They can be "point on" and still be out several degrees. Take a couple of pencils and put them point to point on a flat table. You can make a "V" out of the pencils and still be point to point. Point...

A lap bar is the only tool which will help you align properly. The pointed bars can be out of alignment by several degrees and the human eye won't detect the misalignment. A lapping bar will work...

Those tools won't tell you if you are either. Set the on the table and put the points together. Now turn them slightly. The points can still point at each other but not be concentric. Sorry to bust...
ETBrass.com sometimes has 25-20 brass. That is where I bought my last batch. As far as killing Groundhogs it depends on the distance. I have killed 2 this year in my back yard at about 25 yards with...

Start low and work up slowly. IMR4227 is my favorite 30-30 powder. I shoot a 190 grain cast and use between 15 and 16 grains for a mild load. In your single shot overall length is not a problem but...

CCI "Supressor" rounds out of your 22 rifle. Very quiet and very effective. The neighbors won't even know.
Good luck,

I have had great accuracy luck with the Saeco 175 grain bullet. I can't recall the number. From 30-30 to .308 to 30-06 it has shot very well.
Good Luck,

The Remington 550 series, 552 maybe, has a floating chamber and will cycle anything you run through it. I run CB shorts, CB longs, and CCI Quiets and one of mine cycles them fine. Another I have will...

I own several Marlin lever action rifles including a model 444SS. I have had an aperture sight on most of mine at one time or the other. My favorite is the Williams WGRS which does screw to the top...

Red Dot or Unique are the powders I use when shooting such a bullet as you have. I shoot them in the 1,100 to 1,200 fps range. Hardly enough to use as a 200 yard efficient deer killer. I'm afraid the...

Hello everyone,
I am somewhat of a 16 gauge fan and they have been by the wayside for a while. I would like to load some 1 1/8 oz number 2 and BB shot loads for Coyotes. As you probably know...

I don't think there is any worry about chamber pressure from the engraving in your picture. Lead, even hard alloys are soft. If you were talking about then same situation with a jacketed bullet then...

Also keep in mind that Gunbroker sales will generate a 1099 come tax time. I'm not about to pay income taxes on my guns. Some would be a loss.

If a .454 will seat in the case and chamber in your firearm you are good to go. Use the fattest bullet which will chamber.
Good Luck

Try it without the change. Most of my 22's wear centerfire scopes and I can't tell the difference. May not need the change at all.
Good Luck,

Engaging the rifling is a good thing if it doesn't interfere with the bolt closing or removing a loaded round. It contributes to accuracy.
Good Luck,

I didn't take the time to read the entire thread and maybe someone has suggested this. I always install plain based gas checks by running the bullet and check through a Lee size die base first. I've...

Yes sir! I hope and pray you are better soon and much improved from what you were before surgery. Sounds like you are headed the right direction!
Take care now,

Well, it wasn't obscure at one time. Way back someone had to make tools. Maybe a good light bullet for a 38-55?
Good Luck,

So, to this old country boy it is a 270-08 loaded to higher pressures? Hmmmm. I don't see what's wrong with the 308 itself. What is the bullet weight on the new round?
Thanks,
