    Powder Prices - good lord

    That’s only for people who don’t make much money. Anything over about $30K and you don’t get it. The D-bag is trying to get the low income voters since an election is creeping up.

    Powder Prices - good lord

    While I’m not denying a pending economic collapse in Canada, as a Canadian, what in the world are you talking about? They aren’t giving every Canadian $2000 a month.

    Brake kleen for carbon?

    It was probably some kind of “carburetor dunk.” Nasty stuff to work with but nothing cleans metal pieces better.

    Brake kleen for carbon?

    Actually, direct injection has made injector flushes obsolete. There’s a resurgence of blasting to clean carbon from the backside of valves because they see no fuel now as the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber like on diesels. There’s a few products you can spray down your...

    Brake kleen for carbon?

    Full time mechanic here…Brake cleaner in an aerosol can or pump up sprayer will not touch carbon. Some carb cleaners do slightly. Brake cleaner will pull every molecule of oil off any surface it washes so using it on firearms can cause flash rust almost instantly. I use it for washing out...

    Remington 700 bolt variations.

    My RAR 300blk was trash. It blew the primers out of every factory round I tried. Barnes Vortex would stick the bolt. Warrantied it and the replacement did the same thing. Got my money back and never looked at another Ruger American. Fit and finish be damned, zipper noises I could live with...

    Have you ever had a what the h--l shots?

    Was hunting with a buddy about 10 years ago. Spotted a nice 4x4 buck with binoculars 350 yards away. Buddy shoots it with his 270. Drops like it was poleaxed. Make our way over and it’s definitely down. No blood visible. Buddy pulls out his knife and slits its throat. Blood pumps out like...

    Mistake: Shot a 308 Cartridge Today in my 06

    I used a string, vice and stood 30 feet away behind a cinder block wall off to the side. I was more than safe.

    Mistake: Shot a 308 Cartridge Today in my 06

    It’s been my understanding that one of the design criteria for 7.62x51 was it had to chamber and fire in the M1 Garand in case a soldier accidentally loaded it up. Held in place by the extractor and bullet sent out barrel withou major catastrophe. Maybe it’s a myth, not sure. I did it for sh*ts...

    Re-Boring 30-06 to 35 Whelen

    I’d listen to JES. Jesse knows his stuff. 14 twist is great. My factory CVA scout is a 14 twist and it shoots everything I’ve put through it. You’re gonna find all the advice on this forum is going to be fast twist for heavies or mono bullets for “long range” … after all, this is a long range...

    Air Compressor - Piping for Gunsmithing Equipment

    Go to a truck shop and buy the plastic line used for air systems on trucks. The stuff lasts for millions of miles in the harshest environment you could ever imagine. Easy to work with and easy to fix as well if necessary. Brass compression fittings work just fine on them. I’d maybe consider a...

    Headspace Question

    Federal brass is crap anyway. Factory once fired usually has loose primer pockets. I’d turf it and buy new.
