    Accubond LR rant!

    Any of you guys with the .308 210 LRAB's know what lot #'s you had that were successful and those that were not? Might save some of us some time, frustration, and barrel life.

    Best powder- bullet combination for 25 06

    For ballistic and terminal performance I really like the 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. I back it up with Retumbo now but H1000 had produced some really fine results as well. Both powders are great, I just seemed to see slightly less pressure signs with the Retumbo at comparable velocities.

    HSM Trophy Gold Bergers?

    I put a box through my .25-06. 1.5-2 moa groups. Hornady Custom with 117gr SST would shoot 1 moa. Now I reload with the same Berger VLDs and also Nosler Ballistic Tips and they'll shoot sub-moa all day. I'm a firm believer if you are wanting better than 1 moa of accuracy you should save your...

    Where to buy Left Hand Savage Long Action Magnum Bolt???

    How to build switch-barrel savage?

    Thanks for the info! So I went shopping for a new bolt and ran into what may be a bit of an issue...I'm left-handed (and so is my rifle) and I'm wanting to build a 338 Edge (338-300 RUM). I can't seem to find a Left Handed RUM bolt assembly. They have them in right hand. and they have other left...

    Machined my first brake!

    The Roedale is actually where I got a little bit of "inspiration". Haha and I know its a little ugly but theres just something about it I like...and no my wife is not a fat chick and no she doesn't ride a moped. :D

    Mounting and Lapping Scope without Wheeler Tools

    I recently bought some round stock and turned it on a lathe to make sure it was truly round (round bar stock will more often than not have flat spots) and threaded it for a handle. So while I was at it I made a set of alignment rods as well. I don't know if you have access to a lathe, but if you...

    How to build switch-barrel savage?

    I have a savage 111 topped with decent glass and would like to get another barrel to make it a switch barrel rifle. I'd like to get a 30" 338 Edge barrel + Muscle Brake. What all does it entail to have the barrel threaded and muzzle brake "timed"? I'm probably going to have a smith do the work...

    Machined my first brake!

    So I've been doing a little work on my stock Savage 111 .25-06 to squeeze some more accuracy out of it. Finally got some decent optics on it (Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50mm Mil-dot) and decided I'd like to try a brake. The recoil is easily manageable without it, but I had the opportunity to do some...

    .25-06 Options and suggestions for pigs and dogs

    I am a huge proponent of the .25-06. It is my current all around gun for deer sized game and smaller. When I first bought it, I ran the Hornady Light Mags with 117 BTSP and they shot well, but shortly after I switched to the Hornady Custom 117 SST. Started shooting much tighter groups and put...

    5.7 x 28 mm center fire cartridge

    Yup definitely available. I see them everytime I'm at Bass Pro and Cabelas. I would love to have it both in an AR platform and the FN FiveSeven pistol. Sweet little round.
