Have any of you gun nuts, especially the experimental types given any thought to the Custom Rifle Barrel Manufacturer Greenville, SC - Teludyne Tech Inc. industries new barrel concept. They jacket a thin barrel inside of a sleeve and fill the empty space with some sort of resin. I read this in...

Chase1 I have Craig Boddington from G&A asking questions could I get someone from this event to allow me to pass their information on to him so that he can make contact with anyone that is in the know on this. I think that he may be able to get coverage if you all want. That is unless...

You could put out the invite to Shooting USA from the outdoor channel. they cover this sort of thing on the Impossible shots as well as Sighting in with Shooting USA and shooting USA. If it was me I would just email them followed by a phone call and talk to their media department.. I would...

I do not whant to waist any ones time but you all should really consider having this thing filmed for posterity. you have to have a visual record of this, it would take like five hd cameras to get it all but any number of the outdoor productions would be happy to record this event. it is too...

I was lucky enough to be one of the last white hunters to get their license in Botswana, Africa. I will tell you that nothing is quite like hunting elephant, it is not the killing or the difficulty of shot, but the time spent within throwing distance of the worlds largest land mammal. I...

You know what I think I may have to resend my statement about the Sightron SIII. I just ran the 338 through its paces today with about 50 rounds down range and on round 39 I noticed a small speck on the inside of the eyepiece. It is part of the front ocular and can be moved with the parelax...

I would not over look the Horis vision line of scopes, they are quality and they have the ability to graduate with you as you get more and more comfortable with long distances. you also do not have to use the turrets to get you to 1000 and you can range if you forget your range finder. their...

This is some small snap shots into what I do and what I like. I have some patterns in my head that are just screaming for the right project to get them on too. Thats my desert coyote killer close up of 6.5 these are plains patterns this is the shodow plains 25-06 I am just making up names...

If you give me some time I will show you some better examples of what I like to call a plains pattern. It consists of heavy grass overlays and contrasting stripes. I do this refinishing for a side job in the winter when I am not fighting fire. I did the 6.5 pattern in a sandstone finish with...

I have thought this through a bit too and have been mulling some things over, 1st I used that same loading on some Hornady 250s that produced 2950 fps. same brass, same federal primers, same charge of R-25. I even miced the bullets, the hornady bullets averaged was 336.7, while the HAT...

I too believe in barrels as having varying affects on velocities. I stated that the 107 Sierras are clocking 3500 and can be pushed to 36 if needed, but the awesome factor comes when you get this kind of velocity with hunting bullets such as the Bergers. they are also showing signs of 150 to...

Load data I use: You must have all your poop right to get things this hot, like new brass, new brass and new brass. OK so just watch your brass. I like Federal primers, non magnums. Do not do this right out the gate, standerd reloading disclaimers apply. H4350 48.5 gr under a 140 sierra...

I will have to get my load book out tonight, but for some reason 49 grains sticks out but do not do a thing untill I confirm this. I used noslers book to start with and did nothing special from there. I do like winchester 25-06 nicle plated brass for this rifle though, mostly becouse it just...

This rifle has a 23 inch tube that has a modified varmint taper, it is just a bit steeper than what one would call normal due to the short length. as you can see I set the taper up to match the bell of the scope. I have a desire to get tubbs speed lock and pin to try to shorten the lock time...

This is my 6.5-06 on a mauser and it shoots lights out into the .3s and tighter. I have a schneider barrel and the stock is home made, but balistically I could not be happier. I get a solid 3050 with 140,s now that I backed down my loading. I use IMR and or H4350 powders and love the fact...
