    Is your favorite rifle custom made or factory made ? I have a close tie

    I have both factory and customs that shoot well.When it really comes down to a choice between the two sometimes,it's the stock that's on the rifle.The stock can sometimes make a difference in how well the gun shoots and how well the stock fits the shooter can also make a difference in how well...

    Bell & Carlson; state loyalty

    I have several Bell and Carlsons.They are great stocks.But like others,I bed it.Even though they have aluminum bedding blocks,the rear of the recoil lug may not make solid contact.This can cause you some accuracy issues.This is not just a problem with this brand,I find it with other brands too.

    Question on finding pressure

    I watched my velocity jump way up one day as I started seating my bullets closer to the lands.My load started around .050 off.Once I got inside .020 off the lands,the velocity increase was equal to adding about 1.0-1.5grs of powder.With velocity increase,there is also a pressure...
