but haven't seen any real examples. I'm loading for a 338 Win Mag, using 250 grain Sierra Matchkings for target shooting. The gun is a Rem 700 with a Shilen barrel. I weighed 100 sized and trimmed cases...

I have heard a few different suggestions for how much to increase a charge when working up a load. For standard size rifle cartridges, half grain increments seem to be the norm. My buddy claims for big cases, like the 375 Ruger we both shoot, that half grains are a waste of time, and 1 grain...

I see more and more rifles with bi-pods on them, and was wondering if they are worth it. I built myself a tacticool Remington 700, and want to use it for hunting and target shooting. Its a 338 Win Mag, and for shooting off a bench I could see myself using a bi-pod, and it would come off easy...

I want to load some target loads for my Rem 700 in 338 Win Mag. I am going to try 250 grain Sierra MatchKings first. What powders burn good in the 338 with bigger bullets? Also, I need to work up a load for bear hunting this fall, and may be using some lighter bullets, like Barnes, so any...

I might buy a Remington model 8. While looking over the gun, i noticed it is stamped 25-35 Remington on the barrel. I have heard of the Winchester version of this cartridge, but never a Remington one. I have heard of the 25 and the 35 Remington cartridges. Anyone got any info on it? Thanks

Can anyone tell me the radius remington uses for their rear sights? I heard it is something like 4.5 inches, (or a 9 inch diameter), but can't confirm this. Thanks for the info.

Anyone here converted a remington 700 to use mags? and Im not talking about the expensive clip conversions. I've heard you can do it, and was hoping maybe someone had pics and a description of the work to be done. Its for a tacticool 308.

So Remington now has a newer cartridge out, the 17 Fireball, which is just like the older 17 Mach IV wildcat. I have access to a Mach IV reamer, and I was thinking of building one, but now that there is a factory version out, I need to know if the two cartridges are identical. Anyone out there...

I'm building a 375 Ruger, and was wondering if anyone on the list has experience loading for it. I'm wondering what powders people have had good luck with. I want to try Nosler Accubonds, and I also want to try the Barnes Tripple Shocks. I've heard the Accubonds are a little too soft, they...

So heres my concern: My wife and I sleep at the end of a hallway, with our 3 year old son in the room across the hall. If someone were to enter our house, and I had to engage this person with deadly force, I am worried about the 2 layers of sheetrock in between us and our son. Will 12 gauge...

I recently was given most of an A5, probably 40s or 50s manufacture, 12 gauge. So it should be a 2-3/4 inch gun. The gun is missing the barrel, so my question is, if I buy a barrel that went to a 3 inch gun, but only shoot 2-3/4 inch shells, will the barrel fit the gun? I know it works with...

I recently took apart a CZ 83 (same as 82) for teflon coating. I cant figure out where the sear goes. There does not appear to be room for it anywhere near the trigger or the hammer. It is a piece that has 3 little arms with holes that a pin presumably goes through, and a couple of notches...

Today I acquired 2 Mauser 98's, one with a (supposedly) new, in the white, F.N. .308 stepped barrel on it. The other has a (supposedly) Sako barrel on it, magna-ported, chambered in .338 Win Mag. Now both of these were acquired as "unfinished projects", neither have been headspaced. My main...

Today I acquired a couple of (new to me) used pistols. The first is a Berreta model 21 A in 22 LR. It seems like a neat little pistol, the barrel that pops up is an interesting, but odd, feature for sure. The second one is a Ruger MK II. The Ruger has a slight amount of blueing worn off, the...

I just acquired an RCBS Rock Chucker press, with some RCBS dies in 6.5x55 Swede, I have the model 96 mauser that uses the cartridge. I was just wondering if this was a good press, as I saw it mentioned in a post inquiring about buying a Dillon. I already load (very, very limited quantity) with...
