I love my 30-30.
But watching this video made me re-think necessity of having a semi-auto for combat. It's a MUST.

My very close cousin hung himself about 10 years ago. It was very difficult for me, and I was only a cousin. His folks still agonize over it from time to time, but they are getting through. Even...

Wash the pan with some water and soap. Don't rinse it, and let it dry. The detergent will de-static-ize the plastic.

Cool, Willjen. That's what I needed to know! You are a great help. Someone over at Beartooth told me I could clock 2400-2500 without too much trouble, but I am guessing he must be doing so going...

Your 100 yard 'zero' is the first zero as the bullet passes above the line of delineation (is that the right term?). You will have another 'zero' as the bullet drops back down through -- probably...

I'll take that as a challenge.
Venture to guess why your factory rounds are soooooo shiny when they come out of the box?

Thank you for the feedback. I picked BL(C)-2 as powder for testing, because it was what was on the shelf locally. It was the only powder I could find and match up to known loading data for 30-30.
