Sounds to me like it needs a good "copper" cleaning. If I had to guess, I would say that you have a copper build up in the last few inches of the barrel. Swabbing a barrel is not the same as cleaning it. Get a good copper solvent (I use Sweets 7.62), a nylon or bronze brush, follow the...

I agree with most of the above, but especially with CVA54. Your upper body will always point a weapon to the same place, whether a hand gun or a rifle, etc. They will be different between the types, but always consistant. The body can be trained to compliment the above, but takes...

Breakfree CLP is what the US Army was, and maybe still is, using. "CLP" stands for Cleans, Lubricates, Protects. However, I would recommend running a patch of Hoppes #9 powder solvent just prior to fouling shots as it helps make the cold bore shot fall into the group. If your interested...

Hi, There are stocks available. Any stock that will fit a Savage short action ... EXCEPT...... You will have to know whether you have a "stagger feed" where the magazine box is attached to the action, or a "center feed" where the magazine box is attached to the stock. The two are not...

Addendum to my previous post. OK, OK, only publish their names, photos, and history, IF, they shoot lawyers and people in politics. (hee, hee) This would protect the innocent subjects.....I mean citizens.....in our churchs, malls, and schools.

Hi, In response to the original post. What our news media really needs to learn is to quit making "heros" of these kids. The kid that did the mall shootings said something to the effect that he would no longer be a problem to his family, and he would be "famous". And do to the news media...

Kirby, Please reread the original post. Quote from you. "To say long range hunting is anywhere near as bad as most other sites is not true at all. " Your right, it isn't true, because I "DID" "NOT" say that. What I said was the bickering was a constant over the years. I made no...

Hi, I believe that you are not reading it wrong, but, in my opinion, it depends on rotational forces: I.E. barrel twist. The "lift" will be "skewed" a combination of left/right, AND up/down. A bullet that is OVER stabilized will remain "nose up"during flight. I think this will create a...

BB, THANKS. From the bottom of my pea-pickin' little heart. Bwaites, just a note. I have found in my life that 9 times out of 10, if you wait long enough, the Boss/SGM/LT/CPT will be re-assigned, or move on to bigger/ better things. Have patience (not that I'm any good at that, but I'm...

Thanks, AJ. Keep in mind that I'm not perfect, either. I have my moments. Usually alcohol fueled. Some people may remember the last time, several months ago, that involved Remingtons and glocks rocking. I thought I did really well with this post as the only cuss word was "****ing". Pretty...

Hi, First off, let me say my user name is Wyojeepeer, and my original long range hunting member number is #16. I have been on this site for a long time, and while I don't post much, I do read a lot of what I consider interesting things here. And, a lot of times, some that aren't. I...

Hi, You might also want to look at the ballistics for 25-06. It might surprise you.

Hi, I bought one of those 25-06 Senderos, ONCE. It wouldn't shoot ANY factory ammo under an inch at 100yd. I tried 8 or 10 different weights/brands/flavors. I did not try handloading for it as this was to be my Pronghorn rifle, and I wanted to be able to buy ammo anywhere in the Boonies. I...

Hi, If you look close, you will find that the factory stock is flexing right at the front barrel nut and going back to the magazine cutout. This is the area that needs work. Bedding around the recoil lug, front action screw, and barrel nut will help. Some people have gone as far as epoxying...

Hi, I originally bought the Forster concentricity guage. It worked OK, but............ I then borrowed a RCBS Case Master from a friend. It does so much more for not a lot more money that I bought my own about a month later, and never looked back, as the saying goes. It's also easier to...
