I have been involved with 4 builds that J. Pierce has done. I am looking forward to the day that I can increase that number. Everything associated the experiences that I have had has been at the very least great. Without any qualifying statements I recommend Pierce Engineering, and I consider...

Measure each hole in each of the groups horizontally and vertically using the center dot as point 0,0 with positive up or right of center; negative being down or left of center . Average each three horizontal measurements and each three vertical measurements to get the group center. That...

I am sure glad that I saw this. I went out to the barn and washed out all the plugs that I had welded into my rifles with a cutting torch. Thank goodness I haven't fired them since I welded the plugs in the muzzles. I put some little guoges in the end with the torch. Do you think that I need...

Thanks to all for the replies. I may try something else later, but for now I am committed to the referenced combo. The information is consistent with what I am seeing and the distance to the lands will be a big help. OCW indicated that powder is close to 66.2 grains. I'll update in a couple...

Tresmon, Very good read and I too am waiting for the upcoming 3rd Chapter. I have taught my son-in-law to shoot and hand load in the last year. He case preps by your instructions. 2 weeks ago he was at the range and fired a 0.153" group (only 3 so I guess it don't count) with his...

Simple question - Anyone got pet load with this combination? Ogive length? Cautions, doubts, kudos, or curses. Intended for Yukon Moose and want it to kill the moose! I am working on this development for a very good friend and reliability is very important. thanks, unvisable

Articman, You might want to shoot it for a while. My guess is that the swell feels a little to blocky, and the forend feels a little wide. I can tell you from experience that after a while you may get to where you want it that way by choice. Also, they are incredibally strong and...

It is generally mentioned that brakes are louder when attempting to list the negative aspects of brakes. I use some type of protection even when I shoot 22 lr. Maybe its because I am deaf from not using any for so many years, or because I have found that it cuts down on distraction. My 2...

I am glad that hnts4fun won the scope and I know that he will enjoy it. Congratulations hunts4fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? Louisiana What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? 308 Winchester -------------------------------------- Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge choice above: Do you use factory ammunition? Very Seldom If so...

Kirby, Thanks for the reply. I will go with the H1000 and avoid trying to re-invent the wheel. The object of this rifle is to make holes, not experimentation.

Anyone worked any with WC 872 for the Edge? I have a supply and would like to give it a try. Also have some AA8700 that is a possibility. Anyone worked any of it? Thanks

James, I live in Haughton about 3 miles from the Louisiana Downs. Work for DOTD in the Minden PE office. I think that I remember you posting pictures of your son riding at a facility near you that has hunter/jumpers. If you know of those in need that are looking for stables - we have...

I don't know if you would be interested but there is a 1000 yd range north of Mansfield, LA off I- 49. You have to qualify to shoot the 1K range. It is pretty nice, I have been there with my brother.

Thanks to all! This is about what I expected and is reason enough to draw some logical conclusions: 1. Temperatures where I live fluctuate from about 15F to 110F. A large enough range to cause problems with some powders. Some of these problems can be dangerous. 2. I like ball powders...
