    Hammer bullets coexist with Cup/Lead Core bullet loads

    In my experience it has been alot more noticable in a factory non lapped barrels ,then it does in high end lapped barrels . I started out just cleaning between different bullets only , but then after a powder change with the same bullet. Its easy for me to clean between load trials as my range...

    AR barrel swap question

    Reaction rod only way to go Brownells sells one for both lg and sm frame Also very handi for compensator work An upper receiver vice use can stretch the alum boss to which the lock pins engage .

    AR10 barrel nut problem

    I have build many lg frames Never an issue when using areo parts I dont mix and match brands of ar parts especially lg frame .with sm frame ar15 (mil-spec) you can get away with it. There is no mil spec on lg frame parts. Dpms is a pattern that is the most widely used but companies alway have...

    SD and extreme spread?

    The way i read the op post is that its an moa grp size , not really a apples to apples . 100yd grp is 1.5 moa = 1-1/2” .5 moa at 300 yds = 1-1/2” Same size grp For me i have not experienced a smaller grp at longer range ,except in a very windy day where my wind hold changes during the string...

    Garmin xero

    The garmin is the easiest so far that i have used , if it was run over or lost today i’d order another tomorrow. I used a glock hard pistol case , enough room for unit and sm pad paper and pen for notes . If you dont own a glock , im sure you prob know someone that does . Most owners dont use...

    Is my choice the most effective 223 bullet for longer range?

    If your staying at 600 yrds any bullet will work . If your going passed, i have had the best luck with 70 gr berger and 73 gr eld’s Both offer top bc in class and the best medium for fps vs bc gain . I shoot them to 1000 out of a long barrel gas gun , so 80 gr bullets to long to fit in mag. It...

    The last rifle

    I use backpack for sitting or prong field hunting ,and rear bag . If vegetation is to high and im on tri sticks i also use a mono stick for the rear butt stock ,using the angle that runs along the bottom of butt for adjustment up and down to stay on target. Trigger stick works well for this also...

    The last rifle

    In my opinion your choices are solid for rifle , manageable recoil and enough power for bullet expansion at your planned range. Some people here will say no to 6.5 dia bullet on bigger game , ive had nothing but good performance from it . The scope magnification range is good and swaro glass is...

    Barrel timing

    I have shot many barrels til there future life was a tomato stake . In all my experiences the throat seems to be the line in the sand for accuracy degradation. Ive had gas ports 1/2 on 1/2 off a groove and the eroding from hot gases has been very ugly but bbl still shot great. I bore scope...

    10mm handgun

    1st choice Glock G20 2nd xdm I had a G40 to long for hip carry ,great pistol but chest rig only practical way to carry it . G20 i can carry both hip and chest. In choosing a handgun its really how it fits your size hand . Double stack to single stack I have big hands so double stack all the...

    Bear country pistol

    My choice is Bear spray, bear spray , bear spray And then back it up with a 10mm in chest rig The 10mm offers enough penetration and more speed compared to any revolver Pistol skills are a very fast eroding skill if not kept up. Train with a partner and timer to track progress , timer also...

    February Shooting Challenge

    CNY I would encourage a do over , as practicing for a couple of days first. Getting used to the movement can be unsettling to your mind , if your mainly a bench shooter. You cant ever stop the movement. So watching for the target and sights to aline is an acquired skill between eyes and...
