The rifle: DPMS TAC2 1-9twist (verified) 16" bbl, chrome lined, 5.56 chamber, rifle gas system. It's a nice rifle and functions fine. This is a friend of mines rifle who is getting back into shooting after a hiatus. Some interesting results from helping him zero and test some loads in it...

I've got lots of LC (Federal) brass primed with CCI 400 Primers, 500 52gr BTHP pills and 2 cans of 4064. Anyone else play with this powder in 223...if so what is your pet load and what can you share. I"m going to be loading this for plinking ammo for my AR-15 16" with 1-7" bbl with 556 chamber...

I headed over to Buckeye Hills shooting range in Buckeye Arizona this morning. One of the rifles I took is my new DPMS LR-308 Recon. Ammo was Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr. I was shooting off of a concrete bench from a bipod at 100yrds the groups were about as small as I could hold still. I...

A few weeks ago I reported here about how my Mossy 500 18.5" smoothbore "security" barrel shot slugs 12-16" high at 50 yards. So I set about figuring out why. The simple answer is this barrel without the rifle sights wasn't intended to shoot them accurately in the first place. But that didn't...

Hey all, thanks in advance for any help. I have a POA POI issue with my new mossy 500 combo. It came with a 28" vent rib bbl and 18.5" smooth bore bbl. I tested the 18.5" bbl out today at the range with some 2 3/4" 1600fps 1oz rifled slugs (Federal Power Shok). At 50 yards I was shooting at...

Found this last Sunday at the fun show. I'm very happy with the rifle and paid $325 OTD. It's a SAKO with a 1896 receiver, 1944 SAKO barrel with a wartime stock, so I would guess this rifle was built in 1944 then put in storage after the fighting was over. Receiver, Barrel, Bolt, trigger...

Anyone here sort 22lr ammo to eliminate flyers? If so could you explain the best way to do it. I have reloading equipment electronic scales calipers etc.

Okay need help I've found most O/U's don't fit me. I cannot get down on the stock enough to see straight down to the bead. But both of the Autoloaders I checked out at Cabela's today seemed to fit perfectly. One was a Remington Sportsman the other a Beretta both autoloaders.. I need...

I'm in the market for a new drop in varmint contour for my Savage Mod 10. Thinking about changing from .308 to 7mm-08, 260 Rem, .243 etc. I can get an ER Shaw from Midway for $137 they also sell the Shilen for $319 Anyone here have recent experience with E.R. Shaw barrels care to share...

Just finished mounting my new Millett Scope with Burris XTR 30mm Rings onto my Savage and thought I would share a couple of pictures.

Heads up! Looks like some nice deals on 3200 & 4200 scopes at Midway USA...LINK

Thought I would share something. I was out of the usual brass cleaner / polish to add to the tumbler so I looked around the auto detail section of the garage and found Meguiars PLASTX cleaner and polish...added it to the tumbling media and holy smoke, MY BRASS LOOKS GOOD! :D Here's a handfull...

I just had to say it. Needed to load up some more 45ACP for a range session on Wed so after work I stopped into Cabelas and grabbed 1 lb of Bullseye and 500 230Gr RN Rainier bullets. Installed the 45ACP 4 hole turret (already set up) and after I found my grove a few hours later I'm now done...

Been doing a little more Rimfire training and really enjoying the price of practice! 3 range trips in the last month with over 1500rnds expended! So today I just picked up another rimfire...a Savage MKII BV 22LR at Cabela's. Threw on a scope (going to swap out the rings for lower ones later)...

Anyone Shooting the USSG / Zastava Z5 22lr...Looking for feed back on these fit/finish especailly ACCURACY etc. Let me know looks like a great value for $225ish. I love the Walnut stock and deep blue finish I see in the pictures.

So what is the most accurate ammo for .22LR CMMG AR-15 conversion kit in a 1-9" twist bbl?? I've only fired Fed bulk pack ammo and it's very reliable but it's not very accurate. I understand 1-16" or 1-17" bbls are the norm for dedicated 22lr rifles. Anyone find an accurate ammo in this application?

While shooting my Savage today at the range I noticed when I ejected a round of factory ammo (Federal Blue Box 150gr SP 308 win) that the primer was missing...I looked and it was down in the magazine. Primer looked normal but I could just push it right back into the case and then it would fall...

Here are some Targets from todays range trip. The goal was to break in the new barrel and test some different loads. This is the rifle from the Thread I posted a few days ago "My new Savage 10FP with Choate "Tactical" stock" I started at around 8am and it got hotter and hotter it was 99...

I just finished (guess not!) cleaning 3 rifles. They were cleaned after their last range session but noticed when looking at them today they all had copper fouling. I could see streaks at the muzzle end and as far back as I could see. So for the last 2 hrs I've been running Sweets through them...

Background: Okay, I'm working up some loads for the range tomorrow. I have the standard Ladder Loads with varget and 168gr Match, 150gr BTHP, 155gr AMAX and some Federal 150gr SP factory ammo for barrel break in. The rifle is new a new Savage 10FP 308 Win. I made up 10 dummie rounds with...
