I don't know exactly where to put this post but here goes.. last weekend a friend and I were shooting he was shooting his new england in 204 ruger. one of his cases seperated and it looked like someone had just taken a tubing cutter and cut the case in two. It was the third time the...

so i learned something this weekend don't tumble 8mm bullets with 44mag brass. the vibrations caused the media to work itself between the bullet and the case causing it to become stuck. I had to use my puller/hammer to get about a dozen of these things apart. but it got me thinking that a...

Just wanted to share my new backstop i built this weekend. six semi tires filled with sand and put on skids. shot it three times with 8mm-06 and could barely find the point of entry. self healing and only cost about ten bucks for the hardware.

I got my issue of bugle in a few days ago and was reading the article about the Utah Spider Bull, the Big Freaknasty in my book. but anyway, what type of gun was he using i remember he said that he designed the cartridge off of the 404 jefferey or something. Does anyone know anything about...

I was at an outdoor show in OKC a while back and there was a booth set up advertising for a long range shooting school. I seem to have lost my information for it. And can't find what i'm looking for on google(shocking i know) Does anyone know anything about a long range shooting school in OK?

saw something yesterday that i have never even heard of (just ignorant maybe) A 12 Ga. mauser!! The owner said that after the treaty of versaille the germans converted the mausers already in production to shotguns so that they would not be in violation of the treaty. I thought it was pretty...

does anyone have any of the schematics for a ruger single .22 they can share

i have an enfield chambered in 17/222. sometimes when i pull the trigger i can hear and feel it release but the gun will not go off. the trigger is free but it is like the firing pin is hung up. i took the bolt apart cleaned everything the best i could and it is still doing it. it doesn't...

I know that the 17/222 is a rare cartridge. But has anyone ever heard of a load using 2400 powder. any size bullet. the 218 bee uses, i think 18 grains, i'm not sure. i would have to look it up. even though the bee is quite a bit smaller than the 222 case it shoots a heavier bullet...

A friend of mine is wanting to trade his H and R .223 for a Remington 700 VTR .223. Im sure they are amazing because they are a rem 700. but i was just wanting to no if anyone has any experience they would like to share about the VTR. thanks

This is probably showing my ignorance, but, what are the advantages, if any, to having a bull barrel on a hunting rifle if 2-3 shots is the most you will ever make in a single string. In my mind the only advantage of a heavy barrel over a sporter is that the increased surface area would...

haven't found an overwhelming amount of data for this cartridge. hoping someone may have one and could share some data for 20 gr vmax 25 gr hp or 30gr hp.

I have inherited most of my gun collection from my grandpa. I didn't choose them so i just wanted to know what others thought of these cartridges. Arisaka 6.5 Jap (sporter) Mauser 25-06 (sporter) Mauser 8mm-06 (sporter) Enfield 17-222 (sporter) When he acuired these guns all but the Jap...
