Well I built a 6.5 Grendel and for Pure accuracy and distance it will surgically plant a bullet in any animal out to 300 yards quite comfortably. But I also recently bought a 450 BM upper, and I have...

I started out with a Crosman when I was 8, it was .177, had a smooth bore and for me was useless. When I was 10, I bought a Sheridan Blue Streak and "oh my God, my life changed." At the end of the...

I guess I was just lucky when I chose a scope for my R-1 back in the '80s. I put a tasco 4x12 w/target turrets on it and it has held up to 34 years of recoiling. It was made in the good old days when...

I have a Sheridan Blue Streak that I have had for some 25 years (I have owned 4 of them over the span of 50 years), an R-1 that I rebuild that's 34 years old, a Feinwerkbau 65 with the barrel weight...

Thank you gentlemen for all of your input. I bought a Redding form and trim die and after annealing only lost about 4 out of 150. I slugged the barrel and it reads .2545". Thank God it's not...

Gentlemen,
I have made .17 Fireball brass from .223 and .222 brass, I have the forming dies and it's no big deal. I have made .32-40 brass from .30-30 and .32 spl from .30-30 and even .38-55 from...

I have had the sad duty of putting three horses down on the farm and I used my 336/.35 Remington to do it. A 200gr RCBS boolit ahead of a charge of BLC2 and it was instant each time, not a kick,...

I recently drove air cooled COWW 175.5gr GC saeco .30 cal tapered boolits in a .308 bolt gun at 1800 fps with 17 grains of 2400 and 7 shots went into .339". Even at 23.0 grains and some 2200 fps I...

.222 rem to .17 Fireball (when you couldn't find brass)
.223 to .17 Fireball (when you couldn't find brass)
.22 hornet to .17 ackley imp. hornet
.30-30 to .38-55 (when you couldn't find brass)...

I really like the Saeco 315 tapered G/C'd boolit sized .311. It should be named the "ruiner" as it shoots like a house afire.

Perhaps a year or more ago I loaded some .308's and there they sat in the box until last weekend. It was sunny, bright, little to no wind and according to some gun writers I should have never gotten...

I got rid of the bell mouth on my shortened .38-55 using a lyman neck sizing die. I adjusted the die just enough to straighten the case out but then again I am using a Win/jap 1885 (that shoots like...

I put together a .375 H&H, some 30 years ago using a Mark X action, an Interarms stock and a 26" medium heavy barrel. I have never hunted in Africa but with a G/C'd 255gr cast boolit @ 2000fps, it's...

Christ said he would go and make a place for each of us. Heaven for me will be a nicely kept rifle range, slight breezes, sunny days, accurate rifles and fine ammo. Felix, though I have never met you...

I have owned a 77/22 hornet for 14 years and when I got it, the very first thing I did was to make up shims for the bolt and a new bolt pin. I guess Ruger doesn't understand the concept of holding a...

I have a Marlin in .32-20 and for small game...hands down a great cartridge and yes you can take a deer with it.

The Federal 10 slug is actuall a long 12 gauge dia foster slug. I cut one open years ago and was disappointed when I measured the diameter. I made up a double cavity RB mould, it drops a 660gr ww...

Yes SBS I am using a rifled barrel, will filling the base of the slug with a hot gun gun also work in place of the nitro wad card?

I finally got a Lyman mold for the sabot slug, cast up 50 of them out of ACWW and using 23 grains of Unique loaded up 30 of them. At 50 yards I get three holes touching and all is well. At 100 yards,...

When at 18 years old I lost a 10 point standing buck at 200 yds using Sierra 180 SPBT in a Mauser mk10 .30-06, I decided to get a stopping cartridge. Three years later, I bought a pre-chambered...

I would have to say that it was either a very, very fortunate group for him or it's BS. The very best I have ever gotten from a .22 was from my Winchester 52b(repro) using Federal UMB ammo on a dead...

[QUOTE=BruceB;2269094]A true, QUALITY .22 (rifle or handgun) is a joy forever.

I must admit, there isn't much that is more rewarding than a fine adult sized .22. I bought a Winchester 52B (repro)...

Wrinkles on the nose, no sharp corners on the lube grooves and the hole in the base....try casting at a higher temp, perhaps 720F to 750F. I use a cheap hot plate that I picked up at Walmart to...

I have a Marlin CL, I shot the RCBS 115gr SWC w/GC sized .313 over 10gr of 2400. I get 1.75" groups at 150 yards. I keep my shots to 100 yds on slow moving or stopped animals. The .32-20 leaves them...

I haven't heard about it being phased out, I have a Remington SPS in .17 Fireball and I'm pleased as peaches with it. A manth and a half ago I capped another woodchuck with it and as usual...no exit...
