    Lee target loader

    tho; they were made for a lot of calbers, up to 300WM. The design of the system is basicaly as Bench Rest shooters use. It trues up the inside and outside of the case necks, and trims them to length. Once the cases are fire formed to your rifle; than you use this system for your "chamber only"...

    Wisconsin Tragedy

    Very sad indeed. A man's "private property" is not private any more! After the fact of this tragety; a cell phone call to enforcement, probably would have save lives.

    quality of burris scopes??

    Mounting your scope for eye relief and adjusting the eye piece for your eye are very important for clarity. I own a 2X10x50 Burris Signature with posi-lock since 1994. Sent it in last year for the B/plex installation last year; and can honestly say there Customer Service is great. The .338 Lapua...

    Number of cases..

    Flashman: Great Cartridge; Use the high quality Norma Brass made for this cartridge. I shoot the 308 Norma Mag and 338 Lapua Mag. In all cases I keep my loads BELOW max pressures, and will easly get 20 reloads out of each case, and more. Good Shooting

    Chris and me went bear huntin'

    Re: Chris and me went bear huntin\' Have a good Hunting Trip Guy's. If you are going to one of our Northern Provinces in Canada, you more than likely will be hunting over BAIT. You'll be shooting so close in, that I suggest the largest bullet for the caliber to give a good chance for full...

    Barrel Cooling

    You should use air to cool down a barrel. In normal Machine Shop Practice it is known that you change the molecules of steel in using cold water. I'm not a rifle barrel builder; but a MACHINIST. What you are doing is shocking and hardining the barrel. Barrel Manufacturers may have a comment also...

    Barrel Brakes engineering

    Randy; I like the Vias design and use it on the 338 Lapua Mag. I'm not sure about degrees on the crown as you have stated in relationship to this brake design. I do know there must be a connection that I do not understand; but the front hole disbersment in the Vias, works very well in the above...

    Hearing Protection

    Ian: I purchased a set of Silencio Rangesafe, #RSX-85's in 1992. Do exactly the same as Walkers. Use them all the time shooting. I will admit a lot of guy's are using Walkers now because of the advertising. Most of the people I shoot with thought mine where phonies until they put them on!. Great...
